Bodybuilding Workouts & Tips, How Deadlifts Can Help You To Build Muscles

By Ricardo d Argence

So let's get it straight, your goal is to build your muscles up and get ripped right? You want a nice solid body that everyone will look at no matter where you go. That is the goal you've set, right?

You'll be glad to know that this can be done, and it can be done quickly. So we're going to talk about an exercise that will more than likely take you where you want to go, and generally quicker than you thought possible. We don't need anything fancy to do this, in fact you can just use a basic weight barbell and somewhere flat to put it.

What you're going to want to do is make sure that the bar you choose has as much weight as it possibly can. Once you have done this, pick it up and keep your back perfectly straight. This might sound simple, but it is the best upper body exercise you can do, and it is called the deadlift.

If you're looking to pile as much lean muscle mass onto your frame as humanly possibly in the shortest period of time, the deadlift is your best friend in the entire world.

The deadlift will work you from finger to neck to toe. It is a raw, basic power movement and will literally stress every single muscle in your entire body to some degree.

Mostly you are working out the upper and lower back, and your thighs. The deadlift however, has it's effect on the entire body. It won't take you long to notice this and start believing that it is true. When you start doing it regularly, your body will feel as if it is undergoing a complete workout.

There are a couple of different ways to do the deadlift, however that is outside the scope of this article. We are going to take a look at the standard bent-legged type. So let's have a look at the proper way to do it shall we?

Make sure that you feet are apart, and that they are the width of your shoulders. Once this is done grab the bar of the weight with your hands, but make sure that your hands are right outside of your legs. There are two ways you can do this, you can have an overhand grip, or you can grip it with one palm inward, and one facing outward. This is totally up to you

Start the movement in a squatted position with the bar close to your shins. With your back flat, abs tight and head looking up, lift the weight off of the ground by driving upward with your legs.

Pull the weight up until you are in a standing position. Now lower the weight back down by following the same path as when you lifted it.

You will want to rest those weights on the ground as you get ready for another repetition. Take a deep breath and begin again. Keep going until you can go no more.

Ensuring that you keep a good form is a huge part of doing good deadlifts. Make sure that you are able to lift lots of weight, but you also want to make sure that you're not hurting yourself when you do it!

The most important thing to remember is to keep your back flat at all times and to keep the weight close to your body. Keep your abs tight as well as this will minimize the stress on your lower back.

Do this repeatedly, that way you get it down to a science. When you're ready, you can start adding more weight. If you want to keep your grip from faltering too quickly, you can try using lifting straps in your deadlifts.

You should try to do this about once a week, however the amount of repetitions that you do is totally up to you. Deadlifts are effective, and regardless of how many repetitions you actually do they're going to help you and give your body the workout it needs. You can do five to seven, though there are people who do up to twenty repetitions at a time.

Mess around with it, and see which system is best. Make sure that you do this respectfully, and be ready for a life changing experience. - 17273
