Axle Deadlift

How to do it

Load the axle bar with weight plates and set it on the floor over your mid-foot, standing with feet hip-width apart.
Bend at the hips and knees to grip the thick axle bar just outside the legs, since the wider diameter requires a firmer wrap than a standard bar.
Set the chest up and the lower back in a neutral, flat position before initiating the pull.
Drive through the heels and extend the hips and knees together, keeping the bar close to the shins and thighs as it rises.
Exhale as you stand fully upright, squeezing the glutes and hamstrings at the top of the lift.
Inhale and reverse the pattern, pushing the hips back first and hinging down to lower the bar with control.
