Most clear and concise exposition, and even includes the valsalva breathing options! You are a God-send 🙏🕊️🌊😇🤩😎

Thanks very much - I’m glad it was useful!

Perfect explanation, the golden rules of deadlifting 🥇

[@TestifySC]

Thanks, Mark!

Great video! The only extra thought I had is that sometimes I have to tell myself to PUSH with my legs instead of to PULL with my arms and back. But still it's SAME SAME. Thanks!

[@TestifySC]

Absolutely - the cue “push the floor” is a great cue and one that we use often. You might appreciate this video that we did a while ago: The Deadlift: Use Your Knees, Baby! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4qVaH6cpM6EhK8 Also, thanks for the kind words!

Awesome video! Keep up the good work! How fast do you recommend that one lowers the bar? Mark said it should be as fast as possible without dropping.

[@TestifySC]

Thanks for the kind words, and will do! Lowering the deadlift should indeed be quite quick. Here’s a few examples of lowering it efficiently in a deadlift-related video we put out about a week ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZCUgpuprZl1iKM (check the 0:43 mark as well as the 1:23 mark approximately).

fake. this setup results in your hips being unnecessarily high. you can easily drop the hips more while keeping the barbell over the middle of the foot.
