How to Find Your Perfect Start Position (Conventional & Sumo Deadlift)

[@MrPikkabo]

I really don't understand how this will help my bench press but ok

[@lucasjohnson2184]

😭😭😭😭😭

[@Serranos_]

Have you tried widening your grip? I hear that helps

[@snorlaxcom]

Arch harder

[@trentarmstrong9576]

This is the best explanation I’ve seen. I’m a fairly experienced lifter (600# range) but the way you explained tension was like a lightbulb going off. I tried it at the gym and ended up in a lower hip position then usual, more importantly felt like the bar was exploding off the floor. I’ve already sent this to all my lifting buddies. 🙏 appreciate the video man.

[@BasementBrandon]

Solid explanation 🙏

[@ismaelcamberos5534]

Watched this video about 5 times while at the gym today, and increased my weight from 365 to 385. My form still needs some work but just understanding how to brace, from one of your other videos, and not waste energy keeping myself and the weight balanced on the initial pull has been life changing. I hoping to get to 400 in the coming month. Thank you!

[@ericbuikema5781]

Thank you! I finally understand my deadlift positioning.I just got back into Sumo to help my low back and thid video helped tremendously

[@BlackBearBarbell]

Really loved the way you explained this! Something I've been struggling with personally and with my clients. Definitely implementing these cues on my next deadlift session!

[@ImUrNightTerror]

Amazing video, been working out for about 5 month, love doing deadlift manliest shit ever, but never felt like I was doing them right until I tried what you said with keeping the tension and lowering myself down until I feel like the bar is going to float, feels amazing. Much love bro, u deserve way more hype, keep up the great content and you will blow up

[@PopDoplins]

This is literally the best deadlift video I’ve ever watched. I review it almost every deadlift day.

[@CobraFitCoaching]

This actually helped my deadlift tremendously, this video should be trending

[@stevenn8888]

this is by far the most detailed tutorial ive found to learn sumo, ur the goat

[@sollyxdoomyx7905]

[@Fightrec]

Spot on, many goers dont tell u this, literally is first you thing u should do when grab the bar

[@adambeatty8939]

Love the cue to find hip tension as a feeling instead of seeking an arbitrary ideal height for your anthropometrics. Nice video and appreciate your content

[@sean5443]

This is great info ! I credit my deadlift and squat progress to the content from this channel.

[@johndaley964]

Awesome stuff, CBB does it right.

[@christianf4995]

Always top tier quality content, never just a video for new video's sake. Killing it for years Bryce🤘

[@adammalthaner4452]

Bryce, this was so well explained. This was the hardest piece of the deadlift for me to figure out was my hip height. The angles and explanations of low, medium and high were bang on the money and easy to understand. As you said, play around with it and learn what works best. Thank you again.

[@jumpingjackflash8270]

Great video, I know conventional deadlifting is considered cheating because it's so easy compared to sumo, but it's nice to see you explained it as well.

[@rafaelalamilla5583]

Lol cheating? Lol I guess the deadlift records were done cheating, no? There is nothing wrong with pulling conventional or sumo. It's really just preference and finding what style suits your body frame the best.

[@jumpingjackflash8270]

@@rafaelalamilla5583 Big time cheating, Thor's 501 deadlift? not only was it conventional, but rumor has it that he took 6 grams of creatine that morning.

[@moistmayonese1205]

Conventional cheating compared to sumo? I have never heard that one before, usually people argue other way around.

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

3:25 Bar float off the floor. 🤔? So kinda pealing one plate off the ground at a time from all that tension then. Right?

[@christopherseat9871]

Excellent SESSION.....Thankyou for your instructor

[@microwavetechnician7493]

I like this because it's not some absolutist "thou shalt not knee cave" drivel it's actual technique. Good explanation

[@JB-ui1dq]

Awesome video man!! Really helpful, especially the leg press cue.

[@OfficialPhdPepper]

I'm a subscriber that missed this one. After straining my hamstring on a WR (Masters) attempt in Nov, I'm looking for a different setup. Good points here that I will work to incorporate!

[@Zuecheltv]

You just saved my deadlifts thank you man !:)

[@calgarybarbell]

Glad we could help!

[@Worrick]

I NEEED THIS BADASS SHIRT NOW . Also awesome vid as usual

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

Ok, so when I pull the slack out of the bar and then proceed to lift it’s one plate at a time with the pull.

[@dale_26]

Great video. Insane editing. Thank you!

[@jocaingles8464]

Beautiful video, great explanation. I apreciate the different options showed in video

[@chrisarksey]

The idea of 405 just floating sounds great

[@calgarybarbell]

It'll happen

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

Bingo 🎯, did you get it yet? I just pulled 405lbs conventional deadlift on two attempts. Yet the first attempt my hips rose first, didn’t pull enough slack from the bar, back rounding and horrible bracing and breathing. The second attempt on 405 lbs deadlift got my hips lower with minimal hip rising, better breathing and bracing also.

[@nalef4215]

Thank you, really useful. Going to give this a try tomorrow!

[@calgarybarbell]

Best of luck!

[@calgarybarbell]

Appreciate it

[@sercheese]

I tried your tip today. It’s quite difficult for a beginner to do it correctly during the whole set. I found myself either having to pause between each rep to set everything thing up or to loose it during the exercise.

[@bjj2617]

Great video, thank you. This was one of two “ah-ha” moments for me when it comes to technique. Outstanding content.

[@bennygilligan]

[@Aleyahu-mw5ok]

I found this channel about a year ago. I have been looking for it for the last month to review techniques… sadly I did not subscribe and it was not that easy to find. So… don’t forget to subscribe people ! This is good info !

[@aaddeo]

Awesome videos. Any chance you’ll do a conventional deadlift how to video in the future? I may switch to Sumo just because you have a How-To video for it!

[@calgarybarbell]

You can use 99% of the concepts from the sumo video on conventional. Except the stance width stuff haha

[@nicokorkiamaki2991]

Music suggestion for Bryce. You have to check out the latest Soul Glo album Diaspora Problems. Best hardocre punk album this year for sure

[@Whatashek]

gnarly hair dude

[@jdata]

Any thoughts on what might be "going wrong" when right before lockout the tailbone area of the spine feels the most tension/vulnerable? Hard to explain, but it happens to me from time to time when pulling conventional and it is that feeling that led to some lower back popping/injury in the past.

[@amandaellen444]

Awesome tips

[@filippetrov1980]

Could you tell me whats the difference between 2ct pause deadlift (barely off the floor) and 2ct pause deadlift (just off floor) in calgary barbell plan 5-8 week . I can't get it :D

[@calgarybarbell]

It's the same thing

[@Killerkraft975]

Ive been doing conventional for a while and have done sumo in the past. Looking now and trying this drill, i definitely feel tension alot more when hips are more down when i tried it. Could that mean I could be stronger sumo?

[@mattmilstead3733]

I’m still struggling with this tension thing, also I’ll keep trying to send in a video for form check Friday lol. You guys probably get too many lifters sending in clips .

[@calgarybarbell]

Come by the livestream on Friday!

[@roneykaithpalmaria]

Video and editing on this video is 👍🏼

[@calgarybarbell]

[@patforpatrick]

Great video, I get super annoyed with this. My long legs make my ideal starting position look like a SLDL and I get told I’m doing it wrong and to “sit back” which takes my shoulders way behind the bar. Then I get told “oh well you’re just not mobile enough.” Like sure I’ll just mobility drill my way to shorter femurs 🙄

[@ezrajames8238]

I also have long femurs. Like my hips are barely lower then shoulder height. My it feels best. I can also pull by sitting back into it but the lift no longer feels like a deadlift and is too squatty

[@pigsmasher7665]

Hi Bryce, I see that you are wearing the Sabo heavy duty shoes, do you find them better than the pro?

[@calgarybarbell]

Will be making a video soon!

[@yangsing]

Kind of confused because I watched 5 pillars for sumo by Juggernaut and they stated to squat down to the bar before bracing. As opposed to pushing your butt back in this video. I'm not sure which method is more proper?

[@cg9887]

Just different methods, no right or wrong. Try both and do whats best for you.

[@rafaelalamilla5583]

This is a great short video on the topic. To add to this, once you get into the position that Bryce mentions, try to pull the slack out of the bar (Dave Tate has a great video on this). Pulling the slack out of the bar will help you build tension in your body (legs, lats, core, etc.) and set you up to initiate the pull. I see this as the icing on the cake for what Bryce has you que up in this video.

[@alexanderjohansson4194]

Great content Bryce! I have heard from some place here on youtube that thinking of placing your shoulder blade directly above the bar would help you find which of the high, medium, low position you show here in the vid that is the best for you. Problem I have with that is that I think all of them do that 😆. Shoulder blades are big. Maybe the low are too far back but the high and medium are close. Do you think there are any help thinking about the shoulder blades? What would you say is your optimal stance Bryce?
