I can’t say I agree with this regardless of his credentials. Sinking the hips lower and bringing his shoulder blades behind the bar will only cause the hips to shoot up at higher weights . This kind of advice only works if your anatomy can shorten the moment arm and bring the hips closer to the bar in the conventional stance .

Ah yes the nocebo of "back strain" from a higher hip start position. Just so everyone is aware, low back stress is not inherently a bad thing, it's thinking low back strain/stress is damaging your spine that's a bad thing. The spine will adapt over time to the stresses placed upon it like any other tissue or region of the body, and by "protecting" it from positions that place tension and stress on it the more we are likely to experience pain when we need to require its involvement during a heavy set(s) or in real life. There's a great paper published this past year by Howe and Lehman that discusses "getting out of a neutral" spine position and presents research that a slightly flexed spine, when adapted to over time with progressive loading, may be superior to the neutral spine position we're often told to achieve. Good read definitely recommend

@mdwv872 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve always had so many questions and doubts about the philosophy of “no exercise is inherently bad/every position should be trained.” In regards to deadlifting: during flexion (or rounding) the back is essentially relaxed, meaning that the muscles aren’t being used; whereas with a neutral spine, the muscles of the low back are engaged and the back is flattened and obviously engaging a muscle ensures that it can gain strength. In other words, how can the lower back gain strength when it’s rounded and therefore not engaged?

@Parker_Miller_M.S. 2 жыл бұрын

@@mdwv872 so it's not necessarily about leaving the low back relaxed fully, I'll explain. So the article I mentioned mostly talks about mid and upper back flexion but there have been other studies that look at low back rounding even with modest loads of 70% of 1rm for low rep sets and found in advanced lifters that low back rounding was inevitable. The article by Howe and Lehman does mention dorsal lumbar fascia being an incredibly strong passive tissue that can assist with the active shortening of the spinal erectors which is more powerful in the flexed position compared to an isometric contraction. To answer your question, the back is still engaged when in flexion via tension and the passive tissues like ligaments, fascia, and discs can adapt to the stresses and become more resilient to the flexed position.

I always take my time with deadlifts and walk myself through the steps. First, keep the butt low with shins against the bar. Second, tighten the upper back, as if trying to bend the bar in half. Third, push down into the floor and push the hips in as the bar passes the knees, keeping the back straight.

Doing deadlifts with a hex bar that has a hook grip is better (edit: for some), safer, more comfortable, and achieves the same results (edit: *closely similar* results). It's much easier to keep your back straight while you have the weight distributed on your hands while they are at the sides of your body. One of the biggest misconceptions and complaints about the hex bar deadlift is that you can't go as deep with it compared to a conventional barbell deadlift, which isn't true. To go deeper with a hex deadlift, instead of using 45lbs weights, use either 35lbs or 25lbs weights depending on how deep you want to go. Another option is to just stand on a platform.

@MrAnamchara 2 ай бұрын

@@chase_modugno I think the hex bar is a confusing piece of equipment because it can remove / partially remove the hinge movement and replace it with more of a squat from a dead stop . The whole point of the deadlift is the hinge and a straight bar gives you the tension in the glutes and hamstrings far more effectively. The hex bar isn’t safer , being safe comes from the lifter and their own diligence in practice good form !. You can get more ROM from a hex bar by turning it upside down and not using the handles that are at more of a silver dollar deadlift height. I would rather do a dedicated squatting and hinging movement than using a hex bar , which in my option is only useful for farmers walks

@chase_modugno 2 ай бұрын

@@MrAnamchara That hinge movement is one of the biggest reasons why so many new lifters, and even seasoned lifters, get injured. Having to put your hands in front of your body naturally puts your back in a slouched position. The hex bar eliminates those problems. I agree that with diligence and good practice you can get safe and effective conventional deadlifts. But the hex bar doesn't take nearly as much practice or dedication to become a master at performing a proper and safe lift. I agree if you don't have a platform to stand on or don't feel like stacking a ton of 35lbs or 25lbs plates you can just can flip over the hex bar and use the flat handles. My biggest complaint with that is that it makes it annoying trying to balance the hex bar, it just always tips way too forward or backwards. But at the end of the day, to each their own, do what you like.

@MrAnamchara 2 ай бұрын

@@chase_modugno The hinge movement is not complicated to teach . You can teach anyone to deadlift in 5 simple steps . It’s an easier lift to teach than a bench press or squat . Seasoned lifters get injured in squats and bench presses too . The risk of injury is not decided by the movement . I agree each to their own but I think if you can’t teach someone to lift with a straight bar in one session then maybe you just can’t coach . Thats my two cents on this

@chase_modugno 2 ай бұрын

@@MrAnamchara It's a statistical fact that more people injure themselves with the straight bar (partly due to the straight bar being the popular choice because of the weightlifting culture's stigma against trying alternative ways of lifting). That's why there a lot of trainers that recommend new lifters to start with the hex bar, because it's easier and it's a safer lift. I've personally never heard of a single person that got hurt using the hex bar, though I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm sure there are some people that have hurt themselves. Now looking at things from a physics point of view, when all the weight is distributed more towards the front of a person's body, their back is more likely to bend when they start to fail the lift. This is less likely to happen to a person when they're pushing themselves to their limits on the hex bar. Now it may not be complicated to teach someone to lift properly with the straight bar, but it can be more difficult for some (not all) people to learn how to do. Many people just want a safe and easy to learn lift. And many aren't planning to be a serious lifter, so it's important to offer alternative lifts and never to force someone to do one thing, especially if they don't like it and if it's hard for them to learn.

@chase_modugno 2 ай бұрын

@@MrAnamchara I'm also not saying that the straight bar doesn't offer some superior benefits whenever done properly. The different range of motion is definitely hitting different muscles than the hex bar. But the same can be said for the hex bar. For example, a straight bar dead lifter can almost certainly lift heavier weight with a hex bar. Since they're able to lift heavier weights with the hex bar, they're getting more gains in certain parts of their body that they wouldn't be getting as much of with the straight bar.

The fact that it marginally lowered the man's hips is due to his proportions. People with longer femurs will have higher hips.

You can't adjust the starting position like that without moving the bar forward of the mid foot, unless it was behind the mid foot to begin with (in which case that was your problem all along). All you're doing is making a less efficient bar path, and as soon as you put heavy weight on the bar the first step of the lift will become pulling the bar back over the midfoot - which will negate the change in starting position.

From a powerlifting perspective many prefer his form to yours because its generally stronger. I think the way you do is better for building muscle but wont make him his strongest.

Once the weight gets heavier everything will fall apart. Watch Coan deadlift lesson instead.

Watched this video. Squatted and had nil back pain. Focused on the breath work and the bar path. Never felt as strong. Pushed my old PB and it felt super light, could’ve probably lifted more but I’ll save that for the next round 💪🏽 Thank you

That's funny that he's apparently started with a high hip position which was not considered good. When I watch the mark riptoe videos he always says if your hip drops down you're doing it wrong. That lift is such a complex exercise and it's hard to know exactly what is the right form. Right now with my current form my lower back doesn't hurt anymore from deadlift so I must be doing something right. I only wish I knew what it was...

I think it all depends on your body proportions. You need to adjust enough so that your legs and glutes do the lifting, and not your lower back. So whatever position your hips need to be in to achieve that result, that’s your ideal starting position. There can’t be a one size fits all rule. Humans come in all shapes and sizes. What works for one individual won’t necessarily work for the next.
