week 4: Deficit Deadlift

week 5: repeat

What are the benefits of performing Deadlift?

I found that not everyone can perform squat with full range of motion, but almost every "healthy" trainee can perform Deadlift with different styles.

Deadlift is a "natural" movement.

When you pick something from the floor, that's Deadlift.

Deadlift is one of the posterior chain exercises.

As we know that most of trainees' posterior chain is pretty weak, including me.

I am quads dominate.

Techniques of Deadlift:

- Chest up

- Head up, eyes look forward

- Arms straight

- Lats tight

- Back straight

- Brace your abs before you drive to the floor

- Tense your lats & glutes when you're standing upright.

- Squeezing your shoulder blades together (retraction)

- Lower down the weight with controlled tempo (specially for body composition transformation)

- Reset from the floor

- Don't rush for the next rep.

- One after One
