I always thing youre gonna demonstrate something when i see the barbell on the floor but you dont lmao

Another topic I've never seen: which muscles are being used in each " phase" of the deadlift? Like, when you are taking it off the ground the first inches, is your lumbar or your hamstrings that are being used the most? What about when it's right above your knees? This would help to identify weak points and include specific side exercises.

My conventional form has been regressing lately, just what I needed. Thanks Matt!

I agree 1000% with this, pause deadlifts are what allow me to keep my upper back locked into the place and straight where as if I just go for the rep my upper back will round out. I’m working to the goal of keeping my upper back straight as I think it looks better and feels stronger for me.

Please keep making these videos. I will watch them, you can explain shit that matters to me and others way better than anyone else does, and in a shorter amount of time. GOAT

Topic request: different belt position. Some lifters wear their belt very high others relatively low. What are the pros and cons? How do I find the right position for my lifting (squat, dl)?

What my previous understanding is if the back, specifically the upper back is rounded throughout the lift, it is not anymore unsafe than a flat back. Whereas if you start from let's say a flat back position, and your spinal position shifts to a rounded position during the lift, that is not safe and potentially dangerous risking injury. Correct me if I'm wrong.

thank you matt!! i needed this one!

Great video!!! Can you talk about healing and avoiding tendinitis with high frequency squats, recently ran a couple of smolov jr cycles that led to quad tendonitis

Amazing video Matt.

Is Matt the kinda guy that has a bench and lawn chairs as his furniture? Simple things keep this man happy!

Love the channel keep the great content coming 👍

I like how Matt always films in a half-renovated room

This is crazy because I missed 505 at lockout from rounded back today

1:28 man really pulled a Ben Shapiro on us there

Good SESSION MATT and Thankyou

Can you do a video on bracing and breathing? Thanks. Love the channel

Appreciate the vid matt

Hey Matt, I'm really bad at hitting the proper RPE. I'd love if you did a video on how you got better at that

Advanced deadlift technique…. Upper back rounded-thoracic spine and your mid to lower back-lumbar spine neutral. The issue with me is with heavier weight. Form just breaks down. You can’t have perfect form but you can perfect breathing properly and embracing the cue of creating tension (intra abdominal pressure) to create that pressure wall Cavity form protect against heavier weight. Taking the slack out of the bar is something that’ll put you in your most optimal position to pull more weight.

Matt, it would be great if you could do vid on how to fix good morning squat to proper low bar...

Hi Matt, I would love to see you explain all this whilst performing the exercise in a certain way. Maybe with voice-overs or something

Seeing the thumbnail as a lanky 6’2 guy: Oh hey it me

let's talk about your fridge placement

If we are running a certain program, should I input a straight back deadlift max rather than an all out shitty form max? my back starts rounding after 335 but my max is 415 with bad form, and I have plateaued on programs by inputing 415. Should I input 335 which will make most of my work sets in the mid 200s? Or just do a linear progression from about 300lbs with perfect form and add weight every session? I have already implemented tempo dls, paused dls, and rdls.

honestly it's all starting position. my back always rounded for the longest time, I've always known it was my shitty starting position tho, then I finally found a setup that actually worked for me and my deadlift blew up which I fully expected, shit held me back for the longest god damn time

I'd like to hear about thoracic vs lumbar spine rounding I always hear that rouding your thoracic spine is fine, because of its shape and rounding the lower back is bad cuz its curvature is supposed to go the opposite side

Oh man now I don't have any excuses to screw around with paused deadlifts tomorrow. I hate them so much. Lol

How to fix hitching

Hey Matt, I am unable to conventional deadlift even 135 with a neutral spine due to hip socket interference and flexor tightness. But I can deadlift 405 sumo with a neutral back. Any recommendations of how to safely conventional deadlift and get that neutral spine?

I did 200kg without rounded back now I increased to 220kg and my back is starting to round, problem is now even when I go back to lower weights my back is always rounded it's like my new natural form that happens even on low weight high reps :/

my back rounded a few weeks ago from deadlift and i fucked up my back. it hurted and i heard some noise. I think I will focus on training keeping my back extended instead lol.

Watching this after failing my 215kg at my first meet

Hey Matt I'm six one with long legs and my arms are 3 inches shorter than average. I can only use a trap bar, every time I do barbell deadlifts my back is very rounded to just reach the bar, even with light weight. Multiple trainers have warned me the way im doing with destroy my disks. If I don't round my back I have to drop back hips way below the point I can lift anything. Do you have any advise?

What about bending the other way?

Nice video! I've heard you and a few others I respect in lifting talk about how deadlifts are not inherently dangerous. I've injured my lower back many times doing conventional and with as "perfect" form as I could, with very sub-maximal weight. I switched to sumo very recently and it feels much better (no pain). Ofc I'll wait for a few months to see whether this IS better than conventional for me but now I'm curious: does this mean in a sense conventional for me was inherently dangerous? I imagine the answer is "no" but the reason I ask is because even lifting 135 felt painful from the starting position. And I tried to stick to conventional for months but wasn't able to progressively overload because I kept tweaking my back before I could set any 4-rep PR (I've never done less than 4 reps). Just curious, thanks in advance

Those gta sa hands

It's much better to show someone a video like this than just make fun of them for having a cat back

You say further like Clarence Kennedy does 👀🥸🥸

Rounded back is because you're trying to lift too much weight. 🙄

A lot of deadlift problems come from hip/knee/ankle mobility issues. The same people in my small experience also have a lot of issues squatting for full depth.

hey matt what are your thoughts on the kneesovertoesguy's program? he does talk a lot on how everything he teaches is useful but not yet researched and at first sight everything he says makes sense but I can't help it and not think any random dude's program is a scam
