Training Tips
Improve Your Deadlift Score
Drive through your heels and keep the hex bar close to your body throughout the lift. A loose bar path bleeds power.
Brace your core before every rep, take a deep breath, lock in, then lift. Losing your brace between reps is the most common cause of form breakdown.
Train the hip hinge, not just the deadlift. Romanian deadlifts and good mornings build the posterior-chain strength that transfers directly to your MDL score.
Test your 3-rep max monthly at sub-max weights (85–90% effort) to track progress without overloading the central nervous system before test day.
On test day, warm up with two lighter sets (50% and 75% of your target), then take your test attempts. Do not skip the warm-up, cold lifts hurt scores and backs.
