An interesting thing happened on the way to filming my deadlift….

July 29, 2014 By Philip Leave a Comment

I recorded myself doing deadlifts today, because I was planning to talk about how deadlifts are the king of exercises.  But an interesting thing happened – I noticed that my back was more rounded than it should have been.  So I recorded the above lift with a lighter weight and better form.  You can see from the still below, my back is rounded more than it should be.

This video exercise taught me a valuable lesson.  With lifts like this and the squat that are hard to see your form with in the mirrors, it might be a good idea to film it so as to see your form.  This can help you identify your problems in form and correct them.

I've always hated exercise and getting on the floor, out of the question. Eight weeks ago, I didn't know what to expect or if I could successfully do the program. Philip was so patient with me and trained me at a level that I could sustain. I have never been excited about working out. I actually began to look forward to working out with him. At the end of the eight weeks, I feel stronger, I have more energy, and my sleep has improved. I'm even down seven pounds. I was so pleased with the results that I signed up for an additional eight weeks. Thanks Philip!  (Individual results may vary)
