Right in time, on my way to start deadlifting again, did with trap bar last week. Also Jesse is a absolute beast, love to see him pulling these weights.

[@MrSmashandgrab]

I love how all the haters accused Jeff of being weak and instead of just doing the lifts and saying 'See, no i'm not weak' he took this 135lb hardgainer, Jesse, and turned him into a super beast who can deadlift over 500lbs. Jeffs point was like, not only can I do it, but I can coach this scrawny kid to do it too. These guys are playing checkers and Jeff is out here playing that 3D chess. What a GOAT.

[@scorchingstarbhaskar7011]

[@Bananenbereiniger]

Hey guys, a question to everyone and hopefully even Jeff might give an answer to it someday... but do you think working out with only one leg is a good idea? And which exercises would you recommend? The issue is a lower leg amputation in my case. There are times I can´t wear my prothesis and I am always curious if working out would be smart, as it might cause some inbalances. The only things I did in such scenarious so far were push-ups and some other upper body exercises with a latex-band. I think this question also reaches out to people who might have a similar issue, like any injuries etc... I am thankful for every answer, stay humble!

[@TrevorHamberger]

If you do just make sure to do it without ego. Don't get in the habit of trying to cheat. Especially in your situation don't cheat any lifts. Your body is going to want to overcompensate for whatever limb you lost. Don't let it

[@bunnybike3606]

I am a 66kg (big confession: 46 y) old woman. Amongst a AX-program, alot of to-do and not-do to on this channel, I started deadlifting in order to gain strength for cycling. I followed Jeff's how-to an I can now lift 50kg 3x5-6 without any pain in parts that shouldn't hurt (e.g lower back). I work out at home, in the cellar on about 3x2meters between freezer, washing mashine and storage boards with off-seasonal stuff ;-) From my side: great tutorials!

[@leroyjackson6984]

Thanks Jeff and Jesse, your video's truly do help us that suffer in our lifts.

[@johannes01]

Their information is so good!

[@blanco-fd2ix]

Should I do this excercise on leg day, because it's mainly using hamstrings, or on back day, for lower back?

[@yahyaatiya1136]

I just did deadlifts today. I struggle with grip strength. A mixed grip makes it a lot easier. I am currently only on about 60-70% of my weight for 12 reps (about 60kg). Hopefully, I can get that number up now (although I can't do pullups either, let alone weighted pullups lol).

[@wvjeepguy8178]

You'll get there. My deadlifts have improved drastically over a short period of time, but grip strength is starting to be an issue for me also.

[@schiecenzoria1384]

My deadlifts issues are mostly form related but for pullups over the summer i just got a 20 dollar chinup bar off amazon and the first three nights I just practiced dead hangs till I could hang for about a minute then went ahead and tried my first pullup. I will say I've compared the at-home chinup bars and the ones with the ribbed cushions make it so that you don't fail from your hands hurting but frmo muscle fatigue, which is an issue I have with my 20 dollar one

[@Wekkerklok]

Dont mix grip, stay overhand grip. Overhand grip wont be a problem for a long time, as long as you train it. Just hold the weight in your hands for a longer period of time. And if you go into high percentage of your deadlift 1RM, just hold it in the top for 5-10 seconds. Oh, and use chalk, wrap your thumbs properly over your fingers, and squeeze like you try to strange the bar. Like everything with weightlifting; just train it. It takes time, but youll be fine.

[@yahyaatiya1136]

I love this community. Thanks for all the advice guys.

[@nasiryahaya4184]

@@Wekkerklok That's ture to a certain point. A Mixed grip would always be better. Your hand wont simply hold on to the weight no matter how mich grip strength you train. But as you Get some chalk, use mixed grips, use some vesa grips. Deadlift would build your grip with time but you'd always be able to deadlift more than your forearms can hold after a certain weight

I do Romanian deadlifts with dumbbells, but I don't lower the bars past the knees. I also do them for super high reps with a breathing tempo so I don't snap my shit up. When I lowered them to my shins I was always hurting my back; going no further than the knees and doing them for high reps made them a viable exercise for me.

Trap bar deadlifts are a solid alternative to avoid injuries. Not magic, but have some aspects that have helped my crappy form.

I've had back issues for over 20 years. Herniated a disc, so always avoided dl. But picked it up last few years. I started doing his pain free abs work out, and then moved onto light dl. Form is everything, high reps, low weight, just watch it for nerve pain, you'll know if you need to stop. My back is stronger now than its ever been. Best of luck 👍

Jeff, this is an amazing video thank you! You are such an awesome asset to people. I broke my lumbar spine and have also shattered my lower leg and ankle, 4 surgeries between the two injuries. For many years I had no hope of lifting again and being an athlete, thanks to listening too much to the doctor's and not knowing better. Thanks to an incredible physical therapist and you, Jeff, I have come so far even as I deal with ridiculous fucking pain day after day, year after year going on two decades now. It's manageable in great part to knowledge like yours. Your mastery of body mechanics has been a god send. Strength, mobility, mindfulness. At 42 years now with serious chronic injuries to deal with I am strong, I'm capable, I'm resilient! Getting back into training rn after a very very dark 2021 and your vids are helping open the floodgates of motivation and personal power. Thanks so much Jeff for sharing such important knowledge!
