Off-season training for football: Suitcase deadlifts alternating. So, we are going to now do our first exercise in a realm that would be more functional for football. [PH] Jonesey has two kettlebells which could be substituted with dumbbells if you don't have kettlebells available. What he's going to do is he's going to do is he is going to do a deadlift. He is going to go down, pick one up and stand up. He is going to try to look at the horizon the whole time as he's coming up, and then back down. Again, work to push the hips back and then push the hips forward as you're exploding up, driving through your heels, and we want you to alternate from side to side because it will replicate the action that you'll have on the football field such as in blocking, or driving through a block, or trying to fight off something like that. What we want to do with this is that we want to do 10 per side, and then we're going to do 3 sets of these, okay? Jonesey, right now he's doing a space in between each one. There's another version where you could go down and you could automatically switch into the other kettlebell, just like he's doing now. Good. First, start with a space in between then work to alternating directly into it. So looking from another angle, I want to also mention here about taking the pause out so that Jonesey's working straight down. He's going to pick one up. He's going to come down, switch to the other side. First, start with the deadlift pause where you're coming out without the weight before progressing to that next step of working from one weight to the other weight and then working on both weights at the same.
