"Hand-Release Deadlift"



The hand-realease deadlift is a training movement in which the lifter deadlifts the bar and then lowers it under control back to the ground. The lifter then stands tall without the bar and then returns back down to set up for another deadlift pull. There are no "drops from the top" in this movement, so it forces the lifter to train the eccentric phase of this lift. Also, in any set of deadlift reps, the first rep is always the hardest since there is no stretch reflex. In todays workout there are 7 first pulls each round.

Workout of the Day:

7 Hand-Release Deadlifts(275/185)
20 Wall Ball(20/14 to 10')
300m Run
7 Hand-Release Deadlifts
