IN FOCUS - The fundamental 'Deadlift'
Weighted strength-development
•
18m
THE WHAT & HOW:
Taking an 'In Focus' look at the 'Deadlift', a fundamental loaded hinge-pattern developing raw, full-body strength. As with any pattern considered "fundamental", especially in the world of weight-training, there are many perspectives on optimal execution and this represents just one of them.
As is clear in the beginning [2121] tempo (2" eccentric and 2" concentric), presented here is more of a controlled deadlift emphasising time-under-tension, as opposed to maximal weight lifted.

The Romanian Deadlift (RDL)
THE WHAT:
A fundamental loaded hinge-pattern developing the strength & mobility of the posterior-chain. For the beginner, it commonly requires practice to learn the fundamental ‘hinging’ motor-pattern integral to the movement, one in which flexion occurs only in the HIPS whilst stabilising a ‘NEU... -
The Split-squat
THE WHAT:
The 'split-squat' is a fundamental strength & loaded-mobility development drill which should NOT be confused for a traditional 'lunge'. The main differences are that the split-squat maintains a fermur-to-femur sagittal line, meaning that stance has the back & front foot on the SAME forw... -
High box 'step-up'
THE WHAT:
A loaded, unilateral-emphasis context developing strength through the range of a high 'step-up' pattern. As the movement begins "bottom/up" firstly with a CONCENTRIC phase (i.e. as in a 'Deadlift'), to express maximal "starting-strength" optimal structure must be locked in from the BEGI...
