Deadlift is one of the basic movements in both powerlifting and bodybuilding, and most effective exercise for recruitment muscle mass, since it involves about 75% of the muscles in the body. But for this exercise to be beneficial and not lead to injury, it is very important to own correct technique deadlift. How to choose the technique that is right for you, tells and shows the world champion and record holder in powerlifting, Alex Fitness coach Yuri Belkin.

Classic deadlift

The classic version of the deadlift is considered narrow setting legs, in which the bar almost touches the lower leg, while the hands are located shoulder-width apart. This type of traction is suitable for people with short limbs. Straighten your chest and shoulders, looking forward. Tighten your back muscles and arch your lower back, then lift the bar.

The most important thing is to keep your back straight throughout the entire movement, the hump pull can easily lead to injury. If you can't keep your back straight and keep your lower back arching, then you have taken too much weight.

When lowering the bar, take your pelvis back, only slightly bending your knees. In this case, the bar should not go forward, it goes exactly along the legs, as close to them as possible.

Sumo pull

For people with elongated limbs, the "sumo" pull is more suitable - this is the name of the option with a wide stance of the legs. In this case, the grip of the bar will be narrow. With this positioning of the legs, the socks should be turned to the sides, and the wider we put our legs, the more we unfold the socks. This setting of the legs allows you to reduce the range of motion, reduce the forward tilt of the body and lift more weight.

Row on straight legs

The deadlift on straight legs, also called dead or Romanian deadlift, is aimed at maximizing the development of the back of the thigh and buttocks, so it is ideal for girls. With this option, the athlete practically does not bend his knees and does not put the barbell on the floor, but leaves it hanging at the lowest point.

Grip: benefit or harm?

Many athletes, including pros, perform the deadlift with a different grip - this makes the bar much easier to hold. But the disadvantage of this grip is that the left and right half of the body will develop unevenly. Therefore, to solve the problem of grip, it is preferable to use straps.

Work on weak points

To avoid flaws in technique arising from problems in a certain part of the amplitude, you need to separately work on weak points... To work out the upper part of the amplitude, many use traction from the skirting boards (slight elevation). However, Yuri Belkin states that problems with top the amplitudes are most likely caused by gaps in technique, so it is best to simply reduce the weight and be more careful about the correctness of the movement.
