𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗨𝗽: 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 😱⁣
⁣
This is a great variation to incorporate into your programs especially to help you increase power off the floor at the start of each rep 🙌⁣
⁣
It also forces you to use more glute and hamstring activation during the setup for your deadlifts as well as staying tighter within your setup.⁣
⁣
With the deficit deadlift (you can either perform this conventional or sumo):⁣
🔸 Increased your ROM within the lift⁣
🔸 Increases your leg drive as you have to push your feet away from the ground⁣
🔸 Your torso is more bent over as compared to the regular deadlift⁣
🔸 Their is greater time under tension as the ROM is increased⁣
🔸 Requires more hip flexion⁣
⁣
Definitely an exercise 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙮! 💯⁣

⁣
Next we are going to talk about the sumo deadlifts or what people call the "cheater stance" 🤣⁣
⁣
With the sumo deadlifts:⁣
✅ Stance is much wider as compared to the conventional deadlift which = lesser ROM (range of motion). ⁣
As you can see the shins are aligned with the ring of the bar.⁣
✅ Hips stay closer to the bar⁣
✅ Hip angle is more opened as the knees are more closed⁣
✅ More focused on the quads, adductors, & glutes⁣
✅ Grip is inside of the legs⁣

⁣
Are they necessary for you within your training?⁣
⁣
Have you ever wondered if it will improve your performance of what does it help with? 🤔⁣
⁣
The elevated heel will help with individuals who may lack 𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 in order for them to hit depth within the squat.⁣
⁣
Not only does it help with limited ankle mobility, it also helps keep your chest upright in the squat 😊⁣
⁣
It may not be necessary to get weightlifting shoes at first when you start out lifting, but it can be beneficial when lacking ankle mobility as mentioned above.⁣
⁣
𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘴? 🧐⁣
⁣
Have you ever wondered why you're not able to? If that is the case, definitely work on your ankle mobility or even hip mobility to help with that issue.⁣
⁣
If you are curious about which weightlifting shoes may suit you or if you are having trouble with ankle mobility & squatting to depth, DM US for more information so we can help you 😁⁣

⁣
So the 2nd pillar of success from the 4 pillars of success in training is - ⁣
𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 😆⁣
⁣
Once achieving the proper mobility, we need to focus and look at stability. You can say that mobility and stability goes hand in hand when it comes to training. It is important to accomplish both 🙏🏻⁣
⁣
If one has proper mobility and doesn't have stability, it will throw you off in your training. Vice versa, if you have proper stability in your movement patterns & not have proper mobility, you cannot get into the right positioning.⁣
⁣
So what is stability? It is the ability to stay firm and rigid within the movement without any excess motion!⁣
⁣
For example in this video - you can see that Albert is doing a barbell back squat in which his back is rounding or curving; this shows that the individual didn't stay tight in their core or their mid back 😱⁣
⁣
Stability is important because it helps you keep proper positioning within your lifting motions and movements as well as being able to generate proper force development.⁣

⁣
In this video, we have doing some barbell banded floor presses.⁣
⁣
So you are probably wondering ⁣
𝗪𝗛𝗬 we do this exercise? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️⁣
⁣
The floor press is a simple and highly effective pressing variation that we like to incorporate whether you are dealing with a shoulder injury or not. Taking the bench press from a bench to the floor will help you 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘀.⁣
⁣
Benefits of the Floor Press Include:⁣
🔸Incorporating more triceps muscles⁣
🔸Using more upper body strength⁣
🔸More shoulder friendly⁣
⁣
By adding bands to the floor press, it can help a lifter improve their rate of force development & help you fellow lifters develop a better bar in the press. 👊🏻⁣
