This tailored version of the Sumo Deadlift, (apart from the kettlebell instead of a barbell) because it provide two particular challenges or disadvantages to the performer: . 1️⃣ ACCOMMODATING RESISTANCE: The rubber band allow us to work more evenly the effort made at both the beginning of the lift (starting strength) and the top of the lift (lockout). In other words, getting out of the hole is tough but, as the rubber band stretches in the way up, all the segments of the hip hinge are equally challenging. A great resource to adapt to the most difficult segments of the lift (sticking point). To illustrate Sara's effort, from 60kilos at the bottom, she is lifting approx 80kilos at the top of the move (1.5 times her bodyweight per 10 reps. Not too bad, ha?) . 2️⃣ DEFICIT STAND: a higher stance adds depth and difficulty to the lift itself and allows a greater range in motion to the Hip Hinge. However, Such deficit (check out the bottom of the Kettlebell descending lower than Sara's feet) is advisable only for advance lifters or those with strengthening purposes for the Deadlift event, given the technical demands that imply taking the mobility skills to the limit (and additional tension)... . 💥Please, mind that all new "foreign" environments or performance training strategy (like accomodating resistance and the deficit) only will be effective if the athlete ADAPTS to the conditions or disadvantages provided by such "adverse habitat". If so, stronger lifts will follow. Thanks for reading. Happy to discuss the topic, the chart or the video.
