powerlifting
Even if you are not very deeply rooted in the strength sports scene , you have almost certainly heard of the term powerlifting. But what exactly is powerlifting and what are the advantages for the average strength athlete? This sport, which requires strength, technique and endurance, has experienced a remarkable upswing in recent years. In this article, we will take a closer look at powerlifting , go through various exercises and look at how you can best develop in this sport.What does powerlifting mean?
Powerlifting is a strength sport in which athletes try to develop their maximum strength in three main exercises - squats , bench presses and deadlifts . Unlike bodybuilding , which is about building aesthetically pleasing muscles and the maximum amount of muscle, powerlifting focuses on increasing absolute strength. In addition to discipline, mental strength and the dedication to doing your best are particularly important in powerlifting. It is a sport that requires not only physical strength but also mental strength, discipline and dedication.The training plan in powerlifting
Basically, powerlifters do strength training just like everyone else in the gym . They do the classic exercises. However, powerlifters make sure to improve or increase their core skills and the most important exercises as a powerlifter. The three classic exercises in powerlifting are listed below and explained in terms of how to do them. The king exercise: squats Squats are undoubtedly one of the most important exercises in powerlifting. They mainly target the leg muscles, lower back and core. Technique is crucial to avoid injury and achieve maximum performance. Here are some key aspects to pay attention to:- Posture : Start with a stable stance, your feet should be shoulder-width apart. Your back must be straight and your gaze directed forward. Posture is a basic requirement for the correct execution of a squat.
- Depth : Squat deep enough so that your thighs are parallel to the floor or deeper. This ensures that the muscles are fully activated. Sufficient mobility is required. If you can't go down that far, train your flexibility regularly.
- Breathing : Hold your breath during the downward movement and only breathe out at the top. Breathing is extremely important in order not to tense up
- Stability : Using a powerlifting belt can help improve core stability.
- Position on the bench : Lie flat on the bench with your feet firmly on the floor. Your eyes should be under the bar to ensure the correct angle.
- Grip : The grip should be slightly wider than shoulder width. A narrow grip activates the triceps more, while a wider grip targets the chest muscles more.
- Lowering the bar : Lower the bar to your chest in a controlled manner by bending your elbows slightly. The bar should touch your chest or hover just above it. Be sure to control the weight and not just let it fall. Controlled lowering also promotes muscle growth.
- Press the bar out : Press the bar upwards evenly and in a controlled manner. Avoid overextending your elbows. You should exhale during this phase of the movement. Avoid forced breathing.
- Grip : There are several different grip variations for deadlifts, including conventional and sumo grips. Choose the grip that fits your anatomy and feels best to you.
- Posture : Start with a straight back and a slight arch. The hips should be pushed back while the knees are bent.
- Lift the load : Use the strength of your legs and hips to pull the bar up. Keep the bar close to your body to minimize strain on your lower back.
- The finish : Stand up completely by extending your hips and knees at the same time.
General Tips for Powerlifting Training
- Progressive overload : Increase the weight continuously to make progress. This is the key to building muscle and increasing strength. In addition to the weight, the volume or intensity can also be increased
- Proper nutrition : Make sure you eat a balanced diet that meets your energy needs and contains enough protein to support muscle recovery.
- Recovery : Give your body enough time to recover. Sleep and rest are crucial for optimizing performance.
- Technique : Invest time in improving your technique. Correct form is not only safer, but also enables better performance. In the long term, the key to success is continuity in training.
- Mental Strength : Powerlifting requires mental strength and concentration. Visualize your successes and stay focused.
