When you picked up that guitar and started to shred I said to myself...me and this fockin' guy are on the exact..same..level! Love from Chicago

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

To be fair, all the deadlift freaks in Strongman don't do many variants of the deadlift. Mitch, Graham Hicks, and Thor are all surprisingly simple in their approach. Thor might do deficits, Hicks might do deficits, leg presses, or maybe concentric pauses, and Mitch pretty much only does normal deadlift and back-downs. I think Brian Shaw is the one to employ a fair bit of variance when he was competing, like bands, chains, and deficits.

[@bad71able]

Honestly, amongst the biggest deadlifting strongman competitors, leg press really appears to be one of the favorite accessory exercises. Eddie Hall, Brian Shaw, Graham Hicks, Hafthor, Mitchell- they all lean heavily into the leg press as their primary leg power developing accessory when peaking for a big deadlift.

God: how much adhd do u want? Eric: yes RDLs are perfect for hamstring-glute-lower-back muscle+strength building. aids my deadlift from the floor so damn much, def. more than squatting. But dunno about good mornings. Even 18" deadlifts do more for me than good mornings, heck even shrugs lol. But trying to replace 18" DLs with banded DLs now.

legit disappointed that he cut the 10min rant fr

[@TheJipino]

I like Sam Shethar's approach of not just going for things that look like a deadlift as S-tier, and things that look less like it in a lower tier. Instead he also takes into account what exercise slot they take. For example, a back extension is S-tier because you can do it at a later point in the workout

[@championchuck777]

Some lifters weren't made to educate. Leg Press S Teir for deadlifts? gtfoh.

[@andresruval]

They definitely help, but id never count leg press as hinge/deadlift tonnage nor carry over, and how's it higher than RDLs and SLDLs (actual deadlifts)??

[@davidoa3276]

Because it has no axial loading going through the spine

[@BryantWhite86]

Eric you should give snatch grip deadlifts a try. I see better carryover compared to deficit deadlifts. It will destroy your upper back if you go heavy. It’s the same as a deficit deadlift, just you don’t have to stand on a block. Huge carryover to conventional deadlifts.

[@uroskrstic6931]

i think I'm starting to see a pattern in the advice Eric is giving us ... load the exercise with as much freaking weight you can possibly add, throw in some bands, maybe a chain, horsecock the weight any way you can from point A to B, if possible do it every day, recover with a gallon of instant coffee in-between
