Mastering the Deadlift: Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Mastering the Deadlift: Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Hey crew! It’s time to tackle the deadlift like pros, but before we dive in, let’s chat about the top mistakes to avoid. We want you lifting strong and safe, so pay close attention!

1. No Squatting Allowed!

• What’s the Deal: Deadlifts and squats are like the Batman and Superman of the gym – they have different jobs. Squatting during a deadlift is a big no-no.
• Common Mistake: Dropping into a deep squat during a deadlift, with knees super bent and butt low.
• Fix It: Focus on hinging at your hips, not squatting. Keep those hips higher, and don’t let your knees overbend.

2. Previous Back Injury? Fear Not!

• The Fear Factor: Injury worries holding you back? It’s a common concern, but we’re here to conquer it.
• Common Mistake: Avoiding deadlifts due to fear of hurting your back or past injuries.
• Fix It: Train your brain and body with good movement patterns. Embrace the learning process, and gradually build your confidence.

3. Beware of Compensation Chaos!

• Compensation Conundrum: Sometimes, we unknowingly develop funky movements. Let’s unravel that mystery.
• Common Mistake: Compensating for weaknesses without even realizing it.
• Fix It: Be picky about how your muscles feel during the pull. Mind-to-muscle connection is your guiding light.

Remember, we’re just scratching the surface. As we journey through this course, we’ll unravel more secrets and fine-tune your deadlifting prowess. Stay tuned, and let’s rock those deadlifts with confidence and strength! 💪🚀
