Normal vs mixed grip. Use a normal grip first. both palms facing you (left). Grip the bar narrow, about shoulder-width apart. This puts your arms vertical to the floor when looking from the front. The bar will hang at the lowest position possible which decreases the distance it must mov...
The shoulders in the RDL are much further in front of the bar than the normal deadlift. Strength Used The Romanian and conventional deadlifts have differences in strength and maximum load as well. The traditional deadlift is better suited for strength gains and developing muscle mass. You can...
strength during competition and training. Take your normal deadlift stance, conventional or sumo, load down into the bar, and grasp the bar with a double over-hand grip. You will be quickly humbled by the amount of weight you can pull. Typically, a person who has never done this will onl...
A flat and thin sole is going to get you as close to the ground as possible, which will dramatically improve stability and limit the distance the bar has to travel from the ground to lockout. How Important Is Sole Thickness? High quality flat and thin soles are absolutely worth it. If y...
(VBT) has been proposed as an accurate method to monitor and prescribe resistance training intensities and volumes. VBT uses the velocity of the bar to determine the relative load (%1RM) [28]. Recent studies have shown that the FV relationship is stable when using the velocity of the bar ...
“Break and absorb at your hips”. The external focus instruction group received the following instructions: “Drag the bar towards the hips” and “Control the bar downwards while loading”. All coaching instructions were provided prior to the exercise and then reiterated during each 45 s intra...
