WOW!! You guys are the best!! Seriously, I am overwhelmed with the love shown over the course of the past two weeks. This channel was sitting dead for three years and now it's just exploded in the past 2.5 weeks once I decided to get it going again. I couldn't do it without you. I try to respond to comments in every video, but I can't get to them all. And for that, I apologize. I will try to do weekly live Q&As to give you guys some time to aske me further questions. I appreciate you all!

[@yaslerfuj]

just re-discovered your channel pete, i used to love your videos but i think you slowed down or stopped posting much lifting stuff at a certain point so i forgot about you, but im SO glad you are back and making some AMAZING quality content again, keep it coming brother, i can't wait to watch some of your pod casts soon.

[@DirtyRidin661]

Wow, time flies. I just reopened your videos… the classic “rice aroni and ground beef” video years ago. Still eating it to this day 🤣

[@jok2177]

Yes make q and a plz

[@finestjellybeansrawlol9486]

Always appreciate people who've actually accomplished stuff in strength sharing helpful advice in a straightforward way! Thanks for the vid

[@brandonsaunders6580]

We love you pete. No homo.

[@strengthadventure2694]

Many people says that YT fitness is dying because everything was said hundred times. But then Pete comes with his amazing knowledge plus you are so honest that it is refreshing. Keep it going man.

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you brother! I definitely will! It means the world having loyal subscribers like yourself!

[@yoeyyoey8937]

It’s cause people just won’t listen.

[@lefonwastaken3393]

Would love to see more tutorials, not only just for lifts, but even programming tips would be very useful!

[@LeeH3nson]

Yeah, ways to do accessories etc

[@houstin7866]

Agreed! Would love to learn more about programming

[@LeeH3nson]

@@houstin7866 me too, I didn't mean to sidetrack lefon's programming, I'd love to hear how Pete approaches programming ie variations of the lifts across say 3 bench sessions a week like i think haack does or same form etc, alongside how he programmes accessories Shit like that

[@PeteRubish]

I can definitely make that happen!

[@LiftingVault]

Really enjoying the new content Pete, keep at it!

[@xRhev]

Watched this yesterday and tried out the stance today. Felt WAY better and stronger, incredible tutorial!

[@DoggMannTru]

Learned more in the first two minutes of this video on deadlifts than i have in years watching other videos. Thanks again for the info. I am the worlds worst deadlifter and working on them again. Thanks for the tips and great info. Keep it up Pete.

[@johndaley964]

Great tutorial…can’t wait for deadlifts this week, stance looks crazy narrow but results speak for themselves so looking forward to trying stance change and grip width. Keep ‘em coming sir.

[@KeeronMac]

Man I'm glad you are back, I remember seeing you on misc, jeez it seems like a lifetime ago, anyway, you always got me hyped for the gym. Loving the content and the honesty and the info, you're like a breath of fresh air. Health and happiness to you and yours from the Emerald Isle 💪🏻💪🏻🇮🇪

[@alexgruber3527]

I knew this will blow up!! Great work, I love your content. I will miss the old school times. I'm honored that I was alive as you were PRing.

[@jjanevski]

Been watching you since you were 17-18 DLing in your basement. Always an inspiration man. Would always watch your massive pulls as pre-deadlift hype. Great to see you putting out informative and helpful content to the community that’s not loaded with fluff and BS. 💪

[@ChadCilli]

I hope you do more videos like this. This is far more useful than analyzing other lifters.

[@Sammyboy5o]

This might be the most dialed in tutorial for a lift I've seen. You replicated it perfectly on every lift at the end.

[@wikithatshizy]

Pete the starting with the elbows out thing and bringing my stance in is insane. You are the mvp.

[@thomaswilson2378]

Saying the same things to us as you did to Nick all those years ago, consistency is king and you are the king of consistency

[@alexmc7798]

Thanks Pete for doing it with all the plates, that was me, awesome that you’re so engaged with the community!

[@northbuster290]

It's good to see more content from Pete!!!

[@Platez]

Great video Pete, you've always been a deadlift king so who else better for advice on pulling. I'm subscribed now 🤘🏻

[@mdrgn79]

You've been producing great content recently, thank you.

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you my friend!

[@meatsweatmundungus6415]

Idk if you'll see this but I want you to know I'm really glad this showed up on my feed today. No Bullshit and great quality, non judgemental advice. I've just had one of my best deadlifting sessions ever whilst following your advice. Cheers man

[@dafyddrogers9385]

I really like this as someone who struggles with the deadlift position but doesn't necessarily lack back or leg strength I'm hoping this can help me improve my deadlift numbers!

[@DNO_Fitness]

My man comming through with the high quality frequent uploads. Thanks brother 🍻

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you for supporting the channel!

[@TheMixtape123]

Great video, working on my DL now and looking to implement this stance. Will be about an inch closer than my norm so I'm looking forward to it. Thank you Pete !

[@AscendHumanity]

You are one of the true honest and real people within the fitness industry. Great work and hope you have a speedy recovery.

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you buddy! Means a lot!

[@jamwithtupac]

You are a legendary lifter man, keep making the videos..

[@3Runner95]

this should be the go to industry standard video for teaching the deadlift from now on

[@pupper5580]

This is so advanced! I'm 6.5 minutes in and I'm already overloaded with information. Superb tutorial!

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you so much brother!

[@Stallion5169]

Love all the new content!

[@jamesclark8830]

Man Pete I wish I would of found your channel sooner I have recommended it to a couple of my friends their not into power lifting but for form Weis this shit is so on point

[@PeteRubish]

I appreciate the continued support James! Means a lot!

[@odn7769]

This helped me a lot. Thank you so much!

Thanks Pete!!! Learned some pointers for sure!!!

Great explanation, quick and easy to understand!

[@brentcecchini5843]

Great work on that Pete, very helpful.

[@PerformanceEnhancingPancakes]

great video! love you Pete!

[@prostrongmanzack]

I dig it Pete! Love that you are making a push on YT, you got this!

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you brother! You've been supporting the channel for ages! I appreciate it!

[@prostrongmanzack]

@@PeteRubish haha I recall early KZbin and trying to hang with Chris (Hickson) on the DL, he blew past me, Ben Rice and I had our eyes on you and that whole crew. I was greatly saddened to hear of Chris' passing, my condolences. I'm happy to see you back and sharing your knowledge. You deserve to have a huge audience and I'm glad it is coming around! Best wishes from Washington State 🤙🙏💪

[@jolekreic]

Yeah! This is what we need, thanks man!

[@CP-lv1jm]

Great video Pete! Like the tutorial videos for sure!

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you my friend!

[@friendo1357]

Not everyday you get a legend to teach you a lesson, great job man!

[@ReonKad3]

This is the first video I watch of you in 2 years or so and I was shocked man. You literally look 10 years younger. I thought I was looking at a different person lol. You look great and healthy.

[@ReDeV7]

Loved your back extension accessory for the Deadlift, great ham, glute and lower back strengthener especially done with a barbell and heavy weight 👍🏻

[@BigFootRunner]

Great tutorial, Pete! Drop a link to equipment that you recommend during videos (like the pioneer straps) and tell people "link is in the descriptions below." Might get you more engagement on your videos!

[@A19csd]

Solid video. I hit deads and captains of crush today. I have the 1, 1.5 and 2. Highly recommend to anyone who has grip or tendinitis issues. Working the grip on the side is a huge help.

[@roadto200kgdeadlift]

This is gold thanks brother 💪🏽

[@Nachtgeist.]

I think there's a big difference between people trying to teach the deadlift to the general public as an exercise and a PL explaining it in a way that will allow for the best force transfer and most weight lifted. Great video.

[@tiagobaptista5706]

This is inovative, nobody is talking about this, congratz buddy

[@mellpear4773]

This is quality - thank you

[@samuelvicinanza604]

priceless advice from og legend. I remember way back when you were doing food review vids and you replied to a comment I made about orange juice and I think that was the first time I got a reply from a youtuber

[@keithbobrosky6334]

Great content!

[@Bigramt]

I have done holds,negatives etc with coc crushers. I just can't seem to close the 2.5 yet. I also hook grip and have been for the past 5 or 6 years Great tutorial Pete. You have longer arms than myself, but we are similar height, width etc, so it's good to see this. I always deadlifted well narrow stance, buy for a weird reason I got it into my head that wider was better. I might try bringing them in another inch or 2 Thanks for the tutorial!

[@Epe-y2j]

Lookng stout big man. Thanks for the advice!

[@StraitjacketFitness]

Just a comment and a like for the algo. Keep up the great content Mr. Rubish.

[@dea7hFromAbove]

i almost forgot about this dude, I remember watching your triple deadlift videos in the basement, good old stuff :)

[@maintenanceman2475]

Great tutorial man..simple and effective..your deadlift set up looks very efficient!

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you!

[@maintenanceman2475]

@@PeteRubish I'd love to get some advice from you on squats..my adductors have bothered me tremendously since I started lifting..I have tried high bar,low bar,box squats just anything I can think of to keep squatting..They don't get sore they get aggravated to the point it interferes with work and my other training session..I've even tried to strengthen them with isolation work like the Copenhagen plank and isometric exercises..do you have any suggestions?

[@mute5634]

sick, learnt a couple new cues imma try, thanks Pete!

[@stoempert]

Great stuff Pete 👍🏻

[@jonathankaczmarczyk658]

Thanks Pete 💪🏻

[@alexgruber3527]

It crazy the kind of physique you unlocked with your DL career. You are literally a digital monument 🤷‍♂️😂👍🏼

[@Bavarian_Lifting]

my squat is way better than my pull, been looking for quality info for long, thanks pete

[@erikkillmonger2778]

I can say with absolute confidence that this guy is legit. Cus I did all the mistakes that he talked about in this video

[@mcbride997032]

Setup is always going to be individualized because everyone’s leverages are different. But you made some good points.

[@fishywtf]

When you're shoulder is directly over/infront of the bar with locked elbows, it dictates where your hips should be. As long as you remember that, you have 1 less step to worry about.

[@PeteRubish]

100% correct, couldn't have said it better myself!

[@6pac.]

thanks

[@Kickboxer7267]

But why do powerlifters say to bring the hips closer to the bar which puts their shoulders directly above the bar? I did it exactly like you described all the months before which worked fine. Then I listened to the youtubers, brought my hips closer to the bar which put my shoulders above the bar and my torso more upright = sharp tweak in my lower back and immediately dropped on my knees. I don’t know anymore either I am doing it wrong or their advice is not good

[@xHumanFacex]

@@Kickboxer7267 it seems more like a sumo advice as you described it.

[@akay5036]

Andy bolton teaches to have your shins touch the bar when starting so I think it just depends on your style. You have forward knee bend over the toe, depending on some peoples biomechanics, they may benefit from keeping the hips further back and doing more hip hinge than squatting at the bottom

[@dmccloskey3510]

theres one thing in perticular that ive NEVER heard in a dead tutorial before, 6:15 push the bar away from you, ive never thought about this but this insures your elbows are locked but MORE IMPORTANTLY that your chest is starting as high up as possible, simulating a block pull even when youre pulling from the floor.

[@patriziobruni]

1 years later still loving this video

[@jakeschoen7525]

I have deadlifts today too! Awesome timing!

[@hexorXO]

Impeccable form and awesome tutorial. Your length limb leverages are on point... I saw your other videos and was dumbstruck. I thought only 315+ pound bloatlords could handle your 1RM. Physique is most impressive part of your pulls. Would love to know what you eat in a day.

[@chadh1721]

Yes, perfect. It is that simple. Chris Duffin makes sense of it really well too describing it as wedging yourself between the bar creating that tension.

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you! Chris is a very smart guy!

[@chazzthaspazz4475]

frig yeah pete i been usin coc grippers for 5 years now never thought you’d ever bring em up in ur vids lol

[@timtrainage]

Thanks Pete!

[@yoeyyoey8937]

Can’t wait to see a hook grip tutorial, I have a feeling I’m doing something wrong but I think it might have to do with my right arm being slightly shorter than my left idk if you have any advice for asymmetries

[@mrtoughpants]

Love the washer and dryer posters +10% strength carry over 😂

[@braddixon3338]

I discovered the narrow stance dead lift a little while ago, and once I did, my weights just started going up, it seems I'm stronger and can get a better leg drive with the narrow stance and helps with the hip thrust at lock out. I do need to work on the arm positioning you're talking about as when I get heavier on my weights, I tend to not let my arms work as cables like they are supposed to, but end up flexing them quite a bit.

[@hoangphuoc3223]

premium content. gonna save this for later review

[@walsh9354]

Thank you for this.

[@streetpulls780]

Great video Pete

[@T1Slam]

BRO! I used this today - deadlifted at the end of fullbody heavy workout - and my maximum FLEW UP like i had no problems lifting that weight! Turns out before i exhausted my legs with long setup, which made liftoff the most problematic part, and put arms too close, and now i like freed myself to grow and explore my potential to the fullest!

[@bigdripbiglifts3546]

Nice bro ima try it

[@jamesc4378]

Going to try this set up next deadlift day. Seems legit and feels good just vs air.

[@houstin7866]

This is definitely one of the best conventional deadlift form videos on KZbin! Keep it up you are killing it!

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you sir!

[@tygrant835]

Will remember these next deadlift day

[@rayhoward4410]

Cool. Good stuff!

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

Assistance and accessory tutorials would be awesome, you don't see much of them on YT

[@alexescobar8633]

Great 👍 tutorial Pete let’s go 💪💪💪

[@lmaolol9357]

Great tutorial

[@luluvibritania]

Would like to see your opinion on Eddie Hall’s deadlift tutorial video. As a long legged lifter, I always tried a narrower stance but felt it hard to get my hips through at lockout and put too much pressure on my hamstrings and low back. Some of his advice honestly helped me out with a slightly wider stance, chin against the chest and treating it like a leg press were clutch. Regardless of his status on the lift, would actually like to see another high caliber specialist break his tutorial down.

[@stevend481]

Yeah seems theres many different opinions

[@brute633]

In my opinion there is no one size fits all deadlift form. Hip, back, and shoulder width can vary immensely, as well as limb lengths. I think it's all about finding a starting position that allows you to get as freakishly tight and compact as possible. Just like everyone can and should be able to perform a squat, not everybody is going to look the same whjle doing it. I've also bulked to 298lbs, one thing I've noticed is the heavier I get, my stance gets wider and I point my toes out a bit more. Go check out my deadlift progression video and then watch one of my more recent heavy pulls, my technique has changed and improved a lot over the years.

[@PeteRubish]

I could definitely critique his video or Brian Shaws! I've had requests for both!

[@hairyape_8103]

@@PeteRubish commentary on Eddies advice would be cool. Just to see the differences in ideas

[@alugificator]

@@brute633 I've never seen a heavyweight lifter deadlift with the stance Pete uses here. Much like how Pete speaks on narrow grip width impeding the knees, narrow stance width could impede the hips and trunk, especially on thick guys.

[@griffinstewart9327]

Awesome stuff

[@jonahdsouza6221]

good video but i wished you spoke about bracing and how to complete the lift and set the bar down as well.

Been watching Pete since he was DLing in the basement Absolutely obscene numbers A mythical creature And to hear Pete himself spit some knowledge about DLs is pretty fuckin cool With that said, how do you feel about the figure 8 straps?

[@OpenBarGarage]

Brilliant!

[@berternieartist]

Your a funny man Pete. Those framed photos of the washing machines.

[@estebantobes1158]

Interesting video. Can you film your bar path directly from the side when deadlifting?

[@Strongman_Sutton]

*coach Pete has entered the chat*

[@fuckmyego]

thanks pete, gonna go get some good straps and slightly raise my DL volume. Also going to try the trick with setting my elbows first to create tension in my arm being straight (like at 5:40) .

[@PeteRubish]

Thanks buddy! Best of luck with the setup!

[@muemaccash]

Looking healthy🙌

[@jimworton1245]

Thanks for this bro my deadlift is in the toilet and the lift just feels awkward these days

[@chattingwithshap8010]

Foot position is body dependent. Also, how the bar travels is key. It can go up the shins. Sometimes having it off the leg can cause the bar to travel forward. Otherwise nice job.
