Think it's called a Hammer Strength.
I tried it this morning, facing forward, loaded 140kg and did 5-6 reps (3 sets)
Was quite good, just didn't like the forced ROM but got the job done.
Im still a newbie with using the bar for deads so I don't really qualify to judge anyway.
It's also a great way to do lunges safely.
Can you please go into a bit more detail on this mate?
Safer than walking lunges with a barbell?
Do you just lunge using the top handles with some weight added on?
Thanks Goosey, for somebody starting out on Deads for the first time I found it quite good (in terms of being able to lift heavy quite safely and with control) I know it's still not ideal but will continue trying it till I get some proper training on the bar.
You'll notice with most trainees that injury is mainly caused by the larger outer muscles expiring, the larger outer muscles do the work, work over the longer distance, the moment arms are longer, it's the job of the smaller flatter muscles close to the joints to maintain stability, as the larger muscles fatigue, the smaller muscles need to work harder, it then becomes there turn to start moving rather than to stabilize thus causing injury.
This is also the reason why a 1RM is safer than a 10RM
1/2 rep max must be even safer
You're my rock
