High hips for a stronger deadlift

[@SirBaik]

Demonstrating while speaking doing 220kg is absolutely ridiculous. Thanks Trevor, great video!

[@mariomolnar3184]

True. If your hips significantly shoot up at the start, you're not Yuri Belkin. And i love that it's not a bar and 10kg bumpers. Anyone can make any position look advantageous when it's super light

not all of us have orangutan deadlift specialist arms T.T

Most underrated channel. Your content has help me be more of a efficient lifter I greatly appreciate you for everything.

[@jaffestrength]

Thank you. As people share it, the channel will grow

[@pradeepjames-e3m]

Perfect explanation

[@Lasse3]

You know when that barbell hit the floor, that it's real weights 😅

[@GoodByeSkyHarborLive]

Which one will involve more lats?

[@rofoltofol]

I would think having hips higher would activate lats more, as it activates the back more in general than compared to the emphasis on the quads and hips from lower hip position

[@spencerc32]

This explanation is a great example to why sumo is far inferior to conventional. You're talking about using less quads, more back to add numbers to your "deadlift". Deadlift is supposed to work a bunch of muscles. To have a strong conventional deadlift you need it all. It's not a choice of which muscles to prioritize. It really highlights the lifters priorities and motivations regarding the lifts.

Dumbest shit I’ve ever seen commented

[@kayg5197]

What are you even talking about. You can also squat your conv deadlift.

[@spencerc32]

@@kayg5197 I'm saying sumo is solely for getting the big numbers, and that it hardly does anything for you fitness wise

[@kayg5197]

@@spencerc32 also that is completely dependent on your leverages. I know a ton of people who are stronger conv than sumo. Sumo is a different lift, I agree with that. But it's not a magic pill to throw on some weight. If you look in the IPF you'd expect more people to pull sumo then.

[@spencerc32]

@kayg5197 nah sorry, it's known sumo is a stupid lift solely for these phony competitions. If you'd just look at the lift it diminishes distance traveled, targets hardly any muscle through ROM

[@marshallrichardson3207]

Whether I’m pulling conventional or sumo (I alternate them every back workout), I try it start with my hips half way between my shoulders and my knees, as seen in a mirror in front of me. This splits the load between my back and my legs pretty evenly.

[@joebot9309]

Ease back on the soy and start deadlifting like a real man

[@JoshuaBilger]

Sumo is cheat lifting. You're moving the joints the shortest amount of distance 😂

[@fableboy10]

woah!! 🤯🤯🤯 it's almost like creating the most leverage is optimal for lifting the most amount of weight 🤯🤯

[@JosephMilnes-nx9ql]

Hey Josh Have you ever lifted super heavy sandbags. By your analogy, you're cheating lifting perfectly symmetrical barbells. Try lifting heavy sandbags or odd shaped objects. Another example: how about thrusting the hips and bringing the bar to your shoulders and then pressing overhead instead of just deadlifting

[@MeTooMan]

He never did a deadlift.

😂

[@guidodewit5401]

And this is no normal deadlift but a sumo deadlift

[@MeTooMan]

Say no to sumo

[@gtxtesting6143]

I bet you didnt lift even 200kg on everything

[@Klepzeiker1984]

This is not a deadlift

Cry about it

@@Klepzeiker1984 why would you have any idea what a deadlift is?

[@-cgk-.]

It’s a variation, same as there are multiple variations of squats

Sorry bro, sumo and wearing that hat…no thx

[@qfina]

Sumo is irrelevant anyway
