Toes Elevated Deadlift

Toes Elevated Deadlift

Last week I posted about how we elevate the heels to improve positioning during squatting at @bodybyboyle.

Similarly, we’ll often use toe elevated deadlifts to help develop the hinge with an athlete who is struggling.

Elevating the toes and forefoot can be a helpful technique to cue clients with a “squatty” knee dominant deadlift pattern. Elevating the toes forces them to sit back into their hips for a more hip dominant pattern. If they are still struggling to sit back and maintain pelvic stability don’t hesitate to slightly elevate the kettlebell to assist them.
