Rant 005: Being Fat Joe when Deadlifting
Reader: Who is Fat Joe and what is the relation to him and Deadlifts?
Me: This
The Lean Back = Hitching During Deadlifts
I am not the first to make this joke but it is suitable seg - way into how to encourage better
deadlifting. See Takeaway points at the end of this article.
deadlifting. See Takeaway points at the end of this article.
What is Hitching in Deadlift and What is the worst that could Happen
Example 1: Not sure whats worse the deadlift or the tape holding together his ego
If that doesn't encourage you to do better deadlifts I am not sure what will
*Disclaimer*
If you train for strongman then that is different as you train a slight hitch to help get the weight up
and is controlled. Hitching in commercial gyms with no real form or understanding is
what causes injures.
Takeaway Points
- Do not Hitch unless you are training for strongman as that is a movement encouraged in their sport.
- Those who hitch who do not compete in strongman will run the risk of injury and a heavily bruised ego
- Want to deadlift better? Read the following post!
