The Deadlift. What an amazing movement! It use to be called the health lift. Doing this lift properly will literally save your life. Nothing teaches the hamstrings, glutes and back to work together and in correct sequence like the deadlift does. This thing will make you strong and improve your quality of life. So why are you so nervous about performing this movement? You’ve tweaked your back doing it once? Yes we can shift a lot of weight doing the deadlift, but that does not mean that every time we go to deadlift we have to lift more than the previous time we lifted. I think we often go into it with this mentality. Lets slow it down, approach the bar prepared and tight, organised as Kelly says. Here are a few videos for you to watch in preparation for tomorrows deadlifts. We’re going to keep the weight slightly lighter to focus on great technique.
