How to Deadlift Heavier

“Pick it up, put it back down.”

It sounds so simple, yet the deadlift is a maddeningly complex movement that can cause more frustration than trying to find that last tiny scoop in your tub of pre-workout. This humble full-body exercise involves so much more than most people think, especially if you expand beyond the conventional form.

Of course, whether you’re a fan of the wide-legged sumo stance, the glute- and hamstring-focused Romanian rendition, or even the trap bar version, you’ll want to put up bigger numbers over time. Luckily, our guide on how to deadlift heavier is your one-stop shop to earning that “nailed it!” feeling when you hit a new one-rep max.

From periodization protocols to grip training to accessory exercises, we’ve compiled all the tips and tricks you need to keep the needle moving in the right direction.

Freebeat Boom Bike Review

As a certified personal trainer, longtime athlete, and professional DJ, I’m all about making fitness as fun as possible. Apparently, the folks at Freebeat feel the same way. After all, you don’t put pace-syncing LED lightstrips and a rotating HD touchscreen on an indoor cycling bike if you’re not trying to have an absolute blast during your cardio session.

While most exercise enthusiasts have heard about, seen, or even ridden a Peloton, you may not be as familiar with this more budget-friendly bike manufacturer. In this Freebeat Boom Bike review, we’ll take you on a scenic ride where you’ll learn about its features, performance, and more so you can decide if it belongs in your home gym.

So, if you’re looking for a Peloton-like experience without the Peloton price tag, pedal your way over to peel back the curtain on a bike that’s made for rave-worthy workouts.
