Reset Deadlift

How to do it

  1. Set up for a conventional deadlift with the barbell on the floor.
  2. Pull the bar from a dead stop on every single rep.
  3. Completely release tension at the bottom and reset your position.
  4. Re-brace your core and set your back before each rep.
  5. This eliminates the stretch reflex and builds starting strength.
  6. Maintain proper form on every rep without bouncing.
