The fat bar deadlift builds stronger hamstrings while challenging your grip strength. The thicker bar forces your forearms to work harder than regular deadlifts.
1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, fat bar over mid-foot 2. Hinge at hips, grip the fat bar with both hands just outside your legs 3. Keep chest up, shoulders back, and drive through your heels to lift the fat bar 4. Stand tall by pushing hips forward, keeping the bar close to your body 5. Lower the fat bar by hinging at hips, keeping your back straight throughout the movement
• Keep the fat bar as close to your legs as possible throughout the entire movement • Focus on hinging at your hips, not squatting down to grab the bar • Squeeze your glutes hard at the top of each fat bar deadlift rep • Keep your shoulders pulled back and down to protect your upper back
• Letting the fat bar drift away from your body, which puts stress on your lower back • Rounding your back instead of keeping it neutral during the fat bar deadlift • Using your back instead of your hips and legs to lift the weight
