I dont agree, if you dont get injured deadlifting in the gym you will get injured being weak carrying weights outside of the gym. We are humans, we can get injured

@@masterchief4868 I think it's more nuanced than that. The comment was saying "Don't compete." You can still train your deadlift for overall strength, but without training to compete. The competition aspect is where the injuries are most likely to occur, pushing the body to unnatural limits and expectations.

You are a very nice example of a good powerlifter and a decent human being. When i start working ill get some coaching from you i hope

Amazing video man! Such important information! Really glad you worded it so well, a lot of people just see PR's online and they think they should be able to do it the exact same.

Thanks for being upfront about this. It makes sense that when you are pushing yourself to the limit, especially in strength training - tweaks and worse are going to happen.

I completely agree with injury being an inevitability If you're going to put your body through these stresses you need to look after it, join health should be top priority along with recovery These are things so easily achieved through a good diet: lots of veg for the vitamins, oily fish for the omega fats ect all help with this I squat triple my bodyweight with no issues and I would put this down to my body health being a high priority Also love the channel and love the vids

great stuff, love your content, but when will you share your neck workout routine man..?

True knowledge brother. God bless you.

This is true for Weigthlifting also. A lot of lifters have knee issues. Myself included. A dislocated elbow. Some wrist pain. Etc. Strength sports are hardcore stuff.

ExeKuTioN Cro nah he released an 8 week program before releasing the full 16 week program. I'd rather run a shorter cycle since I can still progressive relatively quickly

To tack onto that question, and the conclusion that injury is inevitable, can it be mitigated? Risk reduction, not elimination.

Great video. I've been working around a hip issue for awhile now but its not bad enough to stop me squatting.

Bryce, you are without a doubt my favorite lifter on KZread, I am so grateful. What you said about coming to a point where lifting more weight could become more unhealthy than healthy. I do not plan to compete nor specify into powerlifting but I do want to be quite strong. A 400 lbs squat would not be bad at all and at this point I am not that far off, however in other movements I might be. I know you said that a 400 LBS squat was an arbitrary number but what do you think would be the weight for the other lifts such as OH Press, DL and Bench? Once again Bryce, thank you.

Great explanation👏

excited for the upcoming tatt tues!

I had some hip pain when squatting (on one side), and bringing in my stance helped. No more pain.

Great content Bryce, keep it up man love the channel.

Finally someone who tells the truth. It’s not power lifting that gets you injured, it’s competing. I’m actually here as someone who is more of a specialized runner looking to generalize and we are just as bad about getting injured.

Bryce, if you were building a home gym would you buy a squat rack like the Rogue r-3 for example or a competition style bench like the combo bench that Mike from StrongArm sports sells? would love to hear your thought on that, pros and cons of both and your preference. Thanks for all the great content.

Knees, right elbow and shoulder, have tweaked my back but either you love it or you don’t.

Hey Bryce (cool last name, Polish origins?) I discovered your channel not too long ago and with your guidance made the leap - switched to sumo deadlift today. I only lost 20 kilos from my best conventional (no big deal as I'm not a powerlifter, I train for general strength and health, but I focus on the same lifts for the most part) and the lift immediately felt right. Much better than conventional for my leverages, I think. Your tips and cues made getting into position a breeze. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Based on my case - it's great for people with long torsos compared to legs, so I guess... the opposite? :D Greg Nuckols actually thinks it depends more on your hip structure, so maybe he's right.

well, i guess it's just the best for everyone haha I have super long femurs compared to my torso so it's hard to find somewhere to put my legs on conventionsl deads, and my back isn't as upright as I'd like. According to my sumo video, switching to sumo fixed both those issues yesterday.

yo Bryce, if you have problems with hip mobility would a closer stance benefit in terms of not needing that much external rotation in the Hip Joint and could the wide squat stance you are using be correlated to your hip issues? Im am using a very wide Squat stance too because i have very long legs and very limited ankle dorsiflexion and I feel my hip limiting me in terms of discomfort because i have to rotate them out so much more. Congrats to the performance at nationals! Looking forward to worlds and seeing you crushing the 400+kg Deadlift! Bets regards from Germany! Tim

I'd be impressed with myself to get a 405 lb Squat but it feels like one step forward and two steps back a lot of the time.

Super interested in the 6-0-0 research.

So Bryce, we simply say "No pain no gain" . :P And also, i am elite level powerlifter :P :P After jokes, I have knee(probably meniscus trauma) issue and winging scapula issue. And i'm still training, not too much kgs even its lighter than most people but indeed, training learn how to deal with injuries and stress. I like this and this make me motivated. Never give up, guys! Keep training and healthy :)

god damn bryce you look fit af here! dont get me wrong you look great nowadays too!!

Powerlifters pay great attention to the technique, and many of them also do most of their training using submaximal loads. What is the reason for all the injuries then? Where to draw the line between lifting to improve your health and pushing your body too far?

You're lucky. I've been active in sport since I was little. I've had 4 knee surgeries from it. One kinda major(right knee meniscus, MCL, microfracture) one minor(destroyed left meniscus) and 1 cleanout of cartilage and other crap in each knee. The minor one should have torn my ACL if not for my leg strength according to my orthopedic surgeon based on how I described what caused the injury. Just totally destroyed my meniscus. Nothing left to fix even. Just clean up what was left. I guess I just got lucky. I was going martial arts with a guy and just put my foot down wrong and my knee bent in a bad direction with all 250 lbs of me pushing it. You fight through it and keep going. But as Brian Alsrhue said about playing pickup ball with friends every weekend. Eventually you're going to roll an ankle. It just happens. Injury is a part of the game unfortunately. And Alan Thrall said that not training has its own set of consequences.

Mike, you scared me!
