Bottle Weighted Deadlift

GlutesFree WeightsIntermediate

The Bottle Weighted Deadlift targets your posterior chain, including the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. This exercise improves strength and stability.

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a weighted bottle in both hands in front of your thighs.
  2. Bend at your hips and knees, lowering the bottle towards the ground while keeping your back straight.
  3. Engage your glutes and hamstrings to lift back to the starting position.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Bottle Weighted Deadlift

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Bottle Weighted Deadlift using your free weights.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your glutes.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
