Leverage Deadlift

Build lower-body strength with this machine-based deadlift variation.

The leverage deadlift offers a controlled way to train pulling mechanics without the balance demands of a free-weight barbell. It’s ideal for isolating form and reinforcing hip drive.

Instructions

  1. Stand between the machine handles and grasp them firmly with both hands.
  2. Lower your hips, keep your chest up, and look forward.
  3. Drive through your heels to lift the handles until you’re fully upright.
  4. Lower the weight with control to complete one rep.
