[@Alan-zy9kc]

​​@@TooStrangeIan don't curve you'r back at all, it has to be straight and don't go down more than 20°. If the pain persists, you probably have a weak low back, which can be fixed doing romanian deadlifts and some stretches.

[@aminopro9426]

Not squatting down is correct depending on your purpose of the exercise. If you want to lift as heavy as possible, then having legs in 45 degree angle can help you use more leg drive and lift heavier

[@mattb9664]

Such a good exercise for the back, bottom to top. It elongates my spine for about 3-5 days and prevents cracking. Not sure there are any studies done but when I mention my benefits on various chiropractor channels or chiropractors channels posing as PTs, I would get disregards and shoe-away (like 'you were lucky') type comments. This exercise essentially keeps your back feeling like a mid-20s to mid-30s person for days after doing it.

[@alexclare63]

Perhaps because this exercise is the number one cause of back injuries in the gym. So people don’t like to recommend it universally.

[@Alan-zy9kc]

​@@alexclare63Yeah, it's hard to learn compared to other exercises, but low back will thank you doing it.

[@alexclare63]

@@Alan-zy9kc I think it depends on your own body mechanics. Especially tall people will be more prone to injury from classic deadlifts. Trap Bar deadlifts on the other hand would be a safer option.

[@Alan-zy9kc]

@@alexclare63 True

[@earthwombat]

It's actually a leg exercise... you should only be gripping the bar, but drive through the legs and then the glutes.

Honestly have had so many problems deadlifting and this video was just easy to understand and listen too. A million thumbs up

[@leodegas7731]

I do my deadlifts like you, but I remember when I first started deadlifting at the age of 58. I was afraid so I did a lot of research. I looked at ( i guess ) famous coaches for powerlifting. I remember using the legs to get the weight moving from a dead stop was one of the biggest help for me. My core wasn't developed yet. Now 4 years later (age 62) I do more of a rdl style with no belt, i do 400lbs sets of 4. Definitely not an expert, I am just telling you my experience with this lift. I was afraid of it, and now i love it. It just feels so good. 😊 Oh, and on days that I don't feel like being in the gym, the checklist is the most important thing. I think it saves me from injury when my head is not in it while i do my beginning sets and warm-up. ✌️

[@johnbarriball4257]

I’m super new to the gym and it’s overwhelming trying to learn all the right forms for free weights. Appreciate the easy to understand videos

[@mjc6935]

Your know you are really a epitome or I would say a encouragement for me. Pls don't mistake me, but I'm 5'4" height I feel embarrassed when I see people way too big or taller than me. But you came out of it and already have posted lot of work out videos. I love you man, God Bless You. Please do keep posting.

[@FanAuthor1]

I pulled my back doing Trap Bar deadlifts as a beginner by lifting too heavy in bad form, so I've been scared to return to it. I really appreciate Jeff's breakdown of how to approach a regular deadlift, as I'm resuming the lift now that my back is recovered. Will be following this as I get used to doing the movement. :)

[@dannyazucena3376]

My favourite exercise. At 58 years old, still no lower back pain.

[@AlphaOmega-r3q]

The after effects on your videos are always strongly satisfying great work

[@joes6143]

A game changer for me was to make sure your knees/legs are touching your arms when pulling up. When doing that everything felt tight and solid.

[@Mrempoleon100]

Dude i might not have the goal the build that much muscle like you...but you are definitely my role model.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

Been lifting for over 20 years. Never did deadlifts. Squats, ham curls, and leg extensions forever. Been doing RDLs about 3-4 months, and my hammies and ass have gotten HUGE. Also, of note, nagging SI pain has vanished that has been there on/off for years. I LOVE it now.

[@TheBalaloca]

Really good advice on grabbing the bar with almost straight legs to avoid squatting deadlift Thanks Jeff!

[@theyetti90]

You should do more of these. Great for the youth, and a good reminder too. I don't do that grip anymore after watching someone rip their bicep, though. I do double overhand now.

[@PandemoniuM_123]

Best tip I ever had for deadlift, was to focus on lifting your chest/arms at the start, not with your legs. Changed my form so much for the better.

[@BroIvory]

Best deadlift video 💯

[@stevenboelke6661]

I appreciate that in your example of what not to do you flexed your elbows. I see too many people do that. Deadlifting isn't especially dangerous, but too many people are scared of a torn bicep when it only happens when the lift isn't performed correctly.

[@Gunblastz]

Yeah for that reason it's hard for me to recommend over/under grip to people. Of course it's fine if you use proper technique

[@Shvabicu]

​@@Gunblastzif you aren't competing in powerlifting, straps are essential. No bicep tear risk, no imbalances due to lifting with different grips and no torn skin due to hook grip.

[@vincnt9537]

How is this possible?

[@krishnamoorthi9486]

Hats off to the awesome editors. Looks so cinematic.

[@jameshunt3504]

I agree with everything he explained except on occasion. I do like to squat down if I'm going super crazy heavy. Especially if a little fatigued, it's, it's not going to hurt anything to get a little more push from the legs on a big lift. Just my opinion and trust me. The benefits have paid off over the years.

[@gregd4391]

I always think about driving my heels into the ground and pulling/thrusting my hips foward. One mistake I see a lot of people making is, they are trying to pull with their arms, flexing their bicep and sometimes tearing their bicep. To avoid this, I try to make my arms look ger by flexing by triceps and almost "pushing down" with my triceps and pulling my shoulders down and back.

[@ryandoupe1019]

This is great. The only thing that’s missing is proper core bracing. I feel like that part gets skipped over a lot
