[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I learned how to deadlift properly from all of your videos, along with Alan Thrall's, they are really helpful

I saw curls in a Brian Alsruhe video. My worldview is shattered.

[@wmlongboard]

HE CURLED, SOMONE TELL JUJI!! Great vid dude verry informative

[@nanananagoodbye8765]

Taking the slack out of EVERYTHING! For some click. For others click and bend. For me snap, crackle, and pop! 😂 Great video Mr. Alsruhe!

[@dereisensani]

Now I have to eat rice krispies after the workout😂😂😂. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@Bellroysg]

Thanks for the time markers

[@coachbobkapustka4803]

1:40 wow! this a great explanation thank u.

[@TheDhammaHub]

I lately steppes half an inch wider on my sumo deadlift, twisted my hands a bit more aggressively outwards and looked down the entire time. Made all the difference for me!

[@Bromancer]

Thanks very much for this information Brian, I've been stuck on deadlifts for so long as well as constant re-occurring injuries. Your information for correct form and mental queues have been a life saver, and I can only imagine my future self will appreciate you even more when I don't turn into a crumpled mess of an old man.

[@dereisensani]

Just found your channel.... Subscribed. Great content I have to say... Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@paulmartinez4605]

This man is very inspiring.

[@CursedWheelieBin]

This'll be a great refresher when my gym reopens in Autumn

[@helphowdoinputusername3571]

Autumn next year.

[@TheMurray313]

That’s crazy. Our gyms never closed! Sorry for your loss . You should move to a business friendly state.

[@mikeandridge9641]

Love these. Thank you. As an older lifter, my PR's may in my rearview mirror, but I'm more comfortable doing them, and don't shy away from them--and be able to stay strong'ish:)

[@atomicfrost8624]

Thanks for the tips Brian. Totally guilty of not packing the lats and wonky head position. Tomorrow is deadlift day and I can't wait to put these tips into practice. Looking forward to part 3.

[@logand5996]

Deads have just never clicked for me like squats. Hoping one of the cues in this series translates over to the movement, always a miscommunication between the brain and body

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

Have you tried sumo deadlifts? They are a squattier version of the deadlift

[@Marcus_PG]

Those links to different parts of the video in the description are mega useful 👍

[@wowsley89]

You're the best, Brian! Can't wait for PT. 3 and the new shirts!

[@mikefoster282]

Appreciate the professional quality of your work!!

[@paragmehta7240]

Very nice

[@basssince6th114]

Perfect about to go so speed squats and pulls . Great watch before I go to the gym!

[@joelepera3267]

Thank you!

[@brandonshartzer7807]

Love the content Brian! And I hope you do a simple changes for better squat performance because my squat needs a lot of help and when I need help my default is to go to your channel because of the great information!

[@carvinclark]

Thanks brother! Hope you’re doing well! Appreciate ya 👍🏼

[@a.schnitzer9325]

Very helpful, as Always! Thank you.

[@JaMeshuggah]

Thank you Sensei

[@johne7212]

Thanks for all of these great videos, Brian.

[@bretthusband8478]

Great content! Today is also back day sooo deadlifts it is!

[@ronin_9]

Awesome video Brian!!

[@mjpalumberi1]

Great content as always Brian!

[@stoempert]

Being of the T-REX build there's very little room for error, i need every millimeter of tightness and better leverage i can get. Invaluable tips on pulling slack and getting tight.

[@rivaldad88]

I’m far ahead of where I was one year ago, thanks for that!

[@Tarek-tm9jd]

As usual great video! Would love a video on the difference between pulling the slack between conventional and sumo stance deadlifts. I have no issue with the former, but the latter is a bit tricky

[@jubilantyogurt]

To the point, really good advice and examples. Also I dont think I've ever seen a cat-deadlift that looked as safe as yours :D Your back muscles are hella strong

[@MrHatchbody]

Appreciate the video

[@ArtbyPaulPetro]

the twisty twisty hand comment made me lol! great vid! your channel has helped me improve my deadlift so much this past year!

[@stefantanase5102]

Power!

[@NinjaofApathy]

Brian, I am a long time subscriber, so I will openly admit I haven't yet watched this full video. But I want to be early to ask a question... I would love to hear your opinion on cervical spine protection through strength training (and obviously Grappling) I have a strong neck (relatively) but nonetheless I have still been challenged in truly protecting my spine by proper bracing of the neck. It would be appreciated if you could talk to us about protecting our spines in the neck area in your own experience. Thank you for your videos, they are important to me and many other people.

[@jessebuter9968]

Good vid!

[@TheRealJeromeSantos]

Early for the video Late for work

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

same for the squat please!

[@Fortress333]

Finally someone who doesn't use fake plates.

[@yaddi3434]

Probably the same physics when using a tow strap to pull a vehicle out of the mud. I never thought about that!

[@Eee00123]

Email sent, can't wait for the new merch!

[@flippino35]

i tried the neck packing cue and it definitely made a difference!

[@X0rDuS]

Where do you find it´s best to breath in before you lift ? i do something like a cat back (while having my hands on the bar),breathe and then try extend to a neutral back as much as possible but i feel like i am not getting my back as neutral as i want it to be, like the air is in my way, preventing me from extending my back further (i am not fat :D )

[@bmstylee]

New shirts? You have my attention.

[@austin1990ism]

What is happening and what should you do if your deadlift is regressing? Even though all other lifts are progressing.

[@Bearded360]

Belly breath, bar slack and tight lats was a game changer. Thank you Brian!

[@kettlebells-ez9xi]

Fork yeah Brian

[@petrischoltz3541]

My lumbar spine is still “loose” when pushing from the floor. As soon as I start to push it bend. I have followed all these step kinda religiously when deadlifting, but I can’t seem to fix this 🤕 Any suggestions as to why this might happen?

[@youssef2575]

Make sure that you take a deep breath and squeeze both your lats and your abs

[@wezedwards234]

Personally, I find that if I'm sufficiently tight prior to dropping my hips to get into position, the hip drop takes away the slack and causes the bar to "float"

[@wigletron2846]

Sometimes the hip drop is enough to get the weight off the ground too

[@humanen1900]

Feels like I can't deadlift until you release nr 3. Can you hurry up a little... please.

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

You don’t need every piece of info to lift. The biggest parts are being consistent, training on a smart program with effort, and getting proper sleep and nutrition. Doing will get you much further than knowing

[@rapidjoespeed]

😀💪👍

[@abdul_sattar_9271]

I deadlift on stiff bar and pulling the slack out of the bar is simply not possible as the it is not whipy like a deadlift bar, therefore making me very slow of the floor.

[@shawnbrownfield9857]

I've been gone for awhile....wheres the gym?and everybody else?

[@kredonystus7768]

Because of Nurgle's rot the gym is shut (hopefully temporarily) and some of the equipment is moved to Brian's new house.

[@HickLif3]

@@kredonystus7768 I bet the gym itself is back open, but he is still very immunocompromised so he doesn't go out

[@santiarenas9028]

The amount of “jerk” said in this video made me a tad uncomfortable

[@BigHalfSteps]

Could've been a great way to introduce a beef jerky sponsor with that amount of jerking.

[@mikeb9396]

He says you can't curl what you deadlift then curls what he deadlifts... LOL!

Twisty Twisty hand????🤣🤣🤣

[@ManRandom02]

Dude plz clean that barbell

[@mactish4439]

If you’re gonna steal Kabuki’s bracing analogies, at least give credit to them

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You should do your homework and look at when I made that analogy in a video 7 years ago

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

It is in the playlist literally linked to this video...you should do some research before you make claims like that

[@Bearded360]

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial you just responded to a dude with a profile of guns and poses. Don’t waste your time on the energy wasters.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Truth

[@benrhys5441]

Personally if I was to wrongfully accuse @Brian Alsruhe of something, I’d be ever so apologetic. Ex counter-terrorism, martial arts and competitive strongman is not a combination to upset

[@Halfpasttime]

Thanks ! This is really helpful ! And also... T-SHIRTS ! Yes ! Finally ! I only have like 5 from you 😅
