In exercise, the deadlift is an action that is often practiced by many people, and the deadlift is also one of the most classic exercises. Of course, the exercise effect of the deadlift is also very good, and the deadlift is also There are many types, such as Romanian deadlift, single-leg deadlift, etc. So where do you train the Romanian deadlift?
1. Exercise hamstrings and quadriceps
The agonist muscles of any deadlift are in the legs. Because the legs are the engine of the deadlift. The traditional deadlift, that is, the bent-leg deadlift, uses the hamstrings and quadriceps to exert force on the legs. However, in the Romanian deadlift, the quadriceps force is greatly reduced, and the hamstrings are mainly used. Therefore, the Romanian deadlift can better train the hamstring muscles of the legs.
2. Exercise back muscles
No matter what kind of deadlift, the part that is exercised must be the back. The back, especially the erector spinae muscles of the lower back, is one of the two most important parts of the deadlift. Although the back muscles are not the agonist muscles of the deadlift, they play a role in maintaining core stability and conducting force transmission during the deadlift. Their force production is no less than that of the agonist muscles. Therefore, the back muscles are the most important part of the Romanian deadlift.
3. Exercise gluteus maximus and other related muscles
The gluteus maximus is the synergist muscle with the Romanian deadlift. It cooperates with the leg muscles in the deadlift to help the strapped force be exerted. The gluteus maximus will be fully exerted to maintain maximum tension and contraction. Therefore, the buttocks are also the most important part of the deadlift besides the back and legs.
4. Exercise arm muscles
If you want to pull a heavy object, your arm muscles must be involved. During the Romanian deadlift, the arm muscles are always contracted to maintain force. Therefore, the arms are an indispensable part of the Romanian deadlift workout.
5. Exercise hand muscles
No matter what the deadlift is, you must rely on grasping the weight to pull it up. Among these,The grip strength provided by the hand muscles plays a very important role. If the grip strength is insufficient and the barbell cannot be grasped, then it will be useless no matter how strong the other parts are. The requirement for hand strength also exercises the hand muscles.
6. Exercise abdominal core muscles
During the deadlift, to maintain the stability of the core and conduct force transmission, not only the back is required to exert force, but the core muscles such as the abdomen are also required to remain tight to help maintain the rigidity of the upper body. Therefore, the abdominal core muscles will also be well exercised during deadlifts.
7. Exercise shoulders and trapezius muscles
During the deadlift process, the shoulder deltoid and trapezius muscles are also involved and stimulated to a certain extent. Therefore, insisting on deadlift training can also allow trainers to have broad and strong shoulders and well-developed trapezius muscles.
