Training Tip: A great variation on the traditional deadlift is the wide-grip deadlift. When compared to its traditional form, this version has three added benefits – 1) It increases the demand on one’s upper back muscles, 2) It boosts forearm and hand muscle strength / overall development, and 3) It increases the range of motion of the exercise. If the limiting factor in your deadlift is leg drive, causing difficulty in the bottom third of the movement, try several weeks of wide-grip deadlifts, alternating with wide-grip’s from a deficit. When done with proper depth and form, this will help to add power to your lift, removing the sticking point.
