Deadlift Drills

Yesterday I was surfing through training videos. I stumbled across a video by Bryce Lewis. He explained lots of good points but one in particular stood out to me. Before beginning a Deadlift work out take several warm up sets and just pull the bar an inch or so off the ground. Do this for several reps. I found that it helped me to focus on having a tight back and tuck my hips at the beginning of the pull. I up loaded a video to help explain what I'm talking about.

155kg Demo Video

Right now my hamstrings and hips are feeling a good pump. I am very surprised how much of a work out this was. I think I will dial back the weight and sets and only do a couple of sets as a warm up after squats.
