When in the gym, the word 'Deadlift' is often thrown about in terms of strength, "how much can you deadlift?"...that stuff. But with Deadlifts, like most lifts, has variations such as; RDL (Romanian Deadlift) This particular deadlift will switch from using the lower back as much to more emphasis on the Hamstrings and Glutes. What you want to be doing is pushing your hips back and keeping your back straight. From that you want to be lowering the bar down the legs, allowing a slight bend in the knee. With this variation you may not being able to get the bar to reach the ground and that is down to the hamstring flexibility. Sumo Deadlift A variation which will require slightly different movement. It will require having a wider stance with the feet and a more narrow grip with the hands. Doing this style will again take a load off the lower back and will shift the majority of load on to the Hamstrings, Hips & Quadriceps. Trap Bar Deadlift This particular variation can be seen as an easier lift for the fact of you lifting the weight from the centre instead of in front. As the lift is more centred it may feel better balanced as the grip you hold the bar will be from the sides and be seen as a more natural movement. If you struggle with the conventional deadlift, then this may be a better place to start.

BB Back Squat 120kg!
Pushing the limits is always great to do, shows you what you are capable of 💪🏽 Managing to push 120kg seems mad to me, getting stronger each time & this is just through training consistently 🙌🏾 (Felt it in the first rep 😂) #training #legday #limitations #gym #squats

❗️❗️POWER BAGS❗️❗️
A great piece of gym equipment that can be found in a gym, and various different exercises can be done with them, I completed a couple of different exercises which can be seen in this short video; ⭕️Deadlifts ⭕️Front squats ⭕️Back squats ⭕️Hammer curls ⭕️Bent over Row ⭕️Upright Row ⭕️Shoulder shrugs This piece of kit is a good alternative to using Barbells or Dumbells, as sometimes it's good to switch up what we do, but also a good way to introduce certain lifts before jumping on to the Barbells.
