Welcome to the long-awaited follow-up to Matt Wenning's popular "SYTYCS" series. This time, Matt targets the pull in the same expert fashion that he did with the squat. We brought in loyal elitefts™ customer and amateur strongman competitor Ryan Minney as our training subject. His form is broken down, analyzed and a thorough plan to improve his deadlift is laid-out.
Wenning covers:
1) Ryan's weaknesses found while performing conventional deadlifts in Part 1
2) How to attack hips and fire the posterior chain
3) Sumo deadlift carry-over to conventional pulls
4) Sumo deadlift in a wide stance
He has Ryan complete one set of wide-stance sumo deadlifts in 45 seconds. In the 45-second time frame, Matt pinpoints where and when Ryan's form begins to break down.
