11/17 Mobility Monday

We love the deadlift! We teach it in our Foundations course and love to see you all lift heavy weights off the floor. The deadlift is often maligned by our Facebook friends, our parents, and others who have not learned how to properly lift heavy weights from a dead stop. One of the most misunderstood features of the deadlift is the position of the upper back. Here's a great video with Mark Bell and Jesse Burdick, two of best powerlifting coaches in the US, discussing proper back position and training vs. max effort. Watch Part 2 of the video here. Watch this video to see these bad boys lifting heavy weights!
