DEADLIFT - Do's & Don'ts

[@quadrram3945]

would love a dos and donts on recovery! and other topics as well

[@MegaMuffinMonkey]

this is the greatest idea

[@averyborst9534]

If you train in brain giant set style with ahortwr reat period some strechting and carsio on off day and if your alittle older maybe a pump day on arms and legs for tenden and ligament health just to keep blood flushing problem areas obviously nothing hwavy set of 15 reps up ward i started training in his style more yoga cardio and pump day or pump portion of a workout and i feel great and conditioning is up so the fitter you are the less you get sore and the more it takes to get you sore

[@Str8Deenin47]

@@averyborst9534 high rep work is highly underrated. I know it's nothing new or revolutionary, but it really works wonders if you've started getting tendonitis symptoms, for me tennis elbow. I've started doing 20+ rep hammer curls at the end of my workouts and also to warm-up for upper body lifts and I promise you guys it works wonders.

[@lovelyjubbly87]

[@stu2729]

You sir, are awesome. Much respect for you, a lot more people your age should stay that activ.

[@ShootLiegh]

I love the "dont get amped up" cue. Theres something way more cool about casually walking up to a bar and PRing as opposed to screaming in circles for 20 minutes first. Also, love the format. Its great to get refresher videos like this alongside of the in depth stuff

[@bishopm4401]

The night before my next deadlift workout. Awesome! Thanks brian

Do's and don't for Pull-up. With ways to progress

[@jamienyeste5438]

Do more pull ups... I'll leave now...

[@nathanduggie-carr3193]

I would like to see that too! Tempo, scap engagement, ect. US Marines put out a great program on how to do more pull-ups. Since it’s part of their fitness standard. Basically: Do 1 perfect pull-up Rest 30 seconds Do 2 perfect pull-ups Rest 30 seconds. Repeat until reps are not perfect. Perform other exercises or Rest 2-3minutes. Do it again. Meant to be done multiple times a workout, multiple times a day, 5 days a week. You can basically set up a pull-up bar in your house and do it. Or you can do it between exercises at the gym. Ect. So an extreme “grease the groove”. I tried it and it took my pull-ups from 8 to 15.

[@yeetmr8346]

Time under-tension + Range of motion

Do pull-ups every chance you can and do them weighted at the gym

Thanks Brian. Great video. Always appreciate all the knowledge you share

[@matthewayala7904]

Hey Brian, I know this is a deadlift video, but I wanna thank you for your squat cues. I failed 335 last month before watching your squat vids. Then after watching the squat vids I manage to get 375 in 3 weeks. Plus my knees feel so much better squatting, keep putting up such amazing content, you’re one of the best on YT 💪🏼🤘🏼.

[@JoshHigginbotham8716]

I love your channel man. Ive taken a lot of your programming and advice and applied it to my own. You are the reason I made my youtube channel. been following you a long time

[@jonathanouimette4720]

DEFINITELY need some recovery and maybe mobility tips. As I'm increasing my frequency I notice I'm making great progress but my recovery really needs some improvement. Also mobility has been an issue due to past injuries. Looking for some alternatives

[@splitter696]

Sleep, sleep and sleep some more.

@@splitter696 I wish I could sleep more but in all reality theres no possible way for me to obtain more sleep. So I need to be more creative or find new ways of active recovery. As of right now I'm only getting 4 hours of sleep a night. Juggling training with full time college, a full time job, and a part time job on the weekends.

[@splitter696]

@@jonathanouimette4720 4 hours of sleep at night? Are you asking to die young? All kinds of problems will come even without extra training and stress with only 4 hours of sleep. Do something about before it is too late, sleep is one of, or maybe the MOST important thing in ones life, food comes second. Good luck and all the best for you.

[@jonathanouimette4720]

@@splitter696 I would like to but unfortunately with Bills and college I have to push through a little while longer until graduation. At least 2 years away now 💀💀💀 but I'm trying my best to maximize recovery despite this handicap. Hot/Cold baths, banded extensions for joints and ligaments, vitamins and smoothies for nutrition, and even working rehab into my workouts to be as efficient as possible. I'm just looking for more alternatives that might help as well. I'm fucking beat

[@brainchilddesigner]

As always, I got out my notepad and started writing. Keep these videos coming. So useful. Thanks Brian

[@phillipcantrell2255]

Love the new format. A do's and dont's for losing weight without losing strength would be awesome!

[@RR-hl6zi]

I really like this format. It structures your tips in a neat and orderly way, which allows me to refer to tip #6 or #8 instead of having to rewatch larger segments of your videos. Super practical! Thank you for taking the time to share you experiences with us. It has helped me a lot.

[@zoesimmons8429]

Great format Brian. Do's and don't are always helpful. Keep it up! Future topic ideas: -Aging and lifting: how to continue to lift as you get older. -Home gym equipment: what works and where to get the good stuff. -Injury rehab: how to work your way back from an injury. -Work/life balance: how to balance your passon for fitness with the demands of life. -Warm-up&cool down movements: what works for both. -Personal trainer certifications: are they worth the time and money Hope this helps!

[@xw2542]

This was definitely perfect to listen to in the car. Keeping my neck neutral and pushing the world away we’re huge for my deadlift thanks to your earlier videos that have talked about those cues. The do’s and don’t’s of strongman programming would be interesting. When to place events, which event compliment others, which events to focus on when (i.e. weaker events versus better events). I know you have talked about these topic before in some capacity, but maybe this can give you an idea for another one of these, Great video brother, this format is solid.

[@KirkSlashEddie]

Hey Brian. Love this new format. Suggestion for future video- Do's and Dont's- Entering your first power lifting meet. Always appreciate you man!

[@filemongalvan3328]

[@johanjonsson6504]

Hands down one of the most informative yet funny channels on youtube! Keep it up!

[@DrKenShu]

Great video! I like the change in format (especially since deadlift day is in a few days!) One suggestion, particularly for these style of videos, would be to list the pointers in the description so people can have a quick reference if they're at the gym and just need to jog their memory. Obviously you would expand more on each in the video. Keep up the great work, dude!

[@mach5jeep]

Some people might find these repetitive but I find them very useful. If anything just as a reminder to watch my form. It also gets me a little pumped up when I see a new video from Brian, Alan Thrall, Mark Bell, etc. It tells me to get off the couch and go lift that day

[@banjosquid9492]

Thank you for this! Like you said, most of those things are nothing new, but it is insanely important to be reminded of them every know and then. Really like this format, would like to see more!

[@torljungberger2486]

How to train around and recover from elbow tendonitis? Your experiences with it or your athletes experiences with it. What to avoid and what is good. 👍

[@brockstar1311]

My left elbow started killing me about a month and a half ago... I determined it was either low bar squats or speed bench. I did 3 things that helped a lot. 1. Switched to Front Squats for a month 2. Switched speed bench for lighter high volume bench day using a slower tempo. 3. Warmed up my elbow doing light tricep work. This helped me out a lot... basically find out which movement is causing the issue and change something, range of motion, grip or load. I've been told that connective tissue generally can't keep up with muscle tissue especially if you are quickly increasing volume or intensity

[@kyleadams2601]

@@brockstar1311 I've heard that advice before. Annoyingly I did mine drunk on holiday arm wrestling. Then soon after did 100kg bag work. Now I can't even hold the handle bars of a bicycle without pain some days. Although some days I can do clean and press. Very frustrating.

[@brockstar1311]

@@kyleadams2601 lol yea drunk arm wrestling will do it, as will drunk bowling. I also started doing some light cardio after pressing days (elliptical,air bike..) for about 20 minutes + blasted my elbows with a tens unit for 20 minutes after pressing. Kept the pain manageable so I could keep training eventually the elbow pain and swelling subsided about 85%

[@i4m3rr0r]

Search for steven lows overcoming tendonitis. It will answer all your questions. Unless you have an accute tendonitis, which is rarely the case with athletes, you are in some more or less degenaritive state of tendonosis that will not heal without external stimulus. You might have to stop doing some exercises and you will have to do some light weight high rep eccentric isolation work but your problem will not go away by ignoring it and will actually become worse.

[@bryanklabik1500]

Use good wrist wraps. A lot of elbow tendinitis comes from hands bending back during OHP and bench

[@GameDevBryant]

Love the format, would love to definitely see versions for the main lifts and maybe some of your favorite accessories. I read over your "Cheat Sheet" lists before heading to the gym. Personally, I think it would be helpful for me to see one of these for stretching/mobility work like you said, in particular ankles and hips for the squat. Always a fan, keep up the great stuff, so great to see you recovering from everything!

[@ro2635]

Love the format and tons of great stuff here Brian! One suggestion: Your video library is getting huge and you're starting to mention more often that you've "already done videos about bracing, form etc" but it's tricky to know where to look. I would start adding 1-3 relevant videos to the description to help point us meatheads in the right direction.

Definite YES to the new format. Quick easy reminders are always helpful, just like crib sheets I used to make for exams, it's a great way of prioritising and remembering the important points.

Definitely a helpful video. I do like the format for a quick recap/addition to your in depth videos, but I would still like to have the longer videos for more fine tuning and technique work. Thank you for doing these as they have helped me in many of my lifts.

Truly needed this video. I for one, and I can imagine many others as well, get a Lot of value out of these sorts of videos. Sometimes just hearing the same few pointers but in a slightly different format really helps cement them in as cues. Would love to see this for the main 4 lifts + main strongman events!

[@NedAndre]

Great format for your videos. Really useful.

[@leonestello]

You know we love the format because it's from you and your advice is the best in the game. Please how about a video on neglected muscles like Rotator Cuffs, QLs, Leg Adductors, Calves (haha that last one was a joke). Just watched a Martins Licis video "best strongman warm up" where he covers these (8 minutes in) and would love your take or to atleast bring the information to your followers. I'm not one of those assholes that would hold it against you for emulating information. I like to think of it in not such a petty way as we learn through repetition and to hear multiple fitness inspirations repeat the same information makes the whole that much better. That's the big picture mindset. EDIT: Thanks. I'm so glad you've made it through your mess. It's nice to know you're still going to be with us for a great while. One day I will shake your hand and tell you how much you've meant to me.
