What the heck is a Box Deadlift—and why do so many elite lifters swear by it?
Chad Wesley Smith breaks down this unique Romanian deadlift variation he learned from legendary strength coaches Mikhail Koklyaev and Boris Sheiko. The box deadlift teaches you how to hinge correctly, loads your hamstrings with actual tension (not just vibes), and cleans up your deadlift mechanics from the ground up.
🧠 In this video, you'll learn:
What a box deadlift is (and how to set it up)
How to actually load your hamstrings with an RDL
Why constant calf contact gives better hinge feedback
When to use box deadlifts in your training
Why less weight = more gainz when done right
Whether you're a powerlifter with a weak start or an athlete learning to hinge, this variation belongs in your toolkit.
