Deadlift With Bands

A variation of the traditional deadlift that uses resistance bands to add tension throughout the movement.

Instructions

• Set up the resistance bands securely under your feet and around your hands.
• Stand with your feet hip-width apart and a slight bend in your knees.
• Hinge at the hips and lower your torso while keeping your back straight.
• Grasp the bands, ensuring there is some tension in them from the beginning.
• Pull through your heels, keeping your core tight, and stand up straight while pulling the bands upward.
• Lower back to the starting position by hinging at the hips and keeping the bands taut.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Rounding the back during the lift.
• Using arms to lift instead of engaging the hips and legs.
• Not maintaining tension in the bands throughout the movement.
• Standing too wide or narrow, misaligning the start position.
