How To Deadlift For Beginners

How To Deadlift For Beginners

by Arnold Sylvester

Any man or woman with high hopes of building a great physique can improve their chances significantly by learning how to deadlift with perfect technique. This exercise is such a powerful move that it is one of the first exercises written into the programs of people looking to learn how to lose weight as well as those looking for strength gains.

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

There is not a shred of evidence which states that you should not do this exercise or that it will cause physical damage.

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:

* Plant Your Feet.

* Take a 20 degree bend in your knees.

* Lean forwards slightly like a hinge at the waist to take the bar from the floor.

* 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.

* As you push up, force your hips forward to help you form a straight line with your body.

* At the top of the move, your lower back should be slightly extended, chest out proud.

Wading into a power move like this is not advisable unless you have nailed the technique. The eight steps above will help you to do that, ensuring you progress at an accelerated rate and you remove any danger from the exercise, too.

If you need any further advice on certain tips, now we'll look at the more complex sections in more detail for you.

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.

Another important aspect here is to ensure that your back does not arch. Further still, experiment with your grip until you find a variation which suits you. Many people choose a double overhand grip, but success can also be achieved with a double underhand or an opposing grip with each hand. Try them all.

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.

Learning the ins and outs of how to deadlift can be tricky for many people, but you now know the basic principles of the move. While many tips on how to lose weight or put on size can often be quite vague, the principles above will help you to get the most out of the biggest exercise in the gym.
