But there are always ways to reduce your risk for any serious injuries, by being smart about your training. The tips in this article are not only going to help you avoid back pain, but they will also help increase your strength, and you can apply them to your training right away! Tip #1: Incorporate The Deficit Deadlift Into Your Program The number one reason why, in my experience, people have lower back pain when they deadlift, is because they develop a really bad habit very early in their training program, which sees their hips shoot up first, and then they lift the barbell. Once this happens, it puts all of the load of the barbell onto the lower back. Many of you may be able to get into the proper starting position for a deadlift with your chest up fine, but because you have poor mind-muscle connection, you shoot up with your hips first before pulling the bar. After that, there is no option but for your lower back to take over the lift. When you do this with heavy weight, having that weight transfer from your legs to your lower back isn’t going to end well. So how do you fix this? That’s where the deficit deadlift comes into play. What I love about the deficit deadlift, and why it helps so much, is because if you are having a hard time focusing on engaging your lower body, the deficit deadlift forces you to get so low to grab the barbell, you have to instinctively activate more glutes and hamstrings to pick the barbell up off the ground. You’ll automatically feel more activation by just sitting in the bottom position, not to mention the engagement you will feel when you actually pull the bar off the ground. Incorporating the deficit deadlift into your routine is also very simple. All you have to do is swap it out week-to-week with your one of your regular deadlift days. If you’re deadlifting two to three times a week, try doing deficit deadlifts on one or two of those days instead. This exercise IS NOT meant to be a max effort exercise (not right away at least), so stick to around 4-5 sets of 8-10 reps for your deficit deadlifts. *NOTE: If you don’t have access to a platform which puts you further away from the barbell, simply use smaller plates (such as 25lb plates instead of 45lb plates) to simulate the same thing. Tip #2: Breathe In Through Your NOSE, NOT YOUR MOUTH Believe it or not, how you take in a breath before you start this exercise can make a huge difference to how much weight you’re able to lift, and how much internal pressure you have in your body. When you’re doing any lift in general, you should be breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. But some exercises where you really feel the difference, at least in my opinion, are squats and deadlifts. When doing a deadlift, you have to get super low in order to be in position to grab the barbell. If you take a huge breath in through your mouth before going down to grab the bar, all of that air will tend to sit in the bottom of your gut. As you’re trying to bend down and get as low as you can to the barbell, if you have a huge air bubble in the bottom of your gut, it’s not only going to make it hard to get into the proper position, but also if you are wearing a weightlifting belt, it can tend to feel like an excessive amount of pressure in that area. This could make you feel like you are going to pass out, especially if you’re going for a max lift. If you breathe in through your nose, instead of all that air coming in and sitting in your gut, it actually gets a bit more evenly distributed. You should feel your chest coming up when you take in that breath, then when you go down to perform your deadlift, you’ll notice you have a much easier time getting a bit lower and tighter to pull the barbell up off the ground. *CONTINUE READING HERE* https://muscularstrength.com/article/Three-Easy-Tips-Eliminate-Deadlift-Back-Pain-Lift-More-Weight Program Selector - Get The Right Program For You! - https://muscularstrength.com/Program-Selector ---------------------------------------- Subscribe To My Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottHermanFitness ---------------------------------------- 1 on 1 Online Coaching - http://muscularstrength.com/consultations ---------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD MY APP! – iPhone & Android! https://muscularstrength.com/phoneapp ---------------------------------------- MORE TIPS! - https://www.instagram.com/ScottHermanFitness
