Pull from the floor, then pop onto your toes.
Finish the deadlift fully before you go up on your toes, don't rush them together.
This combo runs a full deadlift, hamstrings and glutes driving the hips to lockout, then finishes each rep by rising onto the balls of your feet before the bar goes back down. The raise at the top makes you own the lockout for longer, because balancing a loaded bar on your toes demands total control through the whole chain. It is an efficiency play, a posterior-chain pull plus a loaded heel raise from a single barbell setup.
It uses the bar you have already pulled to get extra work from the same rep, and it forces a stronger, longer lockout hold. One setup, more return, no extra kit.
No. Finish the deadlift completely first, hips locked and standing tall, then rise onto your toes as a separate beat. Blurring them together usually means the deadlift never actually finished.
Yes, drop it. Balancing on your toes with a max-effort bar is a bad time. Use a weight you can pull crisply and still control the raise without tipping forward.
