Elitefts™ Advisor and Owner of Mountain Dog Training and Nutrition John Meadows performs a set of chained rack deadlifts with iso-tension.
Set-Up:
- Set up in a power rack and place a bar on the pins.
- The pins should be set just below the knees.
- Position yourself with shins against the bar.
- Feet under the hips.
- Shoulder width grip.
- Arch the back and position hips back to engage the hamstrings.
- Look forward with the head as you extend through the hips and knees to pull the weight up and back until lockout.
- Pull shoulders back to complete the movement.
- Return the weight to the pins and repeat.
- Adding chains to the movement accommodates to the strength curve and increase the amount of tension at the top position.
- Set up another rack dead station with the bar resting between two pins as shown in the video.
- Pull against the pin as hard as you can for 5-10 seconds.
- Repeat for desired amount of iso-tension repetitions.
