Man glad I came across your ch I deadlift the same way I have a slight hitch .. people always give me crap for it and say I’m pulling wrong. Thank goodness no injuries.. it works for me! Great content man thanks!

bro i legit have the same technical problems as Kristin... thats crazy, plz don't forget to keep us updated on how ur fixing her technical issues, it will be very helpful for to many others! Love your intelligence and content, B! We need more people like yourself in the community!

rabfit I already got the next one filmed! Did it today! Going to blast out a bunch of this, I promise!

Most informative video I’ve ever seen on the round back DL. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Might be the game changer for my next comp

Awesome video man, appreciate all the informative content you put out! Question, how do you maintain that neutral pelvis and rib cage position on sets of mutiple rep deads? I've found that I can brace pretty well for a single but when it comes to reps I sorta return to that flared and over extended position that I greatly try to avoid. Thanks again man!

Watching from New Mexico! Great content 👍🏾

When I squat heavy I definitely load my right side harder it feels almost like I'm lifting it slightly diagonally.

👏

Hi Brendan, thank you for taking the time to post on this issue. I have been plagued with the exact same issue now for a few years, my left hip flexor/psoas area gets strained and irritated from squatting and deadlifting. My right hip was hiked and anteriorly rotated I spent a while sorting that out but I still keep irritated my left hip flexor area. One of the worst things that I did early on was to keep stretching that left hip flexor and although it would give me some short term relief it would always feel worse the next day. I have been working on strengthening my left hip flexor but I'm reaching the end of my wits so I'm looking forward to any ideas you may have!! Keep up the good work.

Farshid Elli does one of your knees get in and one more out?

Google Korisnik Yes, somewhat. The distance between my right knee and my midline is less than on the left side (which hurts). I've been stretching my right adductor and strengthening my right glute med to help with that

It seems to have helped, but I still keep straining my left hip flexor area either if my volume goes up or intensity.

Squad!

I've been experiencing some kind of very similar pain in my internal rotators lately (especially since I switched to a very very wide stance, which is my strongest position but also very delicate to control), I should film something from the front to see if anything like that is happening 😕 Also, quick question: do you have any tips for when the bar shifts forward when breaking off the floor? I've been doing straight arm lat pulldowns as activation and using some cues but I can't seem to control it

I have people saying i should push my hips back further but I feel ok and this seems to explain why. Wish you could review mine. Anyways cool content. 👊

Felt pain on the right side of my lower back when I pulled my first rep on my first working set on conventional deadlift and now my right side of my lower back hurts when I bend over or just from sitting. What should I do?

When you squat do you feel your stretch reflex in your groin area (part of your adductors I think) or in your hamstrings? And how would you go about eliminating feeling a stretch reflex in your adductors and switching it to your hamstrings?

Jim Jones I feel it everywhere actually! This is a video I’ve been meaning to make! Tensioning in the squat should be evenly distributed everywhere! You may be over sitting back with tight adductors and lacking glute activation/external rotation. Might lack some bracing too which can cause over extension in the pelvis putting a stretch on the adductors. The stretch reflex isn’t something you can feel, more so the lengthening (eccentric) is what you’re feeling and that causes the stretch reflex. And that should be happening in the quads, hams, glutes, etc

Lohe221 thanks man! Since 2012! I was a natural puller though. Hit 405 after trying deadlifts for the first time lol. Mind you I had trained for a year, just never did deadlifts

Does Kristin have inactive left glute med.so her hip flexors and back and adductors compensate? Or is this wrong?

@BrendanTietz

Google Korisnik it’s a bit deeper than that but yes along those lines. Essentially that left hip wont load at all and it’s stemmed from her pelvic position being off and causing some tensioning issues. I’ll explain more in depth soon!

Brendan Tietz so by her hip (I hope) you mean glut.medius, but what is weird to me is why did you gave her do hip thrusts, I didnt quite understand that part, well mostly because you say her hip which is a lot of things, but could glute max be a cause for hip rotation problem? even though its main thing is extension

@ivan0799

Brendan Tietz today I found something which I would greatly appreciate if you would answe/confirm this as I cant find many things on google for it, but could a hip shift be caused by a tight hamstring?(no matter if its the muscle or something else fault) That means that my left knee goes to the side because it doesnt wanna stretch the left hamstring and my right knee wont go out so there can be stability. I also found when lowering my self for sumo(tried it out couple months ago) that my left knee goes out so the hamstring doesnt stretch and my right stays in.. I would greatly appreciate your answer as this might actually be my solution I just need that confirmation so I may stop going nuts *_*

DELET THIS

You know muscles don't just "shut off" during a lift, right? Also, foam rolling, stretching, and glute activation is a waste of time.

Casey Fenton yo man so let me see if i can politely change your perspective and give you my view on this. If not then at least we can agree to disagree. Now no ones saying they just stop working when maneuvering a joint through a range of motion. That would be impossible. However dysfunctional movement that stems from tightness or issues in loading are obviously real. For instance in the previous video as well as this we can see two times where Kristin just COULDNT move correctly. We tried endlessly at iron club and when we got back from the trip to just cue her. We never just jump straight to the foam roller. Her left hip just won’t properly externally rotate. A girl deadlifting 3x bodyweight surely knows the basic cues to externally rotate. Even when we had her utilize straps the next day and cues this in a tempo that side refused to open up. So from there we utilized some of the modalities mentioned to improve her ROM at the joint and to get her into better positions that she just couldn’t move in. We also used movement based drills. This led to improved position with no pain. So I’m curious how would we see this as a waste of time? I think that people haven’t fully understood the literature on release techniques. The best meta analysis on it actually had 7/10 papers showing a significant improvement in ROM when utilized. A 70% effective rate in a meta analysis is huge. Now one could argue there are other modalities better suited for the job and I often agree! Most of my clients I’m focused on movement based drills first. But we already tried that in this scenario with no avail :/ I just want to politely challenge this idea because I think maybe other sources have said this and that’s their take but I have a very different experience as do many high level PTs. Now I’d very much encourage a polite reply so we can get some dialogue going. However if we can’t be open minded then maybe it’s best not to. Hope to hear from you man!
