Jake Shannon - Do you like lifting dumbbells? Well you may very well stop after you read this (unless you are in the bad habit calling your friends and workout partners "dumbbells"). I want to share a method of strength training that is somewhat common in wrestling rooms but is not otherwise commonly known elsewhere.
Inspired by Brandon Ruiz, I thought that Buddy Lifts need some attention. The only equipment you really need is a friend. Preferably a friend that roughly weighs the same as you (or less if you happen to be a beginner to strength training). Even if you're a seasoned weight lifter, still start with someone that is approximately the same weight as you. Regardless if you can dead-lift or back-squat twice your body weight, you will want to start with a lighter weight since it is a "live" weight, which can be awkward.
Live weight actively recruits compensatory and stabilization muscles in a way that "dead" weight does not. It is these oft under-used stabilizers that you will want to be careful with so as to avoid injury until you are familiar with lifting with a live weight. There is much here that an experienced weight lifter will find familiar but lifting with a live weight must be felt to be truly understood.
Regarding safety, please follow these basic guidelines when lifting "live" weight:
- Take care of your partner! They trust you and they should have every reason to do so. It's simple; if you can't carry their weight, then don't lift them.
- Use proper form. If you have any question about how to perform the lift, ask a qualified coach first!
- Put some "oomph" into it. Once you are confident that you have proper form and you can protect your partner, lift ballistically. This means, lift as explosively and powerfully as you safely can.
- Never, ever use children or animals for your buddy lifts. Even if they have soiled your favorite pair of shoes or ruined an expensive piece of furniture, they are off limits for this activity. Only use partners that can make fully informed decisions regarding participation and their own welfare.
- Do not lift while ill or injured, you're only prone to make things worse.
- Lift only insofar as you can maintain perfect form. Once your form degrades due to fatigue or if the load is too heavy, then please immediately stop and call it a day.
As long as you can abide by these guidelines I think you are really going to enjoy learning and performing these buddy lifts!
