OT Gym Rats: Help with Deadlift Form
Posted on 9/27/14 at 4:32 pm
Posted on 9/27/14 at 4:32 pm
Alright guys, my gym has a small area designated for deadlifts where I can find this bar:
On google search, it's called a "Super Deadlift Bar". I can't find any youtube videos showing me proper form for how to use this thing. I can find tons of videos showing me proper form for using a hex bar for deadlifts, but none for these. I just got back into the gym 3 months ago, and really want to start incorporating the deadlift into my regimen. I can bypass this and just take a normal bar from the squat rack and use that, but just wanted to check with some people first.
Also, the positioning of my hands using this "super" bar seems weird. I've never performed deadlifts without either a pronated or mixed grip.
Anyone have some advice? Anyone use this bar?

I have never seen that kind of bar.

stand in between the handles, grab the handles, lift. It's supposed to promote a neutral spine position. I've never used it, so I can't say how well it works, but that's the technique.
ETA: Think of it the same way as doing dumbbell DL's.

That is basically the same thing as a hex bar. Watch hexbar videos on youtube and mimic that.

As some said, that's just a new age hex bar.
Use a normal barbell for dead lifts if you want the full body effects. Hex lifts are almost entirely lower body if done correctly.
A true deadlift will work your upper body exponentially more.

With your hands in that position it help keeps the bar close to your shins for a straight up and down path. I've tried these out and I don't really like having my hands by my side and also on the one in my gym the good rotate which I also don't like. so I use a regular bar. I use these bars for shrugs sometimes.

I've started rotating deadlifts into my routine and can feel it from my upper back all the way down to my legs.

Follow-up question...what muscles are isolated with stiff legged lift vs standard? Basically, what is the difference? Not form, but difference in targeting muscle groups.

Hamstrings much more isolated with stiff legged.

Pretty sure I fricked up a few disks in my back from dead lifting a couple months ago. Lower back hasn't been the same since.

First off I wouldn't recommend pulling with it. Start with the barbell relearning your technique again.

This. Or start with dumbbells.
