Struggling with your deadlifts?

Not really feeling it behind your thighs (hamstrings)?

Try this wall drill.

What is it exactly? A drill that helps fine tune the hip hinge, or deadlifting movement.

You have your back to a wall, and the goal is for your butt to touch the wall. When you're touching the wall, here's what you should be looking for:

- Shoulders higher than hips

- Hips higher than knees

- Slight bend in the knees

- Chin down with eyes looking to the ground (making sure you're not going to strain your neck)

As you hold this position, you should feel it in behind your thighs (hamstrings).

If you'd like to double check your form, you can do either one or both of the following below:

- Use a selfie stick to take videos of yourself to check your form.

- Check your form in a mirror.

You can do this drill either before using a kettlebell, dumbbell, powerblock, or barbell. Or you can try use this while using the above stated modalities.
