SON OF A DEADLIFT!! (For Growth)

Ready to get growing with deadlifts?
I wanted to make this video to point out a couple of things, the biggest of which is how you pull through the movement. A lot of times I see people perform these and focus on driving with their legs to get it started off the ground. For me it’s a missed opportunity to really put GOOD stress on your entire back so shift that weight into your heels, keep your knees behind the bar and pull from your hips with a flat back!
Let me know what you think in the comments below and what video you want me to do next!

[@Singletracklover]

Hey Ryan do you have any fucking clue how hard it is to get a message to you on KZbin? If I use Firefox to watch your videos it blocks all the stupid ads I have no interest in. But I am not allowed to comment on your videos. I have no clue if you will see this. You are still in your prime. Please break your advice down to guys in your age group and people like me 20+ years older than you. YES 60+ years old really look forward to your advice. Please help us. And no we don't need financial advice when we are looking to find a way to get a pump at the gym.

great channel for anyone, especially the beginner. i love the NO BS approach & instruction. keep pushing the awesome content

[@armedmariner]

What I like about you Ryan - and what I’ve done most of my life - and what you emphasize and motivate me to continue - is BURN OUT sets. Just go to complete exhaustion. I sometimes do legs and after a burnout set I literally feel like I’m gonna black out (not quite) and I need to / want to hold onto something and BREATHE deep - 4 seconds in, 2 second hold, 3-4 seconds out. I sometimes need 90 seconds of just breathing before I can move on in my workout. In this video after your burnout you had a bit of a hard time talking. I KNOW you did the burnout! I don’t know how long you went after that set before you hit Record on the camera but it was evident you still were gettin after it. I see so many guys in the gym who probably are in the gym for an hour but their actual time under tension is minimal. They do quick and fast reps and just 3 sets and move on. Better than nothing. But not for growth. I like walking out of the gym maybe 40 min later and am completely DONE stick a fork in me. Thanks Ryan. You do help me to get after it.

Lmao at the way he walks away from that long set. I know the feeling.

Just finished the vid Ryan and you know what, I forgot how much I love the deadlift and I miss executing it for that overall huge feel. The issue has been the small of my back. I’ve watched Rippitoe (spell?), and some other dudes I respect. But you know what man, every time I follow those “correct” instructions, I tend to feel vulnerable in the pull - the start. The whole thing just freaks me out and it’s infuriating. I’m going analyze this vid and get after it. Thanks again 🙏

Started deadlifting right when I started lifting (last December). Started at a 135lb DL at 149lbs body weight (6ft tall). This September I hit 405lbs for 2. I am preparing for a fitness test in a few months and have stopped deadlifting due to small back strains occasionally. I weigh 182lbs at 6ft and 13-14% body fat and I attribute this weight gain to mainly the deadlift. An excellent exercise that I am now leaving in the past. Thanks for the video.

Congrats on your accomplishments man, never quit! Speaking of that, i hope you never quit deadlifts either and eventually come back to them!

[@GamingCentralTV1]

@@EvsPersonal Isn't it too taxing on the CNS and dangerous overall?

[@EvsPersonal]

@@GamingCentralTV1 its taxing to the cns yes, but you have to make sure you recover well and sufficiently after doing them. And no, they are not dangerous when done correctly. Arguably the best exercise out there as well

[@johnfurr5698]

@@EvsPersonal The devil is in the details.. "When don correctly..." And it turns out it's hard for many to do them correctly. I injured my back and it took about 6 months before I was back 100%. These day's I focus on RDL's and rack pulls. I'm actually probably fit enough to return to the deadlift now, but I'm not really a powerlifter planning to compete so I can hit those muscles with safer alternatives.

@@EvsPersonal i would imagine its dangerous once you're repping 405+ but then again with that logic any lift is dangerous once you start putting up some decent weight. I have no real argument for this I prefer rack lifts personally.

I would really like to know about breathing patterns for the different exercises that you demonstrate. Most especially for the heavy lifts.. Dead lifts, RDLs, etc. Really enjoying your very informative vids. I use resistance bands as I workout at home and don't have room for a weight set\bench etc. But I find I'm able to adapt much of what you've shown. Thank you for the vids.

[@5446moto]

lunaticprophet My understanding is such that ideally you exhale after each rep is completed and then take another breath to build pressure in core. The point is to maintain positive pressure while loaded. If you must exhale at the top (which is what it sounds like is being done here) it is acceptable provided you take another breath and pressurize prior to controlled decent.

I’ve been training for a number of years and D/L has been a lift I’ve really enjoyed. But even though I’ve competed in powerlifting (light weight master 1 lifter) bad habits are ever present and my nemesis in D/Ls is incorrect knee movement. They travel inward ever so slightly. Something one of the guys noticed just last night which got me working on driving my knees out when setting up and loading the bar. The exact same advice you’ve offered. One of your vids was in my feed and I’m glad it was...you’re coaching and tips are on point and I like your matter of fact / humble style. Im now a subscriber.!! Cheers fella :-)

Kind of dangerous advice. Deadlift is not to be messed with. It's a compound movement. Legs should be used with the back to lift safely

Moss Phelan I agree. Maybe if he was making a vid on the stiff leg version I would agree with him. But if we’re looking at a perfect deadlift for strength, there should be leg drive.

In any case, isn't the deadlift mostly for the hamstrings anyway? Surely there are better exercises out there if back is your focus.
