Deadlift is one of the basic movements both in powerlifting and bodybuilding, and most effective exercise for recruitment muscle mass, since it uses about 75% of the muscles of the body. But for this exercise to be beneficial and not lead to injury, it is very important to master correct technique deadlift. World champion and record holder in powerlifting, Alex Fitness coach Yuri Belkin tells and shows how to choose the technique that is right for you.
Classic deadlift
The classic version of the deadlift is considered narrow setting legs, in which the bar almost touches the shin, while the arms are positioned shoulder-width apart. This type of deadlift is suitable for people with short limbs. Straighten your chest and shoulders, looking forward. Tighten your back muscles and arch your lower back, then lift the barbell.
The most important thing is to keep your back straight throughout the entire movement; the hump row can easily lead to injury. If you cannot keep your back straight and maintain an arch in your lower back, then you have taken on too much weight.
As you lower the bar, push your pelvis back, bending your knees only slightly. In this case, the bar should not go forward, it goes exactly along the legs, as close to them as possible.
Sumo deadlift
For people with elongated limbs, the “sumo” deadlift is more suitable - this is the name of the option with broad setting legs In this case, the grip of the barbell will be narrow. With this positioning of the legs, the socks should be turned to the sides, and the wider we place the feet, the more we turn the socks. This positioning of the legs allows you to reduce the range of motion, reduce the forward tilt of the body and lift more weight.
Deadlift on straight legs
Deadlift on straight legs, also called deadlift or Romanian deadlift, is aimed at maximum development back surface thighs and buttocks, therefore ideal for girls. With this option, the athlete practically does not bend his knees and does not place the barbell on the floor, but leaves it suspended at the lowest point.
Different grips: benefit or harm?
Many athletes, including pros, perform deadlifts with a different grip - this makes it much easier to hold the barbell. But the disadvantage of such a grip is that the left and right half of the body will develop unevenly. Therefore, to solve the grip problem, it is preferable to use straps.
Working on weak points
To avoid flaws in technique that arise due to problems in a certain part of the amplitude, you need to separately work on weak points. To work out the upper part of the amplitude, many people use traction from plinths (small elevation). However, Yuri Belkin states that problems with top part amplitudes are most likely caused by gaps in technique, so it is better to simply reduce the weight and more closely monitor the correct execution of the movement.
