Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
- 2. Control the eccentric; feel the hamstrings load as you lower.
- 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.
