3 Tips For A BIGGER Deadlift

[@Santi01110]

His deadlift technique is perfectly executed

[@ck-rd2ce]

Look at what happens to his hips, shoulders and the bar before the bar leaves the floor....the body has to autocorrect for heavy weights

[@mihailmilev9909]

​@@ck-rd2ce interesting

[@mihailmilev9909]

​@@ck-rd2ce what does this mean about his technique tho?

[@ck-rd2ce]

@@mihailmilev9909 That since the hips rise, shoulders move back to just in front of the bar and bar moves back over mid foot, it makes sense to set up in the position the bar will leave the floor

[@NTLMBigBench]

@@ck-rd2ce I mean, do you deadlift as much as him or even close? If not, you aint really qualified to correct him

[@busyrand]

Big Russ is an inspiration. His physique has continued to develop through the years. Shout to him for lifting so long, relatively injury free.

[@WolfManJammer]

I never really knew what big weight was until I started down the road at wanting to get better at the deadlift. My friend and former coach happened to be one of the best on the planet and pulled 880 after a double hip replacement. Some people are super human.

[@tamas9402]

Hmm I wonder why he needed two hip replacements...

[@m5902]

[@DD-oy6qd]

After a double hip replacement I cannot see any problems that could occur by deadlifting 880 pounds. But I am a complete moron.

[@rxonmymind8362]

Right?! You mean I can't do this with pencil arms? 😂

[@keithdefreitas3399]

Dude his form is impeccable on top of his body being perfect for deadlift. Could you imagine if he was a 300lb monster what he would be pulling?!

[@CayleLutz]

Wouldn't be much stronger believe it or not. Funny enough powerlifters and strong men have different builds for this reason. Powerlifters are weight classed so he would just lose a ton of relative strength actually. Where as strong men would greatly benefit from having some extra chest fat for a log press for example giving them extra space to rest the log.

[@warlocksunited2e580]

​@@CayleLutz yes he would lose relative strength, he would still lift more weight

[@CayleLutz]

@@warlocksunited2e580 I know what you mean and you're right, I should have articulated better. It would just mean he would preform worse because it's gonna be harder in a higher weight class relative to how much strength he would gain from it,

Best tutorial video for deadlifts I’ve seen for a while

[@SD04-]

Very few people are best off with a perfect form like this tho, his leverages are just perfect lol

[@felixbruno7937]

Right. He has one of the if not thee most sound deadlift right now. He hammers technique hard. Many may have more weight than he does however not so sound of a technique.

[@imperialraiden8259]

That wiggling into position and making your arms long are underrated cues. I also like to think of making myself as tall as I can while I'm wiggling myself and taking the slack out of the bar. Has worked wonders.

[@clipsssviral]

What does pulling the slack out of the bar mean?

[@imperialraiden8259]

@@clipsssviral kzbin.info6CNAI4vSx98?feature=share Theres all sorts of videos that teach different ways. The slack is the space between the bar snd the weights on the bar, and that clinking noise is him pulling out the slack. Pretty much, in a deadlift your body should be as tight as possible BEFORE you even lift. Pulling the slack out of the bar is one of the key steps in getting tight. Theres different ways to learn this, though.

[@Wurse]

The form is beautiful

[@Whatashek]

Very professional tips. Especially engaging lats to pull slack out of the bar, very key.

[@Sharkenite]

Regardless if he didn't win this year, we still love you Russ.

His leverages are flawless. That helps a lot haha

[@mayankmehta183]

Finally someone pulling conventional and the comments now focus on his arm length. What should he do? Should he row the weight to prove himself strong enough lol

[@vernevaan]

Just shows that people will hate no matter what

[@goodgat266]

Truth is long arms and dedication.

[@meerkatmatrix]

Tucking my lats is what stopped me injuring myself as a noob, golden advice right there!

[@codystroys]

What does it mean by tucking the lats? Like squeezing them? Flexing them?

[@meerkatmatrix]

@@codystroys pulling my shoulders down and back

[@codystroys]

@@meerkatmatrix I feel like that contradicts "making your arms longer." I feel like you would need to roll your shoulders forward to make the arms longer. I've heard engage and/or tuck your lats a lot but don't quite get it. I've also heard not to squeeze shoulder blades together, and other people say to do it?? Been working out for a few years and haven't been huge on deadlifts because I suck at them and feel like I'm not doing them right. I just started getting back into them a few weeks ago and really trying to nail down form. Sorry for the long text...

[@meerkatmatrix]

@@codystroys I've never been good at explaining😅 only other way I can think to explain it is to pull your shoulders toward your butt lol

[@muffnxman]

Watching this deadlift, it definitely looks efficient.

[@alfiesingleton2968]

It's quite hard to do the arms long and keep the upper back tight so I'd say it's quite an advanced but great queue to stop people doing SLDL as you often see, at least in commercial gyms

Would love to have this technique! One day

[@franksandbeans82]

Bro very very nice tutorial. Very well done.

Awesome thanks

[@floyd7835]

Hats off man.. Perfect ✌

[@Zapgod]

Its easy with the right leverages. You would have to imitate that stance whether it be putting yourself in a sumo. If you have really short arms it would be hard to follow these tips the way russ does it. Youd be more optimal for bench

[@olivergrljevic2128]

One thing that I don't agree is pulling shoulders back. WSM Mitchell Hooper talks about this in his seminaras and he is known for his strong deadlift too. That is one thing that changed my game. Othervise this tutorial is amazing👋

[@dogboy0912]

I have long arms which has always helped me with deadlift. What doesn't help is my adolescent Osgood Schlatter bump on my knee. Scraping my shins on the bar is one thing but hitting that bump is something else

[@mihailmilev9909]

I have really mobile joints too. Should I not lift heavy then?

[@ascha730]

@@mihailmilev9909 you can lift heavy no problem as long as you're doing with good form. Lifting heavy is great for hypermobility because it strengthens our muscles. I have been told though not use a barebell as there's a chance of the joints getting locked and to use free weights dumbells and kettlebells instead. Do your own research about it. Talk to your physio or doctor of you have access to one

[@rstriker21]

That was so hype at the end I love the culture

[@m5902]

lets be honest he has a nice build for deadlift and there are lots of lifters with great or even better techniek. But the same as Jamal browner the power isnt all broccoli, chicken and rice. I think many other lifters are underrated. And Jamal is also a IPF lifter in the tested federation.

[@KamelinJalka]

It also helps when your arms are so long (or legs are shorter) that when you stand up, the barbell is at mid-thigh and your starting position is more upright. I could never get to that position with my levers, when I stand up with the barbell it's so much higher. And my starting position is more front leaning than upright #jealous 🙄

I don’t know how he keeps from tearing his bicep lifting that much weight with an underhand grip.

[@h2egoalkeeper700]

Listen no matter how far someone makes it when it comes to the gym, a lot of this shit is subjective. The gym has so much to do with your anatomy, genetics and overall leverages. What works for an elite powerlifting will not work for majority of people. When I give people tips I tell them to do what makes them comfortable and where they feel the strongest. Im able to pull 500+ with my technique and I wouldn’t dare tell someone to use my technique.

[@Prsethsun]

I agree, but these particular tips are pretty objective. The only really subjective things with DL is grip style, grip width, feet placement, and hip height

[@DekuStickGamer]

Most people aren’t aware that a good deadlift is 50% leg press, and then you start lifting your back

[@GuitarGuy650]

That's an incorrect way to look at it. Thinking of it as a press makes people either drop their hips too low or push exclusively with their legs, causing their hips to shoot up

[@Barbellaeditz]

I have really long femurs and I've been trying to perfect my form for a whileeeeee now, and I thought I got the hang of it, but after ever deadlift session the next day my shins turn blue from the bruises that the bar left. Ik the bar should touch the shins but should it make large bruises?

[@TheBoBabsin]

Am I the only one who finds it difficult/impossible to get an even set-up on DL when I use switch grip? It just feels so wrong

[@ProtectFreedomOfSpeech]

Yeah switch grip is also a decent way to get unevenly trained muscles and risk injury iirc

[@Zed-not-Zee]

My lift is already 8 inches off the floor before I can even get to the angle of his starting position. My long arms are cancelled out by my ridiculously long legs!
