Strength:
As always while deadlifting, we want a stable lumbar spine. A good cue is “Pull the shoulders away from the ears”, to get the lats to engage lats effectively. If you can’t touch your toes, a trap bar, or lifting off plates might be a better option than a conventional Deadlift, or the RDL option as well. **Talk to your coach!

New Benchmark workout – “Leggplant Rollatini”. Fight for the best position you can on the Front Squats, make the line from the belly button to the solar plexus as long as possible, and drive through your heels to stand up. This will help you breathe, which will obviously make this suck a little less.
