segason6 I will be honest and say it took 2 years LOL but yeah huge improvements. It’s easy to fix if you just stop getting stronger for a while but changing a huge imbalance/technique issue like that while still progressing strength is hard. Plus I didn’t know what the problem was for a while

I appreciate your content. I stopped dead lifting for a while because if pain in my low back. I have the same issues where my low back is arched. I am also only 100lbs. I watched your videos. Started working on my glutes and hamstrings. Yesterday I deadlifted 115lbs for three sets of 5. I couldn't do 95lbs a month ago. And 115 felt easy! Thanks for all the help. Keep up with the videos!

Thanks Brendan! Awesome video, the bracing and breathing really helps neutralize my back and completely eliminate burping problem I had during deadlift(I used to have a lot of burping problem when I set up brace and breath from the bottom). There is 1 problem that arise from 3rd reps and 4th reps onwards, I am not sure when to breath in and holding my breath that long causes me to lose tightness.

For multiple reps, how do you brace without resetting? Especially glutes, it’s only being tightened at the top position.
@BlGGESTBROTHER3 жыл бұрын
I never understood why coaches say to squeeze your glutes because the glutes are basically impossible to keep taunt as you move through the squat/deadlift pattern.

Brace at the top if each rep. Its easier to get a full breath in at lockout
@dragonchr152 жыл бұрын
reset between each rep....do one full rep, immediately stand up, brace, then do the next rep. it's actually better than doing the reps straight through as you are picking up the barbell from a rest and not "bouncing" as his warning says, it may not be a good idea to try to do multiple reps on one breath like he did...you may pass out

@BrendanTietz6 жыл бұрын
rabfit from what I understand the effects are all similar depending on the base compound. The powerlifting world that uses gear seems to be really split on how they do it. Some use a lot with a ton of different stuff and some use very little. Idk if there’s any real clear cut answers out there and idk much about it.
@hannakurt6 жыл бұрын
Thanks my dear Brendan...nice to see you again! The breath technic was the best and the most import part for me. I have the same kind of postura like yours. But my problem is that my upper back gives up after the start. I don`t know what`s going wrong but I`m not giving up. ;-*
@BrendanTietz6 жыл бұрын
hannakurt definitely a weakness! A ton of flared elbow rowing/high rowing, strict RDLs where you pack the lats hard, strict block pulls, and snatch grip deads can help! I show a snatch grip elevated dead in my part two to this video! Also just learning to pack the shoulders down and externally rotate them can help but then take that technique and apply it to those exercises mentioned above to really have carryover

@Hossak6 жыл бұрын
I find to get your glutes more involved in a conventional is to do some sumos in your warm up. Then ensure that in your conventional lift you utilise your butt, you almost push your knees into you arms - ie rotate the thigh slightly. This coupled with a slightly angled foot will push the weight into your glutes more. You should find at the end of a deadlift session that you are feeling it in your legs and glutes, not only the lower back. Good luck!

@GabrielRodriguez-it8jx6 жыл бұрын
You said: to change the fact that your back was taking to much tension during the movement "I worked on my set up and brazing to keep the core rigid and make sure my glutes stay in the movement pattern". My question is; can someone looking to make that change too whether it be because of actual pain or overall better form during the movement, just spend an entire training block growing and strengthening the; glutes, hams, etc...? I ask this because, If you're not a professional coach or don't have access to a professional coach (my case rn) proper brazing technique itself can be hard to learn by yourself.

Wouter de R. I talked about this in another comment more but basically for conventional pulling i prefer a top down set up for the vast majority of people. The trick is getting it right. However sumo is more 50/50. Some need a bottom set up. I’ll do a video on this

Hi Brendan! I have a question, do you think it's always better to use a top-down set up? And if you used a bottom-up set up, which cues would you use?
@BrendanTietz6 жыл бұрын
TheDaydreamingArtist for conventional I’d say like 99% of the time top down is better. It’s such a simplistic movement pattern and position I can’t imagine why someone would need a bottom set up. I’ve never had a conventional puller under me who’s unable to set up top down. Maybe extreme cases like mike t where he pressure breathes and is not built for deadlifting at all but I’d still argue he’d do better top down. However for sumo it’s more 50/50. This is because it’s easier to breathe in a sumo position and the positioning is more difficult to set up in/keep tension. I’d still prefer top down though as the passive stretch in the bottom position kills some power. However if you’re unable to keep consistent with top down and you’re doing it correctly than definitely switch to bottom. As for cues, it depends but in sumo id set up, grip, breathe and brace and then pull the slack and set into position and then go. The actual cues would be the same. I can do a vid on this
@BrendanTietz6 жыл бұрын
TheDaydreamingArtist great question btw !
@SquatsAndPizza6 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! I've responded on Insta as well, but anyway, I've been experimenting with my set up to figure out what works best for me since I've always used bottom-up out of habit. Definitely gonna work more on top-down and see how it goes, whenever I use it I definitely feel like I can breathe in a little more air and keep a little more tension. The only issue I have is that if I go down too slow I start to freak out cause I'm running out of oxygen LOL
@benjaminwetscher96143 жыл бұрын
This is how I brace but I am keeping my glutes flexed really hard the entire time from the moment I grab the bar. Since I flex my glute so hard, I fear that my glutes won’t be able to contribute as much since they are already in a flexed position and not at optimal muscle length. Are you keeping your glutes engaged all the time, Brendan?

Take and hold the breath throughout the entire lift, reset and take a new breath when the bar touches the floor again
@BrendanTietz6 жыл бұрын
How Craig mentioned it is how most do it however I don’t because I’m more fluid and consistent just holding it the whole time. If it’s less than 5 reps I don’t breathe except a small amount of air coming out at the top from me just making my dumb noises lol. If I were to do more than 5 reps I usually catch it at the bottom but that’s why i rarely program more than sets of 5 on conventional because it’s so hard for me to get into a good position that way. I also wouldn’t advise this tactic for most as it feels safe to me but can’t say for everyone it is holding your breath like that
