Variations for Stronger Conventional Deadlifts

[@popelak9]

One of my new favourite powerlifting channels. On the same level as Ptw and Candito. Hope you grow a lot soon

Please keep doing what you are doing, its awesome! You will hit the growspurt soon i think!

[@fallingwickets]

Wishing you a great thanksgiving...your channel and its content is definitely something to be grateful for!

[@Cmkred5]

I completely agree with you, deficit deadlifts are easier and give me more leg drive

[@MehGamingTV]

The video achieved its purpose of addressing the most general issue and weakness - back strength and lockout failure. However, you briefly touched on the fact you’re more likely to fail off the floor and I’m the exact same, my back can handle whatever it needs to. What variations have you found success with for that weakness?

[@BourbonondaBayou]

The 1st deadlift variation is how Dorian Yates did his deadlifts. 1st rep off the floor, all the other reps down to between shin and knee and back up

Great content ! Love your channel, keep up the great work David !

[@marvelousjames3468]

Sick video, very informative, however I’m not a big fan of the touch n go deadlift, even though you’ve managed demonstrate its use very well, I feel most lifters would get more out the RDL or tempo deadlift due to the observation that it’s really ease to lose control on the touch n’ go and bounce more than necessary. Could you do a video on particular auxiliary/bodybuilder movements that you think are most beneficial to powerlifters ? Thank you kindly.

[@SamuelpCameron]

If deadlifting with a small deficit often allows a lifter to lift slightly more, would that follow that for conventional deadlift, a lifter would want a flat but thick soled shoe? As opposed to the conventional wisdom to have the thinnest sole possible?

[@iampandatye]

yes

[@liitraining6391]

Is this the whole tempo deadlift volume you mention in the video ? whats the rpe(percentage values for the single and triple ? Great info overall ! This channel is awesome !

[@aaaaantoine]

Nice video, as always ! What do you think of sheiko deadlift to knees to work the strength off the floor ? And do you think your second variation, with a pause juste above the floor, without touching it, woul work well to build strength off the floor ? Maybe with adding a very small deficit to do the pause exactly where the conventionnal start is ? Have a great day !

[@aaaaantoine]

@@BrazosValleyBarbell thank you for your answer. For conventionnal, you are more in favor of building back strength in general to strenghen the start position ? (Sorry if there are mistakes in my messages, english is not my native language)

[@aaaaantoine]

@@BrazosValleyBarbell nice ! Thank you for your answers and your videos !

[@meanman7302]

i was told to always put the bar down on the floor before every other rep, is not this going to cause some back issues? Stopping inch above the ground ?

[@therawstrength1998]

Nice video David. i have 2 question.i do touch and go Deadlift with controlled eccentric portion and a slight pause at the bottom( usually 3 - 5rep followed by 1 or 2 back of set twice a week. Do you think this is translate over to my 1rm deadlift? And Whats your thoughts on overhead press as bench press main accessory movemet?

[@therawstrength1998]

@@BrazosValleyBarbell wow very fast reply..thank you for your advice. keep it up👍👍

[@therawstrength1998]

One more thing. To me you really sound like cailer woolam..

[@therawstrength1998]

@@MatthewBHoth man anytime i hear i just like"sounds very very familiar"but cant recognise. today i saw one of cailer's video on hook grip then i get it.

[@stelliumeleven2889]

what are your fthoughts on snatch grip sumo? I have found increasing strength in this variation, I am much stronger off the floor.

[@krysvillanueva1165]

Sounds like a olympic weightlifting variations. Really works well with a lot of our athletes so im sure powerlifters with weak back can benefit from this

[@FS-wd3hu]

How in the world can back be the weakpoint if you have trouble with lovkout. that sounds like bs

[@FS-wd3hu]

@@BrazosValleyBarbell not an answer but the glutes

[@FS-wd3hu]

@@BrazosValleyBarbell oh I think I understand what you meant now. Bøyou mean IF they have upperback rounding I was think if they had a neutral back
