This is the single best deadlifting form video I've ever seen. Moving the hips higher made it so much more comfortable. Saving this forever and sharing with everyone! Thank you!

if you want even more in depth than this. look up david woolson. 400kg raw deadlift shows the magic of deadliftin. lots of videos. 20 whole damn minutes with one cue at a time!! insane!!!

I’m not even kidding, I’ve learned more off this video than every single gym coach I’ve met in my life. Coming from an aspiring powerlifter in India with love

I was one of the lifters you gave deadlift tips to. Thanks again! The seminar was incredibly insightful. If anyone else has the chance to go to one, do it, it's well worth it! The only thing you were wrong about is that the revised technique would feel awkward for a bit. It felt better immediately and I ended up pulling a PR of 495 later that afternoon!

I freakin love that you're out there doing these types of videos. It is so awesome to see someone at the top/pinnacle of strength taking the time to explain to real people in real locations how to be the very best version of themselves. Please keep putting out content like this so those of us out there that do train others can have excellent content to share that provides the visual aspect of it all. You rock bro!!!

I put this to practice today at the gym, and my lift instantly shot up by 25 lbs, which probably doesn't seem like a lot, but it felt a ton better, and I broke 300 lbs today as working weight for the first time in my life. I am loving all of this content on efficiency of movement, and how to approach these lifts.

I hurt myself from deadlifts over a year back and been reluctant to get back into them. This makes me wanna try it again and make some tweaks to my form. Thanks!

I’m working on my deadlift and this video could not have come at a better time- thanks Mitch, most educational deadlift video I’ve seen.

absolute gold, cheers boss

Your deadlifting advice completely changed the deadlift for me. The movement feels much safer than it had before. I definitely feel more posterior chain activation from the jump. Thanks for sharing such great advice.

Man I wish I had you around when I was lifting just to help correct me like this. Amazing work! So much great information in every video you make.

This is Gold.

Amazing tutorial. Thanks for the tips!

Great video, really well done. You've pretty much nailed why hip and knee position is important, it's the exact same way I coach clients. A little thing, the lats originate from the spine and then insert on the inside of the upper arm. Thanks again for the content.

Big fan from Australia Mitch!! I love how you've retained a few bits and pieces of Aussie lingo - "give it a crack!" Deadlift day tomorrow and this was pure gold!

This is huge. It’s showing how to correct your form with whatever body type you may have. It’s not just the “do this blanket technique.”

Fantastic video!!! Thanks Mitch!

One of the most useful videos on deadlifting that I’ve seen!

Really good video. I always struggled with Deadlifts and feel like a puny man. Will have to watch more of your videos. Thank you.

The most humble and engaging world strongest man ,wish you all the best champ.

One of your earlier deadlift videos discussed some of the same points, and I'm happy to report that they really worked well for me. Weight comes off the floor much easier now. Pay attention everyone, you might learn something valuable.

Great tutorial for deadlifting. I'm going to have to rewatch and then deadlift and try to adjust my technique.

Great video Mitchell love the advice. Why has everyone online been telling me to have a “big chest” while deadlifting all these years?! I immediately at desk tried rounding my shoulders and felt better lat activation and more stability. Now I can’t wait to deadlift tomorrow! Thanks!

the shoulder positioning tip is a really easy way to address hip height, knee position, and bar position at the same time I hadn't thought about before, def using this.

Stuck on 170 atm going to 180 thanks for the tips 👍

It takes a lot of knowledge and courage to teach a group like this. Its hard for peolple to open up when you are critiquing them too.

This is very helpful, thank you! My knees get in my way and i think i over-pull backwards at the top 😅.

Oh how I envy all these people getting coached by Mitch! Awesome video!

This guy should get more subscribers.I’ve learnt new technique for a deadlift

Sitting to drink a coffee before my biggest deadlift session in a long time. Perfect video for it

Coach, does rotating the shoulders forward contradict the que 'bend the bar' on the shins? Or can you do both? Thanks in advance.

I stopped doing full motion deadlifts due to some pain in the bottom right of my back when starting from the floor. This video has me tempted to try full motion again with teaks to my form. I am definitely guilty of putting knees way over the bar and then the bar getting away from my body around the knees, like in this video. Brilliant video, thank you!!

‘I’m just so darn tall’ would launch one thousands ships for this woman

Have been rounding my shoulders from day 1 Always felt like the output would be more maximized Not necessarily in the say you said it but it always felt way tighter that way so i just stuck to doing that And as long as youre bracing your core as tight as possible (which your supposed to do) youre back shouldnt expierence a difference in wear and tear Its actually very natural to have some kind of rounding in the back even with load

Mirch i had to point out that i have the same Puma socks than you AND amazing tips, i'm a beginner deadlifting 275lbs at 140lbs body weight, i sure will get my experience of the lift wayyyy better

I covered both squats and bench press in this seminar. The videos will be released to our members over the coming weeks if you want to check them out 💪

Hey hooper, I'm wanting to train for strongman, I have had scoliosis spinal fusion 9 years ago. I've been training for around 4 years 2 years serious. Do you think with the spinal fusion I am good 👍 people always talk about the compression but in my mind our body adapts to the stress as long as with have good form you'll be pretty okay. Would you agree? What's your opinion thank you

Mitchell, the Latissimus Dorsi’s origin is along the spine, and insertion is on the humorous; otherwise, great instructions about foot placement, angle of the spine, shoulder position, etc.

Remarkably similar to Pete Rubish's form vids. Awesome stuff.

This is gold. I'd love to see one for the squat too.

I had to stop watching just to comment because the explanation about lat origin and insertion somehow clicked with me and I tried rounding my shoulders forward and then locking down. I immediately felt my lats were locked tighter than the traditional back and down. Going to try this during my deadlift workout today. Thank you Sir!

This was well timed. Im just trying to get back into deadlifting after a couple of years of not doing it. Was very upset at just how bad I am now. I've lost ~25% off my 1rm. This is a good refresher on technique. As someone with long femurs, I appreciate you showing a variety of people, and different ways to fix their form.

Really love this video! I switched to a trap bar for deadlifts to avoid the lower back pain I was getting with a straight bar, going to switch back and give these tips a try. Appreciate you!

Today I got my barbell and plates, did my first deadlift attempts ever (raw 70, 90, 110, 140kg for 5 reps each, there is more in the tank, but I want to have a decent technique first), and now I am checking how to improve my posture.

Hey mate, loved this video. I've always tried to keep my chin kind of tucked-in throughout the full range of DL motion - my 'thinking' being that it helped stabilise my C-Spine. What do you think about this idea? I see many people who basically can look at themselves in the mirror for the duration of the DL (if you saw my face deadlifting, you'd understand why this is an issue for me) 🤣

I'm 61 and have sciatica brought on by ( i think) poor deadlifting technique. I really hope that I can go back to deadlifting after having viewed this video. Brilliant presentation, very well demonstrated

amazing vid

I think straight back and feet shoulder width or a bit more in looks the best aesthetically tho

Love to see it.

I naturally used to have my hips higher as I found there was a certain lower point where I had zero strength, there was like a small window where nothing happened and it hindered my whole lift. After constantly having my form corrected by people, I just did what worked best for me

These tips for my long femur friends are *golden* Mitch

deff. interesting comparing your deadlifting with eddie halls "step-by-step" (of course at that point it's becoming a preference lol) One thing i noticed with john hacck is he seems to pull with about an extra inch or 2 of room, no denying the guys accomplishments but comparing to what you, shaw, and eddie do to john hacck , theirs definitely noticeable differences

should the shoulder be behind, on top of or in front of the bar

Today I started deadlifts again after a five year hiatus. This video is perfectly timed. I officially suck at deadlifts 😂

Amazing, get after it 💪

1:33 I think you got the lat origin and insertions in reverse.

Everything you’re calling out, I’m guilty of! I pull up and around my knees instead of touching them. I do it because I don’t like the feeling across the knees. Maybe knee sleeves are in order?

I have seen one of your older videos and you were advising to put feet closer together and look at your heels if deadlift is the hardest off the floor. Does that still apply, because in this video you generally advise more shoulder width stance. The closer stance really works well for me, should I start changing it back to shoulder width?

this tip about rotating your shoulders forward and using your lats might just change my life.

What do you do if your hips raise at the start of a deadlift?

Long femur person here. Good tips. I've been working on form for some time, taking queues from Mitch. I've added over 100lbs to my deadlift over the last year after it being stagnant for about a year prior. My long legs make pulling off of the floor the sticking point, and now I feel far more power on the initial pull instead of wasting power trying to work around my knees.

@mitchellhooperstrongman Tips for patterning and learning how to “fall back” during the pull? Doesn’t always get addressed beyond stating we need to lever against the bar. Seems like the best pullers do it inherently. Thanks!

@atrumpetwillsound

3 ай бұрын

you just lean back. the thing is it's not a technique newbies can use because there just isn't enough weight on the bar to hold you, but once you start getting above bodyweight, you can lean back without fear of actually falling back

@SOC-ir6im

3 ай бұрын

Personally I would leverage up away for the bar and not back. When taking the slack out of the bar let the bar pull your shoulders forward as your pulling your body up this will also slightly round your back and give you shortest moment arm/decreased range of motion. Should also help set your hips exactly where they should be.
