Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 2. Take a full breath, brace the core 360 degrees, before initiating each rep.
- 3. Control the eccentric; feel the hamstrings load as you lower.
- 4. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
Regression:
Substitute a kettlebell deadlift with a light load before progressing to barbell or heavier variations.
Progression:
Introduce a pause at the bottom for 2 seconds to eliminate elastic rebound and increase time under tension.
Common Problems:
Hyperextending at the top — cue rib cage down and glute squeeze rather than a backward lean.
