The deadlift is highly technical. It demands precise timing, bracing, hip mechanics, and bar path control. Because it loads the spine, hips, and nervous system so heavily, even subtle errors can create excessive shear forces, irritate discs, strain hamstrings, or overload the low back. This is why the deadlift is not a beginner’s lift — it’s a skill that should be developed progressively over years of training, not weeks.

Many clients with hip, low back, or knee issues present with a gait pattern dominated by hamstring recruitment, often due to poor gluteal engagement. This compensation can lead to inefficient movement, overuse of the posterior chain, and decreased pelvic stability.

When performing a VO2 max test, two key ventilatory thresholds are identified: VT1 (First Ventilatory Threshold) and VT2 (Second Ventilatory Threshold). These thresholds indicate shifts in how your body utilizes energy and can help guide training zones effectively.

A MaxVO2 test it so much more than just knowing what your upper limit is. Its about understanding the metabolic journey your body goes through on the way there helping you to strategically maximise your training efforts and minimise your risk of injury. By knowing your VT1 and VT2, you can structure workouts to maximize endurance, efficiency, and race performance.
