Great Video from a Great Guy.

[@CPAStrengthPassion]

The tutorial about using the straps was great.

[@Ben-us3nb]

Great video. Good job Pete, and congrats with the record breakers meet.

[@bluedogguy]

this was excellent. thanks. The elbow queue is something I'm going to try.

[@TRazz]

Any vid with Pete I like👍🏻 and always support

[@jima2985]

Great video! Worth it just for the part about lining the bar up with the middle of your foot. I've always found that to feel better, and I've almost always been told it's wrong.

[@bigreece_7151]

Great video! A lot better than a lot I've seen.

[@ryanstott1589]

Thanks for the tip about keeping the arms locked... a massive help 👍

[@simsy123]

Yo animal can you make a Playlist with all the metal you play in the intros? Pretty sure it'd double testosterone in training 😂

[@TheSyedameruddin15]

Man. I love you. Thank you very much for this. I just, literally just followed your instructions. Hit a new PR. Once again, you're the man. Thanks

[@Sophomorechance]

[@JoseRodriguez-pq5sz]

Animal. Pleas a video on beyond squats. I mean we have Richard hawthorn Pete rubbish and the boss dan green. All doing dead lift special. So we should be experts by now. However we have no squat video, well beyond squat. Thank you

[@davidkinyua7479]

Great video pete rubish. Been deadlifting for a while but can't deadlift more than a 100kg..advice

[@akshatjakhar1172]

Gomad

[@dannydoan3142]

Do you guys think his knees are touching the bar when he lowers his hips and chest up?

[@europeseko4]

i have seen some of the guys keep legs close and some of them wide. what is the reason ?

[@StrongButAwkward]

Pete: Your opinion on wrestling shoes for deadlifting? I believe the argument for them is that they are very stable/uncompressible while also giving strong arch support, making it better than no shoe.

[@DaKosi]

If lifting without straps, do you recommend a mixed grip? I noticed that a mixed grip stresses one side of the back/middle back more than a normal grip. Is it better to avoid mixed grip for symmetry reasons/strength reasons?

[@Walruskinz]

Kos G I'd recommend hook grip but Pete hates it so nevermind that. Pretty sure mixed can cause some imbalances but they are easily fixed with other exercies. Honestly I'd just say go with whatever you have been using/whatever you're the most comfortable with

[@24notter]

Kos G If you focus on maintaining the same position throughout the entire range of motion, then imbalances are harder to come by. As someone who trained with a hook grip for a couple years, I built a strong base of maintaining a neutral position throughout the lift. Even when switching over to over/under, I notice I maintain a balanced position. It just takes discipline and time on working to maintain a balanced position.

[@MrWinterblade]

Can you make a tutorial on how to have that fucking neck?

[@cellardoor8943]

guys who deadlift heavy have big necks.

[@TheGunsling3r]

before I knew better I blew out the bottoms of a 200 dollar pair of nike air max's doing deadlifts. nike reimbursed me.

[@cosmic_gate476]

Lmao RMA guy at Nike sees the shoes coming in "this one looks like it broke at 500 pounds."

[@MrJ1S]

when should u start using belts//straps? im like a 152lbs and hit 315 for 1 rep today. so as hard as it was for me, i dont think its time to add anything. i figure wait until i hit 375? I dont know. my core is good but not my grip i feel holds me back so id be more inclined to cop the straps.

[@Tyler21Roy]

Mr. J1S number 1 thing is to stay heathy so if you feel that you need that belt to create that core bracing then I'd say get a good one. "Heavy" is relative to each person so keep that in mind. You can benefit from a belt at 315 the same way you can at 405/495/585/675. Belt isn't just to save your low back from getting hurt. It's to help give your core something to press into and create a tight core. Everybody had a different opinion on straps. Guys like Konstantin Konstantinovs say they never use straps but guys like Pete Rubish or Chris Duffin use them during training. I feel if your grip is holding you back from progressing on the deadlift, use them. But keep in mind, you need to be doing grip training to overcome that.

[@MrJ1S]

yeah i think it be better if i just actually grip train. aint no straps in the real world

[@VikasSharma-cs2lh]

thanks for this information. how can I prevent my lumbar bend wile lifting. I have a tight hamstrings. can u suggest something to improve this situation?

[@GForceIntel]

Vikas Sharma mobility.

[@souravgarg2873]

Practicing hinging better. Lumbar flexion is paired with posterior pelvic tilt . Also notice that with rounding, you might be experiencing premature extension of the knees and shooting up of the hips. If you learn to hinge properly, you'll optimally be able to load your glutes and hamstrings. Then no matter how much your t-spine flexes, your lumbar will stay fairly neutral.

[@boom-bm1kl]

When do you breathe and brace?

[@deejayspillz]

Exactly. I think some key things were left out of this video

[@JoseRodriguez-pq5sz]

pete and richard technique for conventional untouchable but i pull sumo OH LORD HEY ANIMAL DAN HAS GREAT VIDEO TO HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS GET THAT RUSSIAN THAT PULLED OVER 900 I FORGOT HIS NAME OR ED COAN WELL ED HAS VIDEO ON MARK BELL CHANNEL FOR SUMO.. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME AND YES ANIMAL VITAMINS GOOD STUFF PEACE

[@nikulind]

Belkin

[@Basement811]

didnt he already make a dl vid

[@Tyler21Roy]

Haroon Rohani Also, his mentality and philosophy to the deadlift have progressed to something different. This is a much more complete tutorial.

[@JohnnyKoch]

For PR strength

[@OscarGomez-yc5zm]

Pete you're with ANIMAL now????? fuck yea good job bro !!

[@joshwoodley2067]

Is there an advantage to an over under grip?

[@lambdaz8953]

Josh Woodley Yes, you can hold much more weight that way. However it does pose a risk of tearing your bicep. Safest bet is to just use straps if youre not competing.

[@joshwoodley2067]

Lambdaz hey thanks man

[@BANG7OU]

What is the name of his straps?

[@EulerJr_]

jure rovšek he use Pioneer straps and belt, (they make custom belts)

[@drparks1061]

If your body follows where your head looks, why don't you move forward during your deadlift?

[@sonnyterrones4914]

Daniel Parks because it will come in contact with shins

[@sonnyterrones4914]

Daniel Parks bar*

[@drparks1061]

Sonny Terrones So you're saying the bar is what keeps me from lunging forward during a Deadlift? It is holding me back?

[@drparks1061]

Sonny Terrones So you're saying the bar is what keeps me from lunging forward during a Deadlift? It is holding me back?

[@tyrant7290]

What brand of belt do u use? I know it's custom but who makes it?

[@avi2003jm]

I am pretty sure it's a Pioneer Belt.

[@francoiscalvo2891]

Gucci belt

[@NattyGuy]

+Andrew schofield he uses pioneer. same as tee cummins and kevin oak. hit up www.generalleathercraft.com and check them out. top notch stuff over there, all hand made. that's where his straps are from too.

[@tyrant7290]

thanks brother! gucci belt lol

[@xeniosgerolemou6061]

5:39 setup

[@rnilu86]

Is it really needed to do deadlifts on barefoot?

[@jameshouck440]

Nilu Roy converse shoes work good

[@cellardoor8943]

i use basketball shoes.They have a very hard sole and they feel sturdy

[@danquags0218]

I didn't until recently but I like it

[@beefwellington6868]

That was a weird way to end the video. 'If you follow these steps you won't have any sticking points.'

[@justiceforall1744]

[@spacepapi3703]

Anabolic calves

[@iEduardoTheGreat]

His right arm is longer than his left

[@TirthBArya]

Might be an imbalance issue. My right arm seems longer also, but the bones are of equal length on each side. I found that my right shoulder is rotated forward a little which is probably associated with Handedness

[@TheSaintCroixBoys]

Them calves tho

[@XtremeTkatchev]

Did Rubish fart as he came up on that lift??

[@EulerJr_]

XtremeTkatchev lol yes he did laughed so hard

[@GForceIntel]

XtremeTkatchev i was able to smell it since i was on the toilet.

[@cellardoor8943]

lol he didnt fart ,that came from his mouth because he got very tight.135 is not nearly enough weight to make anyone fart,let alone Pete

[@jefferylord3068]

wth do you know about deadlifting???
