Start by standing facing the wall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Press ZeroWheel against the wall at hip-level with your hips and knees bent and arms extended. Focus on your whole back and glutes, keeping your core braced and arms extended. Do not overextend your spine or remove tension between ZeroWheel and wall—lean slightly forward if ZeroWheel begins to skid or come off the wall.
Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path downward by bending your knees and hinging from your hips. Stabilize the downward movement with your back, glutes, and core. Do not disengage your back to avoid overloading your spine.
Squat down as low as possible with ZeroWheel at shin-level. Engage your glutes by stretching the muscles. While hinging downwards, keep your core engaged. Do not arch your back.
Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path upward by extending your knees and hinging from your hips. Drive the upward movement with your glutes and quads while keeping your arms locked and core braced. Do not disengage your glutes and quads.
The ZeroWheel Standard Deadlift is ideal for anyone looking to develop full-body strength and improve posture. It is especially beneficial for athletes in sports like football, weightlifting, and track and field, where explosive power and strong hips and legs are essential for peak performance. In addition to developing strength and muscle tone, the Standard Deadlift is excellent for promoting longevity and functional fitness. It mimics natural movements like lifting heavy objects, which is crucial for maintaining mobility and independence as you age. By strengthening your posterior chain and improving your core stability, the deadlift can help prevent common injuries, improve posture, and support the safe execution of daily activities.
