[@uhsemehicieronlas3]

this exactly what I need, I have trouble in the first part of the movement but once the bar pass my knees it's easy to finish.

[@malcolmhales8181]

Same as.

[@Sheikhmorpheus]

Chad Wesley Smith 2 feet up in the air is for some reason horrifying.

[@ag9297]

Don't worry it's just the ground 2 feet under CWS

[@thetexorcist2235]

Probabaly because he's string as hell and 8'3

[@camerongray7767]

If I get it an inch off the ground, I’m standing it up.

[@edward0]

gotta shut down all of JTS now, chad pulling sumo

[@lyftny]

This video came at the perfect time. I've been struggling with my pull and looking for ways to improve. Thanks. Great content as always.

[@rdjalayer]

Me too

[@jim6130]

I am still new and find that at 90% I struggle off the ground. If I get the weight up I have no problem above the knee to lock out and can complete touch and go reps much easier then pulling from a dead stop. Hopefully incorporating these in my training will help. Is there a one of these that I could focus on specifically in my case? Thank you for all the great content.

[@Mylada]

I would suggest doing all training with only dead stop reps. In addition just keep working on the starting position and tension.

[@brunocoltrane]

what if a person (ME) is very bad at rep work? Like, lets say I can pull a single at 9 rpe (210kg) but at the same time I'm dead after 150kg x5.

[@Mylada]

@@brunocoltrane Have you filmed your sets? I can pull 200kg, but 170kg feels horrible. On video it still looks clean.

[@MrKrisMK]

How about snatch grip deadlift?

[@EvanHynes]

Yes, very much yes

[@synysterxdave]

everything in this video was gold. except for the two guys box squatting. fucking hell

[@stunart]

So funny, I was feeling weak off the floor today and watching this I realize it’s because a rode my bike before training and my quads were fatigued

[@geoffreyfaltot1006]

power cleans guys. that's it. 35% of your 5rm for deadlift. 6 sets of 3. full rest. will do wonders.

[@Shagguarable]

@1:08 waiting for chad to lose concentration and accidentally throw the bar through the wall behind him

[@sssss7026]

in my first comp i took like 5 seconds doing the off the floor movement and then it was like half a second to complete the lift

[@nilo7727]

Damn good tips!!💪👍👌👏😎

[@richwashington4738]

Chad, what is the best phase to add in the deficit deadlift ? I was thinking strength but I know Ed Coan used it during hypertrophy.

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Strength and/or Hypertrophy

[@mkl1464]

Why aren't box squats beneficial for squats? It trains literally everything except your quads. Quads are important but so are your glutes, hamstring and lower back.

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Kian Loong Mui hamstrings do very very little for the squat but if you’d like to have box squats in your program, have at it

[@grantbrown1695]

You kinda answered your own question. It trains all those things except THE MOST IMPORTANT MUSCLE. Using your analogy it has about as much carryover to a squat as a skull crusher does for bench. Not no carry over mind you. Just a small enough amount of usefullness to not be a justifiable exercise when compared to the alternatives

[@johnh6928]

@@grantbrown1695 triceps are important tho. Id compare it with a lat pulldown for bench maybe

[@grantbrown1695]

@@johnh6928 if we are still talking about the box squat then it's just not worth it as a raw lifter. Between the amount of volume needed for the comp squat and deads you are already at a good amount of glute volume. With the remaining amount of tolerable volume left there are just better alternatives than a box squat. If we are talking about triceps then I'd say the argument holds too. Why do a skull crusher when you can close Grip mention and get better carryover to your bench? Like sure skull Crushers can be a reasonable choice for extra hypertrophy but that's an indirect benefit to the bench when compared to a close variation.

[@3zeekiel]

This is an excellent video series! Just fyi, the bar comes off the ground at least 3 inches for the low-pause ;)

[@mach5jeep]

Simple, direct, informative.

[@iLubembz]

Sumo pullers; how do you pull without it beating your hips up?

[@susunsns]

Having a really good warm up does the trick: Cossack squats and Frog stretches are my favs

[@ElCapinyoazz]

I train opposite stance (conventional) regularly, rotating between pulling sumo and conv about every 3 weeks in training. That seems to keep me from getting too beat up. Also a long, slow warmup with dynamic stretching, activation drills, etc.

[@ТеодорПетровић-о3л]

some people just don't have the hip structure. I myself can pull deficit sumo, wide stance box squat with no pain, ive got strong adductors and my narrow stance squat is weaker than a moderately wide one too.

[@AllieEm1]

Weighted jumps! 😃 I will start doing those. Thanks!

[@scottcrosser]

Great pointers 😊

[@danbee415]

I'll try low pause deadlift. On my channel I mess up at the point where the low pause deadlift can really help me overcome the weakness.

[@noahripstein]

this is such a good vid

[@ethan-]

Two other good exercises I like: Basically a halting deadlift + (not strict) row. Use the momentum you generate off the floor to row the bar once it gets just below the knee. Small deficit Coan style deadlift: pull from a deficit, lower maintaining tension, this way when the plates are just touching the floor your hands are about where you'd normally start the deadlift taking bar bend into account. Touch the ground as little and lightly as possible before pulling again, or even don't touch at all, Spoto style. Massive overload at floor level.

[@yootoober49]

Thank you sir. I need all of this.

[@williameklund7022]

Great content! This channel is one of the few where all excercises can be used practically, not just cool excercises with less function just to show something new.

[@SengokuHakai]

Who were the people he used for thr Box Squat example... because I want that shirt with the dog. Also Excellent video. Top Notch

[@closegripbenchpress489]

west side gym. i think

[@mach5jeep]

Your search for "deadlift manual" did not yield any results.

[@ElloAsty]

Is the deadlift manual still set to be released? All I see are the squat and bench manual online.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

God damn. Do you guys make a bad video?

[@deepakrajotia8926]

hi sir, when I brace during squat I tend to round my upper back....please help

[@mach5jeep]

Pro tip: Use a lighter weight that allows you to keep your back straight

[@deepakrajotia8926]

Wacko Banana-Pants ..thank you bro

[@xinsanedefeatx]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2bdo5-ljryqrtk Refer to his cues on bracing specifically, this will help set your spine into the best position as well as help keep your torso rigid

[@deepakrajotia8926]

Brandon ...thank u man

[@amb2388]

thanks so much

[@mattpapa03]

Loving this series!

[@michaelholmes2228]

2:52 whhaaaaa!!!!

[@koban4max]

Question. Do you lift off with the heel or the whole feet?

[@Jp-ww6kh]

Great vid

[@MARTIJNdeolde]

You look cute when you jump

[@thi1swill]

Boat shoes?!?

[@mustang8206]

My man got hops

[@adrianhawkins3467]

Big man in the air.

[@bigsavage7014]

Good video!!

[@jamesaarondevlin]

great video

[@breitemasse]

Best dl shoes

[@craigslistreply6544]

But slamming the bar to the ground looks so cool on instagram. Even cooler if you have headphones and sponsored clothes on

[@aldin4729]

Great video! Thanks for the info! Can't wait to try some of these to improve my DL

[@deepakrajotia8926]

When I bench and retract my scapula....I feel movement of my right scapula... please help

[@deepakrajotia8926]

Eggy ....thank u bro

[@xinsanedefeatx]

Also don't continue progressing in weight if your scapula keeps moving. If you do so you'll just be setting yourself up for injury. Personally I don't like face pulls, so if you don't like those try out a high row where you touch near your nipples/upper chest. Keep the weights light and focus on feeling the contraction, try to really retract your scapula you may even want to do these unilaterally (one side at a time)

[@Pibodabo]

I have the same issue with my scapula... doctors said it was further forward than it should be thus causing shoulder issues

[@deepakrajotia8926]

thank u everybody for ur kind replies....I have figured out why I was having that problem.....actually these days I was getting a lot of internal rotation of my right shoulder due to life style...so I will fix it

[@braxtonamour]

Brandon Allen is undeniably a phenomenal powerlifter. However, he’s gotta own up to the 88 and Totenkopf tattoos along with the WP claims made by other people who have known him. If he said “Yeah they were a result of mistakes I made when I was younger”, people would probably drop it. But if he keeps dancing around this, it will never go away

[@Bullitt1768]

You saying he's a Nazi? Lol

[@mkl1464]

It's literally his birth year

[@brunocoltrane]

Oh shit, nazi apologists are coming for ya

[@braxtonamour]

red bird So what’s up with the totenkopf? Can you explain that one? Even if that is his birth year. That’s very strange that the Totenkopf is undeniably a symbol of Nazism, and the 88 is all too common among WP groups. So? Fire away dipshits!

[@Cruellabane]

They weren't from when he was much younger so he can't use that excuse. Those are within the last couple years.

[@heveyweightheveyweight5399]

dude a so called coan style deadlift is nothing more then a deadlift with controlle on the way down and then a slight pause then go again with out loosing tension . it's called lifting with common sense . to many people idolize that dude an giving him credit for shit he didn't even devolp I was doing that with out even being told it was called a ridiculous name like that. I'll just call them deadlifts with more controlle instead of a stupid name like a coan deadlift . people on here with there idolize worship practice. chad your a pretty nice guy so no attack on you man but that edd dude did not invent the wheel. he used his LEVERAGES to his advantage for a trophy 🏆 but he did not invent the way and he was not the strongest to ever do it . there people who did a real deadlift called a conventional deadlift that lifted more then he did . . I know there's a lot of people that praise this dude like he's something special but in my world he's just another lifter and he thinks he's more important then what he is because of people that kiss his ass .

[@patrickshields2177]

show me where the coan deadlift touched you

[@kipponi]

Great! I always have weak legs so starting deadlift is hardest part. I could do from knees 300kgx5 but from floor only about 220kg. Chicken legs ha ha. Those result from 25years ago. Now I mostly running and cycling. Of course 2 times per week some basic strength exercises and core work. 54 can't do same weights as 25. Still like gym it is my temple ha ha.

[@Tyler-gc9zq]

Deadlift manual? When does this drop?

[@chronometa]

I need all of these lol. My deadlift and squat are the same

[@jarilo8639]

I have heard weightlifting shoes can help leg drive at the bottom of the deadlift if your doing conventional due to slightly different angles.

[@iLubembz]

I ran a training block with heels and this is true. I could get more quads off the floor but the trade off was a harder lockout.

[@brunocoltrane]

next time they should use a kevin spacey/donald tr*mp/louis ck thumbnail.

[@Tyler-gc9zq]

And your reason for this is what now?

[@smooth_space]

Brandon Allen is a fucking Nazi

[@Tyler-gc9zq]

Who gives a fuck? That's not what this video is about.

[@Tyler-gc9zq]

Brandon Allen is in the video for a whole 10 seconds and you want to make this a political issue? Fuck you and your politics.

[@Cruellabane]

Who gives a fuck? A political issue? That's fucking disgusting. We are talking about a Nazi who is proudly displaying his racist symbols. This isn't a political debate. This matters more than lifting. Stop defending Nazis.
