Bottle Weighted Deadlift
The deadlift at home with a large water bottle beside each foot, lifted by the handles, one in each hand.
How to do it
Setup
A bottle beside each foot, hips back and down, a handle in each hand, arms long, back flat.
Steps
- Stand up by pushing the floor away, the bottles rising at your sides.
- Finish tall, hips fully open.
- Hinge and bend the knees to set the bottles back beside the feet.
Common mistakes
Reaching for the bottles with a round back: lower the hips until the back is flat. Bottles swinging out from the legs: lift them straight up at your sides. Rushing because they are light: slow reps make a light load count.
Breathing
Inhale at the bottom, exhale after lockout.
