Definition: Rolling Thunder Deadlift:

Setup 1. Load weights on loading pin (or you can use a rope strung through the hole in the weights) and attach Rolling Thunder handle to the loading pin (or rope) with a carabeener.

Instructions

1. Straddle weight stack - in line with instep

2. Grab Rolling Thunder with pronated grip - hand must be in the middle of the implement and not on the end preventing rotation

3. Arm straight (like a rope) and extend knees to a straight legged, shoulder retracted locked position

4. Reverse movement back down to the ground and repeat

Benefits: Because the thick handle of the Rolling Thunder revolves, the wrist strength and finger/thumb strength developed is insane.
