ok so learning the correct movement for the squat will help my deadlift my using the hips properly? And the hip problem is affecting my lower back.
Im going to put off powerlifting for a while, get my body right before doing powerlifting.
edit - you guys are talking about not being able to squat normally shouldn't be doing weighted squats. But im talking about the deadlift? Or is there a correlation between the two, if i can do a good squat, i can do a good deadlift?
Athought they are different exercises as whole. The squat and deadlift work the same muscles regardless. So the more u are able to squat this will increase how much u deadlift as well to a certain degree and yes both use hips.
Squats on the upward drive and to start the exercise (or hip break) and
deadlifts at the second phase of the exercise to pull the bar back up to lockout
The below are the muscles groups used in BOTH exercises.
The lower part of the posterior chain such as -
Glutes
Hamstrings
Lowerback
erector spinae
I had the same problem with lower back pain roughly 3 months ago... I re-learned how to squat, changed my deadlift stance, I get the missus to stretch my legs out whenever possible and I bought myself a "the stick" to self massage my legs and back.
My back is now solid as and I'm squatting and deadlifting with no strain on my lower back at all and I've also smashed my previous PB's.
