FMS Unplugged: Ep 2 - Cook - ing the Deadlift

[@ironrootsstrength]

The best part of these videos really is that as you apply the concepts and come back to video after practice you pick up on deeper and deeper levels of mastery. Thanks for making these!

[@KatsKettlebellDojo]

Simply brilliant. The importance of teaching the set up (even without lifting the bell) and the importance of the suitcase deadlift were my best takeaways from this. Thank you so much for this info!

[@ADAMREES-GRITGYM]

The last 3 min is by far the MOST important. Genius message.

[@MsPrettyVermin]

Love the Deadlift. When I first started I was one of those people who unfortunately felt it in my back. Now its all glutes and hams, all the time...Its by far my fav exercise.

[@daleg.9673]

This was great! How in 100 previous searches for deadlift did this never come up?

[@graniteguy8410]

these videos are awesome!!!

[@eddouble111]

Excellent instructions!!! Much Thanx!!!

[@PoppAlex-r3i]

Awesome guys! Thank you

[@wonapeaceful9698]

perfect teaching teachers i like it cos i am going to have exam this subject. thank you

[@JyotishFitness]

brilliant thank you!!

[@MrJ-and-friends]

Looks so good. Doesn't seem to be any way to get injured that way.

[@BrunelloPersonal]

Sensacional!

I have a question, At 18:36, Cook says "I got basketball players that will never pull a kettlebell off the ground and I'm fine with it, because they're not deadlifters, they're basketball players". Isn't a two-legged jumping motion very similar to a deadlift? Why wouldn't you instruct your players to practice a deadlift to increase their vertical?

[@MeleDrummer]

Alexei Ezhevsky They do deadlift, what he is saying is that his basketball players will pull the weight from blocks instead of from the floor so that the bar is elevated, because if they pull off the ground their low backs round and they risk an injury.

[@miroljubnikov8251]

big positive correlation between kettlebell instruction videos and 'barefoot-cargo pants' guys...

[@neuromancer27]

Is there a danger to arch to much the back while deadlifting ? I look at Brett Jones and his back is not flat it is arched when he deadlift. When he squat his back is totally straight...

[@winstonxbell]

This is Fuckn dope

[@neuromancer27]

It makes sense, of course the natural curve of the spine is not flat, I wanted to say neutral, his back looked slightly over arched probably because the weight is too light here. Anyway big fan of this two guys.

[@scarred10]

youre back isnt supposed to be flat,its supposed to be neutral which is not flat, its arched/lordotic.You can indeed arch too much but not when lifting a decent weight since it pulls you into lumbar flexion ,the arch is therefore needed.

[@votretime]

let's say you need to grab your suitcase off of the carousel in an airport. This is an everyday, functional application of the deadlift. But I wonder how to apply the lessons in the video about keeping the object under your center of mass. You can easily do that with a kettlebell in the gym, but with the suitcase on the carousel, you just can't do that, unless you actually get up onto the carousel with the suitcase, which the TSA might take issue with. So how do you do it safely?

[@neuromancer27]

Work with a stick on the back first, without load, to groove the move.

[@neuromancer27]

BTW a lot of women overextend.... doing a face the wall KB dead lift with feet touching the wall make almost impossible not to over extend unless you have a terrific Tspine mobility...

[@edscottable]

long femur shorter tibia deadlifting is a nightmare. i now use a couple of milk crates to set my bar on and things have gotten alot better.

[@EatSleepTrainSmart]

To keep things honest, raising the weight to keep the back in neutral still sacrifices quality. Instead of sacrificing quality for quantity, you're sacrificing quality for overload. You lose quality by raising the weight because you're limiting the potential range of motion. As a result, the athlete will only get stronger at this limited range of motion. Once the step is removed and the athlete attempts a full deadlift, the compensation patterns will more than likely return. The symptoms were addressed, but not the root cause. A better solution is to provide accurate feedback to improve the athlete's proprioception rather than limiting the movement of the exercise. If the athlete can feel the compensation patterns and learns how to correct them, then there's no need to limit the exercise. This goes for all other exercises too. I would gladly stop by as a guest to demonstrate this. It's a really easy method of correcting compensation patterns.

[@timrhodes4738]

they specifically mention that you raise the weight for mobility issues. sure you could mob the client on the spot, but i don't think thats the point of the video.

[@MeleDrummer]

EatSleepTrain Smart Some people will never be able to pull from the floor with a neutral spine for anatomical reasons, like the basketball player example they gave, so they either pull from blocks or risk injury by pulling from the floor with a rounded back. But I agree that you should fix mobility first (if that is the problem) and then start learning the deadlift pattern way before applying external resistance.

[@worldwidewinter]

Lol @eatsleeptrain smart. I wish you knew how silly you sound

[@DaddyBLUE90S]

gray needs to learn to squat himself hah

[@Corcioch]

Its a good video . . . . .but disconcerting to see an Instructor with such lumbar flexion.
