CONVENTIONAL VS FLOATING DEADLIFT!

What’s the difference between the two?

1. CONVENTIONAL DEADLIFT
- Great for strength training
- We reset the bar with each rep and lose the tension in the glutes at the bottom of each rep
- Doing a dead stop at the bottom of each rep
- Suboptimal for hypertrophy, but great if you are training for strength

2. FLOATING DEADLIFT
- Great deadlift variation for hypertrophy
- The bar does not touch the floor and we keep the tension at the bottom of each rep where the glutes are lengthened
- Stand on a plate to create a deficit and ensure that the bar does not touch the floor

Hope that helps :)

GLUTES ON THE BELT SQUAT MACHINE!

Such an underrated machine that you can use for so many different exercises.

Two of my favourite are the belt squat, and the RDL’s.

You can load the machine and train close to failure without risking falling under a barbell ( which some people tend to do when they do heavy loads for low / high bar squats ).

Your glutes are going to be lengthened at the bottom of each rep.
You can also add a heel elevation and go into a deep squat if your goal is to bias your quads more.

For the RDL’s, it’s self explanatory.
You can also load the machine quickly and train safe to failure.
You could do single leg RDL’s, B stance RDL’s, or regular RDL’s.

Another exercise for glutes that I love doing on the belt squat is a step up! And you could also do Bulgarian split squats on the belt squat machine.

I shall film some tutorials about them in the coming days :)

But for now, this is all I have haha

I hope it helps :)
