Listen to these cues, DO EVERY STEP, and I promise you that your deadlift will skyrocket over time. I started using their cues 4 years ago when I started barbell training. When I began, I could barely get 135 lbs off the floor without it hurting - tonight I hit an PR of 505 lbs at 44 years old. This WORKS. Same goes for their instructions videos on the squat, overhead press, and bench press. It's the best way to learn, period.

my notes about this, sharing for the people that like text: 1. stance - toes pointed slightly out (10-30 degrees), normal jump stance. 2. hands - double overhand with thumbs about 1 inch away from your legs. 3. bar should be directly above the midfoot. 4. without lowering the hips or bending the knees, grip the bar. 5. when grip secured, bend knees forward till shins just touch the bar. 6. shove knees out just a little so that they're in contact with elbows 7. squeeze your chest up, look at 15 feet away on the floor. 8. take a big breath, hold it and then drag the bar up your legs vertically up with contact of the legs. 9. go up till arms are straight, chest is up and then lock knees and hips. 10. you can put the bar on the ground at the end of the way down but don't unlock your back till the end of the set.

It's criminal that this is not the most popular deadlift tutorial on KZfaq!

The true sign of expertise is the ability to explain a task in the most simple manner.rip is such a great coach

Turning the toes out more was an absolute game changer for my deadlift. For some reason, I always deadlifted with toes straight forward, and it made me unable to get into a good possition, and as a result I snapped my back up pretty good one time... but now I deadlift perfectly fine with no pain or discomfort at all, and even heavier weights come flying off the floor right now. Thank you starting strength!

This is the best video on the channel so far! Not only do the shots look great, but the coverage is fantastic. I hope to see more like this!

This is the best video I have come across on how to perform the deadlift so far. Step by step all the transitions explained neat and clean. 👏👏👍

This was a brilliant recap after watching every single (and I mean every single) other vid you have made. You Sir are a genius teacher and have helped me come on leaps and bounds with your attention to detail. Can you do a recap like this of all the other lifts? Rip for president.

Great video! One other thing which helps me is to emphasise that the deadlift is a push with the legs, not a pull with the arms. That way you initiate the deadlift properly with your legs, not with your arms.

So satirical yet so serious. I LOVE this. Its very informative. Now im looking forward to my next deadlift session

Great job guys. I can't believe you NAILED this in under 5 min. Great camera angles and Bree never smiles - which we have come to expect. Thank You!

This is by far the best deadlift tutorial I have ever seen. Watched many tutorials but no one explains it as good as Rip does. Thanks!

Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!! As a woman trying to figure all this out alone, this is by far the most thorough tutorial I've found. I appreciate this so much!!

these are some of the best and direct how to videos that ive found so far. great job rip.

I love this video. I played it in my earbuds yesterday to help me correct the form that I’ve apparently been doing wrong for forever! And honestly the assertive coach voice is super motivational too. Thank you guys.

the most perfect tutorial on deadlift ive seen on youtube, going through all the uploads to reimagine my technic

Thank you for such a short direct video I can use regularly

Never too good for the basics. I lost a lot of strength and now I’m back to square 1, and this video was exactly what I needed!

This is the clearest correct explanation I have heard! This is very useful and informing! Thanks!

I Watched this when i first got into deadlifting and strength training and every other video was confusing about how to start your backs position, This was the most clear video i have seen by far !

Videos like this is why KZfaq is such a great resource. Thanks for helping my lift immediately.

Best instructional video on KZfaq! Great photography supports the instructions. Thank you!

I couldn’t agree more with the post below mine! This has got to be the BEST DEADLIFT TUTORIAL I HAVE EVER SEEN ON ANY PLATFORM.

Best instructional video on deadlifts! Thank you for the step by step instructions. Very helpful!

Rip really do be making us miss the gym 😭😭

The BEST TUTORIAL on deadlift!!! Thank you !

This was so detailed and simple to follow! Thank you for this!! I've been interested for awhile to start lifting but I've been so intimidated.

One of the best tutorial on deadlifts. Simple & effective.

This is the only video I came across that shows more then one rep. Which is huge, because I was trying to figure out what "touch-n-go" reps looked like compared to "set-n-go". 👏 Bravo

abundantly clear instructions, spoken calmy and clearly.

This is by far the best explanation I have seen about deadlift

The hardest part for me is keeping my back in the right position but I'll get there. Great video!

Thank you ❤ I have been training for the past 3 months and now I feel confident about lifting more and this guide is awesome

This is the first video i’ve seen from the channel, what an outstanding explanation. Sub right away and thank you

Best tutorial, short and to the point, awesome

Thank you. Did some first deadlifts for the first time today. It didn't veel quite right. This makes so much sense and I will implantaten it next time. (I kept the weight really low so no worries and had someone spot me)

“And remember , don’t move the damn bar “ and down should be the opposite of up !! arggghhh !!😂love the bumper mood music 👍🏻

Great videos with simple to follow instructions!

Best video on deadlift correct technique 👏🏻👏🏻 Nailed It

Great explanation! Thanks for hammering on "the bar should not move!" And I hope I'm not the only one who loves the dog wandering around in the background.

I wanted to say THANK YOU!!!I've been struggling with feeling my glute and maintain a good form for a while when doing deadlift. After watching this video and tried, I finally felt it!! 😭 Life saver! I guess I just forgot how simple it could be!

This video really helped me today..and it was my back day..so I watched this video before going to gym..and guess what..today I hit my new pr with great form😊thank you..❤️

This is really detailed on the mechanics. Great video

Yes. I wish I would have came across this video along time ago. Followed the steps and what a difference. Thanks.

This is without a doubt the best video explanation of how to do a deadlift. I have little words to explain how happy I am of finding this channel. 💙

Incredible detail. Thanks so much.

Great video. Thank you for it being free.

Such a great video! Thanks! And I absolutely love the voiceover👍

Great video thanks again for your time and help 🏋️

I can’t believe Rip is speaking like normal people.

Maybe the best coach n the world w the 5 Major lifts. Well done Rip.

Well it took me exactly one year to actually learn the technique after so many failed attempts. I almost gave up but I’m glad I watched this video because I finally figured it out

This was VERY helpful! It immediately made a huge positive difference in my deadlift

We need more explanation like this. Well done.

So simple and straightforward!

By far the best video on how to deadlift

This is useful as a reminder on the queues - hope you can release these for the other compounds.

Very helpful instructions, thank you!

I have never done a proper deadlift in the past after watching many tutorial videos from different channel and always hurt my back. But now i can confidently say know how to do a proper deadlift after watching this!!!!

Amazing tutorial, thanks Ripp

I am a complete novice. This video is fantastic. Thankyou for making such great sense!

Great update video!

I love your voice , from now on I'll listen to your videos before I go to sleep

Best ever video on deadlift

Thanks!!! This is great . I especially loved the details.

Thanks for this tutorial. Best ever seen

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

Thanks for the clear video!

This video definitely helped me! I will try these tips tomorrow 😍

❤❤❤❤ perfect tutorial for deadlift on the Internet

Started lifting 2 months ago. I have achieved 5x5 of 185 at 125 lbs body weight. Was taught to point the toes forward, i will now rotate them out. I really do focus on maintaining my back during the lifts but I think this process will make my set-up way more consistent. Saving the video

Perfect explanation....Thank you ! ❤️

Perfectly explained, thank you.

Excellent! Better than the old ones

i'm a novice, injured my lower back doing deadlift because of a little egolifting. recovered and came back to deadlift being so scared. right now i been playing this video twice right before every single lower body day when I'm going to do deadlift, thinking about the cues of each step when I'm actually doing the reps, and also be super careful with the weight. so far my deadlift is increasing and I NEVER got any lower back pain or again. Thank you so so much for this video!!!

Had to come back to comment....this helped me to deadlift properly!! Thank you!

Thanks Bree, for that perfect form.

Thank you man , Good ,solid simple advice .

excellent guide to deadlifting for beginners

I wanted to say thanks for doing this video on the Deadlift. I really tried to study the steps, so that I could lift a little heavier at my CrossFit class. I have to say that these steps really worked for me. Especially the part about not moving the bar and keeping the bar close to the body. Great info! 💪

Wonderful 😁 Best tutorial ever seen

Another awesome video!

I think it's important to lower your hips (between shoulders and knees) and start the deadlift pushing with your legs to keep the angle of your spine during the start of the lift and finally end the movement with the hips. Lowering your hips will put less tension in your lower back and it will be safer to prevent injuries.

Best tutorial ever!

This video is realllyyyy good explained everything

Wow, amazing video! Need more guides like this

I wish I could go to this gym! Great Coach

thank you for the tutorial, also amazing quads, god bless 🙏

Really useful. Thanks Bob 🇬🇧

Perfect description 👌🏻

Best tutorial ever.

Damn this was so good and had so much clarity!

I've always looked at people deadlocking, they make it look effortless and I really want to try it!

Some extra info for taller lifters: I am 6'1" (around 185cm) tall and just started training a couple weeks ago, and have trouble using conventional form for deadlifts and squats as I have very long legs. I have been doing a lot of a research and came up with a few common tips for taller people trying to perfect their form. - It varies a lot per person, but some taller people might benefit from using sumo stance for deadlifts. The range of motion shifts slightly and might provide some more comfort with the wide stance. - If you feel that the conventional stance is more comfortable, try using a slightly wider conventional stance and try different foot angles. There are videos explaining how to find your perfect stance. - Buy some lifting shoes that are raised at the heel, providing some leverage. These are ESPECIALLY important for taller people who have trouble with ankle mobility. - Instead of having the bar over the middle of your foot at the beginning of the lift, try having it just a little bit (maybe an inch) closer to your toes. - This is a more general tip, but it still applies: stretch your muscles before and after lifting to extend your range of motion. Make use of foam rollers and roll out any tight feeling parts of your quads. Try these tips individually and together and you might find something that helps! I personally found that a slightly wider conventional stance with a tiny tiny bit more angle on feet allows me to correct my deadlift form and squat deeper. There are plenty of videos about lifting for taller people, and while being taller means that you might not feel comfortable using the most conventional form, it doesn't mean that you can't find the right form for you. I think this video did a fantastic job of explaining the correct form for deadlifting; these tips are just some very helpful things I have encountered in the past couple weeks of learning how I can correct my form. I am just a fresh beginner in training and lifting so I might be explaining things slightly incorrectly or missing some information, but this is what I can remember off the top of my head and I hope it provides a little bit of insight!

Great video!

Great video thanks 🏋️

Impressive! This helped me!
