This is a classic powerlifting exercise. The deadlift is one of the
fundamental exercises that demenstrats extreme physical power. With the deadlift you are showing how much
weight you can lift off the floor to the top of your thighs.Its very important to employ proper deadlift
technique when performing this exercise to avoid injury.
Muscles used Primary stress is placed on all the hip muscles, spinal erectors, quardriceps,
trapezius, and forearm muscles. Secondary stress is placed on just about every other muscle in the entire human
body.
How to perform the Deadlift
When you are deadlifting most people use a mixed grip(one palm faces foreward and the other faces to the rear). The
reason people use a mixed grip is because they can manage a lot more weight this way. Bend over and grab the bar
with a mixed grip about shoulder with wide. Keep your arms straight, your back flat, and dip your hips into a
pulling position. To pull the weight off the floor start by straightening your legs and then follow through by
sraighting your back. To complete the movement, as you stand pull your shoulders back. Revese the process to lower
the weight back to the floor.
Tips on the deadlift
Some people find the mixed grip uncomfortable. If you decide to use a normal grip instead, reinforce your grip with
wrist straps. Form is very important with this exercise. Keep your back flat and your arms straight. If you have
knee or lower back problems you will have to make a judgement call as to weather or not you can perform this
exercise.
