HOW TO DEADLIFT WITH WEIGHTS


FOR MAILING LIST SUBSCRIBERS ONLY!

A progressive series of exercises that will safely prepare you to deadlift using weights.

deadlift vs squat - what's the difference?

At first glance, the deadlift and the squat seem almost identical. However, there's a big difference, which is the deadlift is all about picking up weight from the ground. To do that, your body needs to hip hinge well, which is where this series starts!

As always, make sure you can do 3 sets of 10 repetitions of each version before progressing to the next. You'll need a dumbbell, a resistance band, and a yoga block or similar for this series.

DEADLIFT 1: HIP HINGES

DEADLIFT 2: SHIN SLIDES

DEADLIFT 3: BANDED PULLS

DEADLIFT 4: DEADLIFT WITH ELEVATED WEIGHT

DEADLIFT 5: DEADLIFT WITH WEIGHT

Once the deadlift with weight becomes easy, use this downloadable PDF as a guide for how to increase the weight so you can keep getting stronger!

"She has added 20 yards to my drives, lowered my blood pressure, improved my footwork in tennis and most recently aided in my rehab from hip surgery. As a bonus, one can have intelligent conversations with her!"
