Deadlift High Pull
A deadlift that carries on into a high pull to chest height, elbows leading.
How to do it
Setup
Deadlift setup, grip just outside the legs, back flat.
Steps
- Deadlift the bar past the knees.
- Keep pulling – elbows high – to chest height.
- Lower along the body in two stages.
Common mistakes
Two separate lifts: one accelerating pull, floor to chest. Elbows below wrists at the top: elbows LEAD. Heavy grinding: this is a speed builder; keep it crisp.
Breathing
Breath at the floor, exhale at the top.
