DEADLIFT DAY

This weekend I went back home and worked out at my fathers facility. My workout consisted of deadlifts and deadlifts only. I hadn't deadlifted in so long because unfortunately the HUB gym here on campus bans deadlifting due to their not being any padding under the floor. Which sucks for me because personally my favorite lift is the good ol' fashioned deadlift. So being able to finally do some deadlifts felt great. It's my favorite lift but it's also one of the most dangerous if improper form is used. If you go too heavy and throw your form out the window some serious injuries can occur, most commonly to the lower back. Here's the best tutorial I could find given by a legendary powerlifter, bodybuilder and health scientists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5eGGZXb0Is it's a fifteen minute video that gives a rundown on everything from what equipment to wear to the proper form. It's a very informative video and I highly recommend watching it if you're afraid of injuring yourself on a heavy deadlift. It also covers something I wanted to cover, the great Sumo deadlift vs. Conventional Deadlift debate. He covers each and the differences in both. I love both deadlifting variations but I can deadlift much heaver with a sumo stance. The video below is of me deadlifting 275 as a warm up for 3 reps. I use the conventional style in this video.
