Best Personal Trainers in Hendersonville, TN

When properly executed, the deadlift can be extremely beneficial in preventing back injury by increasing your strength and core stability through proper resistance, execution, and range of motion. Knowing the correct lifting technique for the deadlift is essential for preventing injury to your back, and proper form is also going to be slightly different for every individual, but our Performance coaches have a couple of standard tips for you to keep in mind: ✅ Keep your feet shoulder width apart or slightly wider with your heels driving down. ✅ Hold the bar with a comfortable grip, keeping your hands shoulder width apart and using the outside of your legs as a guide. ✅ Bend your knees, keeping them in the middle of your feet to center your hips so that your back stays straight and prevents your spine from rounding out. ✅ Stand up straight without leaning, extending both the hips and knees simultaneously, and drive your heels down to the floor in one fluid motion. ✅ When you lower the bar back down, shift the weight back through your glutes and hips and bend your knees as you set the bar on the floor. It's important to protect your body when it comes to form. Make sure you aren't overdoing it by taking on too much weight until your body is comfortable with the movement!
