In this video, I discuss the importance of lifting things up off the ground. This is one of the most fundamental types of lift and is something that is very difficult to emulate without some sort of weight. Lifting things off the ground will create powerful glutes, hamstrings, traps, biceps, pecs, and more - working your entire body and building an iron spine and core.

This is also one of the most functional types of movement there is - something you’ll actually need to do outside the gym. We pick stuff up off the floor when we’re gardening, moving furniture, playing with kids, shopping…

And practicing deadlifts and the like will also translate to a higher jump and general athleticism - as you build your posterior chain, improve glute activation, learn to hinge the hips properly. Of course, it’s very important for injury prevention.

But deadlift alone isn’t enough. While deadlifting is brilliant for building pure lifting strength, you also need to ensure you’re training endurance. Very often we put our backs out with light weight and that’s because we’ve spent all day lifting or working. That’s when accidents happen - when those small supporting muscles give up, or form breaks down.

Then there’s the matter of variability. A big deadlift will build a lot of strength that will translate very well to similar movements… but for more transfer you also need to practice lifting things at unusual angles and you need to practice lifting objects that aren’t perfectly shaped.

That means picking up logs, sandbags, kettlebells, and more. It means using different variations of movements. And it means improving mobility, posture, and structure to ensure you’re able to safely generate power from a variety of positions.
