The weight is typically too heavy to keep resistance all the way through. Setting it down allows you to set up again and use proper form when standing. The alternate grip helps prevent your hands from slipping and makes you feel more secure on the bar.
Alternative to the dead lift? I have a lower back issue and cannot do these. Thank you!
Log in to replyWhy do you let the weights go all the way to the floor. Also what is the reason for the grip, one hand one way the other the other way?
