Hello, this is Fitvely Moon Seok-gi. This time, I'm going to clearly explain the deadlift method that you all asked about.

When do you do deadlifts? Do you do them during leg day or back day? I do both!

That's a very wise answer. You can include deadlifts in your back workout or leg workout, but that depends on your form.

So, once you understand the difference, you can structure your routine however you like. There are actually many types of deadlifts.

I'll show you two main variations. I'll start with the common lower-body-focused deadlift. It's called the conventional deadlift, which increases lower-body engagement.

The movement involves squeezing your glutes as you lift. As you can see, it varies depending on the angle. If the weight shifts forward, the load is placed here on the bar.

If it shifts back, the weight is distributed to your glutes and lower body.

That's why the center of gravity is important when working out. Back or lower body. Even with the same deadlift, the area you target will affect where you feel the stimulus.

There's no one correct way to do a deadlift. Just like what the model is doing right now, as your hip joint, known as the hinge, moves backward, it allows for a natural lift.

So, the weight you're holding, should feel like it's being lifted through your glutes as you move backward.

But the key point to watch out for here is the position of your feet.

Keep your feet not too wide or too narrow. They should at least be shoulder-width apart. Make sure your feet are flat on the ground, and as you lift, shift back.

This way, your lower back won’t be strained. However, if you're lifting with added weight, and your center of gravity isn’t shifted back
while your knees are too straight, then your lower back will take the brunt of the strain.

To avoid lower back pain, always lower the weight fully, then bend your legs first, keeping the bar close, almost grazing your shins.

Lift it back up, lower it down. Okay, good. Doing it this way will engage your lower body more, allowing you to work your glutes and thighs more effectively.

It’s good to include this in your lower body workout routine.

Unlike squats, where the center of gravity moves from top to bottom, you can contract your hamstrings and glutes more intensely.

With squats, when you reach peak contraction, the weight is above you, so squeezing too much can hurt your back.

But with deadlifts, since the weight is below you, you can squeeze more effectively. That’s why conventional deadlifts are better for lifting your hips, and they help increase the size of your glutes.

I highly recommend them to women. Now, the second point is, I’ll show you how to do deadlifts on back day—this one's a bit different.

Right now, your shoulder blades are slightly tucked in, but when using your lats, you need to slightly spread them.

That’s right. When you grip like this, it should feel firm. From this position, slowly bend your knees, That’s right, only until below your knees.

You don’t need to go down too much for this one, because if you go down too much, you'll end up like this and hurt your back.

Unlike the conventional style, because your knees are slightly straighter, tuck in your shoulder blades, press down, and then spread your lats.

That’s right, once it feels firm, extend down to your knees. That’s right! While lifting, press your shoulders down.

Exactly! So, if you keep the tension here, you won’t be able to arch even if you want to. Because in the lineup position, your lats are engaged.

To shift the weight of the bar onto your lats, you need to do it this way. If you do it this way, the weight shifts to your thighs.

You can see that at the moment you lift, the weight is perfectly aligned here. But if you shift backward like this, it goes off balance.

So, on lat day, you extend your hip joints a bit, tighten your hamstrings, and lean forward a bit more.

That’s right, up! Let’s do 5 reps. When you include this deadlift on your back day, unlike lat pulldowns or rows, you can pull and stretch the lats.

Retract the scapula and press down the shoulders. In a state where the lats are extended, like this, that’s right.

Even when you rise, you can see that everything is fully extended. If it folds here, it shifts to the erector spinae.

If you engage your lats well, you can do this without lower back pain. That’s right, and you can finish with a peak contraction here.

So, this is for back day. For leg day, extend it a bit more. Use your thighs and glutes more, going almost down.

Actually, if you have two basic forms, you can just modify them. Many people find deadlifts difficult. However, it's a movement that can be done more safely than squats.

If you focus on your latissimus dorsi and the movement of your scapula, if you do those well, you'll be able to do deadlifts well, too.
