✅ Deadlifts are a great compound exercise, used to strengthen the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your back and lower body.
✅ They are among the best exercise for training your hip extensors which include your gluteus maximus and hamstring complex.
✅ Deadlifts are also great in helping strengthen the muscles that stabilise your spine, including the external oblique, rectus abdominis and erector spinae.
🚨 However, too often, we see people presenting with lower back pain from deadlifting.
⁉️ Deadlifting technique
➡️ Technique and position play a very important role in reducing injury rates and increasing performance.
➡️ Fatigue may also play a role in increased risk of injury when deadlifting.
➡️ Studies have shown a close association between fatigue and injury rates where higher levels of fatigue affect lifting technique and therefore increasing risk of injury.
✅ A simple fix for this is performing the more demanding exercises, such as a deadlift immediately following your warmup or in the early stages of your workout.
