That is the reason why I am here.

lol same

Is that real? No free weights On those gyms?

Hector Eduardo Flores Andalon Yes. It’s kind of upsetting. I only go to PF because it’s mad cheap.

@@hectoreduardofloresandalon8712 They don't have barbells, they do have dumbbells.

Tanner Jennings And? Some people just have work with what they have.

Travis McDonald bro I workout at planet fitness and I had to find a video to figure out a way to do this so yes I am working with what I got.

literally why im here rn lmfaoo

Angry Trucker not as big of a joke as your punctuation.

Very true. At least now I don't have to use dumbbells.

I hate it😂😭. I wanna change gyms.

10 dollars a month woohoo!!

Came here because I just changed gyms to PF, lol.

hell yeah...but only because theres no local gyms

@@thetruth2258 I love how cheap membership is, I love that's it's 24/7 access, and I love those massage machines they have. It really hurts that they screwed up so bad on this no free barbell thing.

I always stand on the plates lmao

Thanks

I like men. Is that ok with you? You wouldn't want to be my friend would you?

ohh, you can still royally get your back fucked up doing DLs on a smith machine, don't get that twisted, no where's safe lol.

@@imbrandon16 true but I have stability problems and there is a chance that can randomly pop up where I just cant move some limbs like arms, legs,...due to my illness 🙂its rare! But it can happen. Its harsh but im not gonna sit still. So yes the Smith machine gives some safety for me 🙂

I stack 2 ten lbs weights on top of each other for each foot.

Exactly my thought when he mentioned the box LMAO😂

Planet Fitness must have gotten new Smith Machines. Bar is at mid shin, and weight plates are maybe an inch above the ground. I am also 6’1”

He said DON'T let your shoulders lean forward. DON'T arch your back.

I imagine I’m going into a leg press

hotel for 6 weeks ? lmao

@@Rayyan-qv7dktypical military tdy

Tourettes Orc yeah height is deceiving! i feel the same way i’m 5’8 and my muscles always look smaller than someone like 5’4

Bc you’re a pussy

JuulPodJared your name is juul you cannot talk bitch

Great tip!

You can definitely apply the principles to a regular deadlift just go way lighter since a Smith machine allows you to lift way more

@@dontakeshit does it actually tho cuz for bench I tested my max it was around same but it might’ve been because I didn’t give my muscles enough time to recover

@@matt1696 I much prefer barbell deadlifts, but if a smith machine is all you have you can make it work

@@dontakeshit I have a barbell at home but I have a pf membership is it a good idea to do my compound lifts drive 10 mins then do the rest of hypertrophic work?

yeah i hadnt done DLs in years, then tried with low weight & "normal" form at pf .. 75lbs each side x 12.. & I felt like death the entire rest of my workout.

same

brah that weight is trash. It's at best 290 not 315. Smith Machine bars are NOT 45lbs they are 20. I could easily do 405 on a smith machine aka 4 plates each side, plus two 10s and two 2.5s

loser

Who gives a fuck? That weight is not trash for him. What do you have to say to the next man who’s stronger than you?

Calf size is mainly associated with genetics. If you are not a bodybuilder, you don't need to aim specifically at growing calf mass.

Hipster Black Metal nobody gives a fuck

Actually you are incorrect. RDL's are done where the knees stay in position and rotation occurs at the hip and considered a single joint exercise. This is a multi joint where the knee and the hip are being utilized. In studies hip torque is high in RDL's whereas in this instance it is a transition to emphasizing the use and continued technique of having an anterior tilt in the pelvis as well as working in the strongest point in the ROM for this exercise. These protocols have shown to help significantly with not just technique but also have aided tremendously with regards to strength increases. Thanks for your input!

Workout Trainer.com You're right and I know the difference. I should have specified. Thanks for your input.

James James why rdl be4 normal deads.?

Rymon Rules I think starting light on any single joint exercise that isolates certain muscles that are used in larger compound lifts can benefit someone in several ways. 1) It can reveal their range of motion for each muscle. If their ROM isn't sufficient for the exercise, then that person may also want to focus on techniques to increase ROM> 2) It can show any weaknesses they may have in those muscles. I you can't lift 80 lbs. in a RDL, then you most likely won't be able to do 80 in a normal deadlift. I guess it's more about testing strength limits. It's just like taking small steps up to a more complex move. Approaching exercise slowly and testing your comfort-ability and limits, especially if you're someone new to weight lifting exercises, is the best way to prevent injury. But that's for novice beginners. If you already know how to deadlift with proper form, then most of what I said is irrelevant.

I think I deadlift right but I don't feel it any wjere I do 120 for 5 reps

I have

@Cake ... If you want to avoid having lower back issues, always think of the deadlift as a leg exercise. I always focus on using my legs to do deadlifts; and always focus on pushing the legs towards the ground.

@@strawberryyogurt0this is helpful. Thanks!

@@becoolstayfrosty ... one thing I should have clarified is that although the legs are the driving force to get the weight off the ground, anyone doing a deadlift need to make sure their upper torso, especially the abs and upper back, lats, and everything in the upper body is braced hard to prevent lower back injury.

It's still not as cringy were he to do actual deadlifts.

Kudos for the Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Millawdon Muscles Mountain Trick (google it)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning an effective strength training program to get fast results minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 finally got astronomical results with it.

more to come bro!

good advice. does anyone look at you funny?

Hookgrip is the was to go.

I mean if you’re going heavy, personally I suggest you do so that you protect your lower back at all costs. That being said, don’t always rely on your belt when lifting, you will make more gains raw lifting.

For me ya because i have scoliosis

I made this comment 3 years ago n still haven't done 1 dead lift yet SMH

@@ABULLAOTS bruh

the hinge of your hips and slight bend of the knee, no?

I’m doing that rn

I love the membership price, 24/7 access, their massage machines are a nice touch too... Oops, no barbells for deadlifts. That's quite the turd in the punchbowl. Makes me very sad that they screwed this up.

@@pseudonymous8702 Yeah Idc about the massage garbage I pay for the basic memebership. It sucks theres no way to deadlift but its the only gym now for my convenience.

Sumo deadlift

Old people aee usually there in the mornings lol, but who knows your gym is probably different.
