5 Deadlift Variations for Replacing the Conventional Deadlift

Many athletes (and non-athletes) struggle with the conventional deadlift.

They don't know how to stay tight.

They can't maintain a neutral spine.

And they often don't realize how bad their lifting form gets under heavy, and sometimes not-so-heavy, loads.

Here's the kicker, though..

Unless you're a powerlifter or Olympic lifter, you don't HAVE TO pull from the floor with a straight bar.

There are other alternatives for getting bigger and stronger that pose less of an injury risk - like the sumo deadlift off pins in a power rack.

I talk about five great deadlift alternatives in my new article on STACK.com. Check it out here:
