Here is an article from T-Nation written by Mike Robertson. The article gives great insight into the different deadlift variations along with the mechanical advantages and disadvantages of each. It is a short read, but filled with some great information.

Glad to see that their winter training at Ultimate Impact is paying off! Awesome work guys…

For the ball to travel to the intended target (8ft target on the wall) Christine MUST explode upward from the bottom of her squat position. By doing this she is creating a triple extension of her hip, knee and ankle joints hence producing maximum power. This “triple extension” is seen in most of our functional movements because it is highly efficient.
