My mental cue that makes technique fall into place is to leg press first, then hip thrust. Whenever I start to drift away and shoot the hips up too early, that's what I have to remember to get back on track. Important injury prevention technique for me, whenever it gets really hard, I put the bar down and stand up to brace into the belt again. I can't get a deep breath when I'm bent over, at least not nearly as good. If the brace isn't 100%, it's too risky. There's no bonus point for repping it out as fast as possible, good safe reps only. You can take big risks in competition, not at the gym.

Deadlifts are one of those movements that I'm always checking myself on. Great guide! I'll watching this video for a long time to come. Thanks, Eugene!

I've had several lower back surgeries, and as I'm ancient now, I "cheat" by only doing trap bar deadlifts however points 2 - 5 are still relevant for me - thank you. BTW I like this format.

This is really helpful. Thank you so much Eugene.

I found that the most effective way to brace for myself was by using the valsalva manouvre, it worked with squats aswell. But tbh I've gone away from both exercises altogether, I've got no interest in powerlifting and prefer to use safer methods to train my lower back and legs, like hack squats and RDLS using lighter weights.

Very nice

Any chance to do such a video for benchpress? My form is really iffy. Thanks!

thanks, great vid. Can I ask how you got the back injury?

that bar-jack analogy really clicked something in my brain !

The queue where it's supposed to feel like you're pushing the earth away from you was a game changer for my DLs.

Do you have any keys for Stiff Leg Deadlifts - that are more hamstring focused. I have this exercise in my for my hamstrings and i am wondering if you still recommend the same cues for a SLDL?

This is probably the most detailed and digestible breakdown I've seen

Do a comparison video between deadlifting and trapbar deadlift . Pro and cons for a bodybuilder and for a powerlifter. Str8 bar Deadlift seems risky , why not just trap bar deadlift and do some other exercise that targets lower back as a superset

1:01 FWIW, Mitchell Hooper mentioned this recently also.

I mean the ab bracing happens automatically anyway, so not sure if that's usefull for most people, but really what needs to be said is that you gotta have that mind muscle connection with your glutes because the glutes just tend to not be very active at the start, and not using your glutes enough isn't good, perhaps my back will round too much or something since my lower back can't handle it without arching.

I'll never forget when I hurt my back doing a deadlift I didn't feel it until it was time to go down! I began my descent and I quickly felt the pinch in my lower left side and I immediately stood up, holding the weight and trying to think how to get out of it without dropping the weight. I slowly lowered it down and at the same time went to a knee, then lowered the other side.

Yo - Deadlifting feels like such a minefield. I've injured my back doing DLs and I've deduced that this is due to my lack of hamstring flexibility preventing me from being able to reach the bar without rounding my back but this video does not mention this at all. What's your advice?

Deficit deadlifts with lighter loads. If deadlifts feel too dangerous, evaluate what you are deadlifting for. If you are a powerlifter, you need to switch to sumo (unless you're tall) If you're a bodybuilder, you can get away with very low, or zero deadlift volume.

It's almost always load/fatigue management. Look at the ridiculous feats from @deadliestlift - he's not an abnormality, just a good example of the fact thay body is resilient to any position you put it in regardless of "tightness" etc with a smart progression. That being said, for you it is always worth experimenting with technique to find the strongest most comfortable one for your goals and structure! Sumo may help

I had the same issue after a back injury. What I did was start with rack pulls just below the knee. I trained those until I got pretty strong. Then I would increase the range of motion, reduce the loading, get strong with more rom, rinse, repeat, I set a lifetime deadlift pr this year. I progressed all the way to straight leg deadlifts from the floor from rack pulls in a couple years. Knowing what I know now I could have done it in way less time

Is it possible to just reduce the weight and do more reps ?

What do you do if you don't have weights the same size as 45s and you aren't strong enough yet to do 135?

In 2014 I pulled my lower back deadlifting. I was warming up with moderate weight and it popped. Still not right today.

Best explanation hands down. Also big plus for not using retarded sound effects and graphics etc. Solid, great vid. Thanks

Nice haircut 🎉

Another tip is considering what the benefit of deadlifting is for your daily life activities, unless you are powerlifting at the competative level, there is no reason to do deadlifts, most people end up with back injuries, no physical therapist would advise doing deadlifts

i do 45° hyperextensions. problem solved.

I know lifting correctly is important but.. Eugene with short hair 🥵

Wait, whend you cut your magnificent hair????? Still looks like a king tho

My problem is how I should use my lower back. Should I push towards an arch to prevent rounding? It's hard to just keep it flat by not actively push against the pull of the weight. It feels easiest to kinda push the pelvic under me and just keep it there but I'm afraid that it will go into excessive rounding when it gets heavy. The bracing alone doesn't feel like this magic thing that just keeps the pelvis locked through the lift. Man, I can't explain. I'm crazy stronger just tucking the but under me and just let it be there without fighting the weight so to speak. But it also feels dangerous. 🤷‍ This is how I feel the strongest. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZmprqNelmbLFm9Y.html

Mistake number one, lifting super heavy when you're not a competitive powerlifter. Lift mid and comfortable weights, build up your strength and physique, numbers mean absolutely nothing.

@user-he4ef9br7z

5 ай бұрын

Eh. Deadlifts are pretty much a numbers thing. A pure bodybuilder is going to focus on RDLs and slow eccentrics. The conventional barbell deadlift is basically an ego/competition move, the whole point is to pull as much weight as possible.

The deadlift has five steps. 1. Stance - heels hip width apart, toes pointed out about 20degrees, shins 1" from the bar - this puts the bar over the mid-foot, where it will stay for the entire lift 2. Grip - with stiff knees and without moving the bar forward or back, reach down and take your grip just outside your legs (from this point forward it is important to remember DON'T MOVE THE BAR) 3. Hips Position - now unlock your knees and lower your butt until your shins touch the bar and stop moving. 4. Eye Gaze and Squeeze - lock your face on something about 12' in front of you and stare at it. Take a huge breath through your mouth, shove your belly down between your knees and squeeze your chest out as hard as you can, think point my butthole at the wall behind me and my ripples at the wall in front of me. Hold thus position tightly the bar should click as the slack is pulled out may even begin to float off the floor - DO NOT LOWER YOUR HIPS when you squeeze 5. Press - Drag the bar straight up your legs as you push your feet through the floor. Do not think of the deadlift as a lift. Think of it as a press. Like a leg press. If I squeeze properly and hold my breath I have a mechanically efficient system of levers - my skeleton, held firm by the motors - my muscles and tendons. I will transfer the force of my feet pressing the floor away through my skeletal system and into the bar if I stay as tight as possible. Your back should be held in rigid extension and should not be allowed to round. The arms should be angled slightly backwards from the shoulders to the bar at about 7 degrees or so. This puts the armpits directly over the top of the bar. I squeeze the bar into my shins by squeezing my armpits tight as I drag the bar up my legs.

Well this is all nice, but really doesnt work for tall people with normal wingspan. Im 196cm (6ft5) and around 105kg(230lb), I am in shape, put my natural initial setup is making my back go waaaay too low. This is why most of athletes have some kind of cushions that raises the bar 2inches. In that position my back are in good deadlift position. Only tall people with short legs and long wingspan can do it your way

Not worth the risk. I do RDL, trap bar, and rack pulls instead.

Best way to avoid deadlift problems is to not deadlift. I workout alone, so I usually stay away from deadlifts and some free weight lifts like bench press with a bar. I can achieve all my goals with machines.

This video wasn't made for the top powerlifters and bodybuilders. It was made for people who like to think about how they lift to prevent injuries and for people who are just getting started.

Number 1 most detrimental word to use in a dead lift is the word "pull". This mentality queues people into literally trying to pull the weight off the floor instead of pushing your feet through the floor. One uses your lower back(bad), the other your legs. Probably only the second time imve heard a KZreadr correctly mentally queue the lift properly. Also sorry to tell everyone this but no matter how good your form, at some point you're going to Injure your back. There's not a human on the planet deadlifting over 315 that hasn't at the very least "tweaked" thier back at some point. 20s don't count because you're nearly indestructible when youre a kid... It's that +30 where it'll get ya 😂

if you go heavy on deadlifts its a one way ticket to snap city, just wait. besides, 99% relies 100% on their belt to pull. absolutely waste of time for non powerlifters and if you look in actual sports, very few if any do regular barbell deads, because risk to reward is terrible. not needed at all to perform at 100% in sports, sadly powerlifters are forced to do it, eventually they will snap. i know tons of former powerlifters with daily backpain. you can do deadlifts if you don't go heavy tho, but if you max out all the time like most people in the gym are, its just a matter of time. i deadlifted for years, did 505 at 200 bw for 10 reps but when i actually stopped deadlifting and focused more on rowing and pulling, my back grew bigtime. but sure, keep deadlifting, you will get smarter in your 30s and 40s ;)

Just don't deadlift, it's not optimal for gains per risk of injury
