I’m glad you made this video. I’ve been stuck for 14 years in the up position of a deadlift.

While it may seem pretty obvious, it's funny how many people who don't lift or who are beginners have a misunderstanding of what to do with the bar on the way down. Some people assume that they should drop it because they've seen some Olympic lifters drop the bar after a snatch, so people must drop the bar after a deadlift too, right? On the other hand, I have also met people who think that the bar should be lowered so slowly as to be nearly silent, and that people who lower the bar properly but loudly are just "showing off". Then you get the people who never actually let the bar touch the ground, applying the "exercise machine" approach where you don't let the weight plates touch between reps in a set. Thank goodness we have large pink men like Rip to show us the way.

Rip the Red finally waking up and realizing that people just want Bre on videos. Her anger motivates.

The 4 dislikes are yoga instructors who teach their class next to a gym

Man, I kept getting low back pain for a week because I was lowering it slowly lol. Thank you!

Rips just making more videos for everyone to simp over Bre

My garage floor will thumbs down this vid, but my back thanks you 👍

Glad someone put this video out. Too many people dropping their deadlifts after lock out! I see it at my gym all the time.

One of the interesting things about the deadlift is that it's badass.

I love when daddy Rip stares into my soul with those buxom Texan eyes.

2:00 Fast on the way down - just like my marriage

Bre the starting strength snack

Rip just doesn't understand how bad of an ass i truly am when i throw the bar after a sick 315 pull.

Rip: "So the deadlift..." Comments: "Bre 😘😘😘"

Bre's looking good with the longer hair

Thanks, I go slow on the decent to try to control the weight but I might see better results now that I know a quick descent is the proper way!

"...like some histrionic crossfitter" LMAO

Thanks! One of the biggest things I took from that is you need to stand with your legs so close to the bar. I think that might have been my problem in the past.

Always a pleasure to see you lift miss Bre , fantastic lift.

I was doing it this way. And changed to doing it nice and slow over a couple of seconds. Getting much better stability and reslly training up the positioning and bracing. My joint pain is non existant now.

I have recently recommitted to perfecting the deadlift. I’ve always controlled on the way down and it has caused some low back discomfort. I don’t notice any discomfort up but always going down. Hopefully this helps.

Damn Bre is looking good!

I usually just throw the bar down as hard as I can cuz I’m a fuggin beast

Thank you

Send to your gyms that do not understand the deadlift

Welcome back Bre !

No wonder I’m having a sore back! 😑 thanks Rip

Bre is gettin thick in a good way lol

Today we got one Bree Sized Bree

Helpful as always

Awesome! Just the video I was looking for!

Thanks, pinky!

That helped. Thank you.

Rogue Fitness SUPPOSEDLY created a process that helps the bars withstand the abuse of cross-fitters a lot better. Instead, why don't we...teach them to take better care of the bars? So much money wasted just to avoid teaching basic barbell care.

any harm, benefits from slower eccentric. home workouts with gyms closed have me lowering slowing to prevent floor damage. tried couch cushions, but they raise the bar a few inches. more taxing, but lats seem to have grown.

Very helpful, thank you!

I remember you making a video in the past about how to properly oil your barbell. Do you think Bre could help with a new tutorial, to help me oil my barbell? Thanks!

Thank you, is all I have to say

I'm always afraid the sudden unloading of my back will pull a muscle. I think its probably because its happened at once before. My spine is a train wreck and sudden moves tend to lead to pulled muscles.

You mellowed out since the last one

Appears I’ve been doing this exercise wrong and she’s just as strong as me. What a woman!

Forgive my ignorance, but is the main reason it's done fast on the way down is b/c the main goal of the deadlift is to lift heavy, which is hard to do safely on eccentric? If I'm not going for PR's and such, what if you lower the weight (like use half?) and use same tempo going up as down? I guess that has a different effect ... is it a different type of lift ... ? Or just stupid? I'm just trying to understand: why is this the correct way?

No wonder she's not fired. You're all afraid of the android..

Bre... the only w*man to deadlift with a mans jaded face

Is there nothing to be gained from eccentric work or just not worth it because of extra recovery needed?

This is easier for me than picking it up. Am I doing it wrong?

1:49 In my opinion, this is the same as "dropping the weight".

Suppose you purposely slowed it down to get that eccentric work in. You hinted that it might impact recovery. Would there be any desirable effects?

I get told not to drop the bar whenever I deadlift like this.

what about when your grip fails? should you just bail out on the last rep if your think you are likely to drop the bar before you can fully lower it to the ground?

Used to have a girlfriend that couldn’t bend her back like that it was so aggravating.

Uncle Rip, they will throw me out of the gym if I do that. I think its starting to limit my training when I have to put 500+ pounds gently on the floor for multiple reps. Any advice? (cant change gym, where I go is the only place close to me that will let me lift heavy and use magnesium)

And yet somehow some people consider that to be slamming the bar or dropping the weight.

I injured my lower back on the eccentric.. :(

Bre lookin solid!

And notice how her bar path didn't change on the way down -- it didn't have to climb over her knees. 👍🎯 I always see people trying to put the bar down way too slow in more of an upright squatting motion than a bending motion.

I let the weight go down fast and in a controlled fashion during the lowering phase of the deadlift. But I find myself having pain in the medial meniscus/cartilage area for both of my knees. Do you have solution or explanation for this. Also, do the feet point forward or sideways in the lowering phase?

But if I don’t drop it then people won’t hear the loud noise and pay attention to how awesome I am?

I got chewed out by bro manager at Golds for putting the bar down like this *on the platform*

the apartment below would love a quick descent. We'd be instant roommates lol

Is either one more risky for injuries? Fast or slow lowering?

Thanks Rip! Makes perfect sense. Why didn't I do this to begin with?!! Ha ha :)

How do I put the bar down after a power clean? Do I need to reset for every rep?

Wow..I been controlling the descent for years and getting sore...🤨

How to trip the lunk alarm at planet fitness.

Good thing when I snatch deadlift and clean deadlift I'm not worried about the down. Just a old faithful triple extension and let that shit go.

Just hit my 365 pr today

The only time to drop a deadlift is when it's too heavy/causing pain. I always thought the lowering is part of the exercise until I saw people dropping it everywhere...

Dorian Yates said essentric control helps build muscle if you go slow and with control.

What if we lower the bar slow? No benefit?

Interesting

This type of thing will cause some people at the gym to pick a fight for you being so noisy with the weights

What's the difference between strength and power?

Bre's a bae

Do I have to lift my heels off the floor in my squat shoes while performing the exercise? Like she did?

Rip's great granddaughter Bri is a good lifter.

To Bre, or not to Bre. That's the question.

The only exercises you should be dropping the bar on is Olympic cleans and snatches.

Is this not explained in the book? So many questions on slow eccentric work. Controlled slow eccentric deadlifting is really really hard on the back muscles, and will make you so tired that you will slow progress once you move past 2-3 plates a side. I really dislike fast descents but god help you doing sets of 5 heavy pulls with a tired back. It’s not necessary work. So don’t do it.

Bree is fit

I go slow on the way down

In terms of caring for equipment, I don't see much difference between how she lowered the bar vs letting it go. This would still damage equipment. Also, I don't believe in letting go of the bar once it touches the ground because then muscles relax, and one has to reset their whole posture before lifting it again, thus breaking continuity of the set. I believe in tapping the plates against the floor and going right back up which permits me to maintain the proper posture.

I still have nightmares about this dude who would set up a fucking tripod to record his 315 pull and epic release from the top. Turned sideways so he can see himself in the mirror, of course.

#BaeBre

Disagree, I've been deadlifting at home for a few months and forced to slow my eccentrics right down. This, along with only deadlifting heavy once every 2 weeks has caused the most rapid increase to my deadlift in years

I am a SIMP .... if you know you know!

Man Bre is beautiful.

When the pimps are in the club you're still allowed to drop it (... like its haaawt)

not being a badass while doing the DL is probably another reason Bree got fired.

"Histrionic crossfitter." Lol

Bre - always looking badass

0 dislikes, so tempting to be the first.

just drop the bar from standing :p .. i think rip likes that

Does Bre have social media?

Planet fitness:

How does this NOT traumatize the spine?

Rip was looking so red I thought he was holding the bar talking to the camera.

wow now I know 100% certainly that there is no sars cov 2,,, after the amount of spitting seen from Rip, everyone would have gotten sick in WFAC,,,, Just kidding in hope of making it to the next C.F.T.H :) ,,,, truly love your content coach Rip and your humour, truly follow your work.

Is this guy sunburned or ready to stroke out? Dude is red and pink like no human being I’ve seen!

tfw no thicc bre gf Im not gonna make it fellas
