If your clients struggle to “feel their hip” in a staggered stance or B-stance deadlift, this simple tweak changes everything.
In this video, I break down why the Front-Foot Elevated Split-Stance Deadlift is one of my go-to exercises—especially for hip rehab, improving hip mobility, and teaching clean hinge mechanics. Elevating the front foot creates a natural posterior weight shift, makes the pattern easier to learn, and helps clients load the glute without turning the lift into a squat.
I’ll walk you through:
✔️ Proper setup
✔️ How to cue posterior weight shift
✔️ Kettlebell version (contralateral load)
✔️ Landmine version for progressive loading
✔️ Common mistakes & how to fix them
