Australian Strength Coach Deadlift Tutorial

Here are the technique highlights taken from my most recent deadlift seminar at Base Gym. I discuss the fundamental cues for conventional and sumo deadlifts while Dinny J from Base Body Babes demonstrates. The techniques I use I have learnt from working with some of the best coaches and athletes in the world and I have successfully used these cues over the years to improve the deadlifts of all levels of lifters, from the very beginner to the absolute best in the world. If you find these tips useful and have any suggestions for future content that you would like to see from me, please leave a comment below.

This should be played, on repeat, in every single gym.

[@-D-100]

This is a genius idea. Instead of the news or whatever shit they play on TV’s, this could save a lot of people.

[@makaan699]

@@-D-100 I haven't seen news played on TV in the gym but a lot of shit as you say for sure xD Especially bodybuilders posing or doing half reps in the gym.

How does this only have 7k views. This is such an important tutorial.

[@stankaldenbach1453]

Sebastian you're by far the best coach i've seen. Such positive energy and clear commands. Keep going man, you're an inspiration

[@reisslindhardt9441]

Wow, it’s incredible that this type of information is free to us. Thank you Sebastian. I’m studying to become a personal trainer and have been having some troubles teaching people the right technique on the big 3 lifts simply, but after watching your 3 videos on them I have all the cues I need. Amazing. Best deadlift tutorial I’ve ever seen. Chris Duffins tutorials are a close second but the way you explain is so easily understood.

Absolute Legend in the Powerlifting coaching zone. Thank you for your sharing!!!

[@George-nx5lo]

you have the absolute best squat form I have ever seen, was very impressed watching you squat with Thor

[@Rautajermu]

Sebastian has helped me tremendously. at 22yrs old his teachings and program made my deadlift jump from 270kg/595lbs to clean 302.5kg/667lbs in 6 months. It was slow and steady process with 12weeks of basic training and 12 or so weeks of peaking. I had never felt so strong and my body was ache free and fresh. In my eyes you are the best coach there is.

[@farknfreakn9316]

Best strength coach in Australia . Inspirational efforts across the board

[@carlm189]

Brilliant tutorial, I shall be watching this many more times!

[@purpletree8294]

Thank you so much for this. By far the most informative video I’ve seen on deadlifting and delivered in a way that is easy to understand.

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

This stuff is brilliant!!! PLEASE MAKE THE SAME VIDEOS FOR SQUAT AND BENCH PRESS!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Thank you very much for sharing so much valuable content!!!

[@HTD22]

Fantastic clear advice, I do not often comment on videos but I wanted to let you know how much the information and effort you but into these tutorials is appreciated and valued by many. Also, your gym looks nuts man.

[@abilko7648]

You are a wealth of information. I tell everyone to listen to your tutorials

[@TheArmoryliftforlife]

Excellent video, I think adding in a side view so people can see the shin angle, depth of the hips and shoulders in relation to the bar would have been icing on the cake. Thanks for doing this video.

[@leahcimevlak]

Thanks to your instructions i am now able to DL+ my weight

[@KeeganB-uw9po]

Why is he doing it upside down?

[@Benbow07]

It's the right way up for me. But I'm also from Down Under

[@naturing1863]

wdym upside down ?

[@Benbow07]

@@naturing1863 There's a joke perpetuated by The Simpsons and other shows that because Australians are in the Southern Hemisphere and the toilet water rotates a different direction to Northern Hemisphere folks such as Americans, that everything in Australia "Down Under" is upside down.

Such amazing advice!! For anyone eager to learn! All for free massive respect Bas! And Dinny!

Great video. Been looking for exactly this and your squad demo. Natural teacher bro. Well done.

[@ozgurozturk4067]

Literally needs to be shown to everyone who ever deadlifts

[@Danielmaciel12]

Great content

[@mvouke]

Man is a legend at his craft…..👍🏽

[@Alexander-ws4ff]

Very cool, always love your way to teaching! You should talk about breathing and bracing, Bas. Noticed that last sumo set, Dinny does not breathe out until after she puts the bar down.

[@brycethoreson9216]

Just what i was looking for, thanks

[@YouMirin]

Thanks for the free lesson Bas! Is it possible to do the same video structure for OHP and bench? Cheers

Sorry I didnt hear a word you said

[@akalion213]

I don't get why people jump on mixed grip so quickly

[@Zeynepgnl111]

Akalion because some people don’t have so much grip strength. Especially women have this problem

[@Joe.D.Sheppard]

This is absolute freakin' gold dust, I can't thank you enough for these tutorials you do. The way you are able to give so much information so clearly and without overwhelming the viewer really is a skill. No matter how much I think I am perfecting my lifting technique, when I watch your videos I always see ways I can improve, not just for deadlifts, but squat and bench press too.

[@AustralianStrengthCoach]

Joe Sheppard thank you for your feedback 😊

[@FYPNLP]

In a sea of bullshit, crappy tutorials and bad advice...you provide amazing clear content. This is a fantastic tutorial clear tutorial. You have a new subscriber.

[@michaelkim3704]

for personal reference 0:56 bumbs down, knees out, shoulder blades down, head to ceiling PUSH the WORLD away // rather than pull 6:00 - 9:40 going back to conventional 12:07 back to conventional: taking the slack out of the bar 14:00 when thinking about posture think up and down NOT back and forward - elongate the spine = head to ceiling = extending the thoracic spine / retraction and depression of scapula *head to ceiling in deadlift means head as far way as possible from the barbell hence REDUCING the distance we need to travel 1) walk up to the bar; shins about an inch away from the bar, bars placed midfoot(travelling there throught the entire movement) *arms straight down(for me) as it gives the least ROM needed to deadlift the bar *close stance unless your thor 2)bumbs down 3)slightly push the knees out 4) scaps down = LATS on *use LATS (this will prevent you from pushing the bar away) = depressing the scapula = pull your armpit toward your pelvis + extend your shoulder joint = pulling the bar toward your body *LATS attach to the pelvis, covers the spine. LATS on = spine protection *Neutral spine is achived when (2)is achived. 5) head to ceiling 6) push the world away

Just wanted to say this, your youtube videos are high quality and top notch! Your gym is incredible and them girls are also beautiful!

This is by far the best Deadlift tutorial I have ever seen. I have been deadlifting without injury for 8 years and I am still learning new things. Brilliant.

[@Laminur]

I needed this refresher after such a long time off during lockdown. This is such a good tutorial and explanation of the deadlift, thank you.

[@sb1835]

Your cues are extreamly helpful. I keep repalying the beginning part with each set of deadlifts I'm doing now and it's helping so much so thank you. Keep up the good work and keep posting 🙌 Best deadlift tutorial

[@ronin_9]

Thank you for this Bas!!

[@DethrowDestruction]

Your ability to articulate it in such a simple way is unmatched

[@leedowner2249]

Nice tutorial I still fucking hate deadlifts

[@akashgoyal9585]

Thanks sir

[@SticksPrime]

Client Manager came up to me today saying she's "concerned with the way I teach deadlifts" and that "conventional deadlift stance has to be narrow, not wider and the bar is on the shins and arms need to be straight" when I was instructing my client. I asked her if she knew if my client has the mobility to have the bar on his shins, to not smash his knees as he pushes with leg drive, and if his hips were in the way for his arms to be straight. She did not know and had no idea why I was asking these questions. So I told her, "narrow stance and arms straight might be most optimal for deadlifts but my (2-week new) client is not moving optimally. He is in his most comfortable feet position, his arms is not limiting his leg drive, and he is deadlifting in his most optimal way without increasing his risk of injury." Client Manager still wants me to workshop deadlift technique to the other trainers so "I know how it's supposed to be." She still doesn't understand when I said, narrower or wider isn't better, better is better. Keep up the great work guys!

[@QuintonDolan]

If this is supposed to be addressing beginners it would have been a good idea to mention breathing and bracing at least once in all of that.

[@josephbadman4430]

This is such a wonderful resource. Thanks for sharing Bas.
