Welcome to the first video in our brand-new series featuring calisthenics expert Al Kavaldo. This week, Al demonstrates four alternatives to the deadlift you can do anywhere. These movements are:

• Back bridge: This works the entire posterior chain.
• Single leg deadlift: This requires stability, strength, and control.
• Pistol squat: This works your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and lower back.
• Back lever: This is one of the most challenging movements for your posterior chain.

Nothing can replace the deadlift - but these movements will work all the same muscles, and more. Let us know how you get on with them!

Every Sunday, we feature a new bodyweight strength training video from calisthenics expert Al Kavadlo. Al is also famous for smiling while performing some of the most difficult bodyweight exercises imaginable!
