Deficit Deadlift
2
The deficit deadlift is an advanced deadlift variation performed by standing on an elevated surface to increase the range of motion. This makes the exercise harder and focuses more on your lower back and the entire posterior chain. Start by standing on a weight plate or a short platform, roughly 1-3 inches high. Bend your hips and knees to lower your body and grasp a barbell with an overhand grip. Keep your lower back naturally arched, chest up and brace your core. Drive your heels into the floor and lift the bar up until you are in standing position.
