Contraindications:
Lower Back Problems, Shoulder Issues/Mobility, Wrist Problems
Equipment:
Floor Based
Applicability:
Group
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Maintain a neutral spine from tailbone to crown; avoid rounding the upper back.
  2. 2. Finish with full hip extension and a deliberate glute squeeze at the top.
  3. 3. Soft knee bend throughout — this is a hip-dominant, not knee-dominant, pattern.
  4. 4. Feet hip-width apart, weight balanced over mid-foot throughout.

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:

Lower back rounding on the pull — cue neutral spine and brace harder before lift-off. Bar drifting forward — keep it dragging against the body.
