Gladiator Deadlift from Ancient Rome

This ancient gladiator exercise fixed my back OVERNIGHT. Check it out:

This exercise is called the gladiator deadlift.

I uncovered it in an ancient text while reconstructing Roman gladiator strength training routines for my MAXIMUS workout program.

It’s super easy to perform but the result is a loaded rotating hip hinge that other exercises simply don’t provide.

Making this exercise part of my routine alleviated a lifetime of lower back pain and increased my athleticism.

And I just made a FULL video about the lost training methods of ancient gladiators, including this one.

You can check it out on my page.

This exercise works! OMG I've had back pain for decades, am an amateur athlete, 60 years old, and this exercise simply stopped my lower back problems.

It's a fantastic exercise!

I got t-boned in a car wreck and ever since if I work to hard I felt like my neck was breaking and it would take me out for weeks. I finally figured it was time to fully rest and let it heal. For letting it heal for just a short period of time and reinjuring it over and over again was not feeling so good.

OMG, I love doing this deadlift version with kettlebells. 🤩💖

[mukund]

Done for high reps, it just smokes your entire body. Awesome 💯💯

[cognasti]

I did this with bent over rows. The stretch going to your opposite foot is unmatched

[keajd]

There’s even a book called Banned Spartan Rituals that dives into this kind of stuff, but barely anyone seems to know about it.

[darleenjshannon]

Damn that looks incredible. I’ve never seen anyone do this. I’m adding this one

[geminijonny]

just found your channel and man it's like you found a niche created specifically for me. Excited to try this movement!

[orangeapple]

That move is sick af. Will be using it.

I just tried a couple of sets with kettle bells and it felt great.

I don't have high enough weights for me with handles, So I put a 45lb and then 2x 45lb plates on a hammer! Deadlifts are my best lift, but I only twist at work.

[edmundomouet]

100% adding this to my work outs. This feels like an actual movement i do during work (Chef)

[J-hy]

I thought this was Merab. Way to go champ!

[amparodavila]

Would be nice if the pictures and poncho wasn't in the way so we could see how it's done correctly

[DenJSmith]

Good grief. Loaded rotation is how you get injured.

Thanks for this' gonna give it ago
