I don’t get dead lift or something like that. Isn’t she lifting with her back instead of her legs?
This isn't dead lift, it's definitely alive lift.
Ugh. Upvote.
Different people have different hip hinge angles depending on their genetics/morphology. So some people can have a lot more upright back angle while some will almost look horizontal at start. So long as the spinal erector muscles are rigid, and there is minimal flexion of the spine during the lift, then the lifting force itself will be predominantly coming from the hamstrings not the spinal muscles. The back muscles will be worked, but working to remain rigid and not to move the weight itself.
My hip hinges are fucked. Is that the right term? Hip hinge... I always thought itbwas called my hip flexor.. I need some exercises to loosen my hips either way dammit.
lol literally yesterday this arrived in my inbox: https://gmb.io/hip-flexors/
Obviously I’m not paid by them and I’m not affiliated with them. I just like their stuff and they’re my main exercise
Why would it be obvious? Now I didn't know what to think. 🤔
Ah. You’re right. It’s not obvious.
You seem to care about truth, validity, and honesty.
I know trusting a stranger on the internet sounds absurd. But is it really impossible for someone to have had a coincidence in their day? Or for someone to really like something and share it?
Here’s what it ultimately comes down to: would you distrust me if I simply promised it's true? What if it’s a digital pinky promise? What if it’s a digital double-pinky promise? Heck, I didn't think it'd come down to this, but if you're down to take off one of your shoes we could have a digital triple-pinky promise. I'd offer a quadruple-pinky promise but that seems too decadent.
I'm about any of that shit but I'm opening the links and looking to get help and I agree. I've had a few coincidences on here in the past!
Thank you BTW!
Hip hinge angle is the angle at which you will have to bend over to grab the barbell. Depending on your skeleton morphology you could have a near horizontal back when grabbing the bar. On the other extreme you will sometimes see lifters with an almost straight upright back lifting. Most people are so where in between that angle though.
Your hip flexor is a muscle group connecting your torso to your upper leg skeleton. These help to either lift/flex your legs or torso depending on which is stationary. Deadlifts can work the hip flexors, but a better exercise would be something like leg raises, lunges, or even squats as those exercises would target more of the front leg muscles. Good luck!
She's not lifting yet, she's just positioning herself and getting a good grip. I usually do this bending down too, once I have a good grip, I get into a good lifting position.
Deadlifting is safe for your back.
Anecdotally even deadlifting with a curved back is safe.
I'm not actually sure why lifting with your back when moving houses and such is bad for you.
I hurt my back more squatting with bad mobility and form and never had problems deadlifting.
Spines are mobile in three axes: extension/flexion (front to back), rotation, and lateral flexion. (side to side) For a lot of people, deadlifts can involve some extension and flexion and remain safe so long as there's no rotation or lateral flexion. It's ideal if the flexion/extension stays consistent through the motion (even if it's not completely neutral)
That's why it's possible to safely deadlift 500lb then go home and throw out your back putting a 50lb box on a shelf at your side. It's possible to train yourself to lift from awkward spinal positions safely, but it requires starting at a lighter weight and progressing carefully. Gladiator deadlifts are a neat way of introducing flexion + rotation.
Deadlift mainly targets the glutes, the back is a secondary muscle for the movement
I don't lift but the back shouldn't be moving. That's what the lifting belt is for. While it does take a lot of core muscles to do this, i think it is mostly ass and leg muscles doing the movement.
Actually a deadlift with proper form heavily activates the lower back. That's pretty much what it's for, to strengthen your back. The whole posterior chain gets some activation, but the lower back gets the bulk of it.
