\"\u274c\"\u00a0\u2018I hurt my back deadlifting\u2019

\"\u274c\"\u2018I don\u2019t want to deadlift, I\u2019ll hurt my back\u2019

\"\ud83c\udfcb\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\"\u00a0The deadlift is one of the most powerful compound exercises when executed correctly. It engages multiple muscles of the upper\/lower body and anterior\/posterior chain. This makes the Deadlift one of the best way to build overall body strength

\"\ud83d\udc76\"\u00a0The Deadlift is quite a functional exercise and can be translated to everyday tasks such as lifting up children and other objects

\"\ud83e\uddb5\ud83c\udffb\"\u00a0The Deadlift requires deep control and stabilisation of the abdominal, gluteal, pelvic and lumbar spine musculature. Studies show that because of this, deadlifts can be beneficial in the prevention and reduction of low back pain

\"\u2705\"\u00a0Deadlift injuries are due to improper technique and too much weight lifted, NOT because of the exercise itself. It is important to build up to a barbell Deadlift through other progressive exercises. This will help perfect the technique and prevent injury

Here are a couple of progressive Deadlift exercises you can perform to help perfect your technique<\/strong>

\"1\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0Hip Hinge with Dowel
\"2\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0Raised Kettlebell Deadlift
\"3\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0Normal Kettlebell Deadlift
\"4\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0Barbell Deadlift
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\u26a0\ufe0f\"\u00a0Remember to consult a healthcare professional before commencing these exercises\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
