Deadlift Hip Height: Get It Right Every Time!

[@BrendanMcGuire-k8d]

"top down setup" ...Juggernaut folks like to say "RDL to the bar." This has helped me immensely

[@Major.Tom.1973]

Been following dozens of channels, nobody explains it as clearly as you do. Subscribed! 🙌🏻

[@Whoareyou127]

Used your variation @6:30 for one cycle in Candito and it worked like a charm! Blew through my week 5 deadlift session like it was nothing! Thank you!

[@StephColbertsonStrength]

Practical and simple to apply. Love it. Almost as much as I love seeing Bryce pull conventional

[@whatigame]

Some good points here, I like how you explain the stages of the deadlift and other viewpoints on issues...

[@williamkopcha9442]

Hell yeah, brother, I'm guilty of #1. Thanks for the tips!

[@Iam18]

love the channel, looking forward to see you guys grow! (channel and lifts) lol. this is good advice. first rep usually is hardest for me, it also is a technique i can apply to my bench press.

[@kevinmccallister3133]

Absolutely agree with full stop, full reset deadlifts. “Cluster deadlifts”. They blew up my deadlift.

[@bloatmax4420]

opposite for me. Trained dead stop for the first 6yrs and got strong, sure. 315 to 785 in that timeframe conventional. Once I started doing touch and go my deadlift fucking EXPLODED into the mid 800s. There's a time and place for both, and for him to say "don't do them, they don't work" is just ignorant and honestly pretty fucking stupid of him.

[@jackhickman8664]

I have kind of the opposite problem. First rep is always good but then I struggle to get into that same starting position without totally resetting

[@Joe-wt6eh]

Same. Its just caused by squatting the weight back down instead of doing a RDL

[@1r3u]

​@@Joe-wt6eh are you supposed to squat down when lowering the bar while deadlifting? Usually my hips stay pretty up when lowering it

[@Joe-wt6eh]

@@1r3u no

[@rishav380]

man top content as always

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

Thank you for the advice 🙏. Honestly i thought I was keeping my arms long but seeing it slowed down and pointed out i see the change in positioning. I realized i need to spend more time at the bottom in general after my last top triple. Went for 480 which was ambitious but i (kind of surprisingly) had the strength for it. First pull was nice i think but the second pull was so rushed that i hadnt even set my grip properly so i wasn't even gripping the knurling, lost it at the top. Third rep when i started pulling the bar was crazy far forward so I had a pretty extreme yank then brute force back into position to get the rep. Hadn't noticed the thoracic extension problem at all. I don't really think about slack at all. My cues are more or less try to engage the lats and brace at the top reach down, stand up while trying to keep the knees forward as long as possible. Unfortunately I'm 23 and no intentions to compete until next year so no junior days for me 😅.

[@BlackBearBarbell]

Great video! Really good actionable tips 👍

[@ChrisCoul]

I don't have this problem. My deadlifts are fine. I still watched to here the explanations though. Maybe in the future I will.need this advice.

[@bloatmax4420]

0:47 How people, especially like you, can authoritatively say shit like this with utter sincerity is mind boggling to me. Touch and go deadlifts have LOADS of insane benefits that you will never get from a deadstop pull. It's no coincidence that it took 2yrs of training dead stops, pauses, deficits, and deficit pauses to go from 765-785, and in under ONE year of training exclusively touch and go and touch and go deficits, I pulled 855 and just barely missed 880. Dead stop is DOG SHIT for building muscle across the board in comparison. Dead stop pulls never leave me sore anywhere but my hams and lower back. Touch and go I feel EVERYWHERE on my body the next day; hams, glutes, QLs, erectors, rhomboids, lats, traps, abs/obliques, and even calves. There's really no argument to be made against touch and go deadlifts unless you're prepping for a powerlifting competition where you'd be better off hitting singles. But in the offseason? Give me one good reason why somebody shouldn't do touch and go, I'll wait.

[@manuelmoreira8575]

Great content, learned a lot!🙏

[@thomastkach7467]

I’ve gotten start position dialed in I think, but still working on it. After seeing your shorts on IG, I actually started thinking about trying out too-down, but not sure how that will work with my slow hook or straps setup.

[@orthrusfury8739]

Hey Bryce! Great video!! My bar path is 99% vertical. However, when wedging into the bar, the bar moves a half an inch towards my shins. This is bad, because when lifting the bar, it will move forward half an inch again. How can I wedge myself into position and prevent the bar from moving? Any cues? After months of technique work, it seems to be the only thing left that messes up my deadlift slightly because it makes the bottom part of the lift harder

[@DCJayhawk57]

Great vid and editing as usual (nice job Bryce and Dylan). Gonna refer people to this if they're having trouble with their setup. I really like the Ed Coan style slow eccentric deadlifts to hammer in the start position. Top down also helped me a lot.

[@johnygoodwin3441]

Great video, thank you

[@Hudson4426]

Please forgive my noob question… what’s wrong with touch and go deadlifts?

[@miz528aaaaaaa]

Thanks very helpful!!

[@jumpingjackflash8270]

I am pretty sure my problem is my setup on the first rep, but instead of fixing it, I just say in my head 'ok, this first rep is hard, but once you do it, the next 6 are easy, before they start to get hard again'. is that a stupid thing to do that doesn't solve any problems? yes, will I change? no, because I'm lazy and I only go really heavy once a year for my birthday deadlift check :)

[@askevalbjrncarlsen1962]

i like this video very good

[@aukusti1]

I have the opposite problem, first rep is always the best and the positioning of subsequent reps is not as efficient. I do top down setup so when lifting heavy I have to do always full reset deadlifts. Should I start learning to do down top setup or do you know how people who do top down setup lift without full reset between every rep?

[@Killerkraft975]

Why was this posted at such a good time…

[@mflexler]

He says touch and go is bouncing the weight? Do steel plates bounce that much? Especially at higher weight? Don't feel like I see any bounce if I drop 495+

[@markkress6134]

I thought it was more about resetting your body before doing each rep?

[@mindfreak1able]

I think after years of deadlift .. I realized my right hip position but always had doubts in my foot position ...in my case my foot position to the bar is not on the middle .. it is somewhere near to my pinky toes... I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or I am bit exceptional to the cue .. coz I feel like I am able to exert better force on my pinky toes then my mid foot... I feel like my back is more stronger then leg drive ... Can you suggest me solution to this case or I am bit exceptional to the general setup curve?

[@calgarybarbell]

Come by the livestream on Fridays and maybe we can check it out!

[@MrPikkabo]

Smoke stream when?

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

Dead lifting is expensive though. Now I have to get back surgery! 😅 😂

[@patrickbowes6002]

hahaha yes fucking love, if you are doing touch and go deadlifts, stop

[@hayzy5990]

What reason(s) would you have to program a 10 second rest for a normal set of triples instead of just a cluster set with longer rest periods

[@pandasmooth]

hardcore show when? also nice BDM poster

[@danielhello9558]

Copping a spinkick from Bryce would be pretty lethal

[@donssssss]

I’m a fan off the benny magnuson techniek. Just skip the first rep and go straight for the second.
