If I’ve done all of this correctly I’m in the perfect position to initiate the next rep. Step 7 - Putting it all together https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9c764f3695e0f985c9491/46a21eab-ee2d-4c68-a490-8a6135b39e7d/Deadlift-Muscles-Diagram-colour-1012x674.jpg BLOG - The Deadlift: The Most Controversial Lift in the Gym - Make it stand out Deadlift Muscles Worked https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9c764f3695e0f985c9491/1b8df519-81e4-4e94-bb86-df1a5e73c184/IMG_9072.jpeg BLOG - The Deadlift: The Most Controversial Lift in the Gym - Make it stand out I’m reversing the movement here so instead of thrusting my hips forward I’m pushing them back whilst braced and I’m keeping the bar close to my body. Once it gets back to around knee height I’ll drop my hips until the bar hits the floor. Step 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9c764f3695e0f985c9491/7b4fb3b2-5dc0-42d5-b1d6-7c8f18fbeefd/IMG_9071.jpeg BLOG - The Deadlift: The Most Controversial Lift in the Gym - Make it stand out Once the bar is above my knees I go from ‘leg pressing’ to thrusting my hips forward explosively. This is recruiting more of the posterior chain, this will allow me to stand tall and lock my knees. I hold it there for one second, let some air out, get another breath in and brace again for the descent. Step 5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9c764f3695e0f985c9491/bf1e34a9-6aaa-4e1c-8024-efd0e2947a63/IMG_9070.jpeg BLOG - The Deadlift: The Most Controversial Lift in the Gym - Make it stand out Ok, so with Step 1 & 2 complete, I am now driving my legs into the ground. My arms are just hooks and my torso is rigid because I’m bracing my core hard and I still have my lats locked. The lats being tight keeps the bar from going out in front of me and ensures it stays close to my body. At this point it is a leg press to break the weight from the floor, you are thinking about leg pressing the earth away. Step 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9c764f3695e0f985c9491/c1239de8-1798-4224-86fe-391daf5cbc8f/IMG_9069.jpeg BLOG - The Deadlift: The Most Controversial Lift in the Gym - Make it stand out I push my hips slightly back and drop them down until my shins meet the bar - I grip either side of my legs (hip width stance) and I’m holding my core really hard at this point and I’m pulling the slack out of the bar by pushing my legs into the ground a little bit and having my lats really tight. The way I cue this is by pretending I’m trying to squeeze and orange in my armpits or another weird one is like you’re resisting being tickled under the arms. - You can see that I’m building tension into the bar because my face is showing signs of exertion even at this point. Step 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a9c764f3695e0f985c9491/78832004-ede2-4087-bc1c-593eaa676891/IMG_9067.jpeg BLOG - The Deadlift: The Most Controversial Lift in the Gym - Make it stand out I set up with the bar over the middle of my visible foot - this is around 1 inch away from the shins in my case. I’m cueing in my head ‘long arms’ I’m driving them down to make them as long as possible so that my lats are nice and tight and I’m getting ready to take a big breath in and hold it throughout the entirety of the rep.
