resetting on the floor removes the stretch reflex and any body English, so
each rep starts cold and the back has to produce all of it
what it gives your deadlift is a back that holds its position while the bar
moves
Execution
Set the bar on the floor over your midfoot. Hinge forward until your torso is
parallel, knees slightly bent, and take an overhand grip just outside your
shoulders. Brace your trunk and flex erectors.
pull the bar explosively to your lower chest
keep your torso parallel, with no rising as the bar comes up
lower the bar all the way back to the floor
let it settle before starting the next rep
reset your position each time rather than bouncing it
This is assistance work. It earns its place by fixing a position in the main
lift, not by its own numbers, so run it after the main lift of the day.
