Sumo Deadlift High Pulls - why we warm up before a workout

You walk in and see sumo deadlift high pulls on the board.
The name alone sounds intense.
You wonder — am I doing it right? Will this hurt my back?
So we slow it down.Feet wide, hands inside, knees tracking over toes.
We run through 10 smooth deadlifts. Arms long. Chest tall.
It’s a squat, not a hinge.
We move with purpose, not panic.
Then we add in the high pull.
Drive through your legs, squeeze your glutes, elbows to the ceiling.
Now it’s making sense — movement feels strong and controlled.
By the time the workout starts, you’re ready.
You know how it’s meant to feel.
You’re not just lifting — you’re learning. You’re progressing.
At Sixty7Six, every warm-up is intentional.
Because good reps start before the clock does.
