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

By Ricardo d Argence

Are you ready to build your muscles? Do you want to get ripped? Do you want a body that commands attention and respect, regardless of where you are? That is your goal, is it not?

Today I'm going to talk to you about one single exercise that will help you to achieve that powerful body quicker than you ever thought possible. All you need is a good old-fashioned barbell and a flat surface.

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 your goal is to gain as much muscle mass as possible, in the shortest time possible, the the deadlift is definitely the way to go.

This is a very powerful exercise; as a matter of fact it can actually work the entire body in just one movement. The motion that you make can stretch every muscle in the body at once.

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 actually a few ways that you can do the deadlift, but that's another story for another day. Let's go over the basic type, which is a the bent-leg deadlift. This is the standard way of doing it, and we'll go over it right now.

What you want to do is ensure your feet are wide apart, which is to say shoulder width. When you are sur4e you have it, grip the bar with your hands, and put your hands outside your legs. Most people use an overhand grip, but if you want you can have one palm facing in and one out.

Now it's time to start your workout, so make sure that you are squatting. Keep the bar close to your shins, and keep your back flat. Stare straight ahead and push upward with your legs.

When you've done it, it's time to start lifting. Pull up on your weight until you're standing up fully. After that, lower that weight just like it was picked up.

Rest the plates on the ground briefly, regroup, take a deep breath and pull the weight back up again. Continue the lift until your legs reach muscular failure or until your form starts to slip.

Maintaining proper form is of high importance when performing deadlifts. You should be able to handle a reasonable amount of weight here, and this increases your chance of injury.

Keeping your back straight is another important part of deadlifting. When you do lift, make sure that your weight stays close to your body. You also want your abs to be tight, that way you don't end up stressing your lower back any more than it needs to be.

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.

I recommend performing deadlifts once a week for 1-2 all-out sets. How many reps should you perform for each set? Well, deadlifts are such an incredibly effective exercise that they'll work no matter what rep range you use. My suggestion is to stay in the range of 5-7, but some people go as high as 20.

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. - 17274
