How to: Band deadlift
- Stand on the band with feet shoulder-width apart and hold the handles.
- Hinge at your hips, keeping your back straight and chest up as you bend forward.
- With your core engaged and back straight, lift your torso back to standing, pulling the band with you.
- Squeeze your glutes at the top before lowering back down.
Common Mistakes
- Rounding the back instead of keeping it straight.
- Lifting too quickly, leading to momentum rather than a controlled lift.
- Not engaging the glutes at the top of the lift.
Modifications
- Use a lighter band to start if you're new to the exercise.
- Perform the movement without the band to focus on form.
Tips
- Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
- Engage your core to prevent lower back strain.
- Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of the lift.
