Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Hips and shoulders should rise at the same rate out of the bottom position.
  2. 2. Keep the weight close to the body throughout the full range of motion.
  3. 3. Feet hip-width apart, weight balanced over mid-foot throughout.
  4. 4. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.

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:

Add a band around the hips for accommodating resistance at the top where the lever arm decreases.

Common Problems:

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