I respect you guys to the highest level of anyone , I don’t really know how else to put it. When I experienced a terrible injury doing weighted squats in the gym (herniated disc, slipped disc, no idea. It was bad) I didn’t have health insurance so I just watched KZbin self diagnosed and self physical therapy. You guys gave me hope. For several weeks I believed I was permanently disabled. I didn’t know about this injury and I had never experienced anything like it before. When I watched you guys tell me what I can do to start recovering I literally cried a little. Now, years later, I’m back in the gym to get healthy and do so safely. For every exercise I do I read read read and visualize the biomechanics and focus on form. Maybe too much but you can never be too safe. But out of all the content, your videos let me see the light. So thank you . Merry Christmas.

'feel like a re- a silly person'. You guys are so genuine and awesome. Recently aggravated my L5-S1 again getting back into weight lifting. I have to fight my ego, as I'm 37 and I see nothing but other guys lifting 2-3x my lifts, and some women lifting near or at my lifts. At 37, though, I have no reason to worry about how heavy the weight.. I'm not competing, I'm a mail carrier and a father. I have no time for injuries! Thanks for reminding me that form and health is superior to 'how many plates'

While that's anecdotal evidence, I think the evidence against people properly lifting dead weights so far I have seen is weak and is only hypothetical. I'm being super careful starting. The rounding of the back is a huge issue, but that's just *my* hypothesis. :) I'll never round the back. It's priority 1.

This is helpful! I have added deadlifts to my routine after many video tutorials and an ok on my form by the gym owner. He is a heavyweight powerlifting competitor, so form is critical for him. The comment about the belt was helpful as I wondered if they actually add safety. I know they help people lift heavier. The stretch-up tip is also good. I do those at night, but I'll add them after the lifts in the gym. I want to encourage you to do more videos on exercises using barbell and dumbells with a focus on older lifters where that makes a difference. I am 71 and I am always looking to improve my lifting routine. Thanks guys.

After watching the Athlean X guy I have to rethink everything. See how he is a physical therapist and a personal trainer I mean even if you do squats wrong you"re wasting your time at best and hurting yourself at worst. Same with other mainstays of lifting weights. Bob and Brad say the same thing. over the years you could be hurting yourself, if you're doing the wrong exercise --weight training I mean, or the wrong form. it may take years but you're hurting yourself. so why waste your time. it really pays to learn correct form and listen carefully and keep an open mind and rethink everything.

Life is a balancing act. Lift weights too heavy and you wear out joints. Avoid all physical activity and your muscles become weak and your joints disintegrate. Thanks for the tips you two. I like lifting weights, but I dislike getting injured. I’m going to go do that ball exercise right now. I have two recommendations for any weight lifter: 1) Take a collegiate level anatomy and physiology class. 2) Put your ego in check, don’t try to impress anyone, and listen to your body.

Came here from the recent KB Swing video. Like some people have stated, you're not quite doing a deadlift there. I'd strongly suggest you looking into Gray Cook's work. He comes from your world (Physical Therapy). You focus a lot on the low back, but if done correctly, glutes and hams should feel it most. Also, using a belt, he'd suggest, is running before you walk. Learn to brace yourself before you're using a belt, especially with submaximal weight. Gray suggesting why a Deadlift is safer than a Squat typically. Gray with Brett Jones going more in-depth with modifications. For a barbell, just do it from a rack if you have the mobility to keep neutral while going down. And finally, Dan John, an amazing and legendary coach. I think you'd be fans. This is a workshop he did on squats and deadlifts and olympic lifting. I think you'll take a lot from this and maybe get some extra material! He invented the Goblet Squat btw... kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqrQYmuuYrOfbLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJTaeIV5o9Kal8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGnPf4hrfbGno80

The answer is yes. Absolutely deadlifts can be done safely without injury. It is a complicated move that requires many years of consistent practice Definitely stop deadlifting if you feel yourself getting very fatigued as your form will breakdown and the problems will begin to set in. Same as any other major compound lift

I love your videos. I was diagnosed with a bulging disc - flares up every 2 months or so. Your videos have made me determined to get my spine health in check before I go back to rigorous activity. My current situation includes some sciatic nerve pain which I haven't had before. Bummer. I'm 36, in great shape but this spine issue really gets me down. Your videos give me hope though! 2 quick questions: 1) Do the McKenzie Method rolls/supports I see on Amazon really worth their $$ or are rolls of paper towels, rolled up bath towels, etc. as you've shown in other videos truly as effective? 2) I played collegiate tennis which probably was the start of my problems. I've been cross fitting for 6 years. Is there really a way to safely Crossfit when you have recurring issues? Thank you SO MUCH!

I absolutely agree with your opinion about not rounding the back when deadlifting, but I never would have been able to lift the amount of weight I used in training and competition without rounding my back. I finally seriously hurt my back in 1987 but it was when I was squatting, not deadlifting. Now with using correct form and doing many of the exercises or stretches you recommend I only have occasional back pain or a flare up. My age is 60.

@@rakeshgitm Well, I’m 63 now and I really don’t have any back problems. I also have to go to the store and pick up stuff for our business. I lift several 50lb bags every week and have no issues. The back will heal, but it can take awhile. I think many people have back problems because they don’t work out. Then they hurt their back and do even less, eventually having chronic back pain. Unless your pain is severe, doing something for your back is much better than letting it atrophy to the point of it getting injured doing simple, everyday tasks. Just my opinion, good luck to you friend!

I would love also to ask you if you know of an exercise called 'reverse hyperextensions' popularised by a famous powerlifter called Louie Simmons which created a machine for performing that as well, it is based on sequence of flexion and extension of the spine, which by the theory is regenerative for the spinal disks. If you do not know of it, it would be worth of it checking it out as it falls within the physiotherapist scientific field. It is very similar with some of the variations you also use for working on the muscles of the lower back.

Hello Bob & Brad, I'm curious if it's bad for the knees when locked at the end of the deadlift? One of the rules in powerlifting is knees locked, but one quick google says at the top result you should not lock knees. I'm confused, if it's good or bad for he knees, I'm also seeing on tutorials that you squeeze the glutes at the end, does that mean if you just squeeze glutes, then knee lock is safe?

First off, great content you guys put out! Love watching you everytime. Though I have to say your deadlift setup looks awefully low, does it not? AFAIK the standard bar placement is 8,75'' from the ground. Oftentimes people go higher by putting plates under their loaded bar to remove excess stress and potential for back rounding. Regarding your exercises: I don't see a practical way of a linear increase for training purposes. Yes, small increases can be made with dumbells, but only up to a certain point. The wrong execution of an exercise (movement pattern, form), an incorrect setup and ego-lifting primarily drives injury, not the exercise itself. And remember: competitive lifting are by definition prone to injury, because they essentially are 1RM lifts with a huge potential for suboptimal form. Knowingly done by the athlets.

Hey guys, you mentioned heavy weights over a lifetime can cause a lot of stress on the joints, especially deadlifts for instance. Is 1x body weight considered "heavy"? I think many of those people you mention with long-term issues have probably have sub par form and have hurt their back over the years during their lifts. Just on my own personal experiences, 99% of back pain I've had have been related to sitting and/or sports like basketball which is a lot harder on the back than many people might think. So I'm wondering if this is more of a correlation rather than causation, as I haven't found any legit long-term studies regarding doing deadlifts over decades. I'd be surprised if there was a strong causal effect on people who had good form and kept the weight low to medium, and feel like it would be way more pronounced on people who had bad form and had injuries along the way.

I think dead lift is not worth of doing. I broke my back first time years ago doing skateboarding. Nowadays i do weightlofting but i did not do deadlifts becouse they but too much stress for the back. Anyway i started to do some time ago but yesterdays broke my back again. I just don think dead lift i worth of doing

If i use a hexbar and thus make the lift much more vertical, will that solve all the problems aforementioned in this video?

Funny thing... I hurt my back getting off the couch. Pampered it and it just got worse! Then i got mad and went back to lifting including squats and deadlifts. I figured better to be strong and sore than weak and sore. Surprise, the pain disappeared almost immediately. Cured! Its my go-to when my back tweaks me.

You forgot to mention that before lifting the weight the person should take a deep breath, brace and tighten their core before lifting the weight - their should be no slack in the body. Another alternative to the deadlift is the trap bar deadlift which is more safer.

8:20 Hi guys, I wonder if you ever consider the wear and tear on joints with heavy lifting, is due to lack of incorrect organisation of the joints, bones, usage, weightdistribution etc., cause I know many people who lifted real heavy weights, beeing in big int. competitions strongman and powerlifting alike, and they have no problems with joints today. So maybe it is more up to organisation and understanding for distribution of weight and power?

I know zip about dead lifts. I wanted to comment that I like every vid you do but I have a problem hearing you. The camera is far back from your voices, that may be part of it. Has anyone else commented on this? I felt it was worth mentioning.

Some one told me to start holding my breath while in motion in order to flex my core and also flex my ass and push my pelvis forward and my lower back pain disappears. Unfortunately I flexed my ass and locked out my legs and strained my calf 🤦‍♂️. Now I always makes sure I bend my knees to the slightest degree.

Lot's of comments extolling a trap bar. Yeah, that's easier for a novice with poor mobility to get off the floor while maintaining decent body position, but it provides no stability as you go up, and there's no built-in limit on overextending at the top. So still plenty of ways to screw it up. At the end of the day both forms are dangerous when done by somebody whose body isn't prepared for the exercise. Still beats being weak, since there's no proper way do that. :)
