Exercise Description

The reverse band deadlift reduces weight at the bottom and adds assistance at the top. It helps you practice proper form and build strength through the full range of motion.

How To

1. Set up resistance bands from the top of a power rack to each end of your barbell 2. Position the barbell over your mid-foot and stand with feet hip-width apart for your reverse band deadlift setup 3. Hinge at your hips, keep your chest up, and grab the bar with both hands just outside your legs 4. Drive through your heels and push the floor away while keeping the bar close to your body during the reverse band deadlift 5. Stand tall at the top, squeeze your glutes, then slowly lower the bar back down with control

Form Tips

• Keep the bar path straight and close to your body throughout the entire reverse band deadlift movement • Start the lift by pushing the floor away with your feet rather than pulling the bar up • Your shoulders should stay directly over the bar during the reverse band deadlift setup • Breathe in at the bottom, hold your breath during the lift, then breathe out at the top

Common Mistakes

• Rolling the bar away from your body instead of keeping it close during the reverse band deadlift • Rounding your back or letting your chest drop too much at the bottom position • Using too much band assistance which reduces the effectiveness of the reverse band deadlift exercise
