Before you deadlift, earn the position.
✅ Hyperextensions
✅ Reverse hypers
✅ Glute kickbacks
The deadlift isn’t about brute strength.
It’s about control, activation, and timing.
When you prep the right muscles first, your back doesn’t have to “save” the lift — it just stays stable while the hips do the work.
Train the pattern.
Build the prerequisites.
Then load the bar.
That’s how strong stays sustainable.
