He's literally lifting with his spine wtf, bend your knees and use your legs

The purpose of exercise is not to move the lymphatic fluid 😂😂. Sure, it’s a feature, but to say it’s the purpose is dumb. The purpose of EXERCISE is strength, cardiovascular endurnace, or flexibility. The purpose of basic movement is survival, acquire food, complete required tasks, avoid danger. Improving the circulation of the lymphatic fluid is a byproduct, one that can be accomplished with massage and deep breathing.

On the surface, he's got the right attitude, but in support? Facts? Bit of the word salad method there. Mis-pronunciation of muscle groups is a lil' ol' red flag too...

The guy attempting to lift what looks like 455 lbs has terrible form, and in my eyes "not big enough" to be pulling that kind of weight. I've watched some Ronnie Coleman reaction videos and already know what he'd be saying. "Bro, you ain't got the back or legs for that. Way, wayyyy too much weight."

This is fucking stupid. First one has way more injury risk

What a load of bullshit. Lifting stones is an awesome way of building strength but how does that mean deadlifts are somehow …dangerous?

I’ve injured my back twice in my 20 years of lifting. Both from deadlifts. I’ve learned my lesson. It’s just not worth it.

I dud tgat lifting a pool table. Deadlifts fixed it.

So a man who's good at lifting versus a man who's doing a deadlift with poor form and obviously too much weight? Yes, the problem with deadlifting like he was could be injury. I can deadlift that much no problem. Make sure your form is good, and don't egolift!

Unless you're a competitive power lifter stay away from ego lifting. Its not worth a lifetime of chronic pain.

Perfect way to get a hernia

Lol. Not even comparable. This second guy didnt need to use so much load for deadlifts to be useful . First guy used leverages and didnt load his posterior chain in same way as with deadlift barbell. Just not the same- first guy used knowledge and skill, second guy was just stuid and deserved pain. No need for so many plates with such form as he has.

I’m 43 and never been more into fitness but I find I keep hurting myself. As a result, I refuse to compete or do anything that could cause me to hurt myself, certainly not videoing myself to show how much I “can lift”.

Um...im not a professional lifter, but from what little I know: if you feel pops in your back from lifting, you lifted too heavy, with a bad technique, or both. My dad is an old fart retiree, and often get with other old fart retirees so i grew up with various stories about peiple throwing out their back, and ALL of them was doing "functional" things like work. And almost every case was them reflecting on how they caused the issue due to their own ego/carelessness. It comes down to technique and proper load. Not gym equipment vs rocks.

The guy doing the deadlift is using bad technique and that's the only reason he got hurt. Misleading video.

I've popped my SI deadlifting. It comes from a weakness in the glutes and abductors. I still deadlift though.

5x5 program had me start with an empty bar then load up 5 pounds a week using the 2.5 plates. Over time, your body adjusts.

This why I don’t mess with deadlifts. I’m sure there are benefits to it but the drawbacks aren’t worth it and it’s not a natural movement to me. Neither does it feel natural to me.

Ah yes, another “modern life exercises” are unnatural and “caveman routines” are good because…lifting rocks and stuff is what our ancestors did so…it’s good? 😂😂😂. Lifting in the gym is the safest environment for lifting. GTFO with your pebbles Flintstone.

Injury for likes NEVER WORTH IT. INJURY FOR LIFE KISS WORKING OUT GOODBYE 😢

You can dead lift heavy and nothing will go wrong but just by twisting your body just to pick up a spoon off a bench can pinch your nerves or slip a disk.

Barbells don’t “herniate” discs. Being a moron causes injury.

Deadlifts are beyond pointless! They cause more wear and fatigue than anything positive they provide.

I use a hex bar for deadlift, center of gravity feels a lot safer for the spine.

I stopped deadlifting over a year ago...its not worth it man.

Weighs are for shinny muscles.

the problem is you buddy

No, YOU herniated your disc. Safety record for Deadlifting is better than lifting stones and strongman.

Your form when dead lifting a barbell that is FAR too heavy for you is the reason why you snapped your stuff up. Try lighter weights until you build up the required muscle to keep good form with this much weight. Lifting stones like that with good form is MUCH harder than deadlifting with good form. Good form btw, for those who dont know, is the manner in which you positioin your body in order to protect yourself from injury. The strongest man in the world can snap himself up if he uses bad form lifting weights beyond his capacity.

how much you guys think that rock weighs?

That deadlift technique was really poor. Damn, that hurt!

Pause the video right before he drops it. You'll see why he got hurt with his rounded out back and poor form. Deadlift properly, don't ever sacrifice form and you'll be fine.

doctor said i had arthritis and started doing deadlifts and my back pain went away

Reminds me of the 12 years I spent lifting and carrying granite counter tops.

Wtf is that deadlift form? Might as well squat it if you're going to bend your knees so much.

🔥🔥🔥

Bad info

You herniate your discs from having a weak back, not from deadlifting.

Sooo cool video, horribly inaccurate. Your body is good at what you train it to do. You spend your whole life lifting stones you’ll be Good at lifting stones

Deadlift form was awful. Rounded back, shoulders not packed and were drooping down, probably didn't pull slack out of the bar. Ouch.

This has got to be the top 5 dumbest videos I have ever seen

The dude deadlifting has horrific form. That’s why he got hurt. Not because deadlifting is inherently bad.

I hope this is a joke.

Not a problem with deadlifts. It's a problem with you.

this is why i don't do deadlifts, but sadly there isn't any perfect replacement exercise

Life was so much simpler when I was in my 20s and had intact Collagen and annulus rings, I felt like superman

That’s one of the reasons you wear a belt. I don’t like them, but I’m not good enough at bracing without it. Anything over 200 lbs a belt should be used

And this is why you don't ego lift... Train safe! Less weight, GOOD form, more reps! Injury fucks us!

Great video Mike. I'm curious, would raw, unpasteurized honey behave the same way as "simple sugar" in feeding your mitochondria to help boost your temperature regulation?

Results came in, after 7 months of back pain i join the hernia gang!
