Dimmel Deadlift – Plateau Buster

September 19, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Here is a Deadlift variation to break plateaus.

The Dimmel Deadlift is essentially the top 2/3 of a regular conventional deadlift with a few key differences. It’s done explosively for 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps.

  • Lift the bar off the floor like a normal deadlift using a double-overhand grip.
  • Lower it to just below your knees ( feel a stretch in the hams and glutes) 
  • Raise it again
  • Start slower, then pick up speed with your reps
