Discussing Nabil's Controversial Deadlift Tips

Love the little Clarence cameo sumo deadlifting cheekily

[@DredFulProductions]

For the algo. I find the sumo deadlift deeply fascinating. Definitely a bucket list type of thing to dwell into some day.

[@timothyholt5056]

Nabil gets more hate in the powerlifting community because of his hubris, and how obvious it is that he believes he is better than others due to his genetics and natural talent. Of course he's put in work on top of that to get where he is, but feeling the need to yell "im a f**king phenom" at a powerlifting meet, a sport that is usually graced with a good amount of humility, will turn people against you. His deadlift tips are of the quality I would expect, consistent with all "coaches" who only have their own experiences and minimal time in the gym to guide them.

He's an instagram shitehawk.

[@BuJammy]

We need more people like this in powerlifting. Instead of guys that pull sumo saying "It's allowed in the rules" and "it suits my anthropometry!" we need to hear them say "I deadlift more than you, you know why? Because I cheat! That's right, everyone knows I PULL SUMO!". However, there seems to be a hash tag 'keep powerlifting boring' movement.

[@Ratchetti]

Powerlifting is much more fun than weightlifting they just have way too many competitors and often two flights per one weightclass.

[@theodoremott7757]

Thank you for the video. In a previous couple videos, you guys mentioned that doing resisted sport specific movements is not a good idea, things like using weighted paddles in swimming, or cable runs in track. Could you go into a bit more detail on that?

[@NotLuigi]

They've gone into a decent amount of detail in some past videos where they've mentioned it. It basically comes down to that the natural movement and the weighted movement are fundamentally different movements that recruit different muscle groups in different ways and different neurological paths in different ways and by doing something like adding a weight to your paddle or baseball bat you're training your body to move and adapt in a way that isn't actually going to transfer over to your sport or at least not transfer as well as just training normally would

[@nickbaker3588]

Paddles in swimming aren’t for strength, they are for technique Paddles and fins being for power is one of the biggest misconceptions in swimming

I can’t wait to compete against him as a 75kg lifter. I’ll be out totaling him by nationals in July, and out deadlifting him by next year. How close me and him are gives me a good “close range” goal to shoot for in terms of numbers to hit in comp.

If you struggle with hookgrip I recommend watching candito's tutorial with Sean norriega

[@Anduehan97]

i gotta be honest, while he is very impressive i think his style of pulling just goes completely against powerlifting as a strength sport, and as a training modality for overall strength and fitness

[@aych131]

Why don't you want to turn your toes out on a conventional? I pull with my heels very close together toes pointed out. Is this a worse/ weaker position?

[@antonpwr]

It is not that simple. I pull with that style as well since i get in a better position pointing toes out and opening up my hips. If that feels better and more natural for you keep doing.

[@Warriormanners]

2:05 wtf did y'all do to him

[@39hamnida]

Why do you think that in powerlifting there is such a variation in technique compared to weightlifting? For example: weird squat styles(like extremely wide or inability to squat with any heel), inability to deadlift conventionally and even not being able to pull hookgrip. You don't really see it varying to that degree in weightlifting, everyone can pull hook (of course the mens bars are 2mm thinner, but still), everyone can squat with their knees forward.

[@billsmcdonald3856]

There is a huge variation in weightlifting, all sorts of squat widths. You don’t get people complaining about split jerks, power jerks or squat jerks.

[@tanthai3653]

Its cause theyre different competitions with different goals, standards and parameters. Squat depth in powerlifting is when hip crease matches or passed below knee crease. Weightlifting doesnt have that it just has “catch that fucking weight”. Technique matches the goals

[@-Azure.EXE-]

@@tanthai3653 yeah. Weightlifting is incredibly simple despite the thick rule book. Throw bar over head followed by put bar on shoulder then put bar over head. If there were easier ways to do it than the ones the winners use, they would use it.

[@ThaRealSunGod]

Lol who tf has an inability to conventionally deadlift? Sumo is a choice same as not deadlifting but all are capable outside severe health factors.

[@sereysothe.a]

@@ThaRealSunGod all are "capable" but that doesn't change the fact that certain limb proportions have massive leverage advantages in either sumo or conventional. since the rules allow it, a powerlifter would be smart to choose the style that fits their anatomy best

[@hellshakeyano7686]

If 5 feet tall 50 kg female weightlifters can hook grip without much issue, then what's stopping heavyweight powerlifters from doing the same? Maybe if you are super stocky and have very small meaty hands, but that's a rare edge case.

[@SamHamHam]

Idk if this is the case for other people, but my hands get sweaty while deadlifting and in general my skin is smoother, which means that without magnesium chalk, I lose the hook grip fast. Thankfully i tried chalking my hands or else i would have given up on hook grip

[@HkFinn83]

Grip strength doesn’t scale up with overall strength, it becomes a problem with higher weights. You won’t see many women or lighter weight men have issues for that reason

[@Yokatosh]

I like saying hookgrip

[@Yupppi]

These were some of the least controversial points I've seen so pretty confused about why people got so riled up about it. Also Fitz becoming a mighty morphing power ranger made my brain melt. Do you guys think part of why powerlifting in social media is like it is, could be because pretty much "everyone" can do it and people can coach themself relatively far. Compared to other sports where you probably don't do it casually much or don't so it without a coach. So a common lifter might feel much more in position to criticise a fellow athlete. Now since you like drama, this is old news already in an old post, but a French athlete with a "foreign" name made me remember how a couple of the least sportsmanshiplike behaviors in judo tournaments in like the past couple of years were from athletes with that description. I recall one was Khyar (was in the Paris Olympics as well) against Maruyama if my memory serves right. Pushing and ripping his suit after call to quit when Maruyama was standing up. It looked so bad mannered and unusual that it was a jaw dropper to judo community. I can't remember if the referee gave him a penalty, I'm sure the referee saw it happen. Surprisingly I didn't have that much issues with hook grip with the weights I could lift, but trying to learn weightlifting again I had a weird session with the hook grip where afterwards if I would just slide my finger with light pressure across the length of the left thumb palm side, it would feel like hitting the funny bone in the elbow. Sparking pain and numbness through the thumb. Right hand zero issues.

[@josephparkes6412]

As someone who has no desire to compete in powerlifting (doesn’t even care about DL, just wants to use it as a developmental tool), is there any reason to pull sumo? Seems like conventional is much simpler?

There's some french powerlifter who claims that bench is 70% back. Does anyone know who is that?

[@apo75018]

French gym bro here. The person you are talking about might be Baptiste Marchais / Deodati. His ytb channel is called "bench and cigars". He was coached by Josh Bryant and influenced by westside, and has insisted a few times that back is very important for benching, which got him into arguments with the rest of the french PL community. Right now I dont think he posts much content about sports, he focuses mainly on being a far right media figure.
