After posting my most recent blog, I had someone ask me how many different deadlift variations are there that I incorporate into my programs. Well, I use different deadlift variations depending on the training goal and time period in the training cycle. Here are a few variations.
- Traditional Barbbell Deadlift
- 1 Arm Barbell Deadlift
- 1 Arm Barbell Deadlift – holding the bar with one arm on the side of your body (I will make a video clip and post it so you can visually see this)
- 1 Leg Barbbell Deadlift (in this clip he should start the bar on the ground and finish the rep with the bar on the ground)
- Any of these variations can be done with dumbbells or kettlebells – you can also combine single leg and single arm movements (I will also make a video of these exercises and post them soon)
- Then you have RDLs – which is a variation of a deadlift. RDLs can also be performed with a barbbell, dumbbell and kettlebell.
Bottom line is there are a lot of deadlift variations to incorporate in your training routines.
