Lower back pain when you deadlift ?
We worked on Katya's form in deadlift. I found that she loaded her back, she is not the only one, many others do the same.
This is not the perfect peform but she has improved immensely and we more hard work she will get so strong. Form is an on going battle for everyone.
The Lift Checklist
⭕️ Push the floor away rather than pulling the bar, focus on aggressively pushing your feet into the floor to initiate the lift, this should be through your glutes and quads.
⭕️ Maintain Tension:
Keep your arms straight and avoid trying to lift the weight with them, think of them as hooks.
⭕️ Keep the Bar Close:
Drive the bar up your legs, ensuring it stays in contact with your body throughout the movement.
hips and knees extend together. Don't lift your hips first, otherwise you will lift with your back.
⭕️ Achieve Lockout:
As you stand, your hips and knees should extend simultaneously.
⭕️ At the top, stand upright by bringing your hips forward, ensuring they and your knees are fully extended and locked. Avoid excessive leaning back.
