I just started doing sumos and jeffersons, and honestly, I’m seriously considering just dropping back and front squats. My quads get slammed plenty fine with these variations. Especially the jefferson lifts!
Fun fact when deadlifting you should always be looking with your head directly in front of you when coming up and down. Greatly helps to prevent shoulder and peck injury.
So I am a little confused. I thought the deadlift should have the focus on being a lower back exercise, but in this video it seems there is a lot, if not more focus on the legs. Could anyone explain?
As a boxing trainer, I’m going to study the benefits of the Jefferson deadlift since it resembles the fighting stance. Thanks a lot, bro!
Are paused deadlifts good for fixing hip position in the sumo deadlift?
As I have a tendency to set my hipd an inch or so too low
man those transitions make me feel like I’m using powers to move through time. you guys are killing it otherwise
10:54 video got cut before Jeff clapped. my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Ever had issues keeping the shoulders touching or pent-up in double overhand? Should I lower the weight? I kind of feel like this is might result in an injury, but still want to be lifting heavier weights and working my lower back and hammys. I used to use mixed grip a long time ago but changed to focus on simultaneously building forearm strength
Don’t try and curl your deadlift and you won’t tear your bicep ��
Im 6’5 which makes it rly hard for me to do a convential deadlift. Any tall people got tips for me?
Aww, just watching this video in 2017 and had to google Steve Reeves.. He died just 10 days ago.. RIP Steve Reeves, I’ll do a few sets of the pinch-grib deadlift in your honor.
What about the one where you hold the bar behind your body and perform the deadlift? I have seen some guys at the gym do that. I am not sure if it is an actual exercise or just someone trying to show off. I have never tried it by the way…….
I’ve only done Jefferson. Had an old school football coach & thats how i learned as a kid.
I ran over as soon as I saw the title. Absolutely love the pause deadlift, it single handedly fixed my form because I could never figure out how to drive off the floor, love it bro!
Those are some snazzy ass shoes. Much nicer than the shit kickers I have.
Tanx big time 4 da guidance but U keep stating “it’ll go easy on da lower back”. Why do U say that? Is not da lower back da targeted area?
Is it okay to place your dominant foot slightly in front of the other in sumo? Or does that make it so you’re lifting the weight unevenly? And throw off your hip and back angle?
ur conventinal sucks, its too narrow how u can release powet of ur glutes like that??
Brilliant ideas for variations, will try some in next workout, Thanks for upload Buff Dudes!
I’ve always heard sumo isn’t cheating, but why is it that I can almost always lift 20-40 more lbs than conventional???
Is sumo deadlift easier to perform correctly for people with bad mobility? I’m experiencing some lower back pain after conventional deadlifting and I doubt that’s a good thing:D. I don’t think I can get the proper lower back position no matter what I do.
Thank you so much for the guidance very well explained! ��
I started doing sumo on a leg-day and conventional on a back-day in the same week & I feel great!
Hey. I like you explain the importance of form. Keep it up. Mabuhay ka!
bro loved the video but look just like rhet from rhet and link
So guys this is Part 1 of the 3-part deadlift mini-series I’ll be running for the rest of February on Tuesdays. The deadlift is so technical that I think it deserves 3 episodes to be covered reasonably well. The same can probably be said for the squat and bench press, so I may follow up on those with another dedicated “errors” video and/or videos on specific modifications for different bodytypes (height, arm lengths, etc) and maybe yet another on their variations. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy Part 1 and I’ll be back next week with Part 2 on the conventional deadlift. Peace!
Steve Reeves actually intended the deadliest for shoulder shrugs! You can see in his before and after pictures that his shoulders were slightly elevated
What about that thing that some powerlifters sniff right before lifting?
Will incorporate this on leg days, and conventional on back days. Stopped doing sumo awhile back because they just felt awkward.
i only have power blocks, can i still get a good workout doing romanian, and trap bar deadlifts with them???
Thanks i git to practice practice practice i was hitting my knees when lifting at first����
i do sumos if do deadlifts last so it will be easier for me.
I wish I watched this video so much earlier! I ended up with a disc bulge by dead lifting with poor form
Thankyou so much for this video you broke down the movements so well ❤️
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?
when are we getting an update on the arms race?? Stoked to see the results
Great video I showed this to my students. I’m a PE teacher in California. Keep up the good work.
The best way to do longer than a 1ct pause work is with a metronome. Keeps you honest.
Really good stuff man but please… dont wear those pants, all kinds of bbc action going on
been doing these for a couple weeks and have pain in my hips. muscles sitting just above the hip joint feel super tight and it even hurts just to walk. almost like a sharp stabbing pain
U r marketing ur own workout related products that makes a tremendous difference because in such a case it feels like u r less concerned about fitness awareness & more inclined on saling….kind of disappointing to me…i will suggest if possible please avoid marketing & focus only on workouts.
Very helpful vid man.This channel is the hidden gem of you tube and helps me personally so much with little changes to your form
Been running Candito’s training program for some time can you recommend some other good programs?
Enjoyed watching your video. Going back to gym next week after 10 weeks of not Deadlifting. Thank you!
What about deficits doe? Deficits are super fun but not really! Also thank you for not putting single leg deads on there because it gives me mild justification to take those out of my accessory work hooray!
Great content! Love your channel, keep up the great work David!
Wait. They’re related!? I just though they had some bromance going on holy shit!
Why do you say that the conventional deadlift should be that narrow?
Great demonstration! Recently I find that my upper body lean back too much when I lockout, which resulting some sort of lower back soreness after training, how do I correct this? Thank you
Best guide! I startede to dead lift after seeing this video.
Do you have any idea why my knees touch the bar when I am going to put down the bar? It really breaks my rythm sometimes
I always come to your channel for weightlifting tips! You are so helpful! Thank you
I was interested to hear you say deadlifts are more physically demanding than squats. I always felt they were both equally demanding and fatiguing.
Wishing you a great thanksgiving…your channel and its content is definitely something to be grateful for!
5:30 curiously, isn’t the bar supposed to be over the middle of your foot? it looks like the bar is closer to your toes.
Just watched again since deciding to pull sumo today cuz of a hammie tweak and perfect refresher. Plus I miss my TT intro jam! Tks Jeff/Bro Jeff
I never could get how to do a conventional deadlift. I can only do Romanian
superb! one of the best videos I’ve seen on how to lift.:)
Man! This vid is a real mess! Jumping from different Technics without giving particular development for each one! 3/4 of the time is a loss of time! boooooooooo
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
Funny… I can look back on a life of achievement, on challenges met, obstacles overcome. I’ve accomplished more than most men, and without the use of my legs. What makes a man sir?
I would like to say thank you very much im a trainer and have always used a conventional pull and my pr is 535 but ive been researching the sumo version to incorporate more variations for myself and clients. I appreciate your video and this was a very well made video! thank you so very much.keep up the amazin work!
I have really long legs so I can’t place my hips that low is that a problem? still a straight back en really feel the quads hams and glutes
You know how to deadlift. You’ve been doing it for years.. now tell me why you really clicked on this video
There is no stretch reflex in the RDL sorry dudes. An RDL is not plyometric in nature.
I watch so many instructional videos on squats and deadlifts. Yours are absolutely the best. Thank you!
started sumo deadlifting because of your videos. Im 6’3″ and for some reason it feels safer and I’m much more comfortable getting the bar off the ground.
Can someone help me please. The gym instructor told me i was doing deadlifts wrong. And im a bit confused cause on the internet everywhere it says the important part is to not lock knees, keep back straight and so on. He now told me i needed to push my chest out and my shoulders back which does feel weird, cause now i feel it more in my arms. Moreover now my back forms a curvature (not a big one but still) and isnt as straight anymore. Is it right to actively engage shoulders and chest while lifting?
On mixed grip do you put your dominant hand under or weak hand under or does it not matter
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!
you sir are a god! you explain every little detail in a clear and concise fashion! please dont ever think you explain “too much”. its those very little tiny details that i tend to obsess over because I want to be safe. you hit everything about the sumo. please continue with these amazing in depth videos, and don’t be afraid to explain every tiny little detail. even if you think it’s a small insignificant, irrelevant piece of info, please share it with us. it’s those little things that i like and no one on youtube puts out. you do some much work for us and i cant stop watching your videos because the info is so great and the titles are not click bait-y. keep it up!
Thank you SO much for making this video. I switched from Planet Fitness to Golds gym this week and they have a platform with bumper weights and a bar and I wanted to do some deadlifts and this video helped me do them correctly.
This is a squat. This is not a deadlift. You’d think a series called “The Right Way” would try to make sure they are in fact, doing the exercises the right way.
Any sport specific benefit of sumo vs conventional? In my situation, training mainly for skiing (as well as overall strength). Foot placement in conventional seems more readily transferable to skiing. But, with the extra quad recruitment in sumo perhaps this is better?
What a Great Video, thank you for your amazing explanation, is the first time I feel I can do a correct form when Im doing deadlifts!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
this is awesome dude, im ready to deadlift like a true buff dude
I’ve been setting my feet shoulder length �� Super helpful! Thank you!
I was really having a big issue with the deadlifts.. I was kinda feeling guilty and unmotivated cuz I couldn’t perform these with the proper form.
After watching this video I’m gonna improve on my form.. Thank a ton!
What about your hands? Why are they different? One is facing in and one is facing out
Great video. Add 11 or as an alternative to 10: The Snatch Grip DL. Beside the glutes and hamstrings your upper back will scream.
Best explanation for how to set the lats I’ve ever seen. Everybody is like “activate the lats and go”. That’s like Pavarotti being like “ok sing like me”. So bravo, Meg!
Not knocking you or anything, but “Escamilla” is pronounced “Escamiya”
I always appreciate the detail and care that go into each of your videos ����. Quick question Jeff: is it generally recommended to do low rep/heavier weight for large muscle groups, or is this specific to the deadlift? Should I shift to low rep/heavier weight for other large muscles like back and chest too? (Assuming I’m going for hypertrophy)
Wow, really spot on with your observation about switching to a pull too early. You may want to consider more click-baity titles, you deserve the views. Or maybe hit up someone like Omar Isuf to get featured on their channel
Surprised the zercher deadlift didn’t at least get an honorable mention
I’ll give you props for #10, I’ve never seen that one before.
I can lift more with sumo than conventional, what does that mean?
Hello Jeff, does the bar have to be reset on the floor each time?? when I do that I feel like it takes a longer time to left off the floor n I lose my position…is it okay to just go below the knee and pull up or not??
How in the world can back be the weakpoint if you have trouble with lovkout. that sounds like bs
Hey good job u actually hit on every important detail.. ive been deadlifting for like 3 yrs and started out with straight leg DL then figured out i was way more comfortable with sumo DL but im still not sure what different muscles they each target and why do one over the other. That would have been good info to include. Other than that great simple and informative vid.
This was really helpful, thanks. Would love to see a video on best form for sumo deadlifts with two dumbbells..which is all I have right now during the COVID-19 lock-down.
Why do you hold the bar with one hand gripping under, and one hand gripping over?? I’m really trying to work on my form, but I’m not sure what the benefit it.
For anyone curious on how to actually do this exercise properly here is a good video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFkeIXvhSFs
nice vid! but you guys forgot the variations behind the back.
You are not meant to retract your shoulder blades during deadlifts
Jeff is one of the only few people who actually knows what he’s talking about and presents real information unlike the other stupid YouTubers. Right now I can only trust the two Jeffs.
Maybe I am being overly critical and I will gladly delete this but after all great info you still appear to do a squat/deadlift versus a deadlift.
Honest?
dumb question. Did deadlifts in college. had a friend that had us do them with the feet on a platform so you had to reach further down for the bar. he called those rdls. but every thing I have seen never mentions them. are they a good lift or bad lift? I am just getting back in the gun after almost 10 years of not working out and needing help
Why do people always demonstrate deadlift with 135lbs???
Gotta show a little more challenging weight. The form doesn’t break down at such low weights.
Jeff you should cover the semi-sumo deadlift stance that SSJ Bob uses.
Great editing. I am gonna start using a progressive ROM DL set up to see how that works out on Monday and then on Friday probably gonna do 3×3 at 70% of paused DL. Great videos!
My deadlift stuck for months, gonna work this in for couple weeks. Thanks for pro tips!
Technique Tuesday intro is so fucking clean. Legit one of the best and most satisfying intros for a youtube video out there.
Dude there is a 8 minute compilation of bicep tears on youtube. Almost all of them came for over/under deadlifting. Straps/hook grip is the best option
Thanks boss, trying to slowly switch to the hook grip, i’ll have to try the thumb tape
I feel like some of these fitness videos make things way more complicated than it needs to be.
your channel is going to be bigg! Much god tips, and you stick to what we want to see.
Best of luck from Norway
Do this.
Progressively decrease the distance between two hands. (You’ll have problem stabilising the bar but you’re gonna get it right)
My last set (5 set × 5) has zero distance between hands.
My qualifications: I did 3 consecutive takedowns(zero wrestling background) on the bully in my college who’s above 6ft and weighs nearly 100.
I’m 5’7 and 65 kg.
Edit: if you’re flexible enough then you can stretch your legs even further than the weights but make it even on both sides.
All sets alternating grips. Top set and joker sets with straps. Pyramid sets no straps and conventional so my hamstrings don’t lag.
Most underrated Fitness Experts on Youtube. Gotta try that Steeve Rieves DL.
You mentioned possible challenges with bad hips and sumo. I have a medial meniscus tear and sumo is impossible for me, no matter the weight I’m pulling. So people with similar problems be careful!
I wouldn’t call a deadlift a lower body exercise because I never feel it on my hamstrings, always my lower back hence why I do it on back day. So am I doing it wrong?
i do not like the suitcase deadlift. Because of overload on one side of the spine. That will possibly overkill your spinal disc at one side. And you will never guess… te opposite side of the barbel because of contraction of the erector spinae at that opposite side. Therefor i always tell to lift your groceries with to bags
Makes me mad how many times I got strong and in good shape but have up because the scale wasn’t where I wanted it. (Gen-X female here…) Thank you youngsters for carrying on the fight that healthy and strong is beautiful! You did it! I love it. I’m inspired all over again. I personally fell in love with Russian kettlebell, so I’ll going to go back to that to start…. But a seed had been planted!
Is there a reason on how you hold the bar? I notice one hand is under and the other is over the bar.
Fk you make the best technique/educational videos on all the compound lifts ���� cheers mate
can deadlifts effectively build traps? even it is just a stabilizer?
I have a firm belief that all the trainers out there nowadays have a part time job at NASA. (Sarcasm)
Back at it with some killer advice. You deserve waaay more credit for all the help you give.
what are your fthoughts on snatch grip sumo? I have found increasing strength in this variation, I am much stronger off the floor.
The 1 dislike came from the person who’s finger came off using hook grip
You’re telling me I’ve been doing sumo deadlifts this whole time? Wah….
Amazing tutorial ���� Q: why do you grip the bar with your arms rotated in opposite directions? ��
Your videos are perfect! The detail and thoroughness is just bar none!!!!
Yes I m absolutely stunned by the quality of the content here and the realisation. Again, great content, clear and precise demonstration, explanation and prescription for the watchers. I really wish i could do the same!
is it ok if you don’t go as low with the sumo if your plates are not so wide? Idk I find myself getting knee pain if I turn my knees out so much and go low
You look so short in every of your videos. Is it because of your camera lens or else?
I am following a trainer’s program that contains deadlifts 3 times a week on leg days. Is it ok or should I reduce it to 2 times a week?
I could not do a normal deadlift without a next day back pain, until i discoverd sumo deadlift which I guess it’s better for tall guys, i’m only 6′.
Excellent video. I bought my first weights in 1965. Your form is perfect and those who follow you will rarely be injured. I thought everyone had forgotten about the Jefferson deadlift. When I started standard weight sets were what were commonly available. The 25 lb. standard plates were the heaviest carried by stores then. What was nice about that was that the pull started with the bottom of the bar 4″ from the ground rather than 8″ when using Olympic plates. To get more range with Olympic plates stand on wooden blocks. Sections of carpenter’s staging makes some durable blocks. To get enough weight on a standard bar I removed the chrome sleeve and moved the collars in toward center.
All my respect. This is my second video I’ve watched from you. I’m impressed by your knowledge and presentation. ����
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
Hi! I recently started pulling sumo and out of the blue I added 30 kgs to my dl.. Only problem is that everytime after i pull sumo my crotch, where the legs connect, hurts as fuck. Is that normal? Will that eventually go away? Thanks a lot!
This is phenomenal!! Thank you so much!! You’re beauty AND THE #BEAST ❤️❤️❤️��������♀️��
Videos are superb. Really guided me towards perfecting my form on my lifts. Keep up the good work man ��������
Happy to see the science behind the sumo. I prefer the sumo for my body composition because it puts absolutely zero strain on my lower back at all and i can control the weight more. I honestly believe sumo is the long term safest way to deadlift. Im sorry i know weight junkies think its cheating the deadlift due to shorter range of motion but id rather have long term safety than be able to stiff leg 500 pounds and require hip surgeries in 20 years and severe lumbar issues like the pros wind up with.
Just started strength training and my hamstrings are killing me but I’m so excited to start.
Just be sure to lift in a twisting, jerking motion with a rounded lower back whenever performing any of these
I want your beard and muscles. Did your weightlifting acheive your beard or contribute size at all? Or was the beard beforehand?
people make sumo deadlifts look so easy i did them.today my.god i did it tho
What’s your opinion for the best workout routine for a bjj/judo guy. Thanks.
Very informative! Only question I have is, aren’t we supposed to squeeze the glutes upon standing up?
Hey Bryce, trying to figure out what accessory exercises i should include in my program. So far i have paused deadlifts (Thanks to you), pendlay rows, block pulls, pull ups and GHR’s. Just wondering if i should include Conventional deadlifts & Romanian deadlifts? And if GHR’s & weighted pull ups are worth it!! Would love your 2 cents mate!
The best way to deadlift is not to deadlift. It will just make you shorter as it compresses the spine and leave you vulnerable to injury more than any other exercise besides the squat if done enough. Also who wants a pear shaped body, save the move for the power lifters.
How many sets and reps are best for conventional deadlift if I’m looking for mass
But why wouldn’t you do a deficit paused deadlift? Considering you would go a few inches off the floor on a deficit and you will be at the starting position of a regular deadlift. Sounds better right?
Coming off an recurring injury from deadlifts/squats, this form has helped immensely. This video helped so much bro. Thanks!
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!
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?
Awesome…especially packing your lats part…I’ve recently noticed a pain in my lower back…perhaps I wasn’t packing my lats?.because until now I didn’t know of that…
That pinch grip deadlift if just a variation of snatch grip deadlift, which was over looked your list.
Can you talk about your hand placement, and why you use one over and one under instead of both over?
i like to exercise inside and cant really be setting the weights on the ground and make a lot of noise so can i do the rack and Romanian deadlifts or would i need to supplement them with a couple of other moves to even things out?
I always use mixed grip, but after watching your video I’m gonna switch to hook grip, thank you so much you explained it so well ��
I’m doing deadlifts with a Land Rover defender battery in my bedroom as I’m stuck in house on lockdown. Great tutorial I’m recovering from spinal fracture hence I’m watching your channel even though I know how to deadlift thought it’d be ideal to deadlift with you. Take care
This video changed �� the �� game �� for me! TYTYTY
I have a chronic back injury & eased back into weightlifting with your program on Bodybuilding app. After changing my form from your vid suggestions, I’m back to deadlifting “heavy” with no pain. ❤️❤️
Jeff, out of curiosity, what’s your accent when pronouncing the word ‘bar’?
wow! you´re my idol! thanks for the technical detail of muscles, movement and technique!!!
i rarely ever hit my erectors hard, some im going to straw away from the sumo lift
Worked the pinch grip DL into my routine yesterday. Forgetting what muscles it targeted, I woke up this morning like “Why is my upper back so sore???”.
Feels good!
Love this video its really helpfull! I started doing sumo deadlifts now but I must admit I feel a bit insecure because I dont know if my form is right and I dont really have anyone to correct me:/ how do I know if I’m doing something wrong?
1: conventional deadlift
2: conventional deadlift
3: conventional deadlift
4: conventional deadlift
5: conventional deadlift
The adjustment for the hook grip can go quite fast. At least for me it took 4 deadlift sessions to go from insane pain at 50% of 1 rep max to no pain at all at 100%. Feels great and very stable.
pretty hard to lock out your knees before hips on the jefferson… i mean unless youre in some weird off balance stance to begin with
One of the best powerlifting channels on youtube, although this title triggers me a bit, clickbait and superlative with god tier content, its a bit of a shame )=
Damn. My new accessory movement for deadlifts that I came up with is basically that paused dimmel deadlift you mentioned. My lockout is bad, so I was doing paused below the knee with an extra RDL reps before putting the weight down. Causes the glutes to get a sickening pump.
Would paused be better than deficit deadlifts for weakness breaking the bar off the floor?
Amazing content, guys! Great to see you guys have a YT channel. ❤
good day thank you for upload. Why the chains variations? is any difference compared to put some more plates?
I’m initiating my boyfriend to musculation/powerlifting, and he has a really hard time figuring how to pack his lats and keep them in place for deadlifts.
Also, this video makes me realize I’m placing my feet too wide (it’s like between a conventional and a sumo lol) and maybe squatting to much my deadlift. Now I’ll be better at “coaching” my boyfriend haha. He will still have to practice a lot packing his lats though x) Also he is not very flexible, so he also struggle a lot with stiff leg and RDL. For now, he just does RDLs with the range of motion he can manage to reach, and he might also have to do some hamstring and back stretching a lot:p Poor him
I usually do RDL’s like you guys, but I’ve also seen them where you have to go all the way down to the ground with the weight (but with less knee flexion than a conventional deadlift). Is it better to go down with a RDL to just below your knee line, or should you go all the way down?
Man you really know how to explain things clearly. This channel really deserves more views. Can’t wait to see your seminar in Winnipeg!
The way you explained pulling the slack out of the bar makes more sense then I’ve ever heard anybody explain what that actually means or why you do it. Appreciate it man ������
Thanks for the great tips, as a twelve year old who has a collection of wheights, throwing knifes, and axes, this was handy! And I’m not a boy.
Thanks that helped a lot I will check everything out later. Thanks
Hahahaha, I totally agree about the paused deads. Something I love to program for people.
Meg said pack your lats. Makes sense. First time I heard that cue. Different from packing your shoulders for sure. The confusion sets in.
I was going to hit like and subscribe less than half way through the video for the quality of the video anyway, but even if I that way inclined I would still have done it just for the bro impersonations lol.
Please keep doing what you are doing, its awesome! You will hit the growspurt soon i think!
The quality and value of all your videos is so damn high. Informative, but still entertaining. Such a big fan of this channel and your new ones. You two really show that hard work pays off.
Would you recommend this as a potential movement during recovering from a disk injury? Would the time under tension help or hurt? I’m pulling 1.5 plates without issue, would I be better off waiting until I can pull 2 plates again and just pull 1 for pause?
Soooo happy you talked about TALL and SHORT people. I thought I was doing something wrong because I just dont do well with Sumo. I love the conventional……Im also 6’0”. Thank you girlie!
Hey Bryce, thoughts on a pause just below the knees? seems to be a massive sticking point for me. Any advice?
The torso should be bent over further and the knees should not be bent as much imho.
I completely agree with you, deficit deadlifts are easier and give me more leg drive
If you just wanted to train with deadlifts, how would you do that? How many sets and reps would one do if they wanted to just train for strength using five or six deadlift variations?
What about that thing that some powerlifters sniff right before lifting?
Hi Meg! This video is great. Thank you for showing how to pack the lats! I recently started to do conventional DL & back squat. My current focus is form of course but I wonder how to play with increasing weight to keep challenging myself. How often & how much if I only get to do these once a week on separate days. I’m 5’5”, 115 lbs:p
I always wanted to go in to the gym wearing my huaraches, You know like the ones my mom used to smack me with.
3:05 “The Jefferson Deadlift!”
By the video thumbnail, I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE!!!
But this seems like A LEGIT MOVEMENT! It functions like a trap bar if you don’t have one! You get the same benefit of a trap bar, a more vertical orientation!
when fatigued, grab one strap. torque it into your hand to create the same effect as hook grip.
Most effective for me, until my work accident ^^
Dude, you are so damn good at this. You explain everything perfectly and include great demonstrations. I am so excited to use all of the new information I have learned.
So he squats and deadlifts on the same day? Ouch. I always do it on back day as my back is usually what I feel it in the most the next day. Conventional all the way. I could probably pull more sumo eventually but atm it feels pretty awkward.
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.
Awesome video, I will definitely try Jefferson, suitcase and rdl in the next couple days. There are a couple you can keep but outstanding video just the same. I really like conventional with double overhand grip right now but am looking for a few variations.
Ty man i am gona go back to deadlift after long time and this video help me alot
Seriously, this is a quality video tutorial!!! Going to recommend it to people for sure, thanks man! ����♂️����♂️����♂️����♂️����♂️
One of my new favourite powerlifting channels. On the same level as Ptw and Candito. Hope you grow a lot soon
