3 Tips For A BIGGER Deadlift

[@Santiago88S2]

His deadlift technique is perfectly executed

[@ck-rd2ce]

Look at what happens to his hips, shoulders and the bar before the bar leaves the floor....the body has to autocorrect for heavy weights

[@mihailmilev9909]

​@@ck-rd2ce interesting

[@mihailmilev9909]

​@@ck-rd2ce what does this mean about his technique tho?

[@ck-rd2ce]

@@mihailmilev9909 That since the hips rise, shoulders move back to just in front of the bar and bar moves back over mid foot, it makes sense to set up in the position the bar will leave the floor

[@NTLMBigBench]

@@ck-rd2ce I mean, do you deadlift as much as him or even close? If not, you aint really qualified to correct him

[@busyrand]

Big Russ is an inspiration. His physique has continued to develop through the years. Shout to him for lifting so long, relatively injury free.

Dude his form is impeccable on top of his body being perfect for deadlift. Could you imagine if he was a 300lb monster what he would be pulling?!

[@CayleLutz]

Wouldn't be much stronger believe it or not. Funny enough powerlifters and strong men have different builds for this reason. Powerlifters are weight classed so he would just lose a ton of relative strength actually. Where as strong men would greatly benefit from having some extra chest fat for a log press for example giving them extra space to rest the log.

[@WolfManJammer]

I never really knew what big weight was until I started down the road at wanting to get better at the deadlift. My friend and former coach happened to be one of the best on the planet and pulled 880 after a double hip replacement. Some people are super human.

[@tamas9402]

Hmm I wonder why he needed two hip replacements...

[@m5902]

peds pushed him over the top and the rest of his body coundnt keep up. And voila here comes the problem.@@tamas9402

[@imperialraiden8259]

That wiggling into position and making your arms long are underrated cues. I also like to think of making myself as tall as I can while I'm wiggling myself and taking the slack out of the bar. Has worked wonders.

[@nexus5648]

What does pulling the slack out of the bar mean?

[@imperialraiden8259]

@@nexus5648 kzbin.info6CNAI4vSx98?feature=share Theres all sorts of videos that teach different ways. The slack is the space between the bar snd the weights on the bar, and that clinking noise is him pulling out the slack. Pretty much, in a deadlift your body should be as tight as possible BEFORE you even lift. Pulling the slack out of the bar is one of the key steps in getting tight. Theres different ways to learn this, though.

[@sd534]

Very few people are best off with a perfect form like this tho, his leverages are just perfect lol

[@felixbruno7937]

Right. He has one of the if not thee most sound deadlift right now. He hammers technique hard. Many may have more weight than he does however not so sound of a technique.

Tucking my lats is what stopped me injuring myself as a noob, golden advice right there!

[@codystroys]

What does it mean by tucking the lats? Like squeezing them? Flexing them?

[@meerkatmatrix]

@@codystroys pulling my shoulders down and back

[@codystroys]

@@meerkatmatrix I feel like that contradicts "making your arms longer." I feel like you would need to roll your shoulders forward to make the arms longer. I've heard engage and/or tuck your lats a lot but don't quite get it. I've also heard not to squeeze shoulder blades together, and other people say to do it?? Been working out for a few years and haven't been huge on deadlifts because I suck at them and feel like I'm not doing them right. I just started getting back into them a few weeks ago and really trying to nail down form. Sorry for the long text...

[@meerkatmatrix]

@@codystroys I've never been good at explaining😅 only other way I can think to explain it is to pull your shoulders toward your butt lol

All 3 rules are basic building block principals to do the deadlift.

[@Zapgod]

Its easy with the right leverages. You would have to imitate that stance whether it be putting yourself in a sumo. If you have really short arms it would be hard to follow these tips the way russ does it. Youd be more optimal for bench

[@ascha730]

@@mihailmilev9909 you can lift heavy no problem as long as you're doing with good form. Lifting heavy is great for hypermobility because it strengthens our muscles. I have been told though not use a barebell as there's a chance of the joints getting locked and to use free weights dumbells and kettlebells instead. Do your own research about it. Talk to your physio or doctor of you have access to one

[@m5902]

lets be honest he has a nice build for deadlift and there are lots of lifters with great or even better techniek. But the same as Jamal browner the power isnt all broccoli, chicken and rice. I think many other lifters are underrated. And Jamal is also a IPF lifter in the tested federation.

[@DekuStickGamer]

Most people aren’t aware that a good deadlift is 50% leg press, and then you start lifting your back

[@GuitarGuy650]

That's an incorrect way to look at it. Thinking of it as a press makes people either drop their hips too low or push exclusively with their legs, causing their hips to shoot up

[@Darkcamera45]

I have a question, every time I do a squat I’m not able to go to 90 degrees without easing my heals and if I don’t raise my heals I lose balance and I’ve tried every squat variation like open to or strait forward and wide open stance and closed stance

[@jessicaduran8698]

I think it may have to do with ankle mobility. Here are a few shorts that show good exercises/stretches that help with ankle mobility. kzbin.infom6J-9oQ9lHQ?feature=share kzbin.infoW0qCrpz3oiE?feature=share Hope it helps!

[@kirby7475]

Sounds like you have limited ankle dorsiflexion. While working on that you could invest in some squat shoes or just put a small plate under your heels when you squat. Good luck!

[@TheExplodingCore]

If it's not ankle mobility then you probably have long femurs and there's nothing you can do about it. You can widen your stance, lift your heels with shoes but ultimately your form will never be as good as it would be with relatively shorter femurs. You will place more load on your back because your torso is less upright. Try elevating your heels with angled blocks (the ones people use to stretch calves). They will elevate your feet even more than the thickest weightlifting shoes. Is squatting suddenly easy and fun? Then you indeed have short femurs. If you are training for fitness or muscle building exercises like the leg press or lunges are much better for you because they take the weight of your (lower) back. While doing that you can continue to work on your ankle mobility for at least 6 months and keep trying squats. If it doesn't work you're just not built for squatting.

[@someguy2249]

Stretch your ankles like crazy (specifically work on dorsal flexion, like the first response to this comment says). I used to do the same thing. And holding onto something in front of you so you can pull yourself forward as you descend and trying to push your knees as far over your toes as possible can help a lot. If you pick your favorite ankle stretch and do it for two sets of 30 seconds (really pushing the stretch so it is uncomfortable), do that at least 5 days a week and you can get enough mobility to squat deep.

[@MI-mx3rh]

when I push my shoulders back I get feeling in my back like its going into over extension what am I doing wrong?

[@self8ting]

I think you're pushing them back too much, try pushing them away from your ears and then down while you're touching your lats. If you feel a strong contraction in the lats then you're doing it right and you can do the same with the bar in your hand

[@RustyIsScared]

Youre over extending. Push ur lats in the back pocket, dont try to get chest up or squeeze shoulder blades.

[@keegansluiiis8998]

Think of putting your lats in your front pocket. Then pull with your lats super tight at the bottom to pull the slack and pull. Also make sure you’re pushing with the center of your foot and not off the heel or toes

Listen no matter how far someone makes it when it comes to the gym, a lot of this shit is subjective. The gym has so much to do with your anatomy, genetics and overall leverages. What works for an elite powerlifting will not work for majority of people. When I give people tips I tell them to do what makes them comfortable and where they feel the strongest. Im able to pull 500+ with my technique and I wouldn’t dare tell someone to use my technique.

[@Prsethsun]

I agree, but these particular tips are pretty objective. The only really subjective things with DL is grip style, grip width, feet placement, and hip height
