Welcome to the long-awaited follow-up to Matt Wenning's popular "SYTYCS" series. This time, Matt targets the pull in the same expert fashion that he did with the squat. We brought in loyal elitefts™ customer and amateur strongman competitor Ryan Minney as our training subject. His form is broken down, analyzed and a thorough plan to improve his deadlift is laid-out.
In part three, Matt covered the goodmorning, one accessory movement that will allow Ryan to pinpoint back arch maintenance, lower tailbone muscle tightness and strength, and hamstring flexibility.
In this installment, Wenning shows a variation of the straight-deadlift using the belt squat machine. This variation will engage glute activation, something that Ryan is missing.
When using this variation to stimulate glutes, remember to:
1) Bring feet super close2) Keep legs straight
3) Arch back
4) Keep head up
5) Push hips through the front
6) Use glutes to stand
