It would be interesting to see a video comparing a top-down set-up VS a bottom-up set-up. For instance, I like using a top-down set-up, but if I'm doing more than 1 rep I struggle to find the right cues after the 1st one (since I don't reset every time, but I keep gripping the bar for the rest of the set). Hope I wasn't too confusing 😅
Hi from Tokyo, Japan. David, great cues! I watched this video again and again. Can you also make sumo deadlift video for a short arms/short legs lifter? How to adjust better? Thanks!
i can sort of grasp the shoulders on top of the legs cue, but for the most part unless you're a sumo puller its hard to translate all of your tips to conventional style pulling...maybe next video??? :) thanks a ton for all the great content
@@BrazosValleyBarbell I think its about feel that position and cues rather than strenght. And hip mobility ofc, u cannot "pull the bar into you properly" if u have shitty mobility
Does shin contact matter on sumo just before the pull? When I pull conventional I do, but on sumo I can't seem to figure out the right distance between bar and my shins to avoid losing position or maintain consistency across reps. Do you use any cues to set yourself with the optimal distance between bar and shins?
Great content as always! One question I have is that when you focus on not tensioning a 100% the upper back does that mean that you do not focus on scapulae depression? I feel that helps a ton with back tightness. Thank you!
I'd like to see a video on stance width for sumo (pros/ cons) of wide vs narrow, and how to find what works best
Can u do an analysis on yurys deadlift?
Really dont understand how he makes his pulls look so efficient as if there is 0 power leak
Highly efficient slack pull and wedge. Strong core to tie everything together!!
David thank you so much its one of the best explained videos on this topic I've seen.
Best explanation I’ve seen. Thank you so much

Has been quite useful

I think Clarence Kennedy filmed a video in this same gym, few years back.
New carpet on the platforms? Never seen that before
Solid video
would like to see a video about bring elbows below the bar on squats if you havent done one yet

Maybe you can say a word about to get in position of the pelvis in the sumo deadlift?
How to cue knees forward thanks
What do you have 2 separate UA-cam channels for powerlifting? Can you clarify please.

What cue or fix would you recommend for a lifter that has a problem with the bar drifting out in front of them during a pull?
Wondering about your feet moving so much when you reset.
