Wheelchair Deadlifts

Wheelchair Deadlifts

A new exercise for me is Kettlebell deadlifts. Due to my injury level I didn’t think this was even a realistic exercise for me but I am on my way.

For now I have to use bands to help lift my body up. Moving the actual weight is not an issue, in the video I am using 35lb kettlebells. I expect this to rapidly increase over time.

For us wheelers this is primary a shoulder exercise. Start the movement with a shrug movement with your traps and pull back the weight with your upper back. To finish off the movement your lower back will raise up your body to the vertical position. For now this is the part where I will need the band, but hopefully this will not always be the case.

This is a great exercise and something new for me which always keeps training fresh, challenging and fun.
