Dr. Andy Galpin explains how injuries in deadlifting stem from bad starting or ending positions during lifting and suggests focusing on hydration and cognitive work output to prevent pain. He also introduces the Galpin equation as an effective, straightforward solution for a range of issues.
In this episode, the hosts discuss the causes of pain in deadlifting and other exercises, emphasizing the importance of proper form and muscular endurance. They suggest that simple exercises like wall sits and planks can help prepare the system for more intense work and prevent stress from being absorbed by parts of the body that can't handle it.
The Galpin equation presents a straightforward solution to hydration, which is often neglected when it comes to physical and cognitive work output. There are common training misconceptions, but a few items such as sleep and caffeine can support different kinds of training.
