Back Rounding Blues
A rounded back is a deadlift disaster! Picture your spine as a scared cat – not ideal. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core tight. Aim for that
'proud posture' as you lift. Remember, proper form is key, and it keeps you safe from any unnecessary injuries. Avoid the 'jhukna' and embrace strength!
Bar Placement Issues
The bar's positioning is crucial. Imagine setting up for a tug-of-war with your spine if the bar is too far out. The bar should be directly over your midfoot. Shins should nearly touch the bar. Nail this, and you'll be on your way to a safe and strong lift. Keep the 'sahi jagah' and lift with confidence!
Hips Before Chest?
If your hips shoot up before your chest, your lift turns into a stiff-legged mess. Engage your legs, and drive through your heels so your chest and hips rise together. Think of it as a smooth push, not a jerky yank. Remember, coordination is important! It's all about moving together, like a well-choreographed Bollywood dance.
Overextending at Top
Locking out is essential, but avoid leaning back and jamming your spine. Stand tall, squeeze those glutes, and maintain clean form at the top. Avoid going overboard, keep your lift smooth. Don't go over the top, just stand tall like the Taj Mahal and lift with pride.
Ego Lifting Alert!
Leave the ego at the door, my friends. Avoid loading plates as if you’re going for a world record and risk injury. Start with a manageable weight that allows for good technique. Focus on progression. Remember, slow and steady wins the race. Don't be a 'dhaakad', be smart.
