Cycling Deadlift

The deadlift, in powerlifting, is a test of raw strength. Here’s a breakdown of the techniques and rules

:

Powerlifting Deadlift Techniques:

  • Stance:
    • Conventional: Feet are typically hip-width apart.
    • Sumo: Feet are wider, with toes pointed outward.
    • The optimal stance varies depending on individual anatomy and leverages.
  • Grip:
    • Double overhand: Both palms facing the lifter.
    • Mixed grip: One palm facing the lifter, the other facing away. This is often used for heavier weights.
    • Hook grip: A specialized grip used by some lifters for maximum grip strength.
  • Setup:
    • The bar should be over the midfoot.
    • Shins close to the bar.
    • Back straight or slightly arched, avoiding rounding.
    • Shoulders slightly in front of the bar.
  • The Pull:
    • Drive through the heels, pushing the floor away.
    • Keep the bar close to the shins and thighs.
    • Extend the hips and knees simultaneously.
    • Maintain a straight back.
  • Lockout:
    • Stand tall with hips and knees fully extended.
    • Shoulders back, but avoid excessive leaning back.

Powerlifting Deadlift Rules:

  • Starting Position:
    • The bar must start on the floor.
  • Lifting:
    • The lift must be completed in a single, continuous motion.
    • Hitching (pausing and re-lifting the bar up the thighs) is not allowed.
  • Lockout:
    • The lifter must achieve a fully erect position with shoulders back, hips and knees locked.
  • Lowering:
    • The bar must be lowered back to the floor under control.
    • Dropping the bar is allowed, but the lifter must maintain control until lockout.
  • Equipment:
    • Rules regarding belts, straps, and other equipment vary between powerlifting federations.
    • Lifting straps are not allowed in raw powerlifting competitions, but are allowed in some equipped competitions.
  • Commands:
    • In some federations, the lifter must wait for a down command before lowering the bar.

Key Considerations:

  • Proper setup is essential for a safe and effective deadlift.
  • Maintaining a straight back is crucial to prevent injury.
  • Grip strength is a significant factor in deadlifting.
  • Variations in stance and grip can be used to optimize the lift for individual lifters.
  • As with the other powerlifting events, rules can have slight variations depending on the powerlifting federation hosting the event.
