Fitness ScienceWhy Do Your Hands Only Need to Hold the Barbell Rod During Deadlift Training?
Hook, Hello everyone, today I'm going to share some knowledge about deadlift training.
Before this article, I have already shared a lot of little knowledge about deadlift training, if you are interested, welcome to return to my home page to see.
Deadlift training, I believe everyone is no stranger to it. According to a lot of data, it was the most popular action in 2019. Deadlift training is a compound movement, which involves multiple joints, and it can greatly help develop lower limb strength and core ability.
Today I received a private message from a fan,
Ask: Teacher, when I'm doing deadlift training, I don't know how to hold the bar, I feel uncomfortable no matter how, do you have any suggestions?
I believe many friends will have similar problems. Today I'm going to share about the grip technique.
Why do our hands only need to hold the barbell rod when doing deadlift training?
According to the relevant data statistics, the most common upper limb injury that occurs in deadlift training is biceps muscle strain and tear, but these injuries can be avoided by adjusting the grip.
No matter what, I see many people actively using arm strength to lock the barbell rod when doing deadlift training, and some of them even use their arm strength to dominate the deadlift movement. This phenomenon is most common in female trainers.
If you are a fitness veteran, although this may not be a problem for you, you must realize that under very heavy loads, actively contracting your biceps muscle is the cause of biceps muscle strain and tear, and this is related to your deadlift action and grip.
There are two types of deadlift grips:
First: hand-to-hand grip
- Second: reverse grip
- I believe no one uses hand-to-hand reverse grip, right?
- Most people's mistake is to deaden their arms and tightly grip the barbell rod, and try to lift it up with their arm strength. This won't help you.
My suggestion is:
Our hands just 'hold' the barbell rod, not deaden it. At this time, our hands are like a 'hook' to grab it, without actually using arm muscle strength (the forearm maintains tension through grip strength)If I'm not explaining clearly enough, you can imagine your arms like a rope that can resist tension, or imagine your hands are firmly tied to the rod and not leaving the rod's hook. Just like that,
When doing deadlift training, don't bend them, and don't actively use them. Just try to grab the barbell rod with all your might, don't do any extra arm movements, but use your lower body and legs to drive the weight up.In fact, once you understand this 'rule', you've firmly grasped the grip technique, and you've put your back in a neutral position. You just need to use your legs and hips to pull the weight.If you are a fitness enthusiast who frequently uses arm driving to do deadlift training, try it out, and you will feel a big difference, besides making the action safer, you can also better improve your strength conversion.
