I like how throughout the warm up, he acts exactly as if he was lifting really heavy : same form, same intention, same discipline. Just look at him sweat and breathing after a few reps @60kg / 135lb, just by generating so much tension 👍🏼

Wise. Keeps things safe, injuries can happen at any weight, always treat the bar the same.

Exactly. Respect the weights no matter what. Once you disrespect it you will get hurt

You can really get a lot of work done training neuromuscular recruitment patterns if you perform your warm up sets exactly like your heavy sets. That ends up being half of your volume on heavy days.

And the hips being halfway between elbows and shoulders, game changer for me

The Squat,RDL, RDL, squat cue is such a game changer I can't possibly exaggerate it. I had watched countless YT videos posted for videos and still was having back issues deadlifting and it just never felt right even when it didn't hurt. I was ready to give up on deadlifting and then this vid was that final piece that got me there.

Yos. That why I came here.

Martin's is awesome. I've been following his KZread channel since he created it with Romark. He's very knowledgeable about anatomy and proper form. And he's a silly guy which I appreciate because I am too. Seeing the two of you together is awesome.

On Eccentric: Initiate by pushing hips back. Don’t shift knees forward till the bar crosses the patella. Then let the knees move forward so that the back’s angle with the ground stays the same as you descend all the way down and place the bar on the floor. Descend the bar under control as if you’re placing it on eggshells. Keep the back tight during the descent. On Concentric: The opposite. Keep the angle between the back and the ground the same until the bar is just below the patella and then straighten the back. The concentric is not entirely a pulling motion. You push the ground first with your legs, and then pull with your back. Before you lift, create lat tension by trying to break the bar. This is essential so that you don’t round-unround your back or sag-unsag your shoulders to move the bar downward or upward respectively. Setup: When you bend to pick up the bar, the crease of your hip should be halfway between the height of the shoulder and the knees. Shoulders should be above the bar and midfoot.

Love hearing Matins pant in high quality. Makes me feel better about my conditioning 🤘MARTINS

No doubt, you have one of the best and most informative no BS channels about strength training. Great job!

Dude you are a lifesavor! Especially appreciate your active stretching routines 💪👍

2 years later and I'm a new viewer to the vid. Great advice and tips, thank you so much you guys for the effort making videos and putting out this info. Much love and gainz for the new year!

Just perfect video, thank you! The information about splitting of deadlift to 2 parts was crucial for me! First squat and then RDL. Thanks again :)

It’s great how both of you are sharing your knowledge about deadlifts 👌🏾💪

Been waiting for this one! Thanks to the both of yous for quality content as usual.

Thank you so much for showing me proper form!! I just started working out and have been adding new things, but trying this seemed scary as I could damage my body. Now I can feel confident to add this into my workouts!! :)

This might be the best deadlift tutorial I have seen. The way Martins broke down the deadlift was great.

Love this tutorial! Hadn't ever considered the role of the lats in deadlifts. Mostly focused on flat lower back. I'm going to be much more intentional going forward.

It might be time to rename/ rebrand yourself as “Lift University” because you have all the lifts covered !!

Deadlift is a constantly evolving lift. I thought I got it on lock but I learned a couple of new things with this video

Awesome video, exactly what I wanna see. I found this channel last year because martins highly suggested it, cool to see you guys collab.

Great tutorial guys, thanks for making this! I had been stuck for awhile on my deads and it was all related to poor technique. I changed my technique based on this video and have had some great improvements in strength!! Can’t thank you enough for this!!!

Very helpful! Thanks! As a 46 year old woman, I just started lifting weights on mid July. I know form is very important for progression and safety. I'm lifting 155lbs now but I hope to be increasing weight next week.

Thank you for this. Its exactly what I've needed for some time now 🤘

awesome video, perfect mix between science and practice. you guys are killing it

Martins, that remark about RDL + squat is really helpful. Thanks guys!

Licis is such an amazing strength athlete. Love watching him.

Martins! Is everywhere! Continued healing and strength!!

I NEEDED this today. Thank you!!!

Holy shit. He explained “squat, rdl, rdl, squat” legit just changed my life.

Thanks for your info you're one of my favorites backed up with anatomy

Best tutorial ive found, ive wanted to get lifting for a long time but trying to learn dL form has been tough.

Great video, appreciate the tip on "trying to bend the bar." Thanks for posting!

"The back angle refers to the angle of your back" A. Thrall

thanks for the awesome content! you rock, man!

This really is an excellent tutorial and has tidied my lifting up and pushed my weights up! Nice one, thank you.

Pushing the feet into the ground. Thank you for this information ! People must realize that the deadlift is like a legs press, a lunge... You must push with your legs to lift the weight.

Perfect ! thanks guys for this video..very informative and professional

One of the best tutorials on KZread!

Amazing video man! Thanks for the advice

The slow "side angle view" is very helpful! Thanks!!

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.

Great video for someone like me who's just getting into deadlifting. Been lifting for many years but not DL so I'm adding it to my leg day but I want to start out doing it with correct / safe form.

Learned something new! This is awesome and today’s DL. Going to practice lowering technique, learned from this.

Thanks guys, really helping the climb injury free.

excellent! Thanks for the detailed information!

Thank you so much for this!!

I think this is the best video about deadlifts I've ever watched.

Great video! Love your content Aaron

Very good advice, thank you. Keeping the core very stiff before the lift rather than during a random part during the lift.

Man Martins is so good at verbalising physical action. Definitely going to work on my eccentric dead lifts more and get absolute control before moving up weight.

Great cues. Makes me want to add an extra gym session today, just for deadlifts.

Awesome video in breaking down the deadlift!

Best Deadlift Tutorial Thank You ❤️☺️

The best exercise physiology channel - thanks!😁

Wow absolutely the best complete squat tutorial!

Breaking the Deadlift into a Rdl and squat has been the magic bullet that let everything click into place. Was struggling with the knee movement during the lift. This mental cues helped create the mental imagery of the entire process that I needed to lock in my movements.

Excellent content!!

Great tutorial, thank you very much 🙏🏾

Really enjoyed this tutorial.

I love his breathing technique! Beautifully done overall 👌👌

Im Speechless this is a squat and Deadlift University no doubt

Great video i think i will go double overhand from now on seems like you can get better lat engagement. I like the que trying bend the bar around you somthing you cant do with switch grip

Excellent explanation.

Awesome Video ! Thank you !

Awesome. Thanks super strong dude!

Thank you guys, alot of facts right there.

I watch weekly to get my form down. Ty so much.

Amazing video to progress the deadlift also Rumanian deadlift 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏽

Thanks Martins 💪🏼

This guy is so cool. He's also very very athletic in his strength in that he can perform exercises that are usually only the domain of lighter more flexible athletes like crossfitters etc. Such as one leg squats

Perfect advice bro 👌

Great vid as always. Quick tip, Aarons audio is in contrast (much lower) with Martins. Maybe adjust this?

Perhaps the single greatest deadlift tutorial in existence

great video guys. What is your opinion on grip and people mixed gripping the bar

Resourceful brothers and thanks. God bless

Great combo

Dude I was literally looking through your videos yesterday to see if you had anything on deadlifting. 🤣🤣 You read my mind lol

#SquatClub been needing to work on my deadlift for awhile now so this video had perfect timing to be released.

Yea, that last set, form is perfection. Came here specifically to see a tall guy do it. My hips are too high at the start. His cue of hips right at the midpoint between armpit and knee 👌🏽

Greatest deadlift video

Thanks !!

I would love to see a series about fixing injuries on the thoracic spine/back. Everyone has problems on the lower back but my thoracic spine is my problem and I cant find absolutely NOTHING about thoracic spine rehab :(

I lost concentration when he stared through my soul at 0:54 😍 what a beautiful beast

Having the bar leave the ground with light weights while building tension always makes me smile

two of the best people in fitness

Bending the bar back towards your shin to engage lats.... best f'n advice ever.

I don't deadlift but I found it really interesting how he breaks the lift into a squat and a hip hinge/thrust, since those are both moves I do with kettlebells (squats and swings).

Why are there dislikes? This is pure gold, thankyou

Breaking it down into an RDL & a squat makes it sooo much easier to grasp conceptually

Please keep the Sqaut. It's so majestic to see it while Sir Martins is explaining it.

great video any tips for a more efficient push of the floor, I tend to have a weight shift and my heals leave the floor

wonderful..very useful for me..
