Seated Deadlift

Thoughts? Opinions?

That seems retarded. The range of motion is literally like 6 inches. WTF can you accomplish with that?

Why change something that already works perfectly? Just stick to regular ones.

So it’s essentially the same thing as a seated GM? I could see how it could be useful but you’d look like a doofus.

Why wouldn’t you just do hyperextensions or something instead?

That’s what she said.

That looks to me like it would put a shit load of pressure on your lower vertebrate.

Deadlifts from behind your feet are a good way of adding some variety, however this particular lift seems totally and utterly useless.

Adding a shrug to the top motion, would have make the exercise more functional.good for variety though.exercise are just tools, all depends how you use it.

Maybe a good alternative if you have some type of leg injury and can’t do them standing.

functional how? because people are always picking up things from behind their feet while seated and than shrugging it?

It’s a shame it can’t be performed on a bosu ball, because then it would be more functional… lol

This is another one of those exercises that I’ll never be “advanced” enough to ever think I’ll ever possibly need to do it.

the name of this thread alone…

I would try this, but I’m not sure if it’s safe to perform without gloves and a bandana…

2 Year fail-bump of fail.

Not a scratch on the Van Dam lift:

The only thing is could see useful in doing this is if your knees are shot and you want to take the pressure off your knees.
