Pulling the bar to chest height really makes a difference in engaging the traps. Can't wait to add this to my next shoulder day.

This exercise really targets the shoulders effectively. I've noticed great improvements in my upper body strength since incorporating it into my routine.

If you're looking to improve your overall technique, I recommend checking out Heygainz. They have a ton of resources for different exercises that might help with your mobility issues.

Great breakdown on mobility issues. I never realized how much my ankle flexibility impacted my squat until I saw this.

Can you review the Matrix DB80s?

Have you tried the matrix db80s?

Helpful stuff, thanks so much

Clever

Try cleans 😅

This is when the Scooby Doo gang takes off the Dr’s mask and says “let’s see who you really are” and it’s Joel Seedman

How about quarter squats for jumpers?

I agree with Mr Brown... who was a professional body builder. He is talking about progressive overloading deadlifts and he is completely right the rewards from it aren't worth the risk. Now does that mean it doesn't have any benefits? No but if you know anything about powerlifting or advanced lifting people get hurt all the time from deadlifting. All it takes is 1 poor lifting session... You can't expect to always do a lift with the best technique. If I have poor technique on bench 1 week its ok but on deadlifts its GG's.

The guy talking is a bodybuilder. A bodybuilder really doesn't need deadlifts, they need isolation. I can get a stronger back on a roman chair with less possible injury. It sounds like you aren't much of a bodybuilding coach. This guys talking about 100s of pounds and your talking functional movement like kettlebell deadlifts which bodybuilding and functional training are completely different.

In all honesty deadlifts are unnecessary there is more effective and efficient exercises for your lower back and back in general

The deadlift has been a hot topic lately, with some fitness coaches claiming that its risks outweigh the rewards. This conversation brings two important points to mind: AS A CULTURE, WE FEAR BACK PAIN TOO MUCH. While back pain can be life-altering for some, it has been heavily over-medicalized. The fear we’ve built around it isn’t helpful. The “done for life” comment in the attached video is a perfect example of how this fear is perpetuated. PEOPLE FOCUS TOO MUCH ON EXTREMES. Sure, an elite powerlifter chasing a world record places significant stress on their body. And yes, an elite marathoner often sacrifices aspects of general health to excel in their sport. But for the other 99% of us, pursuing a personal record (PR) in the deadlift or completing a marathon is far from dangerous. In fact, these goals can be incredibly rewarding. WHY DEADLIFTS DESERVE A PLACE IN YOUR TRAINING: 🔥 Few exercises target as many muscle groups as the deadlift. 💪 Few movements transfer so directly to real-life functional tasks. 💥 No other exercise builds confidence in your back’s resilience quite like the deadlift. A well-performed deadlift can not only strengthen your body but also help you move away from the “#glassback” mindset. Let’s stop fearing movement and start building strength.

Thank you for the tips on increasing tendon health that are useful with or without TRT.

Great video. My thoughts on increased risk of tendinopathy with TRT: many men are also on Anastrozole with TRT which have a little of literature on anti-estrogens and tendon pathology (may need to monitor estrogen levels to make sure they are in a normal range), also some men have increased lipids in response to TRT if not managed there is growing evidence that hyperlipidemia may lead to tendinopathy. Out side of muscle strength increasing faster than tendon capacity this may be contributing to the symptoms as well. Also TRT is more common in middle age where tendinopathy tends to be a bit more present than in the younger population (out side of athletes).

Do you recommend doing thoracic spine mobility work before this exercise and why

noice

remember, Doctors are just people and theyre as clueless as the rest of us.

Those are very small group sizes, p-hacking might be occurring here. Not to mention the survivorship bias another commenter noted, where all the experienced lifters could have naturally stronger joints and we don't get to see all the failed attempts at going pro due to joint issues.

Squat to depth and shut up

Crap. Fine. I’ll go past 90 degrees 😅😭

What if your squats with lower weights?

Survivor bias: The ones that don't get permanently injured have the opportunity to adapt.

Hey doc, why are you shaped like a snowman?

i hate to be that guy but that doctor doesn't look like he squats to any degree whatsoever 😂

There’s a reason why random doctors that aren’t even sports doctors or scientists shouldn’t be listened to. The amount of bullshit I’ve heard from doctors that aren’t in the kinesiology field is embarrassing.

Was that you who posted the video showing the difference between bar/ring muscle ups? I see people treating the rings like the bar but I have trouble articulating the differences in the movement.

Good!!!

thank you for uploading this video because i always show it when someone tries to squat with the wrong weight

Thank you❤❤❤❤❤

I also do this nonstop 10. Is there any benefit in it?

It's good until your a year and a half in and the paint is chipping

Looks excellent tbh

But they should be supervised. Just placing a hand 6” from someone’s back isn’t really supervision

May I know the difference between the hanging psoas march vs a normal standing on, thanks

more for rehab or injury or what kind of growth does the hyper provide?

Is it safe to progress to heavy weights? I have a goal of doing 5 reps relatively easy in a span of 2 years with 220lbs or 100kg, progressed to slow 60kg reps in 7 months or so

The tickling cue is a great way to say retract your lats 😊!

My knee starts to act up while doing it. Lightning strikes in front left side, deep

Good stuff, Zach!

Dude yes thank you.

It's saying weight limit is only 250 I weight 200 so would it hold much more weight

Is the weight limit only 250 that's what is says on Amazon worried about not being able to add weight

Arm length also makes a significant impact on deadlift form.
