Three classes. Three different lessons. One goal: build your deadlift from the ground up.

Whether you’re brand new to deadlifting, ready to clean up your technique, or looking to take your strength to the next level, this three-part series is designed to help you understand the lift—not just perform it.

We’re breaking down the things that often get skipped: setup, technique, accessories, equipment, programming, and how to actually progress your deadlift with confidence.

Come for one class or take the full series. Each class stands on its own, but together, they build.

No experience required. Just come ready to learn, lift, and get stronger.

Details and class registration below

September 19th

Whether you’re brand new to deadlifting or ready to clean up your technique, we’re starting with the foundation. We’ll break the deadlift down step by step so you understand not just what to do, but why you’re doing it.

WE’LL COVER:

  • Deadlift setup from the ground up

  • Proper bracing and positioning

  • How to create tension before the bar leaves the floor

  • Common deadlift mistakes and how to fix them

  • Finding a setup that works for your body

The goal: Leave with a stronger understanding of your deadlift and the confidence to approach the bar knowing exactly what you’re doing.

October 17th

October 17th

A stronger deadlift isn’t built by deadlifting alone. We’re getting into the exercises and equipment that can support your pull—and learning how to figure out what’s actually useful for you.

WE’LL COVER:

  • Accessory exercises that help build a stronger deadlift

  • Shoes: what matters and what to look for

  • Lifting belts: when, why, and how to use one

  • Straps, grip support, and other lifting accessories

  • How to decide what you actually need—and what you can skip

The goal: Leave knowing how to train around your deadlift and make smarter choices about the gear you use.

November 7th

You’ve got the foundation. Now it’s time to level up. This class is about taking your deadlift beyond the basics and learning how to approach heavier, more challenging pulls with intention.

WE’LL COVER:

  • Taking your technique into heavier lifts

  • How and when to increase weight

  • Identifying where your deadlift is breaking down

  • Making adjustments when the weight gets challenging

  • Building confidence with heavier pulls

  • Putting everything you’ve learned throughout the series into practice

THE GOAL: Leave with a better understanding of your own deadlift and the tools to keep progressing long after class is over.

Led by Adaeze and Sam, each class combines hands-on coaching, practical instruction, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions, practice, and get feedback in real time.

We’re here to help you understand why you’re doing what you’re doing—not just tell you where to put your feet and send you on your way.

Whether this is your first time approaching a barbell or you’ve been deadlifting for years, you’ll leave with tools you can actually take back into the gym.

Come as you are. We’ll meet you where you’re at—and build from there.
