Key Teaching Points:
- 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
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:
Losing upper-back tension mid-set — cue scapular retraction and lat activation before each rep.
