Should Athletes Deadlift | How Athletes Should Lift Weights

Should athletes deadlift as part of their strength training programs? This is a question every serious coach and athlete needs to consider. Deadlifting for athletes can build essential strength in key areas like the hamstrings, glutes, and back, making it a popular tool. But as athletes evolve, their needs change — and so should their training.
In today’s video, we tackle the reality that while deadlifting is incredibly effective, it’s not always the most efficient option for everyone. Deadlifting for athletes shines especially when working with those who are smaller, weaker, or need to rapidly build base strength. It’s easily one of the best exercises for athletes who are still developing raw physical power. However, when athletes reach higher levels of strength, recovery, injury risk, and sport specificity need to be re-evaluated.
We'll walk you through when deadlifting for athletes is a priority, when other exercises may make more sense, and how to think about athletic development over time. Whether you’re a coach, an athlete, or just passionate about smart training, this video will help you better understand where deadlifts fit among the best exercises for athletes — and when it’s time to move beyond them.
