What makes this exercise particularly effective?
The deadlift with a horn handle at the EISENHORN Power Station DS is a variation of the classic deadlift using handlebars. By positioning the sleds at knee height and gripping the horn ends firmly, the exercise can be performed in a particularly stable and controlled manner. The focus is on activating the leg and back muscles, with core stability being essential. Controlled execution reduces the risk of injury and allows for effective strengthening of the entire posterior chain.
What effect does the exercise achieve?
Targeted back muscles: The lower back is intensely activated, supported by the hamstrings and gluteal muscles.
Leg strengthening: Extending the legs strengthens the thigh muscles.
Core activation: Maintaining a stable posture requires strong core muscles to support the body.
Improved posture: The exercise promotes an upright body posture and strengthens the muscles along the spine.
Increased muscular endurance: Regular training improves endurance in the posterior chain.
How does this exercise fit into the Big 5 concept?
The Big 5 include the fundamental exercises: squat, deadlift, bench press, pull-up or lat pulldown, and shoulder press. Even though the deadlift with a horn handle is not part of the classical Big 5, it can be a valuable addition:
Functional pulling movement: Strengthens the posterior chain, which is crucial for traditional deadlifts and other pulling exercises.
Supports squats and bench press: Improved core stability and back strength enhance performance in other basic exercises.
Controlled training: The guided movement allows for safe progression and reduces the risk of injury.
Full-body integration: Promotes coordination and strength throughout the entire upper and lower body, making it a valuable component for balanced strength training.
