Hex Bar Deadlift
Exploring the Hex Bar Deadlift and Seated Broad Jump Superset
Today, we’ll focus on the hex bar deadlift, paired with a max effort superset featuring the seated broad jump. Sounds exciting!
A) Starting Position
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Use a neutral grip (palms facing each other) on the bar.
In this position, your knees, hips, and ankles should be flexed, maintaining a neutral spine.
B) Execution
To initiate the movement, engage your core and push through your heels while keeping your spine neutral.
At the peak of the lift, hold the weight steady, ensuring that you do not hyperextend or round your spine.
C) Lowering Phase
Begin the downward motion by flexing (lowering) your hips and knees, while keeping your elbows extended.
During this exercise, you should feel activation in your glutes, hamstrings, mid-back, and shoulders. The hex bar deadlift is an excellent way to enhance overall strength, particularly in the posterior chain.
