Hope you guys enjoyed the deadlift mini-series! Dips next week!!

[@joebibby9064]

Jeff Nippard Having huge problems with my shoulders and it’s effecting my lifts. Have been working my rotator cuffs and have been practicing shoulder mobility. Have u got any tips to help me overcome shoulder pain. Also I know a lot of people who struggle with this so have thought it would make a good video

[@teardown028]

Hey I love your videos! I'm having a strange issue with deadlifts- my ribs feel like they are popping into my abs while doing deadlifts- even with a belt on... I've tried different postures as well :/ please help thanks!!

[@adambeer1171]

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in Jeff. This channel is a fountain of knowledge and you help me and hundreds of thousands others to stay improving❤️

Yes!!! Dips are definitely a weak point for me so looking forward to that

[@halelloyd]

1. Lower back rounding [ 0:29 ] 2. Hips lifting too early [ 3:40 ] 3. None vertical shins [ 4:44 ] 4. Over extending on lockout [ 5:40 ]

Awesome, I asked for this on the last video. Thanks Jeff! My lifts have shown so much improvement and your videos have had a tremendous impact on that. Love your channel and appreciate all your hard work.

[@PhillipCummingsUSA]

I've just started implementing deadlifts and these videos helped understand correct form. I'm grateful of the internet age and quality content providers educating the general public.

[@markdraper4087]

Never commented before. Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. The advice you give, and the way you present it, is nothing less than invaluable. I'm just making my way back from a herniation of the L4 disc(11 weeks), and deadlifts are going well. Gotta swallow my pride doing half of what I was doing pre injury, but I'm getting there. Your instruction helps a lot.

[@24BitZz]

Jeff is making the most casual day of the week a highpoint for me. Nothing like having a killer workout, finishing meal prep then watching technique Tuesday before bedtime.

[@_ptoni_]

The best series on KZbin! Congrats from Brazil

[@darkwingduck-2-1]

Maybe the best technique video I've ever seen. Searched for a deadlift error fixing video, found this one first and it already helped me a lot. Great video, Jeff!

[@christinamiller9134]

I love Technique Tuesday so much! Constantly correcting form is so important and I use these to double check what I'm doing and take recommendations to fix minor (or possibly major) errors. I always want to make sure my form is basically perfect before I even think about upping weight so I don't hurt myself and I get the most out of the exercise. Thank you so much for these videos!

[@vevitier]

Jeff is just an outstanding guy. These are all very well done and the editing is getting better by the video. Great Stuff Jeff!

[@Wallace_Fitness_Center]

Hey Jeff, great video. I notice one of the things that happened with me was that my upper back started rounding and then my lower back followed. I didnt have the muscular control to maintain thoracic rounding without the low back following. Pendlay rows helped me out with this. I created a video like this about the top 3 deadlift mistakes I see. We had one common mistake but a few different mistakes that we see. Anyway, I’m a huge fan, great vid.

[@TheJolleyBoy]

Thanks for all the advice, I’ve been putting it into practice and I’m seeing great progress.

[@elizabethrios2005]

Thank you for quality content 👏🏽 can’t wait to perfect my form.

[@SchoolOfMuscle]

I commented asking for a hip thrust tutorial but you've already made one! My memory is garbage. Great series, excited for the dips episode! Thanks Jeff

[@santinodewreede3955]

Love that you hit rounding of the back first. A little upper back is going to be natural on heavy lifts. But gotta try to keep the lower back locked in

The hip lift might be my problem wow thanks Man. My back is very straight no rounding but I definitely dropped my hips too low and it hurt my back a few times, this explained why

pump of which part?

Bruh if you get a pump on deadlift you're doing it wrong

[@nismoaltima1326]

@@corynorell3686 bruh you're fucking stupid. He's meaning as you're doing the movement all your muscles pop out and give you a pumped look. Looks like you're not doing it right and going heavy enough to see that.

6:08 Bro Jeff poses for the camera saying, "Dude I'm so jacked I can take a heavy Deadlift into a shrug and still have energy to give the camera some love." King Kong ain't got $h!t on me, indeed (reference to a previous video there. A joke clip from a movie. I'm aware that casual swearing is crass.) Great video as always Jeff.

[@GHETTOBOX180]

You should do some videos on how to deal with injuries and injury prevention. It's a pretty broad topic that I feel gets overlooked by many. All those aches and pains just become part of lifting for some people and it's not healthy in regards to longevity and quality of life.

[@ZacharyLaid]

I still manage to always snap up my lower back when I do these so I just do straight legged deads instead for the hams and squat regular for quads.

[@user-cd5kp2qd5l]

Same

[@LAGman91]

Experiment with the lift and breathing. Stuff legged can be good as an accessory but at least for me I would still deadlift once a week for 1 or 2 sets (depending on your strength which can affect recovery the heavier you go) for a systematic response in strength

[@jjwp-ql5rv]

*you aren't driving with your legs* deadlift isn't really a back excercise like people think it is. You drive with your legs and hinge at the hips. You don't pull with your back. If you do them properly, you shouldn't get DOMS or aching or pain, whatever you want to call it, in your lower back.

[@nismoaltima1326]

@@jjwp-ql5rv um the deadlift still builds the spinal Erectors so yes you should still feel soreness in the lowerback, not pain but soreness.

[@LAGman91]

Just be wary of your legs pushing the bar away from the centre of mass (mid foot) which is closer to the lower back=less strain on it
