Deadlifting skills: Starting position tightens the whole body

Deadlift is a great move, it is powerful and powerful. No matter what your purpose is, ordinary fitness enthusiasts or professional athletes should perform deadlifts. It makes you stronger, have a better figure, and perform more vigorously

But deadlift is a very difficult move! It requires very strong skills. We have introduced techniques such as how to lock the barbell at the top and tighten the back of the legs and the shoulder blades!

In addition to these, today I will introduce another important deadlift technique: tighten the whole body in the starting position !

The importance of maintaining full-body tension when preparing to pull up!

The different from bench presses. The starting point of the deadlift starts from the ground. In other words, you start directly from the centripetal stage and do not need to bear the load of the centrifugal stage first

So you can keep your body in the tightest state from the beginning to ensure that your posture does not collapse and collapse during the deadlift process. The mantra for maintaining the whole body in full tension before this deadlift is called "Pull" in English. the slack out”, simply put, except for joints that must be moved, the rest of the body parts should be kept in a tight state of hard and tightening

What you need to do is to straighten your arms and let your upper back serve as a support point (tighten your upper back, trapezoid muscles and other lengths to contract, grasp the scapula)

The scapula, barbell, and soles of the feet should be connected in a straight line. In this case, the body will be the strongest and most efficient to transmit strength.

The shoulders are slightly rotated outward as if they want to break the barbell, which will allow your latissimus dorsi to tighten to a greater degree, so that it can provide more stability of the spine, while preventing the back from rising during movement. Tighten the abdominal muscles and fill your whole body with tension. Then drive the lower limbs and pull the barbell upward!

On the contrary, if a person gets up during deadlifting, the whole person will "vibrate" like a thrust, which means he has not done a good job of "Pull" The slack out" preparation action. Such a condition will cause disconnection of the power chain, causing you to lose tension throughout your body, and it can easily lead to injury to your joints and tear your tendons!
