Like that you show so many variations! One suggestion: It is difficult to see Kat’s leg stance, i.e., bent knees or not, when she wears black leggings and the video is shot with her standing in front of the black exercise inspire machine or the black dumbbells. Thanks for the tips. I’m a long away away from using a bosu ball, but will work on the other variations, for sure!
Wow! That must takes a great deal of balance to deadlift on a boss ball 😲 I’ve been deadlifting for over a year now and I STILL do them near a wall in case I lose my balance. Way to go Kat!!
Nice demo.but please be aware that with black pants of demo person and background in video with black Dumbles in rack and black racks and stuff it is hard to see her movement of leg and bent agle of leg , knee etc. Thanks for all the infos.
Hi, it is hard to see the leg position. Do you bent your knees on all variations. I believe some have noted about the black leggings is hard to see if Kat is bending her knees.. Also, I tend to get a pain on my right shoulder blade what do you recommend lower my weights?
Hey Maggie, thanks for writing in and great question! And yes, there is a slight bend in the knee when performing these movements. Just slight enough that you can still feel the pulling with your hammies and glutes though. Pain in your shoulder blade may mean some tight muscles in that region. Consider rolling the area on a tennis ball beforehand to help bring some circulation and loosen up the area. Best of luck! -The FMP Team
Thanks for writing in! The amount will vary, depending on the individual but generally speaking, choose a weight that has you struggling as you approach your target rep range. So if you are shooting for 8-10 reps, you should be struggling to finish as you approach 8. Best of luck! -The FMP Team
I've always heard that lifting things without bending knees can hurt your back. Why is this not hurting her back? Is she doing something specific that I can't see? I think I might be missing something.
Hey Tracie, thanks for writing in and great question! What is absolutely essential for any deadlift (or just about any lift, period) is keeping your core nice and tight. When you flex your ab muscles, you naturally straighten your back to help support your spine and all your back muscles. So just be sure to keep your core strong throughout and you should be safe. -The FMP Team
