The Proper Way to Perform the Conventional Deadlift (Part I)

[@SuperRoo74]

By chance do those plates glow in the dark?

[@senpai4997]

YES!

[@bingewatchshorts]

I was seriously thinking this same exact thing.

[@IceColdGamingx]

Just run em over

[@alexswartz5639]

The part about it being a hip hinge back when you bend down to grab the bar helped me. I've been squatting it up basically.

[@standardgood5621]

I'm a physical therapist, and all the little details of the video are correct- very well done and explained

[@shellytanner]

Being a physical therapist does not qualify you as someone to take deadlifting advice from. Jeff CavaLiar has proven that.

[@casstherealtor4110]

I just got an online coach a couple of months ago and since she’s been giving me my workouts Splits and I have been looking up proper form to do different exercises. This by far has been the most informative tutorial for a exercise! Thank you so much I’m going to go and kill this work out now!

[@amyklym6680]

I know this video is 4 years old but I just wanted to say thank you for posting this it has helped me I can now do deadlifts with out pain in my back from doing it wrong

[@kellyfennessey404]

Same.. I keep going back to this video. One of these days I will get it right 😀

[@iscreamloyalty887]

This is one of the hardest exercises I have ever done holy shit man Having a perfect form is a must 😭

[@manuelruiz3488]

No joke the simple tips and insights you guys give have helped me with my lifts. Thanks a bunch gents!

[@KnuckleHead1983]

I totally agree. They explain everything so well and to the T. These guys are amazing

[@alyssamosteller3441]

Watched this video before doing MAPS Aesthetic phase 3 today. Definitely helped me out! I made sure to reset before doing another rep, and I was able to add on 20 more pounds using the Olympic grip!! You guys are my inspiration!

[@manlyphal959]

The deadlift is the most fun lift imo. Good times! A slight pause in between reps to reposition is brilliant.

[@CoudenML]

I want to thank you thank you thank you for keeping your butt down when lifting.

[@csederlund]

Watching older videos compared to newer ones, you can really see how much more detail they go into now.

[@raulitosway3279]

Idk of this tip will help anyone out but my shoulders were internally rotated. Externally rotating before the lift helped me able to retract and bring down my shoulders. It helped taking the weight out of my arms and kept my back yight. You know your deadlift is working if you feel your flutes acrivated before even lifting.

[@ABSCrunchFit28]

Love this one guys and am taking part in a DL Competition at my local gym Saturday!

[@cldvideo-rd1bn]

Does the guy in white shorts skip leg day? He looks lika cartoon character, i cant take him seriously teaching a technique

[@AntonyStubbs]

Hey guys! might be good to have also mentioned something about coordinating the knee with the hip movement. I have trouble explaining it to people and I'm not even sure I have it down set myself. I.e. the timing with straightening the legs and the hinging at the top of your legs, not banging your knees, scraping your shins, riding your thighs etc.. Which comes first etc and when do you change over... Ah - just noticed it says part 1... P.s. love the podcast. Long time listener. Will write a review soon I promise ;)

[@adamschafer342]

Excellent point

I only have dumbbells. Can I do a conventional deadlift with them and see results?

[@MindPumpTV]

OF course!

[@jareddudley9722]

Thanks guys. Great info!

[@altugbey1]

I could not understand why we should contract scapula and shoulder blades? Doesnt it cause an incrase in range of motion?

[@thanosetsitty1896]

Great tips

[@dottlja1]

I just learned so many things in 5 minutes. 😂 thanks!

[@dylanmichael5160]

You guys convinced me dead lifts are great for building overall strength. Never dead lifted before. Watchung this so my form isn't complete garbage haha.

[@saadraoui8419]

Don't skip the legs day

[@funkybob7772]

People are even skipping calves on their leg days

[@Account2129]

Yh, I do cardio

[@themailman8038]

Okay! Now I see Adam rockin the chucks.

[@ronniegonzales6796]

What if I only have 100lbs to work with - I have bowflex adjustable dumbells with a Jayflex bar attachment... I previously had a lumbar fusion and always a little weird about bending and pulling type of movements.

[@florme6494]

Keep the back straight to me is the most important. Will my legs become as tiny as this guy if I do dead lifts?

[@matthewarvin3089]

no lol 😂 dead lifts don’t reduce calf size

[@chuckyp7058]

😂

[@alexandervandenesse6485]

Drive with your legs, similar to the motion of the leg press.

[@JesusMartinez-ih7jx]

awesome video! can you guys talk about the bodys position when going down to set the bar on the ground. i've seen a lot of people arch their back or keeping their legs straight when going down. what should be the correct way? newbie lol...

[@winfree95]

Great Video...Thx guyz!

[@darrenflynn1564]

Should the bar slide up ur shins or a slight gap between shins and the bar?

[@mslailamay]

He said “this is a little light” and I’m thinking that’s what I’m lifting💀💀💀💀

[@meg27mm]

Thanks boys!

[@MARS72JJ]

I want dem plates

[@lutherbraxton536]

Fking love you guys, thank for everything

[@artoffalconry5162]

So I have a little fat and no matter my belt placement, it pinches my fat and it hurts but also doesn’t allow me to bend back down properly. Any advice anyone? Thanks.

Should my toes facing outside or the front?

[@lemoi6462]

How much does converse pay you? ^^

[@igotudave]

Adam I like your show especially the back episode. However, for those with old low back injuries deadlifts may not be possible. I've been doing rack pulls as ive been told not to lift from the floor. Even stiff leg deads on ham day leaves me with pain the next day and had to remove them. What do you suggest to build a complete back if you have low back restrictions?

[@adamschafer342]

Sounds like we need to work on your mobility . What kind of surgery did you have ?

[@MrFrancheezy]

igotudave back extensions be creative n take it slow if your rehabbing especially

Isnt his hips too low?

[@chandlerbingbong]

Yup. I see so many people bouncing the weights off the floor.

[@dmitruz1900]

I dont like deadlift. I am wondering why all bars rotating in your hands instead of being un moving. It is hard ro hold bar when its rotate. I hate it.

[@Please_allow_me]

You either need to work on grip strength, used mixed grip or use straps

[@Jackiemartinez2197]

If you are just starting the deadlift how can you modify this exercise? (I.e. Can't lift 45 lb plates on each side for the bar to be lifted at the proper height)

[@AntonyStubbs]

Ideally your gym will have extremely light number plates. Ie same size as 45's but weigh 5. Other wise, I have the same question 😁

[@cress1974]

If your gym doesn't have bumper plates . You can lay some plates on the floor and put some 5s or 10s and pull off the plates on the floor.

[@studentkenpo]

Don't worry about bar height. Use whatever plates you have access to/are able to lift. If you are using a smaller plate, let's say 25lbs, you will be starting the move from a deeper position and there is nothing wrong with that.

[@sonja4164]

Anybody else have trouble not hitting themselves in the pills with the bar? I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong but dang it's hard to feel excited about deadlifting when I know I'm going to get nut tapped on every rep.

[@markbotello6575]

I think an excellent way to capture the sheer multi-muscle chain of this amazing exercise is to have the fall guy take off his shirt. It would be a community service. Thank you.

Your back should be flat. Dont hunch your back

[@nobodyxxxxxxxx]

Shut your face

[@boxerfencer]

Sal: The conventional deadlift a great hypertrophy exercise?!?! Shit, no muscle goes through a full range of motion on it and it is more fatiguing than any other exercise. "great back developer"?? Do the lats go through a full range of motion in a deadlift?? And as for the deadlift improving strength everything else, the same could be said of the squat, and without the cost of excessive fatigue and without the same degree of risk because of bad technique, bad athropomology, and or mobility. Guys, leave the powerlifting lifts to powerlifters, and stick to general strength.

[@longb1913]

boxerfencer He said hypertrophy as in growth in back THICKNESS, lat pulleys and pull ups and such work your lat which is the muscle responsible for making your back WIDER. Learn the difference

[@boxerfencer]

"It's a posterior chain movement. So, you're working all the back side of the body. It's a great back muscle developer, overall" (1:07). Learn to listen to what's said. And even if Sal were to say that it was a great muscle thickness developer, there's no full ROM. Learn basic biomechanics as to how it relates to hypertrophy.

[@AmritP]

yeah i dunno if hypertrophy is a great word to use here, but it's definately a good exercise which every person who wants to get stronger should hit!

[@Confused_Philosopher]

Wrong type of grip. A proper deadlift uses a reverse grip, one palm facing out one palm facing in. So he started wrong

[@novaleequinn]

Thank you guys, those tips were sooo useful.💖🦾
