Deadlifts with the 630am fitfam

Life is pretty rad. I think this last weekend’s inaugural was one of the all-time coolest moments for me as an athlete. To think that the barbell got me to this point in my life is surreal. I started lifting weights when I was 14. When I first started it was because I was being bullied (like everyone at that age) and I was sick of it, so I decided to start building my body. Fast forward a quick 17 years and here we are.

Let’s talk stuff!⁣
⁣
The deadlift is one of the most functional exercises a single human can do. It’s so functional of a movement that you don’t even think about it when you’re doing it dozens of times per day.⁣
⁣
Dynamic effort method was perfected by a fella named Louie Simmons. The idea is to develop the ability to pull with speed by adding what’s called accommodating resistance with bands or sometimes chains. ⁣
⁣
Accommodating resistance simply put is summing up the fact that while you lift the weight (deadlift in this case) the band stretches and adds extra resistance to the bar. However the extra resistance is concentric with how high you lift the bar. ⁣
⁣
As you lift into “lockout” position of the deadlift the bands stretch and add resistance. This teaches the movement pattern muscles that they need produce for force as you lift through range of motion. This teaches your muscles how to accelerate a barbell. ⁣
⁣
If you wanna get stronger ya need bar speed... ⁣
