Stance and Setup
Setting up wrong can be a real back-breaker! Avoid the first mistake: starting too far from the bar. Imagine trying to lift a heavy utensil in a kitchen
- you want to be close for maximum power and stability. Ensure the bar is close to your shins, and your stance is set, before your first lift.
Overextension is Out
Don't overextend at the top! Think of it like trying to show off in a cricket match – a little goes a long way. Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement to protect your back. Focus on controlled, smooth movements instead of exaggerated poses. Remember to stay calm!
Ego-Lifting No-No
Ego lifting? That's a big no-no! It's like trying to eat a whole plate of biryani when you're not even hungry. Lift what you can handle with good form. Start light and gradually increase the weight, respecting your body's limits. Remember, safety always comes first!
Hips Shooting Up
Watch out for your hips shooting up first! Picture a Kathak dancer; their movements are controlled and precise. Maintaining this control during your deadlift is equally important. Focus on lifting with your legs and back in a coordinated manner, preventing any unnecessary strain.
Heart Health Reminder
While deadlifts build strength, don't forget heart health! Just as a delicious plate of idli-sambar fuels you, a healthy heart powers your workouts. This humble fruit, and 9 other foods that are great for your heart, will keep you going strong. Prioritize overall well-being!
