Everyone NEEDS to Deadlift -- Andrew Millett, TonyGentilcore.com

 

There aren't a whole lot of absolutes in training. Except maybe making sure to eat your protein. And not curling in the squat rack.

But Andrew Millett has an absolute -- everyone NEEDS to deadlift! To clarify, he isn't talking about conventional deads for everyone. Instead, he is proposing that all humans need to hip hinge, whether that be via deadlifts, pull throughs, hip thrusts, or bridges. To support his recommendation, he includes screens and movement fixes to help even your most problematic clients get to hip hinging heaven.
