Suitcase deadlift – how to do it right

Bell beside your foot, torso stays upright – don’t lean to the side.

This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.

How to do it

  1. Bell beside your foot, hips back and down.
  2. Keep your torso straight – don’t tip toward the bell.
  3. Shoulders level – stand up strong.
  4. Switch sides.

How long?

40–45 seconds at a steady pace: slow on the way down, strong on the way up. 2–4 rounds. Then switch sides – BLOX tells you when. With dumbbells or without weight; BLOX remembers your weight.

If something niggles

Back acting up? Knee niggling? Then do Glute bridge instead – BLOX swaps it automatically if you mention it at the start. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
