Dead Lift Tutorial:
Deadlifts are one of few exercises that can be considered a total body workout. This
exercise focuses on the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and back erectors as primary
movers, but also recruits many more muscles for stabilization. Whether you want to get
stronger, lose weight, or even target certain muscle groups, performing proper Deadlifts
can be crucial in helping you get to your goals. In this tutorial, participants will
learn proper technique and form to safely and effectively perform Deadlifts, as well as
different styles of programming to meet their specific goals (Deadlift Pyramids,
Rack-Pulls, Ladders, etc.). All muscle groups being worked will be explained, and time
will be reserved for individual questions.
Date: Thursday, 3/3: 12:15-1:00pm
Location: Hemenway Weight Room
Personal Trainer: Mike Doyle (hempt(a)fas.harvard.edu)
Fee: $8.00 for facility members
