Resistance Band Deadlift

The resistance band deadlift teaches the deadlift hinge pattern with accommodating resistance that is lightest at the bottom and heaviest at lockout. Stand on the band, grip both ends, and stand tall.

How to Perform

1

Stand on the center of the band with feet hip-width apart.

2

Hinge at the hips and grip both ends of the band.

3

Stand up by driving through your heels with a flat back.

4

Squeeze your glutes at the top and control the descent.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Rounding the back, especially as the band resistance increases near lockout.

Squatting the movement instead of hinging at the hips.

Standing on the edge of the band, which can slip out under load.
