The Deadlift




Deadlifts are another core eliment to building back, leg, and forearm strength as well as developing the skills necessary in maintaining a straight lower back against a load of weight. Scapula alignment and keeping your back straight is critical to avoid injuries when lifting heavy objects off of the floor. Once the lower back rounds, it increases the potential of spinal injuries. Above, Mike completes a body weight Deadlift. Way to go Mike!

  3. One small correction to evening posting. Irene did 169 for her last deadlift even though she would like to be able to do higher.
