deadlift pulled with bands or chains, so the weight climbs as you stand
built to fix the lockout, where a straight-bar pull gets easier exactly as you
speed up: here it gets heavier instead and you have to keep driving
the break off the floor stays light by comparison, which is the trade: a
lockout tool rather than a floor tool
Execution
Set up your normal deadlift with bands anchored under the platform or chains
hung from the sleeves, so they load progressively as the bar rises. Brace your
trunk, flex erectors and wedge yourself into the bar.
pull the slack out of the bar before anything moves
push the floor away and keep accelerating as the resistance builds
finish at full lockout against the heaviest part of the range
lower under control as the load comes back off
keep the band or chain setup identical between sets
Pick bands or chains and stay with that one. When you move to a lighter or
heavier setup, add an exercise note, since the bar weight no longer tells the
whole story.
