The fact that we see Brian replying to posts while making solid content is really respectable. Subscribe.

I love your black and white inner monologue moments. They're the best.

this chanel should have much more subscriber

I've seen all Deadlift tutorials, this is the best. Very well done 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

The "bend the bar like a horseshoe" cue is one of the best I've used for ensuring lat engagement during the lift. Amazing content as always Brian!

OHP series Brian. This is something we all need! Waiting for DL part 2.

I squeezed the bar like it owed me money, and I imagined bending it like a horseshoe. That alone increased my deadlift by ~50 pounds and made it significantly more comfortable on my back. Your videos are super helpful; thanks for all the work you put into this channel!

Favourite channel on KZfaq, very informative and entertaining.

Bro, ur how to vids have really helped me….. I keep watching them over to work on my form in various lifts…… love the help…..

This is great. No bs. Lots of information for a video under 10 minutes. Good link up with the push the world away cue video. Thanks Brian.

Hi Brian, been watching for about two months. After 5 months of lifting steady and reliably, my squat kept improving, while strangely my deadlift came to a complete stop. I could squat 275x5 ass to grass, while my deadlift died and stopped improving around 230. I know, sounds fishy. Well a few days ago I sat down and really paid attention to this series of vids of yours. holy hell I was miles off where I needed to be. my setup was all wrong, my drive up was all wrong. I had a curled back, the weight was too far forward, I was pulling with my arms. all around lousy. I focused on your setup and starting position and the difference was immediate. In two sessions I improved from being dead in the water at 230 to powering out 315x5. technique made all the difference in the world. thanks for your knowledge, man.

These videos are informative, detailed and honest. You keep the viewer engaged and I have genuinely learned so much from them. They are gold! Please don't stop making them. They are helping me and I'm sure they help many others too! I don't know why more people are not subscribed!

Great video! The black and white cutaways are really clever and funny. Good information, straightforward, no obnoxious music or hyped up intros. Really enjoy the way you format this. Your video and audio quality are also really professional. I'm subscribing.

Everyone has a dl guide but this is probably the most concise and informative I've seen, great content

These kinds of analogies almost give me goosebumps, like the one with the kettlebell-crane. Alan Thrall shares them from time to time, too and being able to come up with them and simplify things to teach people is a very, very valuable property.

You have a very clear and concise way of communicating-I can’t tell you enough how difficult that is for even well seasoned folks. Informative and very helpful. You’re a natural coach.

This series helped make my deadlifts feel so much more solid and powerful. The bit about starting at the same position you're in when you lower the bar to the floor and also "pushing the world away" made a huge difference. I'd been starting with my hips too low and I think it was robbing me of leg drive. Thanks for the tips!

Woa, trying to bend the bar accross your shins is the first I heard someone mention that. Awesome advice man, I'm gonna try that to engage my lats more. Thank you!!

RESPECT x 1000! I have been watching a lot of these videos, and no one has ever mentioned physics before like you have(favorite subject in school); or if they do, the do it in a condescending manner. Dude...You're amazing! You're not only awesome physically, but mentally. You're like a freakin' super hero man.

I always enjoy going back over basics and technique. have you ever seen someone who never had to revisit their technique once they initially learned it and was successful, I'd say no. it's a way to make sure you don't over look or not pay attention to small changes you might make that could eventually completely change your technique. some change it on purpose to try and invent a more efficient lift and are usually very seasoned lifters. anyway I enjoy it and can't wait for the next video

I've never heard the "lats engagement" part before but it makes massive sense to me. Will defo try it next time I DL.

Awesome summary...going to have my brother in law, who is new to lifting, watch this!

Love the cue about bending the bar around your shins, will help me loads.

Man, that example with the kettle bell should clarify all with bar path to anyone. Also, been having trouble explaining how to engage lats to a training partner, but you, my man, just made my life easier with your way of describing how to. Great content brotha, as f****** alwaaaayyss!!!

I love it. Squeeze the bar like it owes you money. I'll definitely remember it now. Thanks.

quite timely... I'm deadlifting tomorrow. thanks for another great video. looking forward to the next 2 in the series.

Strength is a skill, and technique is king. 👍🏼👍🏼

How in the heck have I never run across your channel before?? Saw it for the first time yesterday off of Alan's. Great stuff.

Awesome tips, great sense of humour, cool channel to watch...and a superlative tutorial.

Even if you don't have a ton to add to the conversation you bring humor and accessibility to the vid

Breathing and bracing is important a lot (A LOT!). I don't think it can be emphasized enough. Just by applying it properly I increased my overhead press PR by 16.5lbs/7.5kg (so thank you Brian a lot). Same goes for all lifts. Keep it up bro!

There might be a lot of how to deadlift videos out there but explaining how to execute the movement in a very clear and visual way is very rare to find, that's why I'm hook to your channel, your method and teaching is very easy to understand. By the way, next week I'll be attempting a new P.R on my deadlift and I can't wait to succeed so i can scream: WHAT!!!!🏋🏋

This is brilliant Brian. Thank you so much. People pay good money for this advice. Really appreciate it. Good luck with everything down the road

I always refer to this tutorial before I start deadlifting just to make sure I don't forget. Great videos and content on this channel. Thank you, Brian for being so helpful... Greetings & thanks all the way from Borneo here... :-)

Hes just the best Fitness/Lifting Athlete and Coach on YT. For real!

Another great video! To me, correct setup, bracing, and lat engagement is about 90% of the deadlift. Even for intermediate lifters, it never hurts to hear another take on the basics...I always hear something to take back to the gym and at least try the next time. Thanks for the content!

Awesome stuff man! Found you on Oneset a while back. I'm glad you have a youtube channel. You're vids are great, and very informative.

i always (and i mean always, doing it right now!) watch the deadlift series before my deadlifting session and watch the squat series before my squat session to get into the mindset and hammer home the tips that you provide and that work for me! so thanks!!! great content! love your vids!

You and Alan have the best strength training videos.

I like your delivery man, this is good stuff.

Thank you Brian. I'm new to dead lifting and these videos are exactly what I need. Your channel is awesome.

Great vid! very informative , it's always nice to reiterate the fundamentals.

You definitely have something else to say compare to others youtubers. I like how clear your explanations are! (I'm a man who prefers over talk so that KB demo was perfect! ) This serie is right on time for me because I'm working on my technique these times. thanks!

Brian, I love the content. There are some good points you bring up that I've never thought about. I've taken your advice, put it to use, and like magic, I put more weight on the bar. Thanks for taking the time to make these tutorials.

Another great video. 99% of the time small pointers make a huge difference ...and "be awesome" should be on a t-shirt.

Dude this was almost all new to me since I've only been lifting around 3 months. Can't wait to try these tips

You have a great channel, thanks for making this sort of informative content.

Thanks so much for your vids, Brian! I literally marathoned through your channel and found tons of amazing information. I honestly feel sorry for not being any relevant on youtube, because if I was, I'd share this all over the place! Hope the channel grows, more people need to see this! Cheers :)

Great explanation & awesome attitude. Hope you channel takes off!

Why am I barely seeing your videos.... that was very basic and awesome pointers! Just getting into heavy lifting and this videos helps a lot! Thanks Brian! 💪🏽

Thank you bro! I wasnt aware of how to properly breathe throughout the set.

I just happened upon your channel yesterday Brian .....and I agree with others on here ...you have great content, clear and informative instruction with excellent explanations on how and why. Yes most of your topics are not new, but you have some great insight into them never the less...and as long as your fundamentals are solid ( which yours are ) then you will have something to offer someone. Maybe its a little cue that might be getting over looked or simply just another take on a movement pattern that your style and manner of instruction has a better way of explaining to someone that they weren't quite able to understand from someone else. Also I like the humor you ad to the videos as well.. you seem like a cool guy and would be someone fun to throw some weight around with. You really deserve more views and subscriptions! Keep up the good videos and stay healthy!

Great video with some very useful tips which I haven't previously seen on any other videos. I'll be definitely using this advice to engage my lats when I next do some deadlifts. Look forward to seeing parts 2 & 3 - keep up the good work!

6:45 helped me tremendously! i think i went from 80 - 85 kgs 1RM's to 100 kg 1 RM when i got this down! i just felt so much stronger and more steady. thanks Brian!

Amazing video. It is always good to watch such stuff more often. Sometimes I start to forget something or just put it our of focus. This reminds me to control myself. You explain everthing very clear and it is easy to be understood. It is good to see different point of views and at the end I have to decide what is good for me. Thanks a lot.

Great videos man. Been catching up on all your stuff. Your content is really awesome and the presentations spot on. Not to mention your lifts are really inspiring.

The "bending the bar like a horse shoe" cue is a new one for me. I'll have to try it out. I think keeping my lats tight when it gets heavy is my biggest problem

No prizes for guessing why Brian's vids have so few dislikes.

As someone in your weight category finishing my second year competing, hopefully hitting Canadians next year, it scares the crap out of me to think about maybe competing against you one day. Also, love how active you are with your viewers, we'll lose that as your channel grows, which it will, but awesome in the meantime. You inspired me to post my first video, and going to look at giving the KZfaq thing a run myself, just working out what that will look like and creating a schedule to keep it regular.

Yet another great video man. Everything to the point, enjoyable to watch and great tips condensed and not split throughout a 34124671895 min video. Stay safe , stay awesome

The best deadlift video!!! Thanks for putting this out. I can't wait to try some of the things you suggested.

You should do 'A day of eating' video We want to know what fuels the beast we watch!

Another awesome video! I got a lot of great tips from your squat series so I'm sure I'll get a lot out this series as well. Keep up the good work on the videos. Look forward to the next one.

great cues Brian.'one never gets enough feedback on the deadlift.One thing Id like to ask you'as'part of assistance work for deads is, when you perform the suitcase deadlift with dumbbells, you really get to feel'the work on your quads, like it really tackles the spèed'of the ground portion of the movement, but you'miss the lats engagement as there is no bar to bend around your shins. in this case is necessary'to put your shoulders back and down or altogether just relax your arms and focus on the suitcase deadlift as predominantly'quads related?

Brian it will be very nice, if you make video about methods of training! For begginer and intermediate lifters! How to progress, when to increase the weight on the main movements? Thank you, your channel is awesome! Never stop ;)

Great channel. Keep up the great work.

Excellent analogies sir!

I will put this to practice for sure! I already am doing what you said with the bench, I do super sets with rows. Thanks for the great vid!

Great vid Brian!! Looking forward to the rest of the series thanks for your help my man

I love your videos (been a sub for about 3 months now) but I do have a question for you in regards to deadlifts.... I dead sumo rather than conventional. This changes a few things (recommended war ups?) and the only video I have seen that seems to really tackle the sumo style is the "Learn To Deadlift From A 11x World Champion (Ft. Stefi Cohen)" video. She is clearly one of the best to learn sumo from and the video is extremely informative, but I was wondering if there was anything additional you might be able to add to help.

thanks man looking forward to seeing parts 2 and 3. I am pretty new to dead lifting but been lifting all round everything else. Gr8 1st vid of 3...👊going to click on link now and get some pointers.

I'll be trying a different foot placement next time I dead, I've been going somewhere around hip to just inside shoulders, and putting my hands under my shoulders. Awesome content as always!

great tutorial man. better explanation than most channels.

Keep it up man!! Really enjoying the no bull advice. Thanks. Also, you are a very strong individual!

as usual Brian great vid.

Thank you brother. I actually bought some Olympic weights for my home gym and have a hex bar due to be shipped any day. The weights came with an Olympic bar, so I thought I'd actually try a deadlift for the first time in my life at 57 years old. Would you consider doing a hex bar instructional video for squats and deadlifts? Thank you so much and Shine On 🙏🏼

Thanks for the informative tips.

Another great video. Should be more popular.

Good vid!

Awesome video, going to keep some of these tips in mind next time I deadlift.

Definitely subscribed

Good info. Love the snarky side comments; very funny.

This guy is incredible!

Great videos..Love the channel

amazing video bro. will be trying this in a few days for my next deadlift.

there could be gr8 videos about deadlift but nothnings better than "COACH CENA"

u re so fast that s the series i m waiting for ty man u da beast😃

Comprehensive. Love it.

Excellent video - clear and concise explanation. Do you always deadlift in weightlifting shoes and why? Keep putting out the great content!

This some of the best info on pulls, awesome share!

For me I don't think about the lats, it's more about the low-traps and pulling the scapulas down. That has helped my stability on a handful of lifts.

Brian, best channel around for practical instruction on the big lifts. Deadlift is my go to exercise every time I visit the gym. I practice Sumo for lower body strength, and if the truth be known, a bit of variety. What are your thoughts on Sumo deadlift?

AWESOME Job Mate ... Love your Videos anyways! ... really.. great job.. there may be other great Videos out there .. but still got new Info and , motivation and inspiration out of it! Love it. Period! :-)

Great content!

Like before watching.

Interesting cue on checking the 'triangle' gap when engaging the lats. Think I've been guilty of twisting my hands into place so the elbows tuck in, but not really pulling back to engage the lats. Let's see if there's a new PB next week 👀 been stuck at 465lbs forever!

Just an update Brian recently suggested narrowing your stance some. I have done and added weight!

This guy makes more sense than the Bible

great tips

amazing channel with quality content, so... SUBSCRIBED!
