👉🏻 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐬: Choose an appropriate weight & start with a weight that allows you to perform 8-12 repetitions with proper form. Gradually increase the weight as you progress. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐔𝐩: -Stand with your feet hip-width apart, with the barbell over the middle of your feet. -The bar should be close to your shins, almost touching them.- -Use an overhand hold (both palms facing you) or a mixed hold (one palm facing you, one facing away) on the bar, just outside your knees. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: -Bend at your hips and knees to lower your body. -Keep your back flat, chest up, and your gaze forward. Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement. -Engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine. 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐭): -Push through your heels and straighten your hips and knees simultaneously. -Keep the barbell close to your body as you stand up. Focus on using your legs and hips to lift the weight, not your back. -Keep your shoulders pulled back and your chest proud as you stand fully upright. -Hips should be fully extended, and your body should form a straight line from head to heels. 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫: -To lower the bar, push your hips back while maintaining a flat back. -Bend your knees when the bar passes them, and gently place the barbell back on the ground. 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬: ✔️ Warm-Up: Before lifting heavy weights, warm up with light cardio or dynamic stretches to prepare your muscles. ✔️ Maintain Neutral Spine: Keep your back flat and avoid rounding or arching your lower back during the lift. ✔️ Engage Your Core: A tight core provides stability and protects your lower back. ✔️ Barbell Placement: The barbell should be close to your shins throughout the lift to minimize stress on your lower back. ✔️ Lift with Legs and Hips: Focus on using your leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes) and hips to lift the weight while keeping your back straight. ✔️ Breathe Properly: Exhale as you lift the weight (the concentric phase) and inhale as you lower it (the eccentric phase). ✔️ Footwear: Wear flat-soled shoes or deadlift slippers to maintain stability. ✔️ Start Light: Begin with lighter weights to master the technique before progressively increasing the load. ✔️ Control the Movement: Avoid jerking or bouncing the weight. Use controlled movements throughout the lift and descent. ✔️ Focus on Form Over Weight: Prioritize proper form and technique rather than lifting heavy weights prematurely.
