Happy Deadlifting: Tension and Alignment Shortcuts to Maximize Your Hips and Glutes for Happier Pulling

The deadlift - it isn't just for guys with chains around their necks who smash their heads into walls and scream anymore. You have nothing in common with powerlifters - except that you need to deadlift with a barbell.

No other lift delivers lean muscle, real world functional strength, and a coordinated set of of hips, core, neck and shoulders in such a minimum time and rep investment as the barbell deadlift. By minimum time investment I mean even less than five (5) minutes a day, 4 or 5 days a week.

Think about your day to day life - how many times will you pick something off the floor vs. pressing or squatting or swinging. It isn't even competitive.

Kettlebells are great - but the major thing they lack is the ability to adequately load the deadlift. Because the deadlift has a high degree of time under tension, it zaps fat and delivers leanness FAST in addition to having carry over to your real world life.

Take your barbell to the backyard and get some fresh air while enjoying the many benefits of the deadlift.

If you want to change your body with the simple deadlift, learning how to optimize your entire body into the lift is the only way to get long-term sustainable results. The deadlift is a two-edged sword - it is the most effective tool for lean, functional, all purpose and practical strength in the least amount of time, but it can also be dangerous and injury inducing if you don't have excellent form.

Think about it -

A boxer doesn't just throw their arm forward to throw a punch. They put their entire body into it. No energy is wasted. Are you wasting energy when you deadlift? Do you feel confident with your mechanics? If you aren't using your body the right way, the benefits of the deadlift will be lost on you forever.

If you don't feel confident, this book will guide you step by step for setting up a strong, happy deadlift for a lifetime of effective lifting.
