Lots of talk about the “Next Level Strength” – Barbell Basics program we have going right now.

People are asking – “what’s the #1 exercise for strength”?
My opinion: the Deadlift.
That’s why it’s one of the lifts we focus on teaching in Next Level Strength.
Deadlifts stimulate the whole body. They work the butt, upper thighs, hamstrings, lower back, upper middle back, traps, and more. And they have a lot of application to many different training goals.
But they are also highly technical … and you need to make sure your form is solid before jacking up the weight and really going for it.
So check out the tips below, and implement them today. And, if you want our coaching and help, sign up for Next Level Strength here.

5 Technique Tips for a Bigger Deadlift
1 – Get your back flat.
Your shoulders should be down and back, your back flat, and your upper back tight and positioned right over the bar on your set up.
2 – Set up with the bar right above the middle of your feet.
When you reach down to grab it with your hands, your shins should end up touching it.
3 – Take the slack out of the bar when you set up and get ready to lift.
This will feel a bit like you’re pulling up on the bar and driving your feet into the ground at the same time. Another way to think about it is like you’re wedging yourself between the bar and the ground.
4 – Stick with the double overhand grip for as long as possible.
At some point, when the weight gets higher, you’ll have to switch to the mixed grip. But the double overhand grip is most symmetrical and easiest on your body.
5 – The bar path should be straight up and down.
NOT around your knees, out in front of your body, etc.
“From the trainers to the people who workout at FVT, they are all very welcoming! The workout is always amazing, hard but doable. They have been very patient and accommodating as I work through an injury. I would highly recommend trying a workout, you won’t be sorry.”

When it comes to fat loss, most people focus on two main things:
1 – Cardio 2 – Dieting
Strength training, however, is just as if not more important when it comes to your weight loss goals. Because the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism runs, the more calories you burn at rest, and the faster you can shed the weight. And, if you are stronger, you will likely be able to work out more intensely and longer, which will also lead to greater calorie burn and fat loss.
Estimates suggest that every pound of muscle burns roughly 6 cal per day at rest. That’s about three times as many calories is a pound of fat, which burns roughly 2 cal per day. Add a few pounds of muscle, and this can really start to add up.
Another big benefit of adding muscle is that with increased strength, you will likely be able to work out longer and more intensely, which will also help you burn more calories. And if you can burn an extra 100, 200, 300 cal per workout, 3,4,5 times per week… that starts to add up too.
To sum up, if your goals include fat loss, don’t neglect strength training as an important part of the overall equation. When you get stronger and add muscle, you’ll burn more calories at rest, and you’ll also be able to work out harder and longer, which will help you lose fat and get to your goals faster.
