When it comes to serious strength training, there’s no substitute for specialized equipment designed to push your limits. The Silver Dollar Deadlift Attachments from Cerberus Strength offer an incredible way to build explosive power, enhance your deadlift performance, and diversify your training in a way that few other attachments can.
What is a Silver Dollar Deadlift?
Historically rooted in strongman competitions of the 1970s, the Silver Dollar Deadlift challenges athletes to lift a barbell loaded with "silver dollars" or, more practically, a bar raised to about 18 inches from the ground. This elevated height allows lifters to move heavier loads than a traditional deadlift, emphasizing the lockout phase while building brute strength through the posterior chain.
Now, Cerberus Strength brings this legendary lift into your training arsenal with an innovative and durable solution.
Key Features of the Cerberus Strength Silver Dollar Deadlift Attachments
Heavy-Duty Construction
Built for the demands of elite-level lifters, these attachments feature robust steel construction designed to handle extreme weights without compromise. Whether you're prepping for competition or simply striving for a new PR, you can trust the build quality to keep up.
Easy Integration
The Silver Dollar Deadlift Attachments are designed to fit most standard Olympic barbells and loading pins, allowing for seamless setup with your existing equipment. Simply attach the frames, load up the plates, and you’re ready to lift.
Optimal Pull Height
The attachments position the bar approximately 18 inches off the ground, mimicking the classic Silver Dollar Deadlift setup. This slightly elevated height reduces the initial pull distance, enabling lifters to handle heavier-than-normal deadlift loads.
Versatility
While perfect for strongman training, these attachments also offer versatility for powerlifting accessory work, general strength development, and even rehabilitative purposes when working through deadlift lockout weaknesses.
Stable and Safe
Cerberus designs all their equipment with athlete safety in mind. The Silver Dollar Deadlift Attachments provide a solid and secure loading experience, ensuring stability even under maximal weights.
Why Add Silver Dollar Deadlifts to Your Training?
- Develop Superior Lockout Strength: Focus on the top half of your deadlift to improve your competition lifts.
- Break Through Plateaus: Lifting heavier weights in a partial range of motion conditions your nervous system and muscles for higher intensity efforts.
- Variety for Longevity: Introducing slight variations into your routine reduces overuse injuries and keeps training fresh and motivating.
- Strongman Competition Prep: If you're a competitive strongman or aspire to be one, training Silver Dollar Deadlifts is almost non-negotiable.
