Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  2. 2. Take a full breath, brace the core 360 degrees, before initiating each rep.
  3. 3. Control the eccentric; feel the hamstrings load as you lower.
  4. 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.
