    • @hygieiastrength
      @hygieiastrength Місяць тому

      I would recommend that you record yourself when you are doing it. If your balance goes too far back when you "lean back", then your body will swing forward again right when the bar leaves the floor. This might cause the bar to swing away from your shins. If that's the case, then you should triage the problem by starting with your shoulder blade on top of the bar (which means that your arms will be at a slight angle).

    Thanks for the video. I still would put a Dont try this at home disclaimer. Squat is a movement for heavy weights. No matter how strong you are, there are moments things are going to slip out of control. if you dont have space for a full squat rack try to find two separate squat rack legs. they are way easier to place somewhere in your house than a full squat rack. i found two for a total of 150 euros even in Albania. So, squat safe!

    • @hygieiastrength
      @hygieiastrength Місяць тому

      Thank you for your comment! According to your anthropometry, there should be a starting position that is the most efficient for you. That could prevent the hip from rising up. We noticed that many people try to replicate techniques based on certain diagnostic angles (back angle, etc.) or other lifters and forget that they might not apply to them.

    • @konyecstrength4life
      @konyecstrength4life Місяць тому

      ⁠@@hygieiastrengthThere is an optimal position that prevents my hips lifting. However at that point my legs are almost straight. Think Pendlay row starting position but it’s meant to be deadlift. In that position i am too over the bar. For my shoulders to be just over the bar, mid foot then my torso is more upright but then hips are forced down to compensate. The hamstrings are not loaded or engaged enough in that position therefore if it is a significant weight then i cannot get it moving without hips rising and engaging hamstrings and glutes more & then back. I think i have relatively long femurs which may be disadvantageous.

  • @springhillfitness6837
    @springhillfitness6837 4 місяці тому

    Ideally you want to get the bar in the crease of the hips for the best leverage to apply max force to the bar. Bending the arms to get the bar into that ideal position provides a trade off between improved leverage and power leakage through the arms. Whether the trade off is worth it depends on the strengths and weaknesses of the lifter. Clearly it works for some of the elites.

  • @mateuszjabonski8323
    @mateuszjabonski8323 4 місяці тому

    Nice material! I had some powerlifting practice and would also say that if you start the deadlift with the arms bend - you waste energy to keep it this way. Thus the biceps injuries in the deadlift. I belive that the deadlift is to some extent a base to weightlifting and therefore this principle should also be applied. Lift with your arms straght

  • @Gusativo
    @Gusativo 4 місяці тому

    Without objective measuring all we can do is speculate. Arguably, there is a trade-off to be won from arm-bending as a taller/lankier lifter. You may lose some acceleration off the floor, but may gain better leverages that enable a more powerful triple extension (i.e., hip clean vs. tight clean). Whether this trade off is better for a specific person is a matter of testing and seeing what brings better results. Most coaches I follow seem to agree that a slight bend is more than fine in most cases.

    Using professional weightlifter to support your claim assumes they have perfect technique. They don't. Rip isn't right very often, but early arm bend in the lifts is wrong. Arms should bend after extension

    • @hygieiastrength
      @hygieiastrength 5 місяців тому

      @carlolaput2597-When you analyze how all the heavy pulls were lifted off the floor, you will see that they were pulled from the slightly higher hip position. Try to watch other videos in slow motion, and you will see the same pattern. Now, the world's best lifters are there for a reason - they are very, very strong. The stronger you are, the more margin of error you can have due to your sheer strength. Imagine yourself lifting an empty 20kg bar. I'm sure you can lift it however you want. Of course, at the heavier weight, even the world's best can't get away with big form errors. On the other hand, we can't immediately assume that whatever they are doing is also perfect. As average people, our margin of error is smaller, as our physical limits are also smaller than those of top athletes. So it's our best interest to get our form as efficient as possible.

    @googlefaps5883 6 місяців тому

    While I don’t disagree with ur general point. There are specific things I disagree with and/or would like to introduce nuance. I would like to point out that I am not using the clips presented, unless said so directly, as evidence of any of my arguments. 1) ur understanding of the clean is fundamentally wrong. This is even more apparent seeing ur technique. The starting position of a clean is a mixture of a deadlift and squat. The bar should not be mid-foot, it should be closer to the balls of the foot. It is not the same movement mechanics and follows it’s own rules. In fact oly lifters have their own deadlift variation called clean deadlift. It is like a deadlift but the starting position is different. It is inherently more quad biased and any error is due to a quad weakness (form breakdown usually accompanied by max weights). It may or may not be a big worry. Or a technical error learning which is problematic. I’ll mention this again later. However the idea of not letting the angle of the torso lower is correct. 2) a lot of the “hips rising and shoulders falling” isn’t always due to an error. A lot of lifters start very low and then lift it up. They only ACTUALLY initiate the pull once their hips get into position before the bar actually comes off the ground. This gives the illusion of improper movement mechanics however it isn’t. This is typically due to preference (dynamic start) or to build up tension (pull the slack.) 3)if u have very strong quads relative or just a bizarre anatomy having more knee action can help give more leg drive. Ur hamstrings can only have good leverage to pull once ur knees are in a fixed and extended position, (shins are usually near vertical, the knee no longer rises or extends rather the hips shoot through) if ur shins are vertical too low in the lift it can have the hamstrings in a more stretched position and this a weaker position potentially. Ur anthropometry might even slightly effect this. However this case is typically rare. But once the knee action is done, Yes there will be the shoulders dropping and the hips rising, but this, especially for people with relatively weaker hamstrings allows the hamstring and glutes to fire in a less flexed position. This is why rack pulls are easier when u upright ur torso and flex the knees more and why a stiff legged deadlift is harder. The hips don’t rise but the hamstring are stretched in a weak position. Added knee bend if u know what ur doing might add some hips rising but could, if u know urself, help u. If u have less knee bend that only means ur gonna have ur hamstrings initiate lower, and more stretched, which for most people isn’t a problem unless it’s too far like a stiff legged. Again the degree of it will be individualised. 4)at some point the weight will be so heavy that most people have their knees extend quick (due to weak quads or just in general a maximal load) and the load shifts as quickly as possible to the posterior. This is inevitable. It’s the same in the squat, it isn’t something that needs to be “corrected” or “avoided” but rather ur body adjusting. This may or may not make u be able to get the lift through. It depends on ur control and weaknesses. In terms of what I agree with. Yes. The standard should be mid foot on the bar for deadlifts. Not cleans. A vertical line is generally the best rule not necessarily as much for cleans. And that if ur hips excessively rise there is likely a chance ur quads are weak, or ur technique is bad. Another thing I’m not sure if it was mentioned is pulling the slack out of the bar. If u aren’t pulling the slack out of the bar the hips could rise too quickly as u initiate the pull, throwing u off in a bad position. Conversely, as I mentioned before some athletes pull the slack out but they don’t initiate the pull so it gives the illusion of the torso further lowering when really they were getting into position before they actually started pulling. Things change depending on ur approach to the lift.
