[@Rocket4ce]

Deadlifts will transform your body. No other exercise will do that. Luv luv Deadlifts.

[@ianstokes7791]

Just turned 50 and began a new chapter in my life with weight lifting the last year. Your podcast has helped me in every step of the way for information on lifting and diet. The dead lift im trying to master and really appreciate this master class can't wait to test the waters with all the new information. 💪💪

[@JosiahTheReformer]

Learned to deadlift and squat properly about six weeks ago. Never felt so strong in my life 💪🏻🙌🏻

[@GhostofTez]

It gives real world strength for sure

[@Doxsein]

Get it!!

[@alfiemarie]

i love how adam explains things sm, he's very visual and as a visual learner myself, i appreciate it sm. it really helps me understand things a lot better. like the whole opening a window thing when doing overhead press, picking something up on the floor, shoulder being shrugged forward, the core/spine thing etc.

[@Cvwally85]

Deadlifts are so effective for my back and knee pain. Started practicing with dumbbells and then moved to barbell. I can currently deadlift 185 pounds (w bar) and I weigh approx 190. Love this exercise

[@ispysamm]

you guys can pull me out of any slump! saw this masterclass and immediately got hyped to lift!!! 🏋‍♀

[@rudyspective1870]

I'm really glad I came across this channel! I'm learning so much, listening to you guys. Thank you!

[@nicolehalverson5225]

I love this as I struggle with deadlifts and my low back. Always worried about lifting heavier.

[@brianmason9859]

You guys convinced me to incorporate deadlift back into my routine.

[@Baggins511]

I liked this before I’d even watched it. Nothing like waking up and finding the new podcast is a Deadlift master class. Looking forward to this one.

[@melaniebrunell8720]

I’ve been waiting for an episode like this!!! So, so pumped! The deadlift is my favorite compound movement, and I am so excited to put into practice all the guys advise here. And Adam’s comment that he thinks the deadlift is the king of all exercises…Heck yeah! Thank you MindPump as always!

[@ParadeTheGospel]

I’m excited just to try it for the first time! People have really been talking this thing up so I’m going to give it a go and start easy because I don’t want to goof this movement up!

[@dfence7186]

Video just on time. Started working out about 3-4 months ago & planned on doing less isolated exercises & more of the big compound exercises. Most definitely adding this 😎👍🏾

[@leahemmerich4016]

Your masterclass series is one of my favorites I watch or listen to each several times. They are so helpful, thank you!

[@AntonioR22]

this master classes are awesome.... especially since I am a new personal trainer, I am getting lots of information and a better way to explain to my clients the how and why we are doing what we are doing. thanks to all of you!

[@elenajensen17]

I'm a CPT and absolutely love the content you guys share. Definitely my favorite Podcast! Always learn something new. Thank you!! 🙏

[@wagnerd19]

One of the most complete video about deadlifting on YT. Hail from Brazil!

[@felipecardenas1027]

Hello(: I’m new to the community!! So my whole life I’ve always wanted to have my own businesses and a week ago today actually i told myself that i just gotta do it and start now. I searched best personal training certification and one of your videos popped up and honest to god it was the first and only video i saw. After watching that video i booked a call with NCI and starting next month i will be in their level 1 course. I know you guys said y’all work with them, not sure if y’all get a part of the money or whatever, but the fact that y’all were telling people to go to different places and not just to get your stuff speaks volumes about the kind of people y’all are and i love that. Now after watching more videos i know for sure that what i initial thought about you guys was right. Y’all are amazing truthful people, who truly want to help others. I will forever be apart of y’all’s community no matter what!! I would really love to win the giveaway and if y’all wanna throw in the starter bundle i wouldn’t be upset(: if not it’s cool I’ll just continue to save to get it one day!! Hope y’all have a great day and thank you for everything!!!

[@vLunaNightsky]

I am here within the 1st minute of this going live. Notification Gang!!

[@Enrikay100]

You guys have changed my life. I'm currently listening to your older pod casts on Spotify.

[@kenyavalentine9219]

I pray that this podcast hits 500k by the end of this year. Hands down the best

[@claymonaro68]

Thank you guys, it was a great surprise to have another Masterclass, on a Thursday aswell. I thought they were all over. The priming portion will be used from now on. Thanks again guys

[@artocain]

I have watched a ton of your content, but this one was so full of information that I feel like I need to rewatch it about four times. I've been deadlifting for about 30 years and reps have always been touch and go reps. No one has ever told me to stop and put the bar down between every rep. I feel stupid for doing it wrong for so long. Thank you! I did deadlift last night, but I can't wait for my next deads workout so I can do it right.

[@mybigboogerable]

As a 45ish old man who's ran through anabolic, performance and aesthetic . I truly appreciate all of the hard work you guys have put into all of your content. Thank you all for everything 🙏 💯🔝💪👍

[@MindPumpShow]

Winner Winner! Please email Ann [e-mail] with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up!

[@KCJeremy16]

Thanks again for the master class! I appreciate the focus on proper form and preventing injury. I tweaked my back with bad form about a year and a half ago. Since focusing on proper form I am so much stronger and have less risk of injury today.

[@ComebackTrainer]

I did Rows for years trying to get my back stronger. I started focusing on Deadlift about 2 years ago and I have noticed a huge difference in the entire back side of my body. Way more then rows ever did

[@pastorv5943]

Great episode! I have been working more on my deadlift. Currently in phase two of Maps Strong and loving the feel of my body feeling strong.

[@barbellbeautypr]

Perfect timing for this video! My hips rise and I'm working to get this fixed! Good tips!

[@DohJinMin]

Hello Mind Pump my beloved podcast! I am back to listen to another video of yours! 🥰

[@indigobuttrfly]

Love the master classes…really help me to understand the movements & then I share them with my teenager who just started working out. Been using dumbbells up until now, but will be hitting the barbell at the next gym session!

[@elizabethjahnke1351]

Love this episode! I'm always happy to have more tips to keep my deadlifts correct and strong.

[@PiratedSardar]

I deadlifted twice a week for a couple months and definitely started to feel the traditional signs of overtraining. I did cut back to once a week but I feel like that’s not stimulating enough for me somehow. Love the advice to go heavy and light in the same week, definitely gonna try that out

[@dannyrivera2]

I deadlifted earlier today 😊 It’s an extremely useful exercise when performed appropriately.

[@jandaw6869]

Thank you Mindpump for always giving us good and timely content.

[@annametcalf5230]

Thank you for this! I’m always trying to improve my form with deadlifts!

[@scottbennett3765]

Mind Pump continuing to provide a PhD level education for the masses! Thanks for all you do. Let’s go! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@mdjardinado]

Love the deadlift! i've only got a few plates so I am really working on slow reps and making sure i have enough time under tension. Forgot about the bands until this episode. Thank you so much.

[@Doxsein]

Try to also explore using the weight ur doing for slow reps and doing some quicker touch and go reps, it'll be good to introduce a new way of doing it too

[@TheReign5136]

Few thoughts, definitely need to revisit my technique and this shows me things that I need to work on and refine. Also needed to hear about the shortcomings, failures, the need to positively progress and not just chase numbers plus hearing someone say that the hook grip isn't the end all solution. Great info as always and a great reminder to dial it back sometimes if I feel the basics and mechanics are what need to be practiced at the cost of big #s.

[@fortunatelebelo259]

Undeniably best podcast in the fitness space, informative,corrective best advice always 👌

[@yizhanhe3827]

The deadlift has always been my favorite but brought me the most injuries... Love the information from this episode!!

[@huckjunoy]

Such a value masterclass! Thanks guys!

[@ejlima]

Love the Master Class series. Made me rethink some of my deadlifting habits.

[@K4R3N]

Great session guys. Went little heavy couple weeks back deadlifting but back is healed now so I'm gonna get back to this but little lighter

[@strawberryyogurt0]

What did you do to ‘heal’ your back? I know my technique or bracing was off when I feel soreness in my back during or the day after my deadlift session. If my legs were sore, that would be a good deadlift session. Currently out of commission after my deadlift session Monday. Had to skip my PM squat session later that day. I’m guessing I’m probably looking at a 2 weeks timeframe.

[@eduenas1999]

I’ve been waiting for a deadlift master class!! Thank you for another great episode!!

[@The_4th_Raikage]

Definitely my favorite exercise. I used to get so much low back pain doing it. But I thought that was natural. It took years to figure out what I was doing wrong. Now I try to explain to my wife how to do it (unsuccessfully lol) but the way u guys explain it will definitely help her and me as well. Thanks guys for all the valuable information!

[@irenaQ]

These master class episodes are becoming my favourite. Fine tuning is always necessary.

[@MindPumpShow]

Absolutely!

[@melaniewoolley4189]

Awesome video, thank you! Deadlifts are by far my favourite exercise. Love the technicalities of it and there’s just nothing like that feeling when you get a great lift!

[@sureshkarda7095]

Getting back into weight lifting and enjoying deadlifts. This episode has been helpful. Shout out from the UK!

[@laurensimpson174]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING. I just completed a 16 week program and throughout it I was doing RDL's 2-3x weekly. I am talking 4 sets of 10-12. I would attempt to do my max lifts at these. I am a straight up lifting fiend and this program had me so sore and my energy extremely low. Needless to say, I was 100% overtraining. This content, and all of your content, has been so helpful to me. I have been lifting about 2.5 years and so I am an absolute learner and will remain one (in all aspects of life). This is why lol.

[@jerondu]

Sooo helpful! I started deadlifting for the first time a month ago and it’s now my favorite compound lift. Something that would be supper helpful is how form might be impacted based on body type (e.g. short/long legs, arms, torso) and body type specific cues. Thanks! 🙏🏽

[@dbzgtcrazy]

I did a Starting Strength style program for like 7-8 months and got my major lifts up FAST. I'm changing up my program a little bit now but once I get back to a "pure strength" phase with the big lifts again I want to work toward a powerlift meet just for fun. I need to get my deadlift up another 50lbs or so if I can. Can't wait to listen to the rest of this one!!

[@janisjames7801]

Great break down! I listened to this last night, applied what I learned in the morning and surprise surprise - it helped!

[@sebastianholmes5020]

I bought MAAPS anabolic and I’m almost done with week one and I love it. I went the advanced route because I’ve already been lifting for a couple years now and it’s been a great program!

[@jessefast8067]

The fellas back at it again, mastering the masterclass

[@louied4985]

Love the show good info. I have torn tendon in my right hand and always done the over under with my grip, and have noticed imbalances on my upper traps will definitely practice over grip

[@thefox1703]

Excellent, this is the most complete deadlift video I have ever seen!

[@MindPumpShow]

💪

[@stefaniestoltz3549]

Got a trainer to teach me barbell lifts because I started listening to you guys. Excited to try these cues! Thanks!

[@isabel47388]

I lisen to you guys everyday on my 45ish min walk to mye gym. I'm currently on Maps Aestetic, and today is deadlift day!🥳

[@spedkidbiggy1535]

Very informative. I just happen to have dead lift day yesterday. I can definitely improve on my form after watching this.

[@user-ou6bk4iz8k]

Deadlifts have been the key to growing my glutes and back 💞💜💖🙃

[@king-nick2023]

Try weighted pull-ups and watch your back blow up

[@Doxsein]

Deadlifts blew up my rector spinae

[@nmorrison]

Absolutely love all of your content and knowledge you share. I love your programs, I have Prime, Anabolic, Aesthetic and Symmetry. Thanks guys!!

[@chronomasakari]

Ah the podcast dedicated to the workout that is both my favorite and least favorite hour of my week. Looking forward to this.

[@charmingrichie]

Great info. Deadlift was one of my weakest lifts as I had never done one before I started my first MAPS program, Anabolic, 9 Months ago. I have continued to improve my deadlift but excited to use these tips to excel.

[@MindPumpShow]

Dude that's awesome! Maps Powerlift would be so good for you!! products.mindpumpmedia.com/a/2147504622/RpoCHFse

[@hectortheone23]

Thank you for the episode. A lot of questions answer with this video.

[@WillieMN]

since my cancer surgeries, I have to focus on maintaining bone density. Deadlift is one of the top of my movement focus this year. The reminder of what a deadlift is - pause on the floor. Not touch and go. THANK YOU!

[@sarahanthony900]

I just started anabolic and hired a trainer for 4 sessions just to perfect my deadlift, this episode was so valuable to my goals right now, great episode guys!

[@christianlopez2716]

Thanks for the information going to use it for my powerlifting training and for the kids and clients I’m training

[@bradythealbanian5196]

Awesome content as always thanks guys I have not deadlifted in while because of back issues I need some coaching!

[@DrawinGreen]

On my deadlift days, i always make sure to come back to this episode. I listen to it while i prepare and have my breakfast in the morning. Valuable information. 🤲🏻🥰

[@MindPumpShow]

Good stuff!

[@teddyogoye4077]

So much knowledge 👌🏾❤️

[@tpap6827]

Another great video. I always avoided straps when I lifted at a gym that allowed chalk and had deep knurling on the bar. Then I was at a commercial gym and figured You can work your grip and still use straps to continue to lift heavy. If you can deadlift 700 on some shitty health club bar with straps then use the double over which I do until 405 (straps for 495,585 and 675) and get straps for the higher weight,(the only difference I notice is with chalk I set my feet then drop my hands to the bar quickly which primes me. With straps I am down by the bar for 30 seconds unless I am in my home gym with chalk. I do this rarely all singles. I hit 605 for 6 with leather straps and a belt (that workout plus 3 follow up sessions literally put slabs of muscle on what is already a body part that is dominant. The best deadlift assistance for me are glute ham raised, 45 degree back raise with a loaded bar off floor or far less weight across the back. Zercher squats and hanging leg raises with ankle weights are my favorite trunk stability assistance exercises.

[@rashaka9455]

Back in 09 I was lifting 315 3 sets of 12. And I feel like my form wasn’t all 100 percent, but I was gain strength.. never had low back pain just soreness after working out… You guys helped me get a better form n I’m climbing from 165LB slowly building

[@LYSMartin]

Great information, I had issues with grip during deadlifts

[@WhoFlungDung]

I don't know why, but I've always done touch and go and thought that was normal. Now I've learned that I get a 3 second rest pause at the bottom! Awesome!

[@mpac418]

So I want to say thank you for another great master class. Also I watch your deadlift video on mindpump TV and it also help my son with his deadlift technique. I totally agree about the grip position. I do over hand grip until I can no longer. I not sure which was helping the other. When it comes to grip only. I wasn't sure if the dead lift was helping me or heavy dumbell shrugs? But whichever one was getting stronger, so was the other. I also love the suggestion of the priming with the prone cobra, combat stretch and supine Scorpion. I have never done it and I will try this on Saturday.

[@aidennichter1327]

What a great episode! I love to deadlift!

[@ara912]

Finally get here earlier lol.. thanks guys for all your context you rock!!! Where can I send my question about training my son to go to a bodybuilding show?? Thanks ahead of time

[@masondavis5831]

Just decided to put deadlifts in my program last week excited to finally have the balls to do them

[@KingTutVIPER]

Great detail!!! Very good episode.

[@mailorlee2]

I've come to love deadlifting more because of you guys🙌🥰.

[@JAbdulQahhar]

This was just what I needed, thank you!

[@MindPumpShow]

You're so welcome!

[@pawel_pawlak_odkrywca]

Hook Grip 180kg here. BW: 79-80kg 16:53

Woo.. Bw 70kg, 140 kg

[@TheTruth0022]

Perfect timing with today being deadlift day 💪

[@miamarlow3963]

This was so informative and it was great to listen too 😃

[@jennmaldonado9870]

Love listening to you guys, great information 💪🏼

[@zeroflaw]

I love deadlifts. I look forward to that day in the anabolic program

[@plantjuicedaryan]

Big fan of deadlifts 🙌🏻 Thanks for this ❤

[@Rebelwellnesslmt]

I love dead lifts! No one ever talks about the imbalances we can create/develop and I've never heard trainers, coaches talk to clients about imbalances. Thank you for putting your content out there. Personal thingie: I have been a massage therapist for 15 years, had to retire my hands due to over use. I've been called a cheater for using wrist straps. "You have to build strength in grip!" No shit! Like I don't know that. However I do not walk around with a sign describing why I wear wrist grippies. Am I harming my lifts by using wrist wraps/grips?

[@justinreynolds7883]

Just really getting into deadlifts glad to see this

[@ranjitsagoo]

Why didI avoid deadlifts for so long! What a waste of gains in my youth. Great tips and wish I had this info 20 years ago. Thanks for the awesome content Mindpump! 💪🔥

[@heavenboulevard]

Thanks for this, I’ve deadlifted before but definitely was doing it wrong with too much weight for my strength back then and I always had some kind of pain. Is it a good idea to start with the trap bar now?

[@Doxsein]

U could try using trap bar to reintroduce the mechanic, and progressively transition to conventional/sumo/whichever form ur going for

[@FitGuysOver60]

I started deadlifting at 52 to strengthen my lower back after a disc herniation. At 62 I still deadlift 180kg at 81 kg body weight and slowly increasing the weight again each week. Definitely an essential strengthening back exercise.

[@tentrashcanmen]

Great episode as always, thanks guys! On the topic of grip strength - I suffer from osteoarthritis along my right thumb (From the base through carpomecarpal joint to the interphalengeal joints). Using double over grip is really really tough as I can barely close my right hand. Under such circumstances would it be better to use straps, or an over (left) + under (right) grip for DLs? (At the moment I'm using the latter - any pros / cons over straps?)

[@the1kidcouple210]

Agree on how different the movements are. They complement each other IMO. My programming switched from conventional to sumo during de-load weeks. And same with squat - back squats mostly and front squats during de-load.

[@FernTheBull]

This got suggested at just the right time ! I just started to deadlift, although, have been doing RDLS Would you say that RDLs can be performed 3-4 times a week or best to go with 1-2 ?

[@outpost31737]

Thanks Mind Dudes!

[@rubenvaldez238]

This episode is gold

[@JohnMcCullah]

I deadlifted yesterday, now I have to wait a week for some of these tips!

[@vincentleduc7467]

Great episode! Will certainly try sumo deadlift to break my plateau. Thank you! 🤘

[@ParisFitness]

Great content. 🔥🔥🔥Subscribed and looking forward for future content!!

[@WileyHyena]

These guys are fun to listen to. I'd love to see them interview Rippetoe on one of their podcasts. That would be worth recording. lol Only problem I have is this notion about lowering the hips. They're saying that makes the lift more like a "squat" and that's bad. I disagree. The lower you can get your hips without moving the bar with your shins, the better. The first 6 inches of the deadlift should be primarily a leg exercise, then let the lower back kick in for the finish.
