3 inches... give yourself some credit man

You have a gift for teaching. I'm gonna go cop a shirt

Bromley ..., you explain and break down exercises like no other . Your content is gold !!!

Thank you Bromley. I attribute this video to how I finally got to 4 plates. For years(!!!) I floundered on light, awkward deadlifts, actively hurting myself + unable to progress past ~300 lbs although other lifts were fine. I was very deliberate about deadlift form & had no idea what was going wrong. (Answer: being short with a long torso, I tend to hyperextend my back & was not bracing my core). At last I managed an unproblematic 410 after 2 months of simple +5lbs linear progression AMRAP once a week, starting from 315.

Been watching your videos and listening to your podcasts on and off for a while now, and I can't find anyone out there who does it better. Clear, engaging and you honestly cover every topic needed for a beginner or advanced lifter.

Thank you, this content has literally changed how I approach lifting and the results are incredible.

Another great video, much appreciated especially during this time. Love everything you do on the deadlift.i have a long torso also, unfortunately.

#3! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! You really helped me out Bromley.

Excellent video!

Great video. one of the Best .. Thanks Bromley.

Tip #3 is exactly what I'm wrestling with right now. Thanks Brom

Great information and I know it's going to work out for me. You nailed my technical errors in one of your demonstrations. I saw the light bulb go on and I'm fired up... THANKS!!!!

Great video, pulling the slack which is at the last two minutes is the most important think.

Thank you for making this. Everyone needs to watch this. A lot of "experts" don't understand performance biomechanics.

Your content is amazing and very helpful as I am to the point where I am trying to perfect my barbell movements.

I've seen about 4 of your videos and they are easily some of the best videos I've seen on KZread. Well done! Thanks for helping out the strength community with good insightful information. Your leaning back to pull out the slack in the deadlift was a trick I had to sort of figure out on my own, but man it would have been nice to hear it years ago! The shoulder positioning is sort of news to me though, thanks for mentioning that. Is that sort of like rounded (upper) back deadlifts?

Thank you boss ... great stuff! I needed to hear all 3 of those I think😅

This channel has been underated for a while

Very helpful. Thank you

Tip number 3 is a game changer. I also saw this on one of Eddie Halls youtube clips. First time I tried it, I put 30 lbs on my 5RM with 2 reps in the tank. The other tip I picked up was to set the grip width based upon lat flexure. Use a wide shoulder and flare the lats before setting grip width. This allows the lats to stabilize the spine from the side and makes it easier to bring the hips through. Keep the great content coming.

Thank you for your content sir. I'm gonna need things like this cause I act like I forgot how to deadlift if Ive even taken a week off. I cant wait until I can even do one again.

Great video and great content keep up the great work my man

Back was really sore from dead lifting last week. I'm a long torso guy so I'm most definitely going to try leaning back a tad bit more. Thanks for the advice

Thanks coach !

I'm a long torso short arm guy myself. I've come to this conclusion on my own, but its nice to see someone with much more experience talk about these principles.

Awesome man. Cheers.

Thank you

Been on KZread for a few years now and can say definitively that this content is fantastic. Keep plugging away man and this channel will blow up.

Your method of bracing has done wonders for me, your content is spot on for me, I wish I was doing this 40 years ago. I have been watching Mark Rippetoe, on his 5 point dead lift set up he cautions against dropping the hips because it will push the bar forward, away from the mid-foot. Instead he says to squeeze your chest out/up that in his opinion will flatten the back and set the height of the hips. Thus allowing the hamstrings and glutes to be loaded more effectively and perhaps taking emphasis of the quads. What do you think?

Bromley essentially says the same thing, but differently. He cautioned against dropping the hips such that the knees extend -- when the knees extend, so do the shins, which moves the barbell into a mechanically disadvantageous position, which Rippetoe's cautioning against as well. Bromley's cue to rock back the hips (loading the spring) is much better than Rippetoe's/Thrall's cue to squeeze the chest, I think. Chest cues make you focus on the upper body and distract from the lower body in a way, but the lower body is where the force is being generated and therefore should be the main focus. They also creating unnecessary debate on posterior chain vs. quads as movers in the deadlift. Really they're both being used, and the danger of overusing the quads (by going too low in the hips) seems really overblown in my opinion because it's harder to get into that kind of position in the deadlift setup than the mechanically advantageous one. I think the 5-step-deadlift could really benefit from Bromley's cue, though. A synthesis of both would be phenomenal.

mazing videos !

Thanks!

Hell ya solid vid

Can confirm that short torso long legged cue. sitting back a bit more really helped me.

Thanks for the great content Bromley. I'm hooked. You are built a lot like me with the longer torso and short arms (which gives me hope lol). If I am finishing above my junk should I try and work on bracing with my shoulders forward just a bit? And because of your body leverages do you feel that you are constantly working on movements to help you off the floor? Thanks again.

I also noticed I can't lift as much weight with my shoulders back. It's nice to have some validation from someone more knowledgeable! I noticed the hip-close-to-bar thing in strongmen. I'll try that out in my next workout!

Good shit

i've worked on my posture for a year after stalling at 550 for 3 years because of this. I'm very internally rotated even after doing tons of things for my posture.. I still round sometimes. I took a video of it the other day still not repping perfect even with lighter weight 315 + 60 in chain..which is very limiting when I go above 500

The worst part of deadlifts is when yer arms are right at or above your junk. Turns into a speed bump for the bar on every rep >.>

Tim Good yeah shrugs sometimes that’s a problem

A simple thanks from me

I've found a great amount of luck in the queues "make your armpit touch your hips" in the bottom posture and "Push. Thrust." in preforming the movement.

The three incher ‼️‼️‼️

My whole back rounds on a conventional deadlift but i only miss off the floor/right off the floor. Should i still try to fix it?

My second pandemic training consisted of power cleans and deadlifts, in the garden. It was cold and it even started to rain a little. The plates sank into the lawn; it made the pulls into deficits. I thought, well, I do hope they sink lower equally on both sides and harder is better (she said). Then the sun came out and I managed to crank out 5 sets of 10 on the (deficit) deadlift with a double overhand grip. It was quite nice. I think the virus approves. I made quite a racket and the earthworms came up to see hoping to taste the thunderous rain, but it was just the weight slamming into the dirt over and over again. Poor worms. My issue with this pandemic is I have no rack (you know what I mean), so there is no way for me to squat heavy enough. If this pandemic lasts months, I will turn into a human crane. Some pistol squats and light front squats I power clean are not going to balance out things. Oh well. It's better than being on a ventilator. Gotta keep healthy and moving. That's the way to stave off the ventilator and dying in the IC-unit. I wish everyone 100% health and 100% efficiency on the deadlift. By the way, if you who reads this are located near me in the Netherlands and you do have a rack, I would love to use it for squats :) I will buy one when all this shit is over. Heck, I might not even go back to the gym. Better build my own. I have to be prepared for wave 2 and 3. Even if I end up as the last human on planet Earth, I have to get my squats in somehow.

Great video. I’m built just like you. T. rex arms.

My biggest issue is that the barbell eats away the skin on my shins. It's as though the cuts could never heal even if i wear tall socks and long pants, the scabs still get ripped off. I stopped caring tbh and just go with the flow but there must be a way around it that i just don't know.

So starting strength's video, as I understood it, says you shouldn't move the bar or hip once you have your feet placement, then you should move your shins to touch the bar and the hip will be properly placed without moving the bar at all, but you showed that one could move BOTH the bar while moving the hips downward to get the shins more vertical, is that correct? I'm now a bit confused, as I don't know if my hip placement is correct or too low, so it almost looks like a squat. With SS technique my hip is higher and with yours it is lower.

How to let the shoulders hang and the mats engaged?

literally fixed 2 of these and PRd by 15lbs in one session

What about long femur and getting the hips closer? Should we have the knees forward more in a conventional pull?

@AlexanderBromley

If anything, long legs will benefit more from a 'knees back' cue. From what I've seen, long femur lifters squatting down in a bid to keep the hips into the bar will shove the knees forward and put the lifter upright in a very awkward and inefficient setup. Long legs means the hips have to stay a bit higher, but the same 'counterbalance' action can be achieved as you shift your weight back.

Thank you for this, Alexander! I just tried a dead lift yesterday for the first time since highschool. I can't lift 20lbs from the floor without lower back pain, but I blocked up the weight 6 inches, and did 275 for 10 reps. What do you think is the problem? My chiropractor says I'm in good shape. Thanks again - subbed!

2:05 ha basically the same thing

Is it really ideal to have the bar directly over mid-foot? Pulling with a near vertical shin feels all wrong. Good tip, though - I’ll experiment with moving the hips down and closer.

Vertical shin takes the bar behind the mid foot and theres controversy around that. Vert shins was a game changer for me, but ultimately you get good at how you train. Whether that change is worth the growing pains for you requires a trained eye
