1 study
  1. Hexagonal barbell deadlift-based free-weight resistance training increases trunk extensor average power in humans (60°/s: +38.1% vs. -7.6%; 120°/s: +33.2% vs. +0.1%).

    “average power at 60°/s (+38.1% vs. -7.6%, p < 0.001) and 120°/s (+33.2% vs. +0.1%, p = 0.002) improved significantly.”
