Welcome back to our Foundational Movement Series!! So far we’ve covered the Squatting movements as well as the Pushing movements on the blog & our YouTube page. Last month we moved on to the Pulling movements, starting with The Deadlift. This month, we’re covering Sumo Deadlift High Pull!
View our video about it here:
Key Points:
- -Setup – Bar on floor. Stand with feet outside of shoulder width and weight in the heels. With a tight back with good lumbar curve, address the bar, shins should touch the bar, shoulders slightly in front of the bar. Arms are fully extended, locked straight, hands thumb distanced apart, fully gripping the bar between the knees.
- -Execution – Drive through the heels, hips and shoulders rise together. Fully extend hips and shrug with straight arms. Arms follow through and pull the bar to the chin with elbows high and outside.
- -Rep Completions – Rep is complete when full hip and knee extension is reached with the bar pulled under the chin. Bar is returned to the floor in reverse order, arms, traps, hips, knees.
