Great video. One thing I would add that worked for me, is to make sure to pull the slack out of the bar. Make sure the bar feels heavy in your hands before lifting it up. It actually helps with maintaining position, at least for me

Dude, that is without a doubt the best description of a rational sumo deadlift I have ever heard. "Narrow Sumo" - im trying it. I've been vehemently against sumo as a bitch lift for years cause of all the jokers pulling that feet to the plates thing you showed, but I can see now how a solid narrow sumo could be very useful. Thank you

This is very informative, I am always worried about rounding the back, unfortunately I'm also somewhat shy and am reluctant to video myself in the gym due to gym always being crowded. Thanks dude!
@jackmehoff23636 ай бұрын
Filming myself, is the only way i found out i was rounding. It felt straight, but i was not. My length strength outpaced my back strength. Its a bummer to find that out, but its better to know now and start fixing it rather than injuring yourself. Or find someone who cares enough about you to tell you your mistakes and dont get mad when they tell you your mistakes

I have excessive back fat so it always looks like there is a little hump when I deadlift. Earlier on I tried to make my back look straight and I over extend my back and hiurt my lower back. Now I wear a belt high up and just accept that I have the little hump.

I can't for the live of me get a good deadlift in. For some reason I can't get my "core braced". I have no idea how to do that properly. And when I lift, I lift with my lower back causing injury every time. I have tried every variation, from Romanian to sumo and from barbell to dumbbell. I just can't any of the positions right.

Alan, those are all some solide tips. HOWEVER, I would like to mention that there is some scientific EMG studies showing that there is some difference between sumo and conventional deadlift, you are mostly right here, but depending on proportions the stance can change so the head and trunk can start on different levels. That is why (as you probably know) powerlifters with longer trunks and arms lift a lot more in the sumo. Apologise if I have missed the point and you meant something else, but I just wanted to share this.

Speaking from personal experience: lower the weight and try to execute the lift with textbook form and as close as you can get. Don't worry about the numbers on the bar. Just lift with proper technique, numbers will follow.

With my "touch n go" reps, I do just touch the floor, and go back up. I don't stop at all or relieve any tension/pressure between me and the bar. This is for the early sets, or any "normal"/maintenance day when I'm only going 75-80% of max. Is it better or not to take that half-second relief pause, or keep tension the whole time? I will take a half second, half relief pause when going heavy/max.

Bro, I've been training, not counting the Marine Corps. sh!t, but for a long time. And every time I do deadlifts, it's like my sciatic nerve bites down on my right butt cheek! I always warm up, and always gradually work my way up. But my magic nerve F-off button is 405lbs; it kills me! Every year for years, I have to stop doing deadlifts! So, I'm crying a bit here, but hear me out, my bench press goal is 405lbs by June! And I heard that leg drive is a thing - right!? Do I need to deadlift! And what's actually triggering sciatic nerve blood shot? Every time is different. But this time, I was repping 225lb for the count of 10-seconds - _BAM!_ So, I suck - and I canceled my man card with deadlifts!
@michaelhudgins85726 ай бұрын
Hey, I can commiserate. I damaged by back early on doing stupid things. I worked my way back up on everything except deadlift. I have almost the exact same issue/symptoms as you. I get pain in lower back, back of right leg and I get what I call rebound pain (pain once I let go of the bar). I have fought for 405 which is really low compared to my other lifts. I have found that I can deadlift in short amounts and just use a lot of supplementary work to get in the actual muscle building. I don't seem to hurt in RDLs and Good Mornings, so I use those. Still, I make very slow progress but I have finally gotten 405 so it seems to be working for me. As for the bench, if by leg drive you mean that you need to be able to put lots of tension into your legs to stabilize the body, yeah. If you mean where you use a push through the legs to "buck" the weight up, I think it's overrated. Admittedly, my bench is only 365, not 405 but I haven't found it to be useful for me. I say, just make sure to keep your quads strong enough to maintain the pressure on your body and do something that is comfortable for you to do to keep you back strong. I think you'll do just fine. Good luck on your journey.

@@michaelhudgins8572 I appreciate your advice, but my bench press isn't the issue. I'm a lean and hulk-green 170l-pounder pushing over 365lbs and my new years resolution is 405lb by December, but I realized that June! is closer LOL! Anyway, I've lifted with Pro Austrin Powerlifters the size of THOR. If you don't know who the real-life THOR is, check him out, he's a beast! Anyway, I had all my forms corrected and critiqued! Probably, I'm thinking that my sciatic nerve pinches come from changing my forms of deadlifts and overtraining.

Good explanation. I have a question. Could you explain how to keep the core tight when deadlifting. Because I have seen some say stack the ribs over the pelvis and tighten the core like you are getting punched in the stomach. But when doing that the back starts to get rounded. If the back is straight then it's hard to keep the core tight.

Personally I like RDL either until hamstrings don't stretch more, or touch and go, for reps. Just because usually I'm not training for powerlifting and I feel like separating every rep with 5-10 seconds of setting up the lift again after dropping the bar is just wasted time and intensity.

Hi! In the context of your video, it is unclear to me why you are giving the RDL clue of not letting the knees travel forward/keeping the knees behind the arms. In my view, it makes the RDL assist SLDL more than DL. With more knee flexion, you can make the RDL more specific to DL, I have the feeling.

That's why the stocky deadlifters roll the bar away from them so they can get into position and then pull the bar back. The sad part is that every single kid thinks that it's a way to get your lats activated and that's definitely not why it is done
