In the world of powerlifting, the three events of squats, bench presses, and deadlifts are like three powerful steeds, leading countless fitness enthusiasts and athletes to challenge themselves and pursue the limits of strength.

I. Squats

Squats mainly train the lower limb muscle groups, including the quadriceps on the front of the thighs, the hamstrings on the back of the thighs, and the gluteal muscles. It can not only enhance leg strength and improve the body's stability but also significantly improve the body's overall explosive power and athletic ability.

The standard squat movement requires that the feet be about shoulder-width apart, the toes slightly turned out, the back kept straight, slowly squat down until the thighs are parallel to the ground or slightly lower than the parallel position, and then stand up forcefully. When doing squat training, you can choose different weights and training methods according to your own situation, such as free-weight squats, machine squats, etc. For beginners, start with a lighter weight, gradually increase the load, and at the same time pay attention to the standardization and correctness of the movements to avoid getting injured.

II. Bench Presses

Bench presses are a classic movement for training the chest, shoulders, and arms. It mainly targets the pectoralis major, the anterior deltoid, and the triceps brachii, and can effectively increase the strength and muscle mass of the upper body.

When doing bench presses, lie flat on the bench press bench, hold the barbell or dumbbells with both hands, and the width should be slightly wider than the shoulder width. Take the barbell or dumbbell off the rack, slowly lower it to above the chest, and then push it up forcefully until the arms are straight. Similarly, during the training process, pay attention to choosing the appropriate weight, controlling the speed and amplitude of the movements, and avoiding getting injured due to excessive pursuit of weight. In addition, you can also adjust the grip width and angle to stimulate different muscle parts and improve the training effect.

III. Deadlifts

Deadlifts are a comprehensive movement that involves the coordinated work of multiple muscle groups throughout the body, including the legs, hips, back, and arms. Deadlifts are mainly divided into different types such as conventional deadlifts and sumo deadlifts, and each type has its own unique technical points and training effects.

Taking the conventional deadlats as an example, the feet are about shoulder-width apart, the hands hold the barbell, and the arms hang naturally. Keep the back straight, the hips pushed back, slowly lower the body so that the barbell is close to the calf, and then straighten the legs and hips forcefully to pull the barbell up until the body stands straight. Deadlifts require a relatively high level of core strength and coordination of the body. When training, pay special attention to maintaining the correct posture to avoid getting injured in the waist.

In conclusion, as the three core events of powerlifting, squats, bench presses, and deadlifts have extremely high training values. Whether for athletes who pursue strength growth or ordinary fitness enthusiasts who hope to improve their physical qualities, mastering the correct movements and training methods of these three events can achieve better results on the fitness journey. At the same time, when doing powerlifting training, be sure to pay attention to safety, reasonably arrange the training plan, and gradually improve your own ability level. 文章12.png
