[@AdamEvans416]

Always ready for BOSS DL tips! thanks for posting

[@Diomond89]

This channel is the best thing on youtube fitness wise

[@Hellthrasher]

Busted that 645 like nothing. This was a good tutorial. Glad he broke down difference between conventional and sumo stances

[@PanikYugioh]

Best advise, this guy knows his stuff.

[@Akimball1969]

I've been waiting for this vid for a while. Thanks Animal!

[@JayRunsLONGBEACH]

Definitely gonna watch this when I get home from work. This has been long awaited!

[@vin_9028]

I'm a little bit late to the party here with this but its awesome. Mad upload, Animal. Id seriously consider making Boss the face of your brand. He's attracting a lot of attention right now. Ever thought about doing a similar thing to what Jay Cutler did and doing like a 4x 15 minute documentary on him?

[@Acasas956]

Really helpful. Thanks for these videos, Animal. Dan is the man!

[@StevenTocher]

I'm starting this Friday! You're the reason for me starting this sumo if feels so strong!

[@goatbearman514]

[@shaunchan5484]

[@RCS-qn3no]

don't forget to lock your triceps. great vid. what a beast!!

[@SpecificPT]

at last a proper video on how to sumo deadlift

[@SbrotherstkBlogspot1]

Good advice

[@SinanG58]

Dan is just the BOSS !! more stuff with him ANIMAL !!

[@SinanG58]

Animal I follow him everywhere I can (facebook,instagram...) He motivates me a lot

[@metalheadblues]

He looks like a midget in the starting position of the conventional haha no wonder he pulls sumo most of the time..Still a fucking savage nontheless.

[@jarrasmith1]

Great video! Who is the beast at 27 seconds into video? Anyone know his name?

[@goodfella998]

whats the beginning from?

[@richardthompson9628]

who's the guy pulling at 1:03?

[@CapenCyber]

Jesse Norris. Incredibly strong, and still very young.

[@moonftball12]

I tried doing sumo for the first time about two months ago as I was mainly used to conventional and I know there is carryover amongst the two. I thought maybe even if I like it enough I'll switch. I think it fucked up my hip because ever since then when I squat especially I feel a lot of tension and pressure on my hip. It's not excruciating but more like a nagging pain. No clue what to do. I warmup, do some light foam rolling and stretching then get into my warmup sets and working sets. Don't know wtf I did. Anyone got any advice or went through similar things?

[@d1vinityy]

Dan green is badass!! Does anyone else think dan looks like Otto Delaney from sons of anarchy ?

[@tonysoprano7117]

yeah lol.

[@Damnationization]

Should you do both types of deadlift or just focus on one? Thanks.

[@ragnorak642]

Try both Find what stance works best for you or feels best for you. For example I pulled conventional at my meet but recently I felt as if sumos were better for my frame.

[@Damnationization]

Hung Le Thank you. :)

[@globe.9584]

His conventional deadlift he has his hips pretty damn low

[@johnfeezor2388]

Were those 100 pound plates he used in the final demonstration? When he set the weight down, the floor shook!

[@courtnayroland376]

yea it was 645 lb for a single

[@akw1312]

The plate to the side has writing on it saying 100lbs...solid lift too.

[@goatslayer85]

Those shoes look clean. What model are they?

[@king40796]

Jordan 2s i think

[@dominicescorpeso8775]

What a BOSS...

[@jp9605]

Song at the end

[@paujingtian]

4:46 setup conv, next scene pulling sumo :p

[@cbfall]

Way cool!!

[@YouKnowImVert]

Anyone who pulls conventional use the sumo as an assistance?

[@bigstockyable]

***** im a huge fan of Johnny Candito!

[@lai_strength_training]

yes

[@bradc2662]

Yes

[@SKVMTR4SH]

Oh shit, he's at Universal Athletics. Great gym

[@KamJamm]

i always have the problem when i lift slightly heavier weight( 120kg+, for me its heavy) my hips rise and i end up doing like a still leg deadliest, any help would be appreciated

[@scrumpoxjnr]

I used to have this problem. I think the problem for me what I was setting up too loose - so as soon as I started pulling my legs would extend and my hips shoot up because my shoulders and lower back weren't ready to pull yet. Now as I set up I like to keep myself tight like a coiled spring. Once I'm set up and have my grip on the bar I like to keep a fair amount of tension on the bar before I even start pulling - then once I pull on the bar and it starts to leave the ground I focus on tensing my glutes and pushing my hips forward as the weight is rising. I find that everything comes up together when I do it like this. This has helped not only with preventing my hips from shooting up but has also increased by bar speed. Hope this helps

[@KamJamm]

Tom Bugler thanks a lot man, i will try this on my next deadliest day and see how it goes.

[@ohhai8]

DevilForReal How did it go? Tom gives good advice so that shoudn't be the problem :P

[@KamJamm]

ohhai8 really worked well, hips don't seem to rise anymore! thanks Tom Bugler

[@ohhai8]

Nice! Good to hear sir!

[@goran9296]

boss of all bosses

[@TheDaveb243]

are you maxing out in this vid? lol, seriously though, great to learn from the best. Thanks

[@jerryteniuk5709]

looks like it was a PR

[@IrritatedOnion]

it seems to me dan green starts with his hips considerably lower than a guy like richard hawthorne. note how hawthornes calves are always vertical, where as green bends his, and as a result has much lower hips. not to say one if wrong or one is right, just point out the difference.

[@saulo-p]

When I'm feeling my lower back while doing deadlifts, how can I tell if the pain is just normal exercise burn or pain that makes you injury yourself ?

[@deathmetal1ean]

It's all in what you said if it burns it's Probley ok if it's shooting or sharp pain it's not. When it happens you'll know

[@amoo2007]

Dat speed

[@Vampunz]

Boss!

[@ryangreaves6495]

Why is his conventional deadlift different from the tutorial I just watch from Richard Hawthorne?

[@cuzimrickjames]

each individual person has their own "technique" there are certain things that are universal... but those little nuances of difference are often personal preferences... it is great to watch a number of the "masters" and beasts that have made the deadlift their own and learn what works best for yourself.

[@Ebvardh]

Personally, I like double overhand.

[@FabioRoberto1991]

O ENSINAMENTO DO EXERCÍCIO É TOP! PENA O DAN USAR MEIAS TÃO COMPRIDAS, QUE ESCONDEM AS PANTURRILHAS GIGANTES QUE ELE TEM! O QUE LEVA ANOS PARA DESENVOLVÊ-LAS! MOSTRE-AS SEM MEDO!!! KKKKKKKKKKK Animal tem os melhores com Antoine, Dan, Mcgrath, Tony Searle, Evan Centopani! Simplesmente... ANIMAL.

[@TheJacobf]

I feel like Hawthorne had a better tutorial for the deadlift , but Dan is just too strong so he can lift how ever he wants to lol

[@shiznit4tothe20]

whos Hawthorne

[@shiznit4tothe20]

Animal awesome tutorial

[@perajulization]

you should start to do subtitle on your videos

[@clydepark1924]

This chick is strong!

[@nickgoodwin6710]

His conventional deadlift is completely different than Richard hawthorne's

[@Transfiqure]

thats cause richard hawthorne's arms are disproportionately long, they hang to his knees i believe

[@rweqqwer]

dem forearms tho

[@marcelopittbul8964]

SHOW DE POWERLIFING.

[@cheesedips]

i hate myself...im weak and ashamed..help me.

[@MrBicesterBoy]

SUMO 4.53

[@iiDefied]

I wish I wasn't so tall... And frail... And weak...

[@jgreystoke]

A lot of great deadlifters are tall to really tall: Benni Magnussen and Andy Bolton are both 6'. The greatest deadlifters in Strongman competition include Mark Felix 6' 4", Terry Hollands 6' 6" and current WSM Brian Shaw 6'8", Hafþór Júlíus "Thor" Björnsson 6' 10". You can certainly do something about being frail and weak. No excuses.
