Barbell Deadlift

Tip: Barbell Deadlift

May 13, 2013 9:59 AM: Done properly and with proper progression this is by far one of the most important movements you'll ever do. You can start out light as I did, using just a 35lb bar and 2 10lb plates. This is a real test of strength that builds your entire body.

He lists 5 steps to doing it right from start to finish, it really helped me alot since I'm a begginer and was afraid I'd pull out my back. It covers foot placement, grip, what muscle groups to use when, breathing, etc. His instructions differ markedly from this Guide. -See Less

The next grip is one hand pronated, the other hand supinated (one hand facing you, the other facing away). You can lift more weight this way, but the stresses are fed into the body asymmetrically. The hook grip overcomes these limitations. In one form, the lifter hooks the thumb under the bar, wraps the fingers around the thumb and lifts. Part of the weight is taken be the thumbs and away from the fingers, allowing more weight. The other form of the hook grip is to hook the thumb and part of the palm under the bar, wrap the fingers around the thumb and lift. Here, more of the weight is taken by the hand and thumb, allowing even more weight. However, the body starts lower, which increases the difficulty of the lift, so you need more leg and back strength to use either form of the hook grip.-See Less

A piece of advice, perfect your form first and avoid loading up the plates to quickly. Of all the exercises in the gym, deadlifts are the hardest to perfect and easiest to injure yourself with. One final note, do NOT curl your back. Either check your back in a mirror (sideways) or ask someone to check it. If you can't keep it straight, drop the weight. -See Less
