:muscle:Deadlifts provide an excellent audit for stability and force modulation.
:question:The speaker is conflicted about the potential risk of injury associated with deadlifts.
:raised_hands:Consider other movements as alternatives to deadlifts to mitigate the risk of injury.
:weight_lifter:Grip strength and V02 Max are good indicators of overall fitness and longevity.
:thumbs_up:It's important to find a balance between staying active and avoiding unnecessary risks.
Why is grip strength considered a good predictor of longevity?
—Grip strength is a good biomarker because it represents overall strength and the integration of the work put in over time.
Should I continue deadlifting if I'm concerned about the risk of injury?
—Deadlifting can be valuable for stability and force modulation, but it's important to consider alternative movements to mitigate the risk of injury.
What are some alternative movements to deadlifts?
—Consider single-leg movements that don't involve high axial loading, such as lunges or step-ups.
What biomarkers are good predictors of longevity?
—In addition to grip strength, V02 Max is considered a good indicator of cardiovascular fitness and overall longevity.
How can I find a balance between staying active and avoiding unnecessary risks?
—Listen to your body and be aware of your limitations. If an exercise feels like it's pushing your limits, consider scaling back or exploring alternative movements.
