Propane Picks
It’s that time of the week again where we sift through the fitness world and pick out top 10 favourite pieces for your reading, viewing and listening pleasure. If you’d like to be considered for us to include you on this list OR if you’d like to write for us, shoot us a message here.
Anyway, on with the list!
Our Number 1 Pick this week is:
25 Tips for a Bigger Raw Deadlift - Adam Pine, Elite FTS, A must read for anyone wanting to rip more off the floor.
Getting a big deadlift is simple, but not easy. Nothing fancy is needed. Shy away from gimmicks, pound the basics, and train hard. Develop the right mindset, build better technique, and use proper programming. As an experienced strength coach and powerlifter, with a deadlift of 750 pounds, I want to pass along 25 tips for building a brutally strong raw deadlift.
The rest of the list is pretty awesome too!
