WHY POWERLIFTING WILL IMPROVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY

Deadlifting 420 pounds (four 45-plates on each side, with a 2.5+5 pounder)

To improve your photography, start powerlifting.

Powerlifting [deadlift, squats] to strengthen your legs, and more!

to improve your photography, strengthen your legs.

If we consider that health starts from the feet upwards, perhaps we can also think

  • photography starts from the legs upwards.

If you have strong legs, you will be able to better perform in photography —

  1. Walking further with less fatigue
  2. More testosterone production, which will increase your confidence in photography
  3. More hip flexibility means you can squat lower for photo
  4. Stronger legs means you can better sprint quickly to ‘get the shot’.

best workouts for photographers

  1. Deadlift [sumo style]
  2. Squats [deep — ‘ass to grass’ style]
  3. Yoga leg stretching
  4. Dynamic ‘cross-fit-esque’ workouts like burpees, etc.
