A common mistake that people make when performing the deadlift is they allow to weight to bounce off the floor going into another rep. This makes the set much easier to finish due to the rebound off the floor making up for half the rep. When we teach the deadlift at our Gym we make sure that everyone re-starts each rep from a dead stop. This ensures the person building that starting strength which is essential in overcoming enertia. The video below describes the mistake of letting the plates bounce off the ground as well as shows how to correct it.
A typical lower body workout for us may look something like this:
- Deadlift off 4 mats – work up to a 3RM
- Sled Drags – Down & Back x 2 trips x 3 sets
- GHR – 3-4 sets of 8-12
- Back Extension - 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
- Hanging Leg Lifts – 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
