DEADLIFT CHEAT SHEET!

[@nohandle27]

Your next shirts need to have the quote "Don't leave pounds in the ether" on them.

[@chelseythomas388]

Mike Rodriguez Holy crap yes!!

[@dmitrytimroth1824]

Out there with the unicorns!

[@sammythijs8641]

Or 'squeeze the bar like it owes you money'

[@anders91065]

make a shirt with the ether caption and for artwork: re-imagine the "creation of adam" art only instead of god you just got a buff guy reaching out for plates and quarters lol

[@zevarlo997]

I realize it's pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@_That_Dude]

one of the best deadlift videos I have ever seen, your a natural teacher my dude

[@jduty1334]

a guy watching me deadlift asked me if I ever did competition's because my form looked real good. I said no I just watch a guy on KZbin for all my form advice... thanks Brian!

[@crisr6007]

When it comes to explaining technique to new and intermediate lifters, I think you are one of the best on KZbin.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks man!

[@rakshitsadh]

Man really appreciate you doing this.I love your videos,I personally feel you are one of the most genuine guy in KZbin for training. Keep posting. :)

[@marshalltimmermans]

@10:20 This demonstration with the bands is amazing. I'm going to show this to everyone I know who deadlifts.

[@stephc9932]

THANK YOU for these! I made my own sheets for each lift and it was super helpful. My fav takeaways: Squat - press out of the hole bench- Row under the bar to set lats Deads - STAY TIGHT and pack the lats Thanks again Brian!

[@devanneuenschwander6004]

You're the man, man! Your advice clicks with me 100% of the time. I've been close-grip benching since your video on it, and my close grip has gone up 50lbs; I can't wait to see how it'll transfer to my comp bench! And now I just want to go deadlift, haha. Thank you for being on youtube, Brian!

[@JamesGamblin1]

Team Brian checking in

[@chelseythomas388]

Your videos always give me lightbulb moments

[@raymonddwyer7187]

You're my new hero. You just took my deadlift from 455 to 505 overnight. I can't thank you enough for the help.

[@justinreilly6619]

I love your videos Brian, delivered with enthusiasm, confidence and wit! You are my favourite strength and fitness KZbin'er as your content is just great. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@valkyrie_ntx]

Every time I watch one of your videos I’m like “yea ok this looks good” *click* and I always always get new ideas and it just blows my mind and I’m so grateful! Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and ideas.

[@thomasspencer5089]

In no particular order; Brian Alsruhe Omarsluf Alan Thrall Much love

[@ionutradulazar8984]

Agreed

[@tjcogger1974]

Yes!

[@shaneberg3653]

Thx so much Brian! Youre not only a bloke whom knows his stuff.... but u also know how to inspire ppl.!

[@angelad7312]

Man, I have watched tons and tons of videos from the best guys (Thrall, Cavaliere, Nippard) and though they had good advice, you have such a great way of explaining things and demonstrating with examples and easy to understand cue. This one was super helpful-the squat cue list was a real game changer for me. Thank you!

[@directorgtr]

This is the best advice I’ve heard. I might have heard similar cues so maybe it was the way you explained it. I just attempted a PR today with 4 plates (lifting for 13 months so yeah I have a ways to go) using your PR % jump video advice. Worked really well till 405 happened and now reflecting I realize I did not feel as tight as you explain here. I have tried belly breaths at the top rather than below and I feel so much more uncomfortable doing it this way but this 405 I didn’t do that so I’m guessing that was my issue. You’re my fave youtuber Brian. So glad you’re making these. I’m learning daily. Thanks so so much for real.

[@braddixon3338]

Top notch tips on the setup!! Brian you are the best. Thanks so much for passing on the wisdom to help the rest of us Squeeze the bar like there is no tomorrow :-) Need to get the breathing thing figured out, I'll search your archives.

[@abehaile2659]

You are a great great teacher sir. I’ve learned everything I know about powerlifting from you. Heading to NeverSate.com 🎶right about now🎶 for some apparel purchasing. I’ll rep your gear w/pride. Be well and thank you Sensei 🙏🏾

[@brandonboon4597]

This is a super helpful video man!! I'm 19 and haven't ever done powerlifting type training but I hit a 525 deadlift at 165 bodyweight last week and put up a vid of it thinking it was a lot but seeing what people are capable of, I have some work to do and now am trying to make that an even more stronger lift. THANK YOU!!!!

[@stevooo1790]

The squat video helped me better than any other video. It completely eliminated any lower back tightness i use to get after heavy squats (or lighter weight higher reps for hypertrophy). Im definitely gonna use these cues for the deadlift! I already know its gonna help. My biggest issue for the Dl is my grip. Im good at activating my glutes and quads, thus leaving my lower back out of it

[@randygentry1207]

I always use the bar to pull myself into the start position for the deadlift....and your right it' feels like really high blood pressure ...but thats how I lift the most....Thanks for the tips Brian

[@Lummers70]

Brian, you constantly put out the best advice for training and lifting for all of us. Thanks so much man👍

[@captinmuricah2538]

this whole time ive been thinking of lifting the bar,but pushing my legs into ground without a bar i see already how much more force there is.I'm coming for u unicorn gains left in the ether!!!

[@dominictijero79]

This is the best deadlift video I have seen so far, very excited to watch the in depth video! I mainly do bodybuilding but I love the content you're putting out. I use to deadlift very frequently and got up to pulling 425lbs. Weighing 155, I thought I was doing it right and thought as long as your back is straight your fine. Can't wait to use these tips and get back up to lifting some damn weight!

[@lukeplatkowski576]

You are an absolute beast, watched so many of your videos and you give the best advice! Thanks man

[@TheTommo22]

Left the video after it ended, then instantly thought fuck that, pressed the back button and gave you a like Brian. Just because you deserve it.

[@sweetcheex]

Honestly wish I could train at your gym. You're the real papa. We love you B!

[@UnarmoredForce]

The deadlift is one of my favorite lifts and there's always something new to think about. Never thought about trying to wedge myself between the bar and the floor. Congrats on hitting 60K!!

[@Ilzbg]

Awesome information thank you Brian! I watched your How to deadlift series, the Breathing and Bracing..Youre doing it wrong video, and this one about half an hour before my deadlift session, and i just smashed my PR by 15KG!! i was stuck at 190kg, now im up to 205! Fuck yeah!

[@pisk64]

i absolutely love way Chris Duffin coaches deadlift, but this video is breddy good too

[@occupiedaustralia9952]

Keep doing what your doing Brian you keep it light (excuse) the pun , I mean your delivery is great and you do not take yourself to seriously but you are passionate about what you do and helping people , that is the recipe for your success so keep it up, oh another former strong man competitor and trainer with a channel who has had Omar on is Elliott Hulse see if you can reach out to him and do a guest appearances. Best wishes from South Australia mate.

[@jmbeen]

Great vid, Brian. Lord knows I need help on this lift :( Will work on that set-up for sure using these cues.

[@Squatsoverdeads]

Damn! I go away on holiday for 4 months and Brian has blown up to 60k subs. Awesome to see cant wait to see you at 100k subs then 250k then 500k.

[@SpacebattleshipAlex]

"Squeeze that bar like it owes you money"

[@PenguinzFtMFW]

inall honestly i have heard various ques, some of yours have made more sense i'm hoping i can tack on some poundage next session :) Thanks Brian!

[@kellamguy76]

Just missed deadlift day. Thanks for the tips.

[@assassinbbx]

Wow that beginning. So much room for improvement.

[@candolastir7586]

Brian, I aprreciate the amazing content you put out every week. I know you're going to do a cheat sheet for OHP aswell, but can you please do one for Bentover Rows too? I've watched your comprehensive video on bentover rows, but a cheat sheet would help A LOT. Have a good one

[@user-zm9gc1kt8b]

Great tips mate, very much appreciated, i love your channel

[@SrebX7]

Came just in time for my deadlift session today. Thanks Brian!

[@tilleAudio]

wow your vertical is really impressive! would be interested in a video about increasing vertical jump or athleticism in general!

[@falconpaunch33]

Your videos are awesome. I've learned so much watching your video. I appreciate you ✊🏽

[@charliefloyd6136]

Guys I just brought one of Brian's programme I've done it for a week and it's the toughest gym programme but the best I've ever done. I 100% recommend it. You won't regret it

[@dmontaue]

Charlie Floyd I just died on week 2, day 3.

[@fumbles1294]

Struggling with my deadlift setup so bad.. So much I just do deadlift variations instead.. Might give it a go again after seeing dis

[@atomictuna5784]

This video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I've noticed that my deadlift needs work and that my set up definitely doesn't feel right. I've got a deload week next week, so I can work on shoring up those holes in my set up!

[@shivanjansrivastava]

Among the top 5 Lifting channels around

[@ADAPTATION7]

Shin angle also very important. Trying to counterbalance the barbell with your bodyweight, equally important.

[@Ron-ls6ob]

This fcking helped me so much. I cant believe this is a free content for the public 😳

[@Bazzak]

Thanks man. awesome illustration and explanations. Will try and keep the bar touching legs. My knees sometimes get in the way on the way down only,... for some reason :|

[@yashwantsingh1125]

You are a great motivator dude

[@slowcar68]

Awesome video man, thank you.

Thanks for posting on my birthday!

[@QQyoko]

Deadlift is my favorite lift, but I've been having some technique issues with it lately. Can't wait to use this to get to 700! It's only 200lbs away...

[@MrSocialish]

Hey, Brain! I see that you're trying to get strong. You should try out Mark Rippetoe's general strength 5x5 program. If you do it for a year, I bet you'll add slabs of muscle to your frame, and gain 100lbs on all of your lifts! It will make you as strong as an animal!!! I'm kidding, by the way hahaha. This is such a great video. Im actually deadlifting today, so I'll try this out! Thanks!

[@joshjohnston7388]

MrSocialish dude, you went full Poe. That was spot on. I could totally see a SS dude trying to tell that to Mr. 315 Strict Press over here.

[@MrSocialish]

Josh Johnston Right? 315 is INSANE. But seriously, this video is gold. I maxed on my deadlift today because of it.

[@joshjohnston7388]

MrSocialish nice! Honestly, Brian's channel completely changed the way i look at my lifting. Dude is golden as far as i'm concerned.

[@kostaskiriakidis2892]

Man thank you just thank you!! NEW PR!!!

[@pestyoverlord]

does anyone else pull in a heel? It seems like it would make it harder to get set. I use a wrestling shoe and love it.

[@joshjohnston7388]

pestyoverlord on a previous vid, he says he usually deads barefoot, just his foot is really ugly right now. I go flat myself.

[@matcoddy6097]

I do sometimes, it involves the quad more, helps you get it off the ground. Massthetics has a video called "deadlifting in oly shoes" or something like that, also starting strength has a vid, and some recommendations about doing it if you prefer.

[@thefett5943]

Great info much appreciated

[@Julius1997.]

But but how would i fit into my skinny jeans if i deadlift 715???

[@basmartena4742]

This series is simply awesome. Thanks a lot for the tips Brian :D. I have only one question: What do you think of t&g deadlifts? I can do way more volume this way and recover better..

[@stefantanase5102]

Power!!!

[@madmanjimbob]

Awesome, thanks for this!!

[@JT-fi4hq]

Man I wish I found out about Brian's channel earlier.

[@RareRiddemz]

I have a question; can anyone offer their advice? The main problem I am having with my deadlifts is that by the time I setup, my quads are absolutely burning, and I haven't even pulled the bar for a rep yet. Any suggestions to help with this problem, aside from maybe becoming quicker on my setup?

[@thackerify]

I live in Switzerland, and my wife just traveled to Washington for work. Shes staying a bit out of town in Bethesda, which google tells me is only an hour and ten away from Brian. Why does my work never take me to Washington???

[@arfanraza7226]

My worse point is just below the knees and then just after the knees it goes up pretty good?

[@nickhey7374]

I always underestimated the importance of a 'Belly Breath' my deadlift went up 50kg with just focusing on getting that breath in

[@joshjohnston7388]

I could use some advice from anybody. I started a new job between now and when my school program starts back up in 2018. I'm working overnight in a building supply/lumber yard. the labor is pretty hard, and I feel like I've adapted to that for the most part, but the gym is taking a hit. It's been maybe 12 weeks, and I can't seem to maintain the gym for more than 3 weeks in a row without burning out. I think it's because my sleep and diet are all screwed up, and neither was ever that great anyway. Some days, I totally oversleep, probably to make up for the days I don't sleep at all. some days, I'm cramming junk just to get more food in me. I get sick (overtraining?) every few weeks. I frequently burn out in the middle of my second giant set, even when i decide not to go up in weight from last week. it's bumming me out. I kinda need the job, because it gives me room to fit in my volunteer hours and such that I need to be accepted into my program. My gen ed is done. I'm not sure how to adjust from a 4 day to a 3 day schedule, if that's even a solution. I'm not sure how to adjust volume/frequency. I'm just having trouble keeping up with everything without burning out on the regular. I keep pushing, but the juice just doesn't seem to be there. Sometimes, pushing harder is just banging your head against the wall harder, and the wall doesn't seem to be giving. I could use some help.

[@shakoustorm8525]

Josh Johnston adjust your programming, diet and sleep..Greg Nuckols has some good articles about programming. Not sure if Brian has videos about but it be worth a search.. I've hit burn out and it sucks. Saps motivation etc so you have to learn to train smart. good luck with it man

[@joshjohnston7388]

Shakou Storm yeah... if I could get my sleep and diet back on track, I'd probably be ok in the gym too. I'm beginning to suspect I might have to bite the bullet on gym fees and start training after work someplace that is open at 2 am, because I go in smoked on gym days, and that's not real good with all the lifting and pushing and carting I do. The one place wants five times what I pay now, and the other doesn't have barbells. : ( I certainly need to smarten up my training. 3 tiers of antagonist giant sets (work gives me conditioning a plenty) at 65-85% of my last pr for 5x5 might not be great. I'm not really experienced enough to be deciding my own RPE. I tend to overdo it. Being hard-headed enough was never my problem. Admitting reality might be. I'll look that dude up. Brian's templates are crazy smart IF you're hitting recovery, but I'm failing at that right now. I meal prep. I take an hour before bed to prepare for bed, but sometimes I just don't sleep. Already set up a bedroom in the dark, cool basement, but I dunno. Pills make me too groggy for too long, and don't even work that well. I... really need something to go well right now.

[@greyMDA]

so, if we'are doing Tap'n'Go heavy deadlifts - how do we breath "between" reps?

[@neversate]

Brian,how you are able to deadlift without bleeding shins brother?My shins are bleeding.

[@patrick8391]

Why did lift in squat shoes?

[@brendanbuckland8818]

holy crap. this helped so much.

[@kalajainen]

How do you adjust your setup when you're using straps? I really like the "lower your body as if performing second rep" cue, but when I have to bend over and take the time to strap in I can't figure out how to get into as good a position

[@beastini2289]

Use the closing/shrinking the triangle cue he talks about

[@Smoo7hy]

do you deadlift in oly shoes? and why?

[@jamesj5469]

[@daven655]

Thoughts on replacing normal deadlift with the trap-bar deadlift? I have been normal deadlifting for 4 years but recently went to a new gym with the trap-bar. I tried it and I feel much more safe and secure vs the normal bar.
