8/24/22 – Deadlift High Pull

Hello everyone! We’re bringing the heat this month and working on deadlifts! Deadlifts are a great way to build total body strength, with little to no equipment needed. You can use a dumbbell, stapler, water bottle, or whatever you have laying around the house and office.

Today we will work on deadlifts into an upright row (or deadlift high pull). This compound exercise builds both lower and upper body strength.

Start with your feet shoulder width apart. Lower the weight down and keep your chest lifted and shoulder blades back. Stand up tall and pull the weight up to your chin and keep your elbows up. Repeat for 10 repetitions.
