Fred Ferge helps us get the Olympic Spirit by demonstrating some real Olympic Style Exercises

Olympic Deadrow

Step One

• Stand with feet under the bar, shoulder width apart or closer
• Push weight back, bending knees to about 90 degrees
• Flatten your back, and grasp the bar with a shoulder width underhand grip.
• Keeping your back flat, straightening legs but with knees slightly bent
• Straighten back ready to go
• All repetitions begin from this position

Step Two

• Keeping your back flat, lower the bar to the top of your feet.
• The movement comes from the hips
• Bend your knees slightly during the descent.
• Stop the downward movement when you cannot keep your back flat.
• Keep your body tight and in control
• Do not pause or bounce or relax the back
