Weightlifting for Rugby Fitness - The Deadlift

Deadlift tutorial as part of the Fitness Factory series designed to build fitness for rugby. The Deadlift builds strength in the hips and legs and most importantly the back for all pulling movements. Learning correct technique for the Deadlift is a very important foundation for the power development exercises such as the Clean. Brought to you by Rugby World Magazine.

for beginners, is it safe to do this without a belt?

[rugbyworld08]

@devilishcow999 Yes it is just start light and concentrate on keeping your back flat.

[rugbyworld08]

@Rugby10Nut yes it is fine but spend time learning the movement and do not go so heavy that your form breaks down as bad habits learnt now will take a very long time to undo later on

Squat Deadlift Benchpress.

ULTIMATE exersices for explosive power

[frootluips]

When you lower the weight, should you let it touch the ground or just above the ground (1cm for example) before the next rep?

your videos are outstanding i love them only complain i have is the intro needs better music lol.

[LibertyWaxlips]

@HellFuryOwnz Sorry but if you want explosive power you should rather di olympic weightlifting movements. Nothing wrong with squat, DL and bench, quite the contrary, they're great, but they're not movements you absolutely HAVE to do fast.

great video! i would keep my head looking more forward and my back a little more arched but that is just me.

[rugbyworld08]

@Rugby10Nut yes they are good for keeping your elbows healthy

[Rugby10Nut]

@rugbyworld08 also , is there any point in soing bicep exercises for rugby . thx .

[italianocoinstealer]

Nice video... One thing I would say is his arms seem to be slightly flexed which can cause bicep tares as the weight gets heavier... I suggest making sure the arms are locked to stop this happing

[rugbyworld08]

@Rugby10Nut yes these will be much more beneficial. Learn to squat, deadlift, overhead press, clean and snatch as these will be very useful for you as you develop
