Sir firstly that was a pretty on point pronunciation for my name. Secondly THANK YOU so much, I have been struggling with my press and your much valuable information comes handy a lot. Thanks once again

Help for Andrews deadlift: First, the problem is that you lose your back tightness the second the bar leaves the ground and your legs are not helping moving the bar off the floor. What I would work on is: >Keep the Bar under the Midfoot (you can see that the bar has to move a few cm back towards your shins before leaving the ground which creates an energy leak in the lower back) >More Upper back tightness -> try already having your arms extended as you reach for the Bar so you can feel your lats. Also try keeping your head up instead of looking down when deadlifting. >Stop bracing into your Chest and rather breath into the belt for a stiffer and more rigid lower back (Cue: flex your abs alittle bit and right after breath into your belt)

Great advice and I’d add that he’ll probably need to drop his working weights in order use those cues. His legs are not contributing as much to his deadlift so it’s likely they are relatively weak compared to his low back and glutes. And pause deadlifts would be the perfect way to practice those cues.

Hey guys thanks for all the help in these comments, much appreciated 😁

the app ads get more fever dream-y every week and make me question my sanity, keep it up. especially a fan of the cutoff button up and sweater vest

Andrew Deadlift Try doing some beltless Stiff legged deadlifts while focusing on bracing, DL technique and just pure hiphinging while making sure there is no bending of the spine under load, imo that might be beneficial for you, especially when not having a ton of experience. Either way excessive doms in the lower back after DL I don't think is necessary or a good sign regarding your DL technique if it persists. The bending of the spine under load in the DL, can be interpreted as a higher than 100% load intensity eccentric muscle contraction of that muscle. These kinds of muscle contractions are way more damaging to the muscle than simple concentric or the in the case of the DL ideal static contraction. So they give you way more doms as a result. They also are more prone to injury and I would just try to avoid it. If you can manage to avoid doms in the lower back, you can try to make it stronger by using good technique more frequently, and/or exercises that put it in an disadvantageous position like Stiff legged, defecits, paused, heavy pendlays or regular rows etc. Either way, doms in the erectors can persist longer than most other muscle groups and it seems from your video to be the result of a weak link in the chain, your core regidity. And that either stems from strength or from technique, but it looks like it will slow down your progress if not adjusted. And fixing weak points imo should always be a priority, because they can lead to injury.

Love the tip at 17:13 to 1) Imagine a spot on your belt at the middle of your back. 2) Try to move your elbows toward that spot. (As you move your elbows inward, you feel your lats and back muscles contract to create a tight brace.)

He should push his hips forward instead of straigtening his back, that will make the lockout easier

8:36 ok was listening while cooking and this jumped out of nowhere really gave me a big lol 😂

[@kev23dk]

The second bencher if he can lower his knees, drive his legs into his traps push towards the back of the room, keep his shoulder locked in and sternum high. Man he'd be repping 3 plates like a garbage bag. Basically muscling up 2 plates at this point haha.

Omfg the asmr Mr rogers singing was insane I hated it but I also kinda liked it!!😏😎🤨😒

I'm late to the party but I'll still play along. I could see a few possible areas of improvement on the final deadlift here. The biggest factor in my opinion is that the athlete is slightly too far from the barbell at the start position, before bending down to grab the bar. This causes the bar to start just a bit forward of midfoot, it causes more forward knee travel because there's a greater distance to get the shins in contact with the bar, and it often causes the hips to set too low. And as expected, when he starts the pull the bar rolls inward before leaving the floor, the knees move back to get out of the way of the bar, and the hips rise a bit before the bar can leave the floor. Just nudging up to the bar a bit more before bending down to get into position will help this. Far less important: I suspect a tad narrower foot position/stance may help.

Damn Chris is strong as hell. Man is born to squat.

[@joel5956]

Getting a sore back after maxing out your deadlift is normal. I wouldn't worry about it beyond just being careful how often you max out and when (like the week of a meet is probably a bad time).

[@charlynonorgue5343]

Whats is the app you use to draw on your screen ?

[@youtakel7708]

It says free money back if your program doesn't work, can I have my free money back?

[@jorgevillarreal502]

ay andrew, you should try starting your deadlift with slightly higher hips. you can see that you're pulling and your hips rise before the bar comes off the ground. I would like to see you start and brace into that position instead of kinda finding it on the way up, because then you're using all knees and no hinge and then are behind on your hinging when you get to the knees. also with those long legs i would urge you to try sumo for a more upright pull and for straighter shins so you're not busy getting your knees out of the way of the bar. Lastly I think you lose a slight bit of position in your upper back, but i don't think it is a bad thing as much as you could have started in that position instead of being bullied into it. All in all, stronk lad, keep going, we're all gonna make it
