Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Finish with full hip extension and a deliberate glute squeeze at the top.
  2. 2. Control the eccentric; feel the hamstrings load as you lower.
  3. 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  4. 4. Eye gaze is neutral — neither looking up nor cranking the neck down.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Add load via barbell, trap bar, or kettlebell. Progress to a single-leg variation to increase instability and unilateral demand.

Common Problems:

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