How To Deadlift - A Beginner's Guide To Mass Moves

By Arnold Sylvester


When it comes to fitness, most people are a little bit overwhelmed at the sheer confusion surrounding certain exercises and their benefits. Learning how to deadlift should be a priority for anyone with serious ambitions inside the gym, such is the great power it holds.

Many trainers unfairly believe that this exercise is dangerous and certain gyms even ban users from performing it.

There is no scientific evidence to support claims that performing the exercise is bad for you or will prevent you from reaching your goals. In fact, the opposite is true. The key lies in learning how to do it the right way.

We don't recommend attempting this move without first properly learning how to do it, of course. There are a few golden rules to teaching perfect form on this exercise. They are documented for you just below:

* Set your feet at shoulder width.

* Bend your knees no more than twenty degrees.

* Hinge your back forward slightly.

* Your back should remain flat and tight during this portion of the move.

* With an overhand grip, take a shoulder-width hold of the bar.

* Drive up through your heels.

* Your hips will move back in line and you'll end up in a straight line by the time you reach the top of the repetition.

* Push your shoulders back and your chest out when you reach the top portion of the rep, standing tall and proud.

If you follow all eight steps above you will learn the perfect technique for getting the most out of this very powerful exercise. Better still, you will do it with perfect form which always ensures better results.

There are several items on the list which can be a little bit more in depth to help you get the most from each point.

The first of which is the bend in your knees. Many people mistakenly sit into this exercise in the same way they would for a barbell squat. It's not the same exercise, and doesn't require the same bend in the knee.

Experimenting with your grip can also return great gains, so get creative with the various hand positions as you gain familiarity with the techniques above. Keeping your back straight is the difficult part, but if you can focus on pushing your shoulders back at the peak of the repetition you will eliminate this issue altogether.

As you drive the weight up, imagine you are trying to push the earth from underneath your feet. At the same time, imagine a rope is pulling you by the hair to stand up straight. This will ensure the perfect form is achieved.

Figuring out how to lose weight often leads people down a blind path of confusion, but proven techniques and exercises are beyond a shadow of a doubt the most effective ways to build a better body. Learning how to deadlift properly should be one of the first things on your agenda before you hit the gym for your next workout session.
