Flat backs first. Then we get fast. 💜
The sumo deadlift high pull looks like one move, but it’s really three: a strong hinge, an explosive drive from the hips and legs, and a high pull to finish. Swipe through to see the FORTIFY crew nail every piece.
Form comes first. Wide stance, chest proud, back flat as a tabletop from the floor all the way up. That flat back keeps the load on your legs and hips, where it belongs, instead of your lower back.
Once the setup is solid, we add speed. Drive through the floor, snap the hips forward, shrug, and pull the elbows high.
And yes, check out pic #2. That hair flip? No fan, all power. 💨
Why train for speed at this stage of life? Power, your ability to produce force quickly, fades faster than strength as we age. It’s what gets you up off the floor in one smooth motion, up the stairs with an armful of groceries, and catches you when your toe snags a curb. Strong is great. Strong and quick keeps you doing everything you have planned for these years.
That’s why FORTIFY trains both.
