When people say ready, set, deadlift - do you know what set up you should be doing before you pull. Or do you just grip and rip? This video is not so much a specific mobility suggestion as it is a deadlift lesson from a human movement optimization perspective. So enjoy that.
But if you need to get ready to deadlift, then do the pigeon and do some solid boot strappers.
MarkyDDD!!! Thanks for this post...I 'fixed' my approach today and pulled a solid PR (following Coach's formula, of course!) AND DID NOT HURT MY BACK! I even went to the chiro this afternoon to fix another issue, and I asked if he could tell I pulled a DL PR...he said, no way...
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping us fix ourselves...some of us do pay attention! Merry Christmas to you and the family!
Erin,
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. I am so happy to hear about your results. Great job.

p.s. Of course: Thanks to the super Mobility Warrior Kelly Starrett. Teaching people to fix themselves, filming every day and giving it away for free, and just being plain awesome. I am thrilled to be able to tie his work to cfot.
