Barbell Deadlift From Blocks
- 1 - Begin by setting up blocks or mats on the ground to elevate the barbell. The height of the blocks should be chosen based on your training goals and needs. Common heights are just below knee level or mid-shin.
- 2 - Stand in front of the barbell with your feet positioned approximately hip-width apart.
- 3 - Reach down and grip the barbell with both hands. You can choose between a double overhand grip (both palms facing you) or a mixed grip.
- 4 - Engage your core and lats (the muscles under your armpits and along your back). This creates tension in your upper body, which aids in maintaining proper form.
- 5 - Initiate the lift by pushing through your heels and straightening your hips and knees simultaneously.
- 6 - Stand up fully, extending your hips and bringing your shoulders back. Maintain a straight back and good posture at the top of the lift.
- 7 - Lower the barbell with control to the blocks or mats and repeat the movement.
