Description:
  1. While standing place the dowel behind your back such that it contacts the gluts, t-spine and back of the head.  You may hold the dowel in the small of the back and curve of the c-spine.
  2. While keeping all points of contact slowly perform a deadlift.
  3. Make sure you flex at the hips and knees sufficiently so that you do not over flex forward at the trunk.
  4. Work towards deep depths as you improve mobility.
  5. Use this exercise to help identify any mobility restrictions you may notice during your deadlift pattern.
Common Error(s): Torso collapses forward | Sagging lower back | Forward Head Posture
