DEADLIFT - Do's & Don'ts

[@quadrram3945]

would love a dos and donts on recovery! and other topics as well

[@MegaMuffinMonkey]

this is the greatest idea

[@averyborst9534]

If you train in brain giant set style with ahortwr reat period some strechting and carsio on off day and if your alittle older maybe a pump day on arms and legs for tenden and ligament health just to keep blood flushing problem areas obviously nothing hwavy set of 15 reps up ward i started training in his style more yoga cardio and pump day or pump portion of a workout and i feel great and conditioning is up so the fitter you are the less you get sore and the more it takes to get you sore

[@Str8Deenin47]

@@averyborst9534 high rep work is highly underrated. I know it's nothing new or revolutionary, but it really works wonders if you've started getting tendonitis symptoms, for me tennis elbow. I've started doing 20+ rep hammer curls at the end of my workouts and also to warm-up for upper body lifts and I promise you guys it works wonders.

[@lovelyjubbly87]

@@Str8Deenin47 I got golfers elbow, had it for 6 months now, will try high rep work to get blood in there at end of workout, cheers, how is your elbow now?

Dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend during the lockdown =)

[@ShootLiegh]

I love the "dont get amped up" cue. Theres something way more cool about casually walking up to a bar and PRing as opposed to screaming in circles for 20 minutes first. Also, love the format. Its great to get refresher videos like this alongside of the in depth stuff

[@salsal9336]

Great video. I use a trap bar. (I'm 73). Please would love a video on DL with a trap bar. Glad your health is getting better. Thanks for your fun & informative videos

[@rickcoyote2361]

Wow...I just made a similar request my friend. I'm 57 and only work out at home, so maybe we will get our wish good sir. Shine On 🙏

[@stu2729]

You sir, are awesome. Much respect for you, a lot more people your age should stay that activ.

[@bishopm4401]

The night before my next deadlift workout. Awesome! Thanks brian

[@diegothunderhawk6823]

This kind of video is great, man. Absolutely love it and I can't wait to see more like it. Keep up the awesome work!

[@mach5jeep]

Some people might find these repetitive but I find them very useful. If anything just as a reminder to watch my form. It also gets me a little pumped up when I see a new video from Brian, Alan Thrall, Mark Bell, etc. It tells me to get off the couch and go lift that day

[@xxgoosexx1164]

Thanks Brian. Great video. Always appreciate all the knowledge you share

[@KickinItAllDay]

Do's and don't for Pull-up. With ways to progress

[@jamienyeste5438]

Do more pull ups... I'll leave now...

[@nathanduggie-carr3193]

I would like to see that too! Tempo, scap engagement, ect. US Marines put out a great program on how to do more pull-ups. Since it’s part of their fitness standard. Basically: Do 1 perfect pull-up Rest 30 seconds Do 2 perfect pull-ups Rest 30 seconds. Repeat until reps are not perfect. Perform other exercises or Rest 2-3minutes. Do it again. Meant to be done multiple times a workout, multiple times a day, 5 days a week. You can basically set up a pull-up bar in your house and do it. Or you can do it between exercises at the gym. Ect. So an extreme “grease the groove”. I tried it and it took my pull-ups from 8 to 15.

[@yeetmr8346]

Time under-tension + Range of motion

[@ddw-ge1ss]

Do pull-ups every chance you can and do them weighted at the gym

[@phillipcantrell2255]

Love the new format. A do's and dont's for losing weight without losing strength would be awesome!

[@matthewayala7904]

Hey Brian, I know this is a deadlift video, but I wanna thank you for your squat cues. I failed 335 last month before watching your squat vids. Then after watching the squat vids I manage to get 375 in 3 weeks. Plus my knees feel so much better squatting, keep putting up such amazing content, you’re one of the best on YT 💪🏼🤘🏼.

[@JoshHigginbotham8716]

I love your channel man. Ive taken a lot of your programming and advice and applied it to my own. You are the reason I made my youtube channel. been following you a long time

[@stevenwyckoff9775]

Definitely like this format. I got in a slump for my deadlift because I was told to do as much weight as possible as often as possible...

[@DanielFerreira-rz8js]

Those deadlifts on bands is hands down the best visual I've seen for the "push the floor away" cue

[@brainchilddesigner]

As always, I got out my notepad and started writing. Keep these videos coming. So useful. Thanks Brian

[@xw2542]

This was definitely perfect to listen to in the car. Keeping my neck neutral and pushing the world away we’re huge for my deadlift thanks to your earlier videos that have talked about those cues. The do’s and don’t’s of strongman programming would be interesting. When to place events, which event compliment others, which events to focus on when (i.e. weaker events versus better events). I know you have talked about these topic before in some capacity, but maybe this can give you an idea for another one of these, Great video brother, this format is solid.

[@pordoncojinhoefacetotardio6337]

That thing with the bands is genius. It's criminal that you aren't more popular on youtube

[@jonathanmiller572]

that view/like/dislike ratio says all you need to know. most informative fitness channel on YT bar none. please do more of these for everyone's sake.

[@zoesimmons8429]

Great format Brian. Do's and don't are always helpful. Keep it up! Future topic ideas: -Aging and lifting: how to continue to lift as you get older. -Home gym equipment: what works and where to get the good stuff. -Injury rehab: how to work your way back from an injury. -Work/life balance: how to balance your passon for fitness with the demands of life. -Warm-up&cool down movements: what works for both. -Personal trainer certifications: are they worth the time and money Hope this helps!

[@KirkSlashEddie]

Hey Brian. Love this new format. Suggestion for future video- Do's and Dont's- Entering your first power lifting meet. Always appreciate you man!

[@filemongalvan3328]

THIS DO THIS, I just did my first comp about a month ago but still good idea

[@jimgutz2951]

You give the greatest advice for arm day I ever got.i put 2 Inches on my arms so far thank you so much I wasted my time for a few years with all the other techniques

[@syeddentals]

The conscious hip thrust at kneecap level changed my deadlift for me. God bless you Mr. Brian.

[@RR-hl6zi]

I really like this format. It structures your tips in a neat and orderly way, which allows me to refer to tip #6 or #8 instead of having to rewatch larger segments of your videos. Super practical! Thank you for taking the time to share you experiences with us. It has helped me a lot.

[@leonestello]

You know we love the format because it's from you and your advice is the best in the game. Please how about a video on neglected muscles like Rotator Cuffs, QLs, Leg Adductors, Calves (haha that last one was a joke). Just watched a Martins Licis video "best strongman warm up" where he covers these (8 minutes in) and would love your take or to atleast bring the information to your followers. I'm not one of those assholes that would hold it against you for emulating information. I like to think of it in not such a petty way as we learn through repetition and to hear multiple fitness inspirations repeat the same information makes the whole that much better. That's the big picture mindset. EDIT: Thanks. I'm so glad you've made it through your mess. It's nice to know you're still going to be with us for a great while. One day I will shake your hand and tell you how much you've meant to me.

[@dario2813]

You are so awsome to watch I mean your energy and mood make your videos so much better to watch,I could watch you for days

[@SaltyJabroni]

Love it when the GOAT posts a new video

[@johanjonsson6504]

Hands down one of the most informative yet funny channels on youtube! Keep it up!

[@dustythejones]

Your voice sounds 100% better man! I’ll take that as good news for your overall health!! I’m definitely interested in more mobility and recovery information. Be strong and courageous!

[@HardestManInTarot]

KZbin will never have enough Deadlift videos. Always appreciated Brian 🇬🇧

[@DrKenShu]

Great video! I like the change in format (especially since deadlift day is in a few days!) One suggestion, particularly for these style of videos, would be to list the pointers in the description so people can have a quick reference if they're at the gym and just need to jog their memory. Obviously you would expand more on each in the video. Keep up the great work, dude!

[@ejsebest]

You deserve so many more views. Always top notch advice.

[@GameDevBryant]

Love the format, would love to definitely see versions for the main lifts and maybe some of your favorite accessories. I read over your "Cheat Sheet" lists before heading to the gym. Personally, I think it would be helpful for me to see one of these for stretching/mobility work like you said, in particular ankles and hips for the squat. Always a fan, keep up the great stuff, so great to see you recovering from everything!

[@Sailor109]

Love the format and tons of great stuff here Brian! One suggestion: Your video library is getting huge and you're starting to mention more often that you've "already done videos about bracing, form etc" but it's tricky to know where to look. I would start adding 1-3 relevant videos to the description to help point us meatheads in the right direction.

[@andrewmcmahon6432]

Definite YES to the new format. Quick easy reminders are always helpful, just like crib sheets I used to make for exams, it's a great way of prioritising and remembering the important points.

[@101constexpr]

Simply the best deadlift tutorial over the net

[@banjosquid9492]

Thank you for this! Like you said, most of those things are nothing new, but it is insanely important to be reminded of them every know and then. Really like this format, would like to see more!

[@bobbydavis4144]

Haven't even watched the video yet, but yes, do the topics in this format. You've given me nothing but golden advice from this page, there's no doubt in my mind this will be an awesome approach to training videos/tutorials. Keep'em coming homie.

[@DonyGorilla]

Hey Brian, thanks a ton for taking the time to explain these things to us less knowledgeable. Already learned a lot about the basic lifts, keep it up!

[@ro2635]

All your videos are brilliant. How about a video on your own nutrition and the thought process behind it

[@AnotherEarthling666]

The third one is pure gold. The way you think is the way you move and anybody can feel the difference when over 70% of 1rm,when you start to "feel" the weight. It's a mind shifting process which affects the whole movement and muscle activation.

[@jonathanouimette4720]

DEFINITELY need some recovery and maybe mobility tips. As I'm increasing my frequency I notice I'm making great progress but my recovery really needs some improvement. Also mobility has been an issue due to past injuries. Looking for some alternatives

@@jonathanouimette4720 4 hours of sleep at night? Are you asking to die young? All kinds of problems will come even without extra training and stress with only 4 hours of sleep.

@@splitter696 I would like to but unfortunately with Bills and college I have to push through a little while longer until graduation. At least 2 years away now 💀💀💀 but I'm trying my best to maximize recovery despite this handicap. Hot/Cold baths, banded extensions for joints and ligaments, vitamins and smoothies for nutrition, and even working rehab into my workouts to be as efficient as possible.

Wow Brian, what a great fast action vid! Loved the format and quick reminder of things I've forgotten and reassurances of things I'm doing correctly. More of these for sure!! And as stated before, a great topic would be CNS recovery for both young and old. Tough to recognize at the time, and tough to do it right (for me anyways).

[@stnrs1]

Your voice sounds like you’re getting much better! Extremely happy for you and your family, thank you for all your effort!

love this format.......id like a video on active recovery or the top ten underestimated muscles or top ten exercises you would ban from gyms, or top ten dos and don'ts for circus dumbell press

[@gdambidextrous7721]

Awesome format for a video dude. So straight to the point, yet funny and, compelling... Idea for another topic: Do's and Dont's of having a strong and rigid back while lifting.

[@jakeku2662]

Love the format. Love the idea to put this on while im warming up for whatever the movement is. Love to see more.

[@HOLLYWOODUNAPOLOGETIC]

Hey, Brian. Thank you for doing this one. I'm like you, I have to be mindful of each step on the deadlift, and the squat too. This was a good reminder. I forget steps. I'm not at the point of it being second nature yet. I usually get it right 3-4 reps into each set. Not good. Working on it.

[@loganpratt1199]

An idea for a series would be taking common problems people have with a specific lift and going over ways to fix or strengthen those problems or weaknesses.

[@sdc777rs]

Truly needed this video. I for one, and I can imagine many others as well, get a Lot of value out of these sorts of videos. Sometimes just hearing the same few pointers but in a slightly different format really helps cement them in as cues. Would love to see this for the main 4 lifts + main strongman events!

[@billivory2754]

YEP,lots of quick visuals and phrases that can perk up a workout. Every little thing counts! Thanks

[@sahibmultani1846]

Great video Brian! any videos content for stretches before deadlift, squats, benching and overhead press to avoid injuries would be great

[@MasterfulStu]

Just gotta say, the standing on the bands demonstration was genius. Great way to show the pushing with the legs.👍👍

[@AMysteriousBystander]

I would love to just see a compilation of the funniest outtakes from these videos because the few that we see IN video are great to watch and I think it'd be fantastic to watch. Plus, it's always a good self laugh to see all of it together

[@Darksidevil808]

Definitely a helpful video. I do like the format for a quick recap/addition to your in depth videos, but I would still like to have the longer videos for more fine tuning and technique work. Thank you for doing these as they have helped me in many of my lifts.

I love the content. Thank you! I know you have a big background in Karate, BJJ and combat. Would you maybe do some videos around martial arts? Your background is so unique I for one would LOVE to hear about lessons you've learned like blowing out your first lung or tricks and tips for striking or speed training for combatives, really anything you're willing to share. Love the content. Keep up the great work, I hope the hyperbaric treatments are going well.

I really like this format. I always search for improvements on my big lifts. And also I would really appreciate a video on exercise specific stretching routines ( for example what stretches you would do after a squat day).

[@otka4al4o]

Can't say enough good things about driving your legs into the floor. Took me months to understand what it means but when it clicked it made a massive difference.

[@jayn8392]

I can luckily still think and remember cues when all psyched up. I usually get myself pumped before I setup and then go over my cues while putting my straps in place and then go for it. I calm down a bit during setup but getting my heartrate up and getting a bit angry beforehand definitly makes it feel a bit lighter. I never used to do it and decided to try it a few weeks ago and it seemed to help a bit, idk if it's all in my head but if it is I guess it doesn'r really matter either way.

[@solidmc90]

This works. It is to the point and can help a lot of people.

This is a great video and a great video idea. I love deadlifting and this pointed out somethings for me to try and change. As far as ideas for videos like this I think besides the big four maybe some Do's and Don'ts on Strongman events like Yoke or Stone to Shoulder (Atlas and Odd Stone).
