Bodybuilding Workouts & Tips, Deadlifts
Are you ready to build your muscles? Do you want to get ripped? Do you want a body that commands attention and respect, regardless of where you are? That is your goal, is it not?
It can be done, and today I'm going to show you an exercise that will get you there faster than you thought you could. The only thing you're going to need is a regular barbell and a flat surface to lay on. Sounds simple enough, right?
Load the bar with as much weight as you can handle and pick it up off the ground while keeping your back straight. Sounds simple enough, right? I'm talking, of course, about the undisputed king of all upper body exercises: the deadlift.
If you're looking to pile as much lean muscle mass onto your frame as humanly possibly in the shortest period of time, the deadlift is your best friend in the entire world.
This is a very powerful exercise; as a matter of fact it can actually work the entire body in just one movement. The motion that you make can stretch every muscle in the body at once.
The main areas of stimulation are the back (lower and upper) and thighs, but once you start deadlifting on a consistent basis you'll see gains just about everywhere.
There are a couple of different ways to do the deadlift, however that is outside the scope of this article. We are going to take a look at the standard bent-legged type. So let's have a look at the proper way to do it shall we?
What you want to do is ensure your feet are wide apart, which is to say shoulder width. When you are sur4e you have it, grip the bar with your hands, and put your hands outside your legs. Most people use an overhand grip, but if you want you can have one palm facing in and one out.
Start the movement in a squatted position with the bar close to your shins. With your back flat, abs tight and head looking up, lift the weight off of the ground by driving upward with your legs.
Once you have done that, then you should pull upward on your weight until you are fully standing. Next you should lower the weight in the exact same manner as you picked it up.
You will want to rest those weights on the ground as you get ready for another repetition. Take a deep breath and begin again. Keep going until you can go no more.
Making sure that you maintain a decent form is very important when you are doing these deadlifts. You need to be able to lift quite a bit of weight, but you don't want to hurt yourself in the process.
The most important thing to remember is to keep your back flat at all times and to keep the weight close to your body. Keep your abs tight as well as this will minimize the stress on your lower back.
Do this repeatedly, that way you get it down to a science. When you're ready, you can start adding more weight. If you want to keep your grip from faltering too quickly, you can try using lifting straps in your deadlifts.
I recommend performing deadlifts once a week for 1-2 all-out sets. How many reps should you perform for each set? Well, deadlifts are such an incredibly effective exercise that they'll work no matter what rep range you use. My suggestion is to stay in the range of 5-7, but some people go as high as 20.
Experiment and see what works best for you.Treat your deadlifts with respect, and be prepared for the gains of your life. - 17269
