THE SILVER

DOLLAR DEADLIFT

When you start lifting super heavyweight,

you can often lift more than can be loaded

onto a traditional bar. Silver dollar bars often

have cages into which weights can be piled

high, or as the name suggests, buckets full

of silver dollars. Often the bar is higher than

a barbell placed on the ground, which can

make hefting all that weight slightly easier

due to the higher starting point.

THE SET-UP:

It’s crucial to be in the right starting

position due to the fact the bar won’t

move until it leaves the ground. You

want the movement with this discipline

to be clean and smooth, so the weights

don’t swing around.
