I think a good tip for foot placement to tell people is that mid foot means middle from heel to toe instead og the front of shin to toe. I know a lot of people struggle with that which means their deadlift is way out in front of them

[@hairyape_8103]

Technique Nicely explained and smart to mention his leverages for people to be aware of the differences. Good man

[@AaronOptimal]

Didn’t know how much I needed this video. I’ve basically been squatting my deadlift; did this setup without a bar infront of me just to see, and my hamstrings immediately felt fired up.

[@RusselOrhii]

Glad it helped man!!

[@julioviloria3289]

Do you brace standing up or at the bottom right before pulling? @@RusselOrhii

[@brandone.5106]

Thanks for the vid. Great advice on removing the slack. I just started deadlifting (at age 38) about 3 months ago. The most I’ve lifted is 385… anything over 315 I need a mixed grip. My goal is 495 for now. I’m looking to hit 405 in the next two weeks. One thing I learned for my build is that it’s all quad push until the bar reaches my knee then hip hinge from there. I had the right starting position, but I was tearing up my shins when I first started until I realized that it’s push through the floor, then push hips through.

[@brianorimba2362]

So I came across this video yesterday just before going to the gym. I implemented Russel's positioning and lifting techniques alongside a breathing technique Larry Wheels talked about in one of his videos. Normally I'd get stuck at 200 kilos in my deadlifts, but I ended up hitting 255 kgs with just these small changes. I'm 5'7, weigh 79 kgs, from Kenya.

[@gabiro8212]

Insane

[@cinamike]

how were you deadlifting 200kg without these

[@decembergrown]

​@@cinamikewasn't (unless his lower back is on Ronnie status). nor did he add 55kgs after a YT video. maybe 15-20kgs due to technique/positioning but not 55 😑

[@StephColbertsonStrength]

I love the analogy Jesus used the other day for bench and I think it applies perfectly to the slack pull. It’s like a jump shot in 2k, gotta time it just right. Pull the slack quick enough to not waste energy but slow enough to not lose position.

[@dhvanitnegi7025]

What exactly was it?

[@StephColbertsonStrength]

@@dhvanitnegi7025 it’s about the timing on how fast you let the bar come down on bench. Can’t be too fast or too slow when trying to hit that perfect groove on bench.

[@bigal8974]

Good job dude. That was a very good tutorial. I like the fact you repeated everyone is different, and went over the basics. 👍

[@midavgjo]

495# for 3 is usually RPE 8-9 for me but no bullshit after fixing my bar placement at the beginning of my setup it genuinely felt & moved like RPE 6. Predicate you for taking the time to break this down.

[@lilmanq7746]

I tried this method and I actually broke my PR 3 times in a row, it’s crazy how good technique can make such difference

[@Sam-sv1lw]

Yo asking some tips here, I actually start with the bar right above my fingertips and like the vids it resemble more of a squat, what extra tips u have man

@ Nothing you just have to master the perfect technique and you will see how quickly your lifts will blow

I had watched couple video of: Halfthor, Eddie, Jammal, etc. on "how to deadlift, squat, etc. The tip of bending your hip is something that they dont do, or probably forgot to mention! So I am going to try it out next deadlift section! See if it improves my some more.... Thanks

Not gonna lie, haven’t watched one of your videos since you were starting this gym. Love the content big dog lets keep it up!😤💪🏽👊🏽

[@donaldkasper8346]

For me, over-under gripping is unstable in the few times I tried it. I can straight overhand hold the bar for my lift max of 275 with zero problems, no slipping of the grip.

[@jeanilee]

[@Solowalkerrr]

Might be a weird question, but a struggle with bringing the bar back down and actually bending my knees. Any tips for that?

[@jaydenong8908]

Focus on bending at the hips first before your knees. Bending at the knees before hips makes the bar path collide with your knees making it awkward when lowering (if thats the problem). 3:45 shows a general idea of the lowering section, allowing hips to hinge first before lowering past your knees. Hope this helps.

[@Adrien_broner]

@@jaydenong8908 should you be leaning forward as you go down? I’ve been getting neck pain. But I think that’s because I’ve been trying to sit down like a squat and I can’t seem to get low enough to get the plates to touch the floor, then I have to lean. But I’m maybe coming down too slowly? Can you please give advice.

[@paulk2085]

Assume, Thank You!! going to go do my dead lifts in an hour. Perfect timinig

[@douglasschmidt6873]

[@evvnjiang]

[@NasonVSRG]

Biggest tip I know, is if you are experiencing some sort of pain or it it doesn't feel right. Go lighter and feel out form. I'm talking throw 10 or 25 lb rogue plates on and be discipline.

[@PatrickKuerzi]

can you do the same for Squat and Bench ?

[@leelunk8235]

MASSIVE GAINS FROM DEADLIFTING, LMAO, NO GAINS..YOU AINT STIMULATING MUSCLES , TELL ME WHAT CONTRACTS BESIDES YOUR LOWER BACK MUSCLES?

[@micahrodriguez4462]

@lee lunk Well you definitely get muscle contractions in your quads, hamstrings and glutes As well. Also he didn’t fully specify or indicate the type of gains he’s talking about he could possibly be talking about strength gains and with improved deadlifting technique you will definitely get massive strength gains as he stated…

[@leelunk8235]

@@micahrodriguez4462 DEADLIFTING DOES NOTHING FOR STRENGTH GAINS, THE ONLY THING CONTRACTED IS YOUR LOWER BACK AND EVEN THOUGH YOU GET MINIMUM ACTIVATION IN THE QUADS FROM THAT LIFT, IT'S NOT SIGNIFICANT..THAT'S WHY CBUM STOPPED DEADLIFTING, CBUM EVEN SAID IN ONE OF HIS VIDEOS, DEADLIFTING IS FOR EGO NOT FOR BUILDING MUSCLE BUT HE LOVES DOING IT, THOSE WERE HIS WORDS, TOO DANGEROUS AND NOT WORTH IT, LIFTING A BOX FROM THE GROUND, EMPLOYEES ARE TAUGHT TO SQUAT WITH BACK STRAIGHT, THIS AINT LIFTING CORRECTLY FROM THE GROUND

is slack wedge pulling a sumo thing or can it be applied to conventional too?

Does doing mixed grip create muscle imbalances in your back?

imo no not really if you still do accessory lifts. i lift 623 for deadlift and don’t have any issues
