Ian has developed a unique technique for the deadlift – a technique that he believes is superior for hypertrophy in these areas as well as for transfer to sport. These techniques require application over time – but from his experiences Ian is confident that the rewards justify the effort in learning his technique.

This DVD covers many variables relating to the deadlift. Body position variables: feet width & angle, knee & hip movement, trunk & pelvis angles, and head position. Equipment variables: how to select the bar & plates, chalk & wrist straps. Management issues: warm-up, stretching, warm-up sets, arousal and recovery. Safety issues: such as spotters and protecting your back.

There is so much ground covered! It also touches briefly on the deadlift variations, including the stiff legged deadlift, the clean & high pull, and the single leg deadlift variations, then concludes with a special section dedicated to more advanced issues such as belts and smelling salts.

What others have said

Ian, previously I ignored the stability control drills and thought I had the pelvis control down. I was wrong! After watching the tapes and performing the drills for lower body prior to a heavy deadlift day, my technique and focus are greatly improved… Once again you have proven yourself to be the ‘missing link’ between all the information out there and of its practical applications. Keep up the great work!—Stephen
