This is only very basic guidelines and should be performed under supervision of a qualified trainer. These are three basic techniques that will instantly improve your dead lift. Matthew Brunoli – Limbo Gym owner and Head Trainer There should be no weak links! Keep an eye on Middle back rounding and dropping of the shoulders. By flexing the lats, back and core in the set up phase will help achieve this tightness. This tightness should have been achieved before the lift took place. How often do you see an ugly first rep then clean reps after? This is due to the weight creating the tightness. Tightness creates stability, stability equates to greater strength/power. Tightness – Probably the most underrated part of any strength or power movement. This causes middle and lower back rounding making the lift weak and dangerous. Majority of the time the hip start position is too low causing the hips to shoot up at the start of the lift causing the chest to drop and the hips to tilt.
The main thing to be careful of is “shooting hips”. Once past the knees, the hips should then drive forward meeting the bar at the midline, in a neutral position. The hips should ascend at nearly the same rate as the bar. When the bar breaks off the floor, the hips should not “shoot” in any direction. There are many factors which determine “correct” hip positioning such as hip height, hip tilt and hip distance from the bar. Incorrect bar positioning will majority of the time cause incorrect hip positioning and vise-versa. Hip positioning – Hip positioning and bar positioning are both equally important and complement each other. Drift causes many technical and biomechanical issues. The bar should break straight off the floor with ZERO forward or back drift. Everyone has different lever lengths therefore the position will vary depending on the lifter. They way the bar breaks off the floor sets the angles for the whole lift. Improve your dead lift instantly with these 3 tips.īar start position – The bar start position is probably the biggest issue I see in majority of peoples dead lifts.
