Floor Based, Low Bands
Applicability:
Group

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Take a full breath, brace the core 360 degrees, before initiating each rep.
  2. 2. Finish with full hip extension and a deliberate glute squeeze at the top.
  3. 3. Push hips back as if reaching for a wall behind you before bending the knees.

Regression:

Substitute a kettlebell deadlift with a light load before progressing to barbell or heavier variations.

Progression:

Progress to a snatch-grip or deficit variation to increase range of motion and technical demand.

Common Problems:

Lower back rounding on the pull — cue neutral spine and brace harder before lift-off. Bar drifting forward — keep it dragging against the body.
