BLAST YOUR BUTT WITH DEADLIFTS

BLAST YOUR BUTT WITH DEADLIFTS

WHAT A GREAT WAY TO TARGET YOUR POSTERIOR CHAIN- A DEADLIFT...BUT HANG ON... HOW WILL I PERFROM THEM PROPERLY?

Pointers for All Deadlifts

• Sit back! Don't just squat the weight up — let your hamstrings, glutes, and back do the work.

Keep your back straight- NEUTRAL SPINE, EXTERNAL ROTATION IN SHOULDERS IS A MUST.

• Keep your shoulders behind the bar. This goes hand-in-hand with sitting back during the pull.

• Instead of thinking of "pulling the bar up," use your hands as vices and picture pushing your feet through the floor. Whenever I see someone using their biceps during a deadlift (which is extremely dangerous), I know they're thinking of pulling.

• Think of yourself as a see-saw. Let your bodyweight "lean back" and take that weight off the bar.
