Breathe and brace at the top, Consciously keep your glutes loaded and cue driving your knees out on the descent while staying braced. This will keep you tight af

You got any fix for this issue?

I can't offer any advice but the trend is usually the other way around, specifically bc it's hard to utilize stretch reflexes on the first rep of a deadlift.

@@aashish3295 I forget who it said it, but I saw a video talking about letting go of the bar and resetting every rep while you perfect your technique.

Reduce weight practice technique

Yes! I know exactly how to do it but training alone at home I had to video myself aswell to see what was going on lol.

Hehehe, "back" catalogue

Thanks!!

Glad you liked this video!

Dang, I'm only lifting half of that for reps, but I hope I'm lifting that much when I'm your age!

@@TheCJRhodes I am more consistent now than I was in my early years and this has been the key for me. Feel like I got a few more good years mate! Happy lifting cobber.

The bar should always be over your mid-foot, since that's your center of gravity (this is true of basically any barbell lift, not just the deadlift). The position and angle of your feet doesn't really matter beyond what feels more comfortable/what position you feel stronger in, provided that the following criteria are met: - Your knees and toes are in alignment - You can create a neutral spine and maintain it throughout the lift - The bar is in contact with your shins and remains over your mid-foot throughout the lift. Stances based on anatomy are more of a "this is the anatomical reason why you prefer this stance" kind of thing, rather than a "you need to assess your anatomy to choose your idea stance" kind of thing. By that I mean, go with what feels best, rather than overanalysing things and worry about what is "optimal" for you. Just lift with whatever stance you feel comfortable and strong in :) If you're interested though, I would imagine it would be very similar to the squat anatomy video - i.e. if you have more external rotation in the hip and limited internal rotation, you'll probably prefer your toes slightly out for the deadlift, and vice versa. Same goes for if you have particularly long femurs.

I'll do one!

Bulging and herniated discs are similar in terms of treatment. I would recommend Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill - and read and figure out what your pain triggers are. If rounded back squats or deadlifts give you pain its most likely a flexion issue. Im learning myself but am slowly digging myself out of bulging disc issues.

One of the best

He talks about this in one of his other videos. Here’s the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8iUfKqfvZislqc.html

Thats for oly lifts, not dl

Yes it will be very similar

Proportions

Exactly

I'll see if I can put together a video on that

Thank your Sir 😊🙏

Remember to breathe

@@connercoughran4677 gee thanks, never would have thought of that. maybe stand on my feet as well, not my elbows? gtfoh

Also full body tension isn’t something that has resolved the issue

random comment here but i did RDL's instead of regular deads almost exclusively last year. when i went back to regular deads last month i could not believe the carryover in hinge power from the RDL's! my deadlift technique is now light years from where it was. FWIW I feel confident I'll hit a new PR on deads very soon and with much better technique.

Yes!

I think a trust fall means falling backwards while standing and someone catching you. Its called a trust fall because you trust that the person behind you doesn't let you fall to the ground. im not 100% sure tho

@@loivamir718 This trust fall is how I was taught by one of my trainers. Get into position and you have so much tension on the bar and throughout your body that if someone were to kick the bar and roll it away from you, that you would literally fall backward on your butt. Hope this helps.

Yes but just on IG

Romanian deadlift

Not really counterintuitive advice though. Shooting their hips up first simply means their initial starting position was incorrect. One advice I’ve heard from someone to find your proper starting hip height is to film yourself and watch where your hips are positioned while you lower the weight. Anyways, squatting the initial portion of the deadlift is a good cue because it cues the lifter to use their legs to drive the weight off the floor. Squat the weight up until the barbell reaches knee height, at which point use hip hinge to lock out the weight while continually driving your legs into the ground. This is also why some people use the box squat as an accessory movement to improve their deadlift. George Leeman uses the box squat to improve his deadlift because he says it mimics the beginning motion of the deadlift.

@@strawberryyogurt0 the problem is that most powerlifters who use a queue like "squat the weight up" will probably predominantly squat low bar, which will be a closer movement to the deadlift. The problem is that most newbies (the majority of SquatU's audience) will probably predominantly high-bar squat, and will try to mimic a high bar squat position when they start the deadlift. I've seen it happen so many times, it's probably the most common mistake I see people make in the deadlift (that, and bouncing the weight after each rep). Also, telling people to watch their position when the lower the weight isn't really that useful, considering most people who are new to deadlifting (especially the ones who have a bad start position with their hips too low like a high bar squat) usually actually end up in a worse position at the end of the lift, with their hips even lower than when they started, their knees more flexed and the bar further forward away from the body. I can understand why some people are saying to squat the weight up, but in my opinion that is only true/useful if you're already an experienced deadlifter and/or squatter, and particularly if you're used to low bar squats. I think for the majority of people watching this video hoping to learn how to deadlift properly, this advice is not going to help them. For anyone new to lifting who wants to learn how to deadlift properly, Alan Thrall has a simple and excellent video called the 5 Step Deadlift. That will be much more helpful in teaching how to deadlift properly, and what position to start the lift in.

​@@DOKTORPUSZ …. The concern I have with newbies taking up deadlift is that they simply don’t engage their legs. They often ask "if the deadlift should fall on leg day or back day, I’m doing deadlifts to work on my erectors, I feel it in my lower back and I’m not sure if that’s correct, etc." I think the cue to squat the weight up is actually more beneficial for beginners than seasoned lifters. The cue to squat the weight up (to get the barbell to knee height, then hip hinge to lock out the weight) is to get the new lifter to understand that the deadlift involves the legs heavily. The back is there to stabilize the weight, but it is the legs that actually moves the weight from start (floor) to end (lockout). Newer lifters hear the deadlift as a hip hinge movement, and simply think that’s all there is to it. Watch Brian Alsrhue’s do’s and Don’ts of the deadlift where he demonstrates the starting deadlift movement by standing on heavy resistance bands and essentially leg pressing or driving his legs downwards. The barbell weight remains on the j hooks (or whatever they were) while he performs the movement. I’ve seen that Alan Thrall deadlift video and I actually do not think it’s a good video at all. If it’s the same video that we’re talking about, he’s missing a few cues that keeps the lifter safe. What I really don’t like about his instructions is when he simply tells the student to stand up and drags the barbell. If I recall correct;y, he doesn’t really talk about bracing, doesn’t talk about using your legs to drive the weight up, he doesn’t emphasize that the legs are the prime mover. If I never did a single deadlift, and after watching Alan’s instruction to ‘stand up, drag the barbell’, I most likely would be using mostly back. It is only when I heard that your suppose to leg press or squat the weight up in the deadlift did I finally not have sore lower back post deadlift or even during the deadlift sessions. There’s also an EliteFTS deadlift video with juju where Dave Tate talks about initiating the start of the deadlift with the legs. As far as the topic of the video concerned, I think strengthening your upper back is a good way to prevent lower back rounding.

Let’s take it a step further. Don’t workout.

The deadlift is an excellent drill - when done correctly.
