Reverse Band Deadlift
A variation of the traditional deadlift using resistance bands to provide assistance.
Instructions
- Set up a barbell on the floor with the desired weight.
- Attach resistance bands to the top of a power rack and loop them over the barbell.
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, grasp the barbell with an overhand grip.
- Keep your chest up and back straight as you lift the bar off the ground, extending your hips and knees simultaneously.
- Complete the lift by standing fully upright, then lower the bar back to the ground in a controlled manner.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using too loose or too tight bands that don't provide appropriate resistance.
- Rounding the back during the lift, which can lead to injury.
- Not engaging the core and glutes to stabilize the body.
- Using excessive weight, compromising form.
