Pete Rubish ULTIMATE Deadlift TUTORIAL!!👍

[@PeteRubish]

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

[@johnyashes]

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.

[@LiftingVault]

Really enjoying the new content Pete, keep at it!

[@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!

[@mikeutube7888]

I will never forget seeing Pete’s deadlifting videos many years ago for the first time. They shocked me. How could a guy lift that much weight that fast! Bravo!.

[@3Runner95]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 💪

[@patriziobruni]

1 years later still loving this video

[@wikithatshizy]

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

[@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.

[@ama9385-w2g]

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!

[@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

[@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.

[@mdrgn79]

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

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you my friend!

[@ChadCilli]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@mcbride997032]

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

[@DNO_Fitness]

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

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you for supporting the channel!

[@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 🤙🙏💪

[@tiagobaptista5706]

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

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

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

[@dea7hFromAbove]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@odn7769]

This helped me a lot. Thank you so much!

[@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

[@jamwithtupac]

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

[@alexmc7798]

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

[@PerformanceEnhancingPancakes]

great video! love you Pete!

[@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

[@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 💪🏻💪🏻🇮🇪

[@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!

This is gold thanks brother 💪🏽

Heaven yeah time to pull 800!

Love the OG washer and dryer

[@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

[@jakeschoen7525]

I have deadlifts today too! Awesome timing!

[@honorletalis]

Will remember these next deadlift day

[@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!

[@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!

[@jonahdsouza6221]

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

[@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

[@johnjay6370]

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

[@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.

[@hoangphuoc3223]

premium content. gonna save this for later review

[@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!

[@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.

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?

[@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.

[@mellpear4773]

This is quality - thank you

[@resurrectiontraining]

Pete breaking out the captains of crush! 💪

[@Bavarian_Lifting]

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

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

[@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 !

[@brentcecchini5843]

Great work on that Pete, very helpful.

[@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.

[@ambidexmed]

Anyone got a link for the extra wide straps he is mentioning here?

[@timtrainage]

Thanks Pete!

[@keithbobrosky6334]

Great content!

[@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.

[@Martgician]

Great explanation, quick and easy to understand!

[@danielpletikosic9021]

Og back in game yeah I remember those underground basement deadlifts good times !

[@friendo1357]

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

[@drvenhrd46]

The kneeling to put straps on blew my mind… I spend too much bent over losing tension on a compromised position

[@brute633]

This tip is crucial for more fast twitch/explosive deadlifters too, not only can it be fatiguing on the lower back but it'll really dampen that stretch reflex in your hamstrings!

[@ReDeV7]

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

[@StraitjacketFitness]

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

[@stoempert]

Great stuff Pete 👍🏻

[@rolandjones784]

Good tutorial. Do you know that's how Strongman Nick Best deadlifts? I do it also, deadlifts have come way up just switching stance

[@fastedwarrior7353]

I tried doing deadlifts the starting strength way and my pulls always turn into stiff-legged deadlifts even doing one top set takes a fair bit out of me since I am using a lot of lower back and my upper back is very weak. I was thinking about trying the tip mentioned in this video on Monday when I go back to the gym and see if I can get leg drive in my deadlift. Even with my current lousy deadlift setup I can pull 345lbs for 5 reps for multiple sets which isn't bad but it could be better.

[@OpenBarGarage]

Brilliant!

[@streetpulls780]

Great video Pete

[@sdfsdfsfsf5484]

what about looking at the floor? For me it puts the load more on the upper back.

[@walsh9354]

Thank you for this.

[@martinbradley1062]

Great to see the washer and dryer its not a proper deadlift tutorial without them

Awesome stuff

[@jimworton1245]

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

[@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!

[@rayhoward4410]

Cool. Good stuff!

[@lmaolol9357]

Great tutorial

[@Strongman_Sutton]

*coach Pete has entered the chat*

[@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.

[@Eee00123]

Nice video 🔥

[@hairyape_8103]

Interesting, most ive heard say COC's dont translate to support grip. But i guess holds can be effective. I will try it

[@tallLifts]

05:22 Glad to see that even the Pete Rubish said that he is slightly away from the bar because he is taller. "The bar is actually a bit more forward than the middle of the foot because I'm a bit taller." Something I've been telling all tall lifters for years. I have a video that's probably from 2016 or 2015 explaining the same thing.

[@Glutespecialist]

Yeah i saw ur video on that its really the way to go for taller lifters coz u can actually get leg drive.

[@BambinoFilipino1]

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