Deadlift- problems with stabilisation and depth of movement.
Three most important exercises in my workout plan are deadlift, squat and bench press. While my break and disease made forced me to lift lesser weights it was especially visible in deadlift. Even with 30-40 percent of usual lift I was wobbling and couldn't keep right position for long. The lower the barbell was the worse it was. It was caused by two big factors:
Bad stabilisation(weak core) - to fix it I have core workout as training. Few exercises that I think do great job are: farmer's walk, plank, ab roll( but I'm currently to weak for that one). I also like to throw in there hanging leg raises, cable crunches and something for obliques. Last 3 are not greatest for core strength but are nice for estetics.
Bad depth of movement - I'm not sure if that's the correct term so to clarify what I mean by that - due to not doing deadlifts for few months my body isn't used to movement, the deeper I go the worse it is. To fix that i started doing rack pulls instead of original deadlift and I'm gradually lowering the rack. Once I'm comfortable with movement again I'll start doing regular deadlifts again. Important note - rack pulls and deadlift shouldn't be treated as exchengable ecercises, because rack pulls eliminate most of work that legs do during motion.
That's how I decide to work with those issues. I talked about that with local coach and he agreed that it's sensible. So if someone faces similar problems, feel free to try this method.
