Lol

Nice

AHAHAHAH

Funny thing is, Alan got all those steps from Starting Strength

Fabrizio Herrera ya he mentioned that in his deadlift video

Too right! The main lifts have carryover to pretty much every sport played in public schools. Gaelic Football, hurling, soccer, rugby, boxing, basketball... the list is endless. Improving strength and conditioning is also a surprisingly attractive notion to those with no interest in competitive sport, because in strength training the only competition is yourself (unless you’re a powerlifter/Olympic weightlifter/bodybuilder). Then there’s the benefits to joint health, academic performance, aesthetics... The unfortunate reality is that most secondary schools don’t have the funding or equipment necessary for running 4-12 week strength and conditioning programmes for all their students. For now students across the country have to contend with whatever work their PE teacher tasks them with (usually a workout DVD or being given a 10-year-old football and getting told to “kick that around, lads”.)

@S Lawson I concur

That'll never happen. It would be very expensive to buy equipment. Kids would definitely injury themselves and the school would be liable.

@@BeardFaceSuper for a school to buy some bars and bumper plates is a minimal expense. Also kids Injure themselves all the time playing sports at school. The idea that lifting weights is more dangerous than rapid directional changes while running at high speed is just incorrect

@@getstrongby4038 yes but kids playing sports in school already have weight lifting. At least when I was in athletics we did weight lifting and conditioning.

It definitely is a movement that you need to start light and master so your core and hips come together and HINGE. So many people bend their lower back and I am guilty of it myself when I catch myself ego lifting.

Be proud of your tites

How about deadlifting on the range. . . Or . . . Yea

Nice that would be epic and also need to get rip to run 2 miles as well :D

THAT(!) would be awesome. (the range thing, not the thing the weirdo mentioned above me)

The government dont want a super strong, fit and healthy population though, theres no money in that.

@@connorw360 A patient cured is a patient lost.

too busy with gay class to teach useful things

Oh my god, what a damn good idea. Instead of playing stupid gym games why dont you show us proper weightlifting form?! Thats gold, guys and gals should DL Squat, Press and pull.

Gym trainers are a joke.

And the ones who are around, charge more for their expertise than a young guy can afford. No disrespect towards them for that, they have expertise and gotta pay their bills and whatnot, but it’s yet another way capitalism is grotesquely inefficient. Young dudes have to waste a decade or two doing things wrong before they can scrape together a couple hundred bucks for a decent trainer in this shithole country. By then, they’re fat, have a bad back, need more coaching to fix all the ways modernity has ruined them. No one’s fucking anymore and it’s no wonder. Whereas, just imagine if they could go back in time, learn all this when they’re 16… once you know these lifts, it’s like riding a bike.

Implying Rip cares about HR busybodies

Implying we should ashamed of our titties?

Thanks awesome dude. I am in 90kg deadlift and 53 kg bench press and 53 kg squats .....catch you soon there.

@@Travelwiththennarasu I don't like squats - I run. Last week i got to 130kg deadlift - 5 singles. I managed 93kg bench, and I've also dropped 6kg in fat in 6 weeks. I'm 46, now 86kg, 177cm. You?

@@count7340 That's sounds awesome and impressive. I m 22, just joined gym 6 months ago. Planning to start powerlifting.Not for competition just for my own satisfaction.I found I like to be very stronger in the last 6 months of journey in gym. Good looking physique and strength that's all I needed. I have no idea about this sport and no coaches in our locality.I have basic gym in our locality.And with help of internet I think It will go well until some level.

I m 68kg, 5'11

@@Travelwiththennarasu my stats are so similar to yours how much you improved in the past 3 month?

Good luck, they fill up quick.

JackgarPrime I’m not for everyone!! But we can agree Rip is the man

@@WarriorPoetSociety No offense meant, of course! Just not the kind of content I find much interest in. But you definitely seem to be a good student here. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, either, considering the background you come from.

Soyboy

Sometimes one has to realize it’s okay to humble yourself and just listen to an older gentleman when receiving instruction on a skill that person has been doing longer than their students have been alive.

its never better

Exactly right

keep your hips high and push through the floor with your feet. If the starting position is uncomfortable then you're doing it right. Also see Alan Thrall's 5-step video.

To be fair, Rip did compete in the '80's and possibly into the '90's. I think his deadlift topped out somewhere in the 660's at 220 bodyweight, which is pretty good, though not elite. He has lamented staying at 220, as he thinks he would have been more effective at 242. Note: this is what I recall from another video and my memory may not be entirely accurate.

Belly gets fat = calories the body cannot utlize to gain anything except the storage of potential energy. You can cut calories, try intermittent fasting, do more cardio but that is up to you.

@@FlatlanderGear my schedule is training Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays. I was thinking of fasting from Sunday night until monday evening dinner time so roughly 20-24 hour fast.

You may be overthinking it. If you are sloppy fat, eat less. If you are a skinny bastard, eat more. Rip recommends continuing the novice linear progression as long as possible, which means eating to win, especially toward the end when you are starting to stall. After that it's no big deal to take 6-10 weeks to cut some body fat.

Yeah me too. This video make it look simple to do. Maybe training alone and not having someone checking my form is what's stopping me. I'll start doing some from tomorrow!

@@palmlifeuk3553 I've decided to get a personal trainer for about a week to teach me how to do it right then watch me for awhile. Once its in my muscle memory it'll be a regular part of my repertoire.

Ironically deadlifts really help with lower back pain.

@@NeuronActivation Sure, if I do them right☺

They are weight lifting shoes , google it and you know

The height of your hips has nothing to do with the safety of the lift. There's nothing about deadlifts that would require someone to be "built" for them. Deadlifts are good for everybody. Post a form check in the FB group or on the forum and let someone help you.

@procu64 ... Why does it matter if you have the same exact leverage as the demonstrator? If you’re performing the deadlift and your lower back is taking a beating, you’re doing the lift wrong. Deadlift is first and foremost a leg exercise. Do the deadlift with leg drive, don’t pull with your back. You should look at the deadlift as a PUSH exercise, not a pull. Even in Rippetoe’s demonstration, there is not enough emphasis about the actual leg drive and actually using the legs to get the weight from starting to finish position. The deadlift needs to be seen and performed as primarily a leg exercise and NOT a lower back nor an upper back exercise. Even when Rippetoe says ‘push the floor away from the bar and drag the bar up your shins/legs’ If I were a complete newbie, I would think about pulling the barbell with my back when he says ‘drag the barbell up’ and that’s basically the problem. Don’t even think about drag the barbell up your legs. When you push/drive with your legs into the floor and continue to drive with your legs, the barbell will automatically drag up your legs passively. Yes, the deadlift works the UPPER back because your upper back/entire back is isometrically contracting to prevent the barbell from bending your spine. Not only do you have to isometrically contract your back, especially upper back, but also lats, and abs hard. Isometric contractions will work the isometrically contracted muscles. But to actually get the barbell to move from dead floor position to lockout finish position, it’s using the legs. Isometrically contracting/holding your upper torso muscles in static position is also key to preventing lower back stress during the deadlift. Do the deadlift with an empty bar and you should feel your leg muscles working for the entire duration of the movement. That should be the same feeling you get when doing weighted deadlifts. If you still can’t feel your legs working, try using a trapbar first to actually feel the legs working. You’re driving your legs into the floor for the entire duration of the lift. Anytime, the barbell leaves contact with your legs, you have a higher chance of stressing the lower back, especially when you’re bent over. Bend over in the deadlift position with an empty bar. Position the bar at various increments directly below your head, chest, abs, and then actually touching your shins. The further away the barbell is from your shins, the more you’ll feel your lower back stressed.

You look more like a Bubba Robertson than a Carlos Fernandez.

If you cannot get your back into extension at the bottom of the deadlift, you may need to start with rack pulls at an appropriate height. If you post a form check video either to the Starting Strength subreddit or to the startingstrength.com forums, they will be able to help you out. There's also great advice to be had in the nutrition forums.

I hit the gym anywhere between 9 AM and noon, always empty or close to it.

my homegym is always empty :D
