Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Control the eccentric; feel the hamstrings load as you lower.
  3. 3. Eye gaze is neutral — neither looking up nor cranking the neck down.

Regression:

Reduce range of motion by using a rack pull or Romanian deadlift from blocks. Practise the hinge pattern with a dowel on the spine before loading.

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

Hyperextending at the top — cue rib cage down and glute squeeze rather than a backward lean.
