Deadlift for Overall Strength & Conditioning


Deadlift for Overall Strength & Conditioning

by Adam Davila, CPT

The Deadlift is by far one of the single most effective weight training exercises ever invented. The Deadlift has developed a bad reputation in some circles. Traditional gym mythology often badmouths the Deadlift because of it's supposed danger. All exercises can be potentially dangerous in the wrong hands. In capable hands the Deadlift can produce spectacular results and in my humble opinion only one other exercise is as effective, but that's another story. So what's the big deal about the Deadlift, Deadlift is a simple functional exercise of lifting something off the floor. That is why I personally like this exercise so much, we do it all the time, we pick things off the floor to move them from point A to B. Maybe you've had to move a heavy box or a piece of furniture. It is true that although this is a very simple exercise it does require some coaching from an experienced coach. Beginners with limited body awareness should beware.

How to perform the Deadlift

Volumes have been written describing the Deadlift and it's variations, so it's is important to get coaching first before trying to attempt this exercise. It is also important to note that people come in different shapes and sizes and technique will vary from person to person depending on lever length, skill, body awareness, desire etc.

Simply approach the middle of the bar, place feet underneath the bar at approximately hips width...feet may angle outward slightly. Cantilever forward at the waist until the shoulders are aligned over the bar, the spine should be straight with little or no tucking of the tailbone. The best case scenario is the spine maintains it's natural curves, the head is in alignment with the spine. The knees bend enough so that the hands can be placed on the bar shoulder wide, the grip can vary but one common way is one hand over and one hand under. To raise the weight off the floor inhale and then press the floor away, use the legs to extend the hips, the back and arms stabilize and straighten while the legs literally push away. On the descent begin to exhale and cantilever at the waist, bend the knees and ankles and lower the weight in a controlled manner.

You Can Do It The Easy Way or The Hard Way


You Can Do It The Easy Way or The Hard Way

Okay here's the deal. I've been in the trenches so to speak for twenty years, I've trained some 25,000 personal and group training sessions. I've done fitness every way there is to be done. I've put in 12-16 hour days, everyday, week after week, moth after month and year after year. In that time I've learned some very valuable lessons and have gained some hard earned wisdom. I can tell you with 100% accuracy that you don't have to struggle to lose the weight. YOU CAN STOP NOW!

You have two choices when come to losing weight, you can do it the hard way or you can do it the easy way. Let me ask you a question, "how is the hard way working for you?" I teach people every single day simple techniques to knock off the weight. In most cases people are astonished at how easy it really is. The first reaction is almost always disbelief. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PHYSICALLY ABUSE YOURSELF TO KNOCK OFF THE WEIGHT. In our American society we believe that hard work pays off, it's true when it comes to somethings, but not weight loss.

If you follow my very simple guidelines you will drop the weight. These techniques are so simple anyone can do them. I have to admit that some of my clients overlook the simplicity of the guidelines and they fail, why... because the thought it had to be hard. My clients who follow these simple rules report spectacular results in as little as one-two weeks.

Here's what I routinely see. A middle age person comes in and needs to lose some weight. They have not exercised in 25 years, they are 50-60lbs over weight. They want to get in shape, tone up and lose some weight. They hire me because they want to lose it fast and they want to be trained hard because that's what they think will get it off the fastest. The person usually forks over the dough and we get to work. I show them the easy way and they are confused because it doesn't seem hard enough. But what they don't realize is that they are so out of shape, if I were to increase the difficulty level they would most likely get hurt or maybe just drop out. SO after some convincing they follow the rules and within a week or two they are down 5-10 lbs. Usually I make believers out of them and then again sometimes they just don't get it...

It's up to you, do you want to do it the easy way or the hard way.

Special offer: Get 5 FREE Training Sessions with purchase of 30 Sessions or more, call 512 762-9548 for details.

Special Note: This offer is only valid for new weight loss clients. This offer does not apply to any other program offered.
