My Simple Approach To Stronger Deadlifts

[@OmarIsuf]

I've talked about the bench press, the squat, now let us talk about the deadlift. Here is how I am programming my deadlifts these days.

[@edupzz0494]

Gutted my man my dead lift was beast mode like yours 6 plates now its weak as shit and my squat n bench are insane done 315 flat bench 10 reps. 1 rep 150kg incline

[@michaeldoubleday1118]

Always keeping it real, much respect Omar!

[@tubbytoad]

Gravity in Toronto is actually 0.16% higher than Los Angeles. So assuming the 45lbs were calibrated to Los Angeles they would weigh 45.07lbs each in Toronto. So your 602lbs lift in Toronto would actually be 603lbs in Los Angeles.

[@jeffreyvanco1164]

Volume in conventional Deadlift is a one way ticket to back injuries. The fatigue builds over the weeks, and boom. Strained something. I've trained this way for 5 years. It doesn't work long term. Cycle your DL poundage, pull a top set, go bodybuild the assistance work.

[@bkb04g]

I appreciate you pulling like a man with conventional stance, double overhand and without straps. 600lbs like a boss.

[@BrianPvanOers]

It's a hookgrip though, not any more or less impressive than a over under grip imo, but lifting 600lb is impressive no matter which grip is used.

[@Sonofshane1]

And Dan Green (Mr Sumo) isn’t a man? 🙄

[@parveskoyes9937]

Hey Omar, can I still build a strong body if I do Sumo deadlifts? Whenever I do conventional I feel hip pain when I pull it off the floor 😐

[@parveskoyes9937]

imabanana Will try block pulls to see if it helps, thanks friend 🙏

[@gerardochirichigno6051]

Try and focus on internal rotation of the femur where the femur inserts at the hip. This will help with full engagement of the pelvic floor and recruit proper firing of glute med and min. This will hopefully fix that hip pain.

[@scottpoll6357]

I used to think sumo deadlifts were gay. I don’t think that way anymore. I say go for sumo if you like it better.

[@thegreatguy6340]

You seem to grip it quite wide for conventional. Is this to engage lats better?

[@firstname565]

The IPF study would most certainly be skewed by the % of people pulling sumo one would think.

[@beefbroth6539]

Not just sumo deadlifts. There's also the smaller 130lb peeps with long arms. There's at least 3 of them in my gym who can deadlift over 4x their bodyweight (The highest was 4.5x bw in a meet). I'm not dismissing their hardwork and dedication because they do work really really hard to get there, but their deadlifts are relatively way way higher than their bench and squats.

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

@@beefbroth6539 yeah um bullshit....that 4 x bodyweight would be among the most insane Wilks ever.

[@beefbroth6539]

@@Isaiah_McIntosh That's why I said smaller 130lb guys. Wills heavily favour lighter lifters. One of those guys holds a GPA record. 58kg bodyweight, 260kg deadlift with no belt and no sleeves.

@@beefbroth6539 Frankly my initial comment was silly. I am incredulous of someone claiming they know at least 3 people who are super elites in their gym. That's probably a really great training environment to train in.

[@beefbroth6539]

@@Isaiah_McIntosh No worries. Yeah it's a pretty neat gym if you're into Olympic lifting and powerlifting. Was just adding my anecdotal observations to the video's claim that deadlifts don't rely on bodyweight/muscle mass as much as squats or bench press do.

[@LegendaryBrandon1]

Just ended my knee and shin workout week looking forward to next weeks. Also what's your opinion on supinated deadlift, if you can do them for chinups why not deadlifts?

[@finallychangedthis]

Sorry I’m 11 months late lol.. but chin-ups involve elbow flexion, which is something you want to avoid when deadlifting because it can lead to bicep tears. When we supinate, we tend to try to curl the weight more so than overhand grip, which puts A LOT of strain on the bicep and can lead to injury. This is why most deadlift bicep tears are on the supinated arm’s bicep in mixed grip

[@elliot438bcfcVTEC]
