ANTHROPOMETRIC, ANATOMICAL AND BIOMECHANICAL DIFFERENCES OF ATHLETES IN DEADLIFT. (STRUCTURE OF THE HIP JOINTS).

We have decided on the center of gravity, now we will try to combine it with the anatomy. If the GCGB is low, the hip neck is long and has a retroversion, then this person is definitely prescribed a sumo traction style and it will definitely be more effective than the classic style, even regardless of the anthropometric aspects that we will discuss further. If we have a long hip neck and anteversion at a low GCGB, then the sumo style is also quite suitable, except that with a more parallel setting of the feet and, accordingly, with a smaller turn of the knees. If we have a short hip neck and retroversion, then with a low GCGB, semi-sumo is suitable here, i.e. with an average width of the legs and a sufficient turn of the feet and knees. In the classics, such an athlete will also be quite comfortable to pull. If a short neck and anteversion, then regardless of the position of the GCGB, a person can anatomically pull only in the classic, because he can not spread his legs wide and expand his knees, too (working on the flexibility and elasticity of muscles and ligaments in this case works like a plantain attached to a wound). But in the latter case, the result will be positively affected, again, by a low center of gravity. As you can understand from my judgments, in any situation of anatomy and anthropometry, a low GCGB is always a certain gain, because it gives more space for choosing a style and technique. Now let's discuss what to do with a high GCGB. If you have a long neck and a retroversion, then you can easily level the high GCGB with the sumo style, bringing the pelvis as close as possible to the bar at the start. Less effective, but still solves the sumo style problem with a high GCGB with a long hip neck and anteversion, because it is not possible to bring the pelvis close enough to the bar, but at least you can put your legs in a solid gnarled. In the case of a short neck and retroversion, the problem of high GCGB is solved by the maximum turn of the knees. Well, obviously, with a short neck and ateversion, the problem of a high center of gravity is not solved and, alas, you are not lucky – as we found out, such an athlete can only pull in the classics, and even a high GCGB will constantly create a problem with tipping forward.
