I think it more so is a good supplemental movement to help build a base of strength that can transfer later on and to other movements

[@ThrowsUniversity]

Fair point

[@MrMilliron]

loved maxing out deads 2-3 times a year. clean panda pulls and medium snatch grip pulls always helped my narrow grip, narrow stance, high hipped, hooked grip deads

[@daleftuprightatsoldierfield]

I used to deadlift a lot in high school. It definitely helped build my leg and back strength, but it became less useful and more risky as I got stronger. By the time I got to college, I pretty much replaced all my deadlifts with Olympic lifts because they translated more directly to the throws

[@KevinHash]

this was helpful! My son is just getting into the lifting side of this and we are trying figure out the must have and what not. Sounds like we don't need to sweat the dead lifts.

Happy to help!

@@ThrowsUniversity would you say if he focused on bench, cleans, and squats, thats a good start? (among other general conditioning)

I never did any dead lift, but clean and snatch. 69 feet 7 with 230 lb body weight In 1986.

[@ThrowsUniversity]

That's awesome. Great mark!

[@matsinilsson9578]

All this 21 m power Lars Arvid got from wanting to be Swedish and a member of UTEP instead of SMU (much anger). His prowess was only partly from staying away from the deadlifts (lazy, static and risky exercise) and not at all from doing the cleans (less dynamic than the snatch).

What do you think of hex bar deadlifting?

[@phosphate66]

great video

[@ThrowsUniversity]

Thank you

[@jordifalco5609]

Thanks you. And military press, is good for throw?

[@ThrowsUniversity]

Our throwers will use it as a supplemental movement. Definitely useful

[@matsinilsson9578]

Incline bench is obviously good for shot, but military press...not really as a major exercise...

[@grimbojimbo]

My kid is a freshman thrower at the U of South Dakota. He said they have dead lifted. But not too often.

Shoulder strength movements for throwers.

As a Highland Games thrower, do you think that the deadlift has better transfer in our weight over bar and caber throws?

[@porker9821]

any dumbbell workouts? i don’t live by any gyms and am not to rich so i can’t afford a lot of equipment:(((

[@ThrowsUniversity]

We can make a video!

[@porker9821]

@@ThrowsUniversity thanks!!!

[@et5222]

strength? necessary? transfer? Blueprint? A 5th to consider is risk of injury? For many throwers who fight injuries, deadlift can be a bit "deadly".....

[@phosphate66]

[@ThrowsUniversity]

very good point

[@matsinilsson9578]

The whole risk vs. benefit thing = deadlifts are way slow and you can literally fuck up your back. It is also a lazy man's exercise compared to explosive squats. Though I am Swedish, I think Stahl's deadlifting is irrelevant and should not be copied. In regards to Olympic lifting: I found that the snatch requires way more athleticism (dynamic and explosive) than the cleans (feels static). It is like comparing a squat with a deadlift.

[@TheGudeGym]

4:15 No, that's technique for competitive elite powerlifters to intentional shorten the moment arm created by your back and shorten pulling distance, its a trade off of mechanical efficiency for your upper back health. Conventional deadlift technique is never taught that way to anyone else especially athletes and beginners. Fine other points all round though.
