The Jefferson Deadlift
Good afternoon Titans,
This is the third installment of a 5 part series I am doing to help prepare local athletes for the Swamp Monster Shootout happening this April in Lafayette, LA. If you want to check out the other instalments you can find the axle clean and press here and the Husafell stone carry here. If you plan on competing, then I look forward to meeting you there.
The Jefferson Deadlift is a very odd lift. Also known as a Jefferson squat the mechanics are very similar to a squatting pattern. Characterized by the bar splitting between the competitors legs this particular old school lift challenges you in ways other deadlifts do not. Set up is very dependent on the athlete due to the odd use of levers but I will do my best to explain in in the video below.
