This week’s EliteFTS/Maroscher Coaching Log features two must try variations of the deadlift to assist in helping develop your traditional deadlift be it sumo or conventional. Keep in mind, I didn’t say these variations would be fun.

Especially in the world of RAW powerlifting, the deadlift is where you can win or lose the meet. There is nothing like being a big puller in the meet as it can add to an already big subtotal, or if you are a very average bencher, having a strong pull can be what puts you on top at the end of the meet.

This log features two, must try variations of the deadlift for you to consider implementing into your training if you are wanting to increase your deadlift p.r. Both of these variations incorporate EliteFTS bands and both were made famous by WSBB.

The accompanying video helps to give you actual visual examples of how these movements look and by pausing the video you can see exactly how the bands are set up.

The first variation utilizing accommodating resistance you will see in the video is reverse bands aka the lighten method. This method as you will see in the video is where the bands are attached at the top of the EliteFTS 2x2 power rack. This will decrease the weight on the bar at the lower part of the lift and as the bands get shorter as you are pulling the weight off the ground and into the air, the weight increases as the band becomes less tight and more flaccid. This means the top of your deadlift will be more challenging.

The second method also utilizing accommodating resistance is where the bands are attached to the bar at the bottom of the EliteFTS 2x2 power rack. This also makes the top end far more challenging, and if you have the bands doubled as in the video, you will find this to be very, very challenging almost immediately and the tension will be constant at the top vs with the reverse band method, the weight is heavier at the top due to the reduction of assistance from the bands, but there is not a constant tension, as with the doubled mini-bands at the bottom of the movement.

Both variations will help you develop the lock out, but both are very different in feel although they might look similar as they both incorporate the EliteFTS bands. In this case, looks are deceiving. I recommend trying both and the method that is more difficult for you to do, that is the method that will do you the most good. As I said at the onset, neither variation is particularly enjoyable, but the joy comes from your new p.r. deadlift in the gym, and then at the meet.

Wishing you all the best in your training and meet prep. Ever onward. Eric Maroscher: Monster Garage Gym.
