@lana_pt1: What is your honest thought on the #deadlift? Let's look at WHY you should be doing this exercise. 1️⃣ Deadlifts build bone density Weight-bearing resistance like deadlifts stimulates bone growth, key for preventing osteoporosis as we age. (Research: Journal of Strength & Conditioning, 2018) 2️⃣ They improve posture and protect your spine. A proper hinge movement strengthens your posterior chain , glutes, hamstrings, back, supporting the spine and reducing lower-back pain long-term. (Clinical Biomechanics, 2020) 3️⃣ They boost metabolism and hormone health Compound lifts increase muscle mass and balance insulin, cortisol and oestrogen, all vital for women navigating perimenopause or aging well. (Journal of Applied Physiology, 2019) ⚠️ But deadlifts can cause injury if done wrong. The 3 most common injuries? ❌ Lower-back strain - happens when you round your back instead of hinging at the hips. ❌ Hamstring pull - from overextending or lifting too heavy too soon. ❌ Knee or hip pain - caused by poor bar path or uneven foot placement. ✅ How to nail your form ❗️Keep your feet hip-width apart. ❗️Grip the bar just outside your legs. ❗️Engage your lats (pull your shoulder blades down and back). ❗️Hinge at the hips, push the floor away, stand tall. Control the descent, don’t drop it. Want to learn how to lift heavy with confidence? 👉 Join my online classes or book in for 1-1 weightlifting PT sessions.
