Content is wonderful. His quads were crazy. Thanks for just letting him just talk with no interruptions. Was great

Just watched a video on Alan Thralls channel where he says the way to know when your in the right position is that your knees should be inside (for conventional) the crease of your elbows. This is a great tip and as you can see at the end of this video, it is exactly where Ben's knees are.

Solid information without any interruptions. His quads are massive.

man this guy is incredible, just watched his world record lifts....huge inspiration! sharpening up my coaching skills, thanks mindpump for this video with Ben, he is the man as are you!

I love Ben!!!! He's a great teacher when it comes to lifting. He keeps it simple and brief!!!

Jesus. This video seriously helped me with my form. Less lower back pain = more successful deadlifts. Thanks duuuude

Awesome! Truly appreciate the work and dedication you all put into the video.

Truly, one of the best instructions out there for doing this exercise. I've always failed to do it appropriately, until I watched this! Thanks!

Those side takes at the end, were wonderful. Excellent video.

Both queues helped with staying tight and locking in much appreciated

Grateful for this video. It fixed my deadlift!

That was probably the best form Ive seen on the deadlift love the foot position point under the bar...Thanks

Wow..fantastic explanations that are so helpful!

So well explained. Thank you!

Great advise !! Proper form is indeed key to lifting more and reducing risk of injury !! 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing !!

First guy to ever say squeeze the rib cage and abs!! This is huge for me also because I naturally have a huge arch in my back...the harder I lock my spine the more arch I have...horrible for deadlifts. I always squeeze my ribcage down so my hips feel like the a curled under me...really they are now straight. Great video

Ben turns sideway to show you from the side the proper spine position. Editor's reaction: switch camera, so you can't see him sideways..

Such a boss. Respect!

awesome video. Thanks so much!

Best DL tutorial I've seen

Is the thing with getting the lats engaged why many powerlifters put their arms out before gripping the bar?

Those quads! Great guide! Thanks.

Real nice job.

This instantly helped my Deadlifts

Immaculate Technique! ace

What an excellent video! Ben is such a beast, and explains his technique very clearly as well.

Awesome info

Great thanks

Thanks!

That side view at the end...my dude might have the prettiest most aesthetically pleasing deadlift I have ever seen.

Very good form...

Awesome! Really breaks it down into manageable chunks. Thanks for the awesome content. I wish my HS strength coaches would have had this knowledge.

Ughhh I need to meet this guy in person!!! 🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️ Not sure what makes me more excited the quality of his instruction or his physique.. incredible.

Great!

Fuck his videos are so simple and effective.

I took a few of Ben’s cues and tried them in my deadlifts this weekend. At first it felt super awkward putting my hands up in the air when making sure to involve the lats, Felt like everybody was staring at me but what the fuck ever because I feel like I got more out of the three sets that I did then the last three months I’ve had of deadlifting on my own. I have slight muscle soreness in some of the back muscles that I don’t feel very often, which I know muscle soreness is not a good measure of how good a workout is but i feel (could be wrong haha) like i might have been working more muscles then when i deadlift the way i was before.

Learnt some nuggets here

please advice breathing techniques, is it breath in while lifting and breath out after dropping the weights? I get dizzy after one life, what did I do wrong? please advice. Thank you.

Are the lats key to not having to much emphasis on the biceps and triceps? trying to find why i have bad tricep pain the day after deadlifts.

I used to grab the bar, do my ten reps and then let the bar drop to floor after these ten. Now i started to do a small pause: i let off the bar after each rep in order for my back to rest a bit. How do you recommend doing the deadlifts?

Great explanation and demonstration. Thanks.

Excellent video. One quick question, how do you keep everything properly engaged at the bottom of the deadlift while applying wraps to the bar as you would unconsciously relax when focusing on this task?

100% agreed!! I also don’t agree with Ben’s “don’t sit back” set up. Sitting back let’s you pull with your shins vertical and knees back and let’s you pull your lats tight and brace as you take a big breath and “hinge” off the floor. Sitting back doesn’t mean squatting into the bar it just means moving your hips back

@BlGGESTBROTHER

@@samsoninthepit Hips should be back and up. Your back should be set at 20-30 degrees. Ben means don't sit back as in don't take a squat position with back at 45 degrees. This causes the hamstrings to slack; which in turn unsets the back angle.

@BlGGESTBROTHER

I'd also add that a good cue to think about is pushing your stomach into your thighs. This will help activate the muscles of the lumbar spine.

Salute 🏋‍♂️

I always feel like If I'm only an inch or so away from the bar, I can't get low enough to grab it, I feel I can't reach. I'm 6'2 so my back kind of looks rounded even though I stick my chest up, roll my elbows back and push feet into the ground. Any help from anyone?

Great video Ben very informative Lets crash those deadlift prs

Nice

the man is a phd and built like the hulk impressive accomplishment God bless him with more.

Great tutorial, thanks Joe Rogan

I love the red color short.... Where to get them?

Quads alert! Love YOu

I am doing this before I deadlift this week

Rippetoe goes into detail on need for shoulders slightly in front of bar, ie arms aligned with scapula on the lift. Have tried both, following this and not. Rip is right. The bar rises inward, *into* your body naturally when shoulders are initially in front. Just think this point needs mentioning here.

7:05 “you can lift the weight without having to actually think about the actual lifting part” ok, thank you. Makes sense lol

What type of shoes is Ben wearing? Cons?

how to avoid hitting knees on the pull?????help.

I’ve never had such bad leg envy!

Should we point our toes straight forward or slightly out?

Crest Fallen depends on your stance. In a sumo deadlift most people have their feet at quite the angle but in conventional stance it’s usually better to have straight feet or a very slight angle.

@Deewood9996

Depends on you. Try both. Its gonna come down to the mechanics your body functions best with to execute the lift.

Forward for close, out for Sumo. If you find you toes pointing out even in close/normal stance you may be a wee bit duck-footed. For posture problems try gravity boots/inversion therapy in conjunction with ELDOA method, fixed me up big time.

@melvinagroth

You want to keep them slightly out on both sumo and conventional, during sumo you have a wider stance which makes your toes point out more but in conventional you want to point your toes out just a slight bit to activate the glutes -/ hips

Great video Ben. Do you have a way to determine the "appropriate leverages" for conventional or sumo? I'm 6'3'' and way more comfortable SUMO dead lifting, however, I don't want to neglect conventional. My back is just very horizontal in conventional. Then I see guys like Brian Shaw and Thor... and think suck it up buttercup.

If your back is horizontal when you do conventional you need to puff your chest up and get your ass down. Start in a position so that your waistline is on the same level as your knees, get your upperbody straight and then pull👍🏻

Because you have a larger structure, you'll want to widen your conventional stance to be able to leverage and get under the bar.
