Deadlifting sounds intimidating at first – but don’t worry it really isn’t! You’ve probably come across muscular men lifting loaded barbells with ease, but this comes with time and conditioning. All these professionals took their sweet time to perfect their style. With some time, patience, and determination you’ll be able to deadlift in a few weeks.
Consistency is Key
If benches and squats are part of your gym routine, keep them up, but only deadlift for a maximum of two times a week. The body also needs time to recuperate after strenuous exercises. If you don’t bench or squat, deadlift at least 3 times a week for maximum results.
Grow Those Muscles
Fact: If you deadlift a higher weight than your regular weight for the first time – the succeeding reps will be much easier. If you’re feeling confident you may try this out. If not then ask your gym trainer or a professional in the gym how much weight you need for your body proportion.
Strengthen Your Core
Deadlifts are great not just for strengthening your arms but they also help with core strength. You’ll be working the shoulder muscles and everything that connects to it. Deadlifting helps promote stability, balance, and core strength. It’s also really important to lift when you’re older to make sure your muscles stay strong throughout your life.
