deadlifting

[princessofdarkness]

hi guys, got a problem. having a hell of a time with my deadlift. i hurt my back resulting in a rib that won't stay in the socket so i'm scared to lift heavy. i've got a real good bench and squat (200lb. 400lb.) and that's without shirt or suit @135lbs. any suggestions to bring up my deadlift???

One of the best ways to increase your deadlift is to stop deadlifting. By that I mean that it is easy for you to burn out and actually regress in training by deadlifting too much.

The single best exercise I have found for the deadlift is Chain Suspended Good Mornings. You are starting from a static position with no eccentric....just like in a deadlift. You can vary foot positions and bars. The best combination I have found is to use the Safety Squat Bar with a close stance (conv. deadlift stance). There is alot of arguement as to how high to suspend the bar. I'm 6'3" and we suspend our at 36"...very effective exercise.

i don't understand suspending the bar, i do good mornings all the time but in the squat rack....sorry for my ignorance, i'm just a small town girl not used to these fancy exercises...

I didn't know ribs had a 'socket' ???

BTW. of course Hannibal is right about increasing your deadlift. I don't have chains though so I set my safety bar in my rack at the right height off the floor and lift from there.. You can do them with a wide stance, close stance, arched back, rounded back, or any combination there of.

your ribs fit into your sternum in small sockets, my one rib pops out pulling the muscle and tendons out of alignment, kinda feels like i'm having a heart attack!!!! not very nice at all.

Princess, try taking it easy and letting that rib heal, I pop one in the front and took it easy for 2-3 weeks and it was back to good, also had a few training partners do the same but worse where it bruised up big time just stick to your side work or anything that won't bother it. Remember aspirin and the like are your friends.

it just doesn't wanna heal.....this happened 2 months ago, and when i diet down it happens all the time....even ask them if they would remove it if you can imagine!!! too high up though. thanx for your help though, you are the only other person i've ever heard of it happening too.

POD...those are some sweet numbers you are throwing up! Keep up the good work!

I'm sorry that you are having so much trouble with your deadlift. I wish there was something I could tell you to do. The only thing I would recommend...is some stores have those ace bandage type things (or else they look more like a really thick back support), and if you take that and wrap it firmly around your thorax...that would probably be a huge help in keeping that rib in place. Do you know what kind of thing I'm talking about? I dont' know if I explained it too well or not.
