Remember, the Buff Dudes aren't actually talking to only men - they do sometimes call the listeners "dudes", but that's more their version of "guys" or "people", since it is more consistent with their own name "Buff Dudes". They sometimes explicitly say "dudes AND GIRLS" for emphasis.

Absolutely, and always remember to round your lower back.

[@robsmith4500]

The sitting VS bowing position is a really good distinction between squats and deads. Nice tip!

[@kimi9813]

Three personal trainers tried to explain deadlifts to me and nobody could do it. I watched about 100 tutorials and videos but still nothing. I tried it so hard at the gym but I always made some mistakes. Until I saw this video. I mean the thing that mostly helped me was the tip number 1, to keep your hands straight all the time, it's much easier to get proper form when you know that. Thank you guys :)

[@kimi9813]

talzO9 Well I'm just like that and I can't change it :)

Julian M Don't worry, I'm not retarded, I'm perfectly fine, it's just that I don't really like arguing on the internet with the dumb kids, so yeah, whatever they say, I just agree :)

[@forbin80]

Just think of your arms as cables, that tip helps a lot of people. With a deadlift, your arms do nothing but hold the weight, they have no part in actually lifting it. Slightly different when you start talking about cleans & snatches but in a conventional deadlift, NO ARMS! :)

[@mclane0209]

Pick up a copy of Starting Strength if you want to perfect your deadlift. It contains all the information about a deadlift that you'll ever need.

+Buff Dudes I liked the arcade press start thingy too. after watching this and listening to you I've decided squats are unnecessary if deadlifting is just a modified squat. but I'd rather do Romanian deadlifting or stiff leg deadlifting (thighs glutes calves grip) combined with squat (gluttes quads calves) to hit more muscles.

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

Thanks guys. I'm currently deadlifting 150kg (330lb), my trainer videoed my form for me and I realised I'm definitely guilty of rounding my back. I'm going to practice implementing your tips and record it again :)

[@pascal4843]

One big mistake is the look in the mirror. Overextending the head to see yourself in front in the mirror or rotate the head to the side to check if the back is unbowed.

[@captainbiceps5209]

Especially now that I’ve learned how to pull slack off the bar and make the bar float first by peeling one weight off the floor at a time now.

Best gym instructor I have watched so far. Worth the watch!

[@FadzliRealtor]

You sound like such a calm person. A legit dude :)

[@Moshealthtips]

Disagree SOME with the hips too low tip (although you dont want to be too low). You want leg drive, having your hips to high CAN encourage back rounding, and you can lose power and leverage by starting too high. Depends on the stance too. If legs are wider apart than your hips can be higher

[@ohhai8]

I agree with you here! Once I started deadlifting with my hips lower, I felt a lot more secure and my back is more straight aswell.

[@andrewbernard5240]

Yup. Agreed. Staying lower is what helps keep my back completely straight.

[@BaconSammiich]

Is there a difference if you are a powerlifter? because the powerlifters i have seen have a low hip.

[@Moshealthtips]

Baconsammich Well yes. Getting lower lets you get your legs involved for more power which they should!! Why would anyone want to put all that force on the hamstrings and lower back? (Unless your lifting light) Its a compound movement! When I started adding leg drive my dead lift number when up and back back wasnt as sore..

[@hazraff]

But the bar do sometimes hit the front of my leg.Is there anyway to to avoid that with low hips position?

[@coolvideos5618]

You cleared all my doubts and queries about the Deadlift.Thanks a ton.

[@slchld.]

I deadlift with socks and barely any gear. My rule is no need for belt below 200 lb, you should learn to brace your core without the belt.

[@Ragden]

Also, deadlifting without lift straps helps you develop grip strenght -lots of people tell me that I have a strong grip even though i don't work out my forearms directly-

[@kjhdrugfreemasterspowerlif588]

There's no need for a belt at any weight... that's if you've got perfect form ...

I'm one of the smaller guys in my gym's free weight area and yet, 95% of the time, I'm the only one who ever does deadlifts (or free weight squats, for that matter) in there while all the grunting dudebrahs do nothing but bench/overhead press and biceps curls.

[@mohdtaufikmohammad4055]

Maybe you haven't seen them do that? I mean, you can't be there all the time right?

[@chris_1988]

Mohd Taufik Mohammad Yeah, I meant 95% of the time I'm there. But there's always people at the benches, people using dumbbells for curls, etc. Only the squat rack is standing there in the corner with no one even looking at it. (Also, there is only one squat rack in the entire gym, but at least 5 smith machines)

[@mohdtaufikmohammad4055]

Chris 95% of the time? You work there or something?

[@chris_1988]

Mohd Taufik Mohammad Nooo, I mean of those ~9 hours I spend at the gym every week, 95% of the time (= 8.55 hours) no one is using the squat rack. I'm not saying I'm at the gym 95% of the week (that would be 159.6 hours).

[@mohdtaufikmohammad4055]

Chris That's my point. Perhaps people are using it when you are not there. I mean, even at my gym people seem to not do the deadlift, but I can't say for sure because the gym is open for 10 hours and I'm only usually there for a max of 2 hours. I just learned that at night, more experienced bodybuilders are working out at my gym, but at the time I usually go which is around 4pm, mostly there are just people who seem to have just started learning to work out.

[@Peter_1986]

When I do the deadlift I usually pretend that I try to push the floor away from me with my feet. I have found that this makes me perform a very natural lift automatically.

[@Tad1945]

im gonna strat doing deadlift im 190 pounds how hevaey should i strat with ?

[@Peter_1986]

@@Tad1945 The StrongLifts program recommends that a male beginner starts with roughly 95 lbs (which includes the weight of the barbell itself).

[@Peter_1986]

@@sparkleprizm199 If you are a beginner and weigh 125 lbs then your starting weight would probably be around 115-120 lbs (this includes the weight of the bar itself). If this feels too heavy then don't hesitate to start as low as about 70 lbs. The important thing is that you can perform all the lifts with good form and without getting injured, and then you will quickly improve from there.

[@WhateverNameIsStillAvailable]

In my opinion everyone should start with bar + 2 lightest large plates (5kg for example), so 30kg total. Keep practising the movement until you feel no activation in your lower back whatsoever. SQUEEEEEEZE those glutes!

If you have either thin plates or more than 2 plates, you need to secure them in place so then you get an even weight across the bar, if they are sliding around it can fuck your lift up.

NOOBS like you should secure the plates. This man does not.

I would also say how incredibly important it is to take a breath before the pull; and holding on to that breath until the pull is complete.

[@sirluan]

+Cooper Carr to keep stable the column with inside over pressure! exactly! but dangerous for those with heart disease, blood pressure problems or respiratory complications! good!

[@VapidSlug]

+Cooper Carr Valsalva is a fantastic way to get a hernia or cause a cardiovascular event. If you cannot deadlift while breathing and using core musculature (both front, back, and rotational) alone to stabilize the spine, you are trying to lift too much and need to rethink your progression.

[@CooperCarr]

Paige Chamberlain yea thats why every single strong man or any experienced lifter holds the breath. It acts as an internal buttress.

[@VapidSlug]

+Cooper Carr I need no instruction on the purpose of valsalva. If you are looking at strongmen or competitive lifters, your argument is misplaced as those who say squats should exceed 100 degrees knee flexion. For strongmen and olympic lifters, it is OK because lifting weight is their performance measure. They will valsalva to get the absolute maximum lift (a trade of risk for benefit). For athletes who have a performance measure other than lbs/kg lifted, there is zero benefit for the added risk.

[@CooperCarr]

Nah even lifting normal weigh like 200 lbs is directly benefitted from holding your breath. It just builds rigidity I don't come near passing out or really feel any stress on my body. BUT! I am honestly curious and not wanting to be an internet douche turd. What is another way in which I could breathe while doing pulls like the deadlift or squat?

Hmm, good thing I saw this video when I did, having JUST started doing deadlifts, as the starting position, with the hip positioning, was where I was messing up a little - as in I had myself closer to squat than the mentioned bowing-esque position you mentioned (nothing a little adjustment (I.E raising them to where you demonstrated) couldn't fix though. :D )

[@julianglasgow868]

Same

[@bbblackwell]

I'm glad you acknowledged the over/under grip. If you can handle the weight with an overhand grip, you don't need the over/under, and if your grip strength progresses with your deadlift, you'll avoid the precarious stretched bicep position of the underhand grip, which can be dangerous when handling heavy weight. Way t' be.

[@brentseano344]

try sumo

[@BenjaminFountain]

right before u do a rep, breathe in while pushing your belly out, then act like you r trying to take a shit and flex all your core muscles, this supports your spine and is called core bracing

[@hectortorres5259]

Look at your hamstring flexability. That limits a lot of people's deadlifts, and causes you to round your back lower or upper to compensate. If you want to keep deadlifting until u stretch out those hammy a raise the bar.not only that but make sure u can properly perform a hip hinge.

[@cuppaht161]

Yeah I got a bad back the first time I was deadlifting. with me it was lifting with my back

Using your back to help lift? Your lower back is always helping to lift a big part of the weight, if not most of the weight! Lower back soreness (not pain) is normal!

Do legs!!! Thank you for a clear and concise video of errors to be avoided-and for solid reasons. This coming from a senior woman following Dr David Puder’s recommendations for increasing strength training for increased health. On his podcast (#10 on “Psychiatry and Psychotherapy”), he recommends training for many common benefits including increasing cardiovascular health but also for better surgical recovery as well as overall mental health and specifically, decreased depression. Although this was recorded in March 2018, it’s easy to infer better Covid19 recovery is also an outcome! His goal is to achieve adaptation through strength training, which wisely includes periods of recovery after lifting focused on the big muscle groups. He begins with bench presses, squats and of course, deadlifts. Whatever else you do or not, do these, 3 sets of five each, 3 times a week. Well, you can start with 3 sets of 1. Do them right!

[@charlenesessionskandl5401]

what powerlifters agree that you should train with the form that your going to use in a meet ?

[@1TieDye1]

ben rice and candito to beltless work for extra core strength. for a while brandon campbell was working on double overhand as much as possible. candito trains with a high bar but competes with low bar and he trains touch and go but, of course, pauses in competitions. even dan green trains with high bar instead of low bar (for whole training cycles, not just as an accessory lift. granted, when they peak for a meet they train in their competition styles. anyway, there are a bunch of really strong guys that train in a different way than they compete.

IQ encodoc i'm afraid these guys neither know how to deadlift correctly or RDL properly ... there's more holes in there technique than in swiss cheese ...

[@MattheMzz]

I like the way you speak, easy to understand for a non-native. Thanks for the tips Dude, I'll use them.

[@NK-ib1iz]

watch Allan thralls how to deadlift video

[@M3231-s3v]

Roman chair, Romanian deadlift, French curls..... if you live in US, just do US exercises! lol (jus ribbin y'dude nice werk).

[@TheChris1299100]

Thanks! This video really showed me how to improve my technique.

[@MilaPLey]

Well, I'm not a dude but this video was very helpful 👌💪 lol

[@Soulrapier1]

well at least the mistake i make is not that bad, a Romanian dead-lift is still a dead-lift

[@Self_Supremacy]

Chuck Taylor's are awesome for deadlifting. Thanks for the tips buff dudes.

[@darkman14563]

I just realized I've been stiff legging the whole time. Gosh darnnet

[@christiana1137]

I always find myself being able to lift a heavier with an over under grip. Is there something wrong with that grip, cause I've heard mixed things about it.

[@scottfarr3331]

over under is just a more secure grip than double overhand. If you're competing in powerlifting, you will likely need to do over under or hook grip to hit the biggest pull you can. Otherwise, there is no reason to not use straps once you've hit that grip strength wall.

[@MegaChickenPunch]

leave your eyebrows alone, you will look much more natural and attractive

[@brickstunram9391]

There is just more risk of tearing a bicep that way. That's why they don't suggest it unless you're a powerlifting

[@Rubberduckiex1]

Who cares what you think no one asked for your opinion. @megachickenpunch

[@MegaChickenPunch]

Emma Hennink i got 4 upvotes because i like natural beauty like any normal human being. Stop bashing me for that.

[@kirubasivam8182]

Seen many but your explanation absolutely satisfied me...

[@genemorrow5795]

this is one exercise that scares the hell out of me lol

[@waynehill1191]

Gene Morrow leg press scares me

[@albertlewis2250]

For Asgard!!!!!!

[@stoneyhaze9956]

Thanks man! Really appreciate anyone who takes the time to make these kind of videos. Good job too

[@SYNEXYT]

even yt knows my form is shit

[@Anton77796]

3:48 Yes, i can say, you gonna have bad time! :DDDDD Great channel, great tips!

[@HeyLookWhatICanDo]

Phenomenal! Thanks a lot! I grabbed a PR yesterday and am in a lot of pain today. This will help me walk back up the weight in a safer manner, and hopefully stack some more on.

[@rayanwazir9978]

today I've realized I did a wrong deadlift 😖 and it was like 70Gkg

[@rayanwazir9978]

70kg *

[@genelode]

Umm 70kg is almost no weight for a deadlift how much do ou weigh 30kg?

[@rayanwazir9978]

? I don't get it

[@genelode]

For a deadlift you should be able to lift atleast 1.5times your weight maybe even 2x if youre lifting only 70kg you arent deadlifting enogh weight unless you weigh less then 40kg

[@lizstsymphony9060]

this is way wrong... stop trying to educate people with misinformation. a 2x dead lift is generally pretty strong for anyone, and is not common to an average joe. %'s also vary for people depending on body weight, body type, and manu more factors.

[@mackenziepaul5744]

#6: straining too hard and having a vagal response 😂😂

[@phxdaniel]

Been lifting for years. Great refresher brother. Awesome explanation

[@james4727]

when I do dead lifts I barely feel it in my legs or any other part of my body except my lower back. Its one of those exercises I never end up doing because I feel like I'm not getting anything out of it :/

[@harrymaninc]

Practice practice practice

[@sharansrivatsa210]

Try going down as slow as possible and push your gluteus maximus(your butt) back while you come down. This should activate your hamstring. Give it a try.

[@VandalCleaver]

The deadlift is a back lift,doing it conventional will hit your lower back with a vengeance,however the beauty is that it can be modified to hit your legs almost as well as a squat.Try sumo deadlift,engage your quads and hammies on the way up,you'll feel it for sure.

[@jonathanphlek5252]

Jimmy James that was same as me, try bump up the reps u will feel ur arse and hamstrings on fire

[@aruunbose]

Drive the bar with your legs off the ground and keep your back neutral.

[@AnthonyBachour]

First of all his form is horrible and he's using the same shoes he told you not to use. Why is his form horrible? His stance is way too far apart and no use of leg drive. Also if you want to use straps go ahead but don't let it hinder your grip strength but don't limit yourself and not use a belt if you want to. The belt will help strengthen your trunk and provide you a solid area to push against with your abs forcing you to stay tight. If you want a better video go watch Jonnie Candito's tutorials he is probably one of the best sources to date.

[@summeromaley4298]

Anthony Bachour I only see how hot he is, man oh man.

[@zulesmadules]

Anthony Bachour I couldn't agree more. He comes across as one of those gym bros, who has shit technique, yet tries to correct you on your form. I'd have never taught Deadlifts to anyone in this manner whilst I worked as a trainer (and yes, I am qualified before anyone jumps on me about that). Aside from that, I have always struggled to take advice from anyone who's forearms are bigger than their calves 😄😄

[@summeromaley4298]

Nick Seagrove He actually doesnt come off as a gym bro, he has a very good form and technique (im speaking as someone with competence in physiotherapy and rehabilitation, before YOU jump to any conclusions) and excellent advice in general, on other video too. So maybe you should check your references on technique before you conclude something is shit. Its your technique that could be shit perhaps? If its a struggle for you to take his advice, then i guess you havent heard yet that all of life is a struggle. Now you know. Cheers.

[@kjhdrugfreemasterspowerlif588]

Summer O Maley his form is utterly diabolical. I'm a multiple national record holder in deadlift.

[@tkdloizos7]

Summer O Maley Brother just go watch athleanx video on deadlifts and you will understand. He's number 1 on youtube fitness

[@Joel-sv3ww]

Good thing I watched this haven’t done deadlifts in a long time asked someone at the gym that looked like he knew his stuff and told me to go all the way down as if I’m doing a squat.. Watched this and started your way thanks man.

[@27siddarth]

Hai, is there anyway to avoid puking while performing a deadlifts. amazing video anyways :)

[@Fuckoff-1]

No it's part of the deadlift and if you are competing you wanna drink some food dyed water to colour your deadlift waterfall with a colour of your choice!

[@felixrolls6016]

proper breathing...

[@arefallout]

siddarth Joji I would lower the weight....

[@Smackosynthesis]

No. It's mandatory. Just be a man and do it and vomit.

[@mushypork1272]

just don't look at the mirror

[@m.josiahsoyland2174]

Your voice is soothing. Thanks for not starting you video by going "WHATS UP YOUTOOOB!!!??"

[@carolinadreaming9075]

Great video. Everything you ever wanted to know about the deadlift but were afraid to ask.

[@NSSTalks]

I like you guys, but this one wasn't your best. Your form didn't look to hot either. That super wide stance is not ideal. Also, the shoes you are wearing are terrible for deadlifts, but you mention not wearing certain types of shoes. Your shoes should be in that category. Also, the thing about deadlifts hitting your shins is wrong. For most lifters that will actually be the correct bar path. Virtually all top powerlifters will have bruises or scars on their shins from deadlifting unless they wear high socks when they train.

[@ArmyDogtag6]

You kinda look like Conor McGregor :)

[@seanjones8224]

Depleted_Uranium235 Except he doesn't have stupid tattoos all over him.

[@ArmyDogtag6]

Sean Jones H&F 0:19 true, but I meant his face, facial hair, expressions etc... :) Im a huge fan of McGregor so I know

[@ArmyDogtag6]

Connors gonna rip Aldo apart

[@ELITECODDER]

yeah, except not at all :)

[@TribalSJ]

50-0

[@Cafaura]

Hudson, going back and watching this brought to my attention how much you have grown over the years! What an impressive change. Keep it up man, and as always stay buff

[@badfoody]

[@mihaliangelo8526]

+Olvi Langstrumpf dude ur to rasist...-,-

[@OlviMasta77]

Mihali Angelo Lol? Totally not. I just work with some that happen to be real pushy. But I've met some lovely ones too. There are a lot of romanians on the finnish island I work on since summer. So they are a lot on my mind.

[@thomaslux8671]
