STRIVE Principles
Published in James Crossley, Functional Exercise and Rehabilitation, 2021
Ask a novice to Deadlift and they likely have little notion of what you are asking them to do. Novices have no inbuilt template for performing a Deadlift. Instructors have to demonstrate the exercise and provide the relevant teaching points. As they learn, a novice constructs a new movement template for performing a Deadlift. With time, repetition and practice, this template becomes refined and ingrained. As that client’s Deadlift template becomes more established, speed, fluidity and power improve. This can happen quickly and novices will often achieve rapid improvements in performance despite little physiological adaptation. In the early stages of training, adaptation is fundamentally neurological, not physiological.
Biotensegrity

To allow normal tissue repair response over the next 2–3 months, anti-inflammatory medications are forbidden.30 Activity is to tolerance with no attempts at weight lifting until 4 weeks at which a self-guided, gradual introduction of exercise is allowed. No formal therapies were performed. At 3-month follow-up, the patient reports that he has been able to return to weight lifting and can deadlift 475 pounds “with ease”; overall he feels “70% improvement.” He has full AROM in flexion and abduction, normal strength, normal Speed’s test in supination and pronation, and normal apprehension test with full PROM into abduction/external rotation (see videos 14, 15, 16). Tissue definition and dynamic compression at the ninth rib have markedly improved (Figures 10.16 and 10.17).
Physiological Assessment and Determination of Overtraining
Published in Charles Paul Lambert, Physiology and Nutrition for Amateur Wrestling, 2020
Monitoring strength is very important over the course of the season to see where the athlete is; either staying the same, gaining, or losing strength. These changes in muscular strength could be due to training, recovery, and/or nutritional status. You should monitor your progress probably every three weeks by performing maximal Bench Press, Squat, and Deadlift over the course of the season, and these can be done on lifting days. Clearly, if you are losing strength the coach and athlete need to do something about it with regard to reducing the intensity or volume of training sessions, increasing protein and/or carbohydrate consumption, and/or increasing recovery time between workouts. As little as a 5 lbs drop in strength is an important drop and should be dealt with. Make sure the lifts are done when the athlete is fresh and not fatigued from practice.
Heavy resistance training in the management of hip pain in older adults: A case series
Published in Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2022
Each session consisted of progressions in lifting mechanics and hip hinging motor patterns, increasing the intensity as tolerated from weighted PVC pipe to a training barbell (25 lb.) and then a standard barbell (45 lb.) with rubber bumper plates. Patients were progressed from hip hinging, to performing Romanian deadlifts, to lifting a barbell off of elevated boxes, to eventually lifting the barbell off of the ground. Patients were cued verbally to “keep the back flat” to maintain lumbar extension and to “make your armpits disappear” for latissimus dorsi engagement. Special attention was paid to maintaining the load very close to the body throughout the lift. The deadlift was chosen as the activity of focus because of its functional relevance to activities of daily living, and its well-documented requirement of effectively activating important stabilizing muscles during a high load to facilitate optimal movement patterns (Aasa, Berglund, Michaelson, and Aasa, 2015).

Late in the afternoon (4 to 6 pm), the participants performed a supervised full-body resistance-training protocol involving a standardized warm-up followed by three circuits of one set of the following exercises: (i) vertical jump (ii) hang clean; (iii) bench press; (iv) parallel squat; (v) upright row; (vi) alternate lunges; (vii) deadlift; (viii) alternate box set ups. A ∼30-sec rest period was allowed between exercises and 3 min between circuits. As the workout was aimed to create a high level of mechanical and metabolic stress, a muscle endurance training (>15 repetitions per set) was designed (American College of Sports Medicine 2009). Accordingly, every set involved 16 self-determined maximum repetitions (Steele et al. 2017) (>40 to <60% 1RM) using the heaviest possible load (American College of Sports Medicine 2009). When participants were able to perform more than 16 repetitions per set, the load was increased from 2.5 to a maximum of 5 kg. If fewer than 16 repetitions were completed, a minimum rest period of 15-sec was introduced until the participants were able to reach the targeted number of repetitions per set. The time to complete the workouts was ∼45-min.
Learning about health promotion through behavior change: a novel qualitative study of physiotherapy students incorporating applied intervention and reflection
Published in Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2021

Students identified a range of strategies to address barriers that might impede the success of the health promotion program. Client log books were proposed as a way to help document progress and remain focused on their goals and commitment to the program. Programs comprising a range of exercise options (i.e. treadmill, bike, and cross trainer for aerobic exercise) or alternating exercises (i.e. conventional and Romanian deadlift) were often suggested. These program variations were seen as providing clients with choices, with the implication being that this reduced the likelihood of boredom. Distractions, incentives, and other forms of encouragement, including music playlists, post-program treats, and working out with a buddy, were also mentioned. However, these suggestions tended to be more theoretical in nature rather than practically implemented. Having spoken to (peer client), it is clear that he has wanted to improve his flexibility for quite some time. Therefore it was important to come up with a way to overcome (client)’s time restrictions and lack of motivation. … .a weekly program he can follow and tick off that he will be sufficiently motivated to tackle the program.
