Tutorial: Kinesis Deadlift

WHAT

The Kinesis Deadlift is a cable variation of the classic deadlift movement. It’s a quick, convenient movement that allows you to lift close to your sides, making the movement feel more comfortable.

HOW

• Line your feet up with the handles.
• Hinge the hips, and pick up the handles.
• Keep the core engaged and squeeze the shoulder blades together.
• Lift to full hip extension, and slowly return.

WHY

As a natural movement, the deadlift trains the entire body. It is also a great substitute if you have limited flexibility in the hamstrings; with this in mind, it is an effective introduction to the Barbell Deadlift. The reflex stabilization in the shoulder also makes the kinesis deadlift a great exercise for shoulder health.
