deadlifts

tt_rocker Posts: 389 Joined: 2001/01/25	2002/03/08, 09:07 AM I try to do them right but it seems that i'm not doing such a good job at it yet. some guys come up 2 me and are like what the fu** are you doing man.. you'll injure your back right that.. the problem is that everybody has his own theory when it comes 2 deadlifts and some have suggested forgetting about it all together... they say doing hyperextensions is a better solution to avoid back problems later on. Others believe wearing a belt is no good not just 4 this 1 but 4 all exercises... I can talk forever bout this but I think I'll just leave it 2 that. rocker ---------------------------- keep rockin'

There is only one way to do them correctly.. plain and simple. The description on ft is good. -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

With a long history of lower back problems I have to do several warm up sets with very low weight to get focused on the form before loading up. The deadlift is one of the easiest ways to mess up the lower back if done incorrectly. -------------- "Without the will, there's no way" Stan
