The average side bend just doesn't cut it when it comes to building a truly strong midsection. For anyone who wants to deadlift or squat real weights, the obliques MUST be strong.
The Suitcase Deadlift is old school and brutal. I've seen some very strong people humbled the first time they've tried this exercise.
The Setup
This movement is best done off the floor, but if you're having trouble, you can set the bar at about mid-shin level in the rack.
Stand to the side of the bar. Bend and set yourself in the same position you would to deadlift (back flat, chest up) and pick it up just as you would a suitcase. You can also use a Farmer's Walk bar if you have access to them.
Keep your abs flexed and your lower back tight throughout the movement. If you start twisting, stop and take some weight off the bar. 3- 4 sets of 5 reps is sufficient! - SM
