Deadlift stance is extremely individual. I’m glad you made this video to widen the perspective of newer lifters because most of them seem to assume that everyone does every lift exactly the same.
Hi All, this method worked for me! Better starting position and added 22lb (10Kg) to my Deadlift. From 170 kg to 180 kg, very happy for a 59 yea old. Thanks for the great advice.
I'm 66, 150 lbs, just started deadlifting 6 months ago . I've been stuck at 233 lbs for the last month. I've seen just about every video on deadlifting. You are the only one who's talked about reducing the hip moment arm by narrowing the stance and bowing the legs. I tried it today for the first time and hit 255 lbs for the first time. Not only that, but I felt strong doing it, and envision future gains using your method. Thanks for sharing this!
@thespiritbomb depends on what program he was using and what is he going to use, and what diet he used and he will and what form, if he attaned 605 with bad program or skipping a lot of sessions, bad diet and bad form and he now does everything perfect I would say it os possible in one year, but he has to had sucked at diet programming and form and I dont think thats the case, he also has to now do everything perfect. So to sum up... It depends
Hey Brett have you ever considered doing a meet and greet type of thing? I’ve been a follower for 4-5 years from New England but now I’m living in Oklahoma and would love to get the chance to meet you. Keep up the great content!
What is it about the starting strength community that just breaks it down so well and I understand fully what he means the first time. Most other youtube channels I just end up confused or have to watch like 5 times to understand. The methods work and it shows. 605, that is awesome.
@@ReynoldsStrong1 I appreciate that man! Been training hard and am continuing to progress. I'm impatient so in my head i've been training awhile but to be honest its only been 6 mos. From starting at 85 lbs and almost to 300 lbs in 6 mos on my DL i guess i can't complain lol
Take your time, and let your tendons adapt. Muscle adapts much faster than tendons due to the larger blood supply. Remember to lift with longevity in mind.
You havent made a video in a while. At first you wont get the views you use too and it might bum you out. But if you keep consistency and always keep your head up youll come back to your glory age and maybe even better. Dont stop brett. We love you
Eat food. More than you think you need. Then, train big lifts, and outside of that, limit physical activity. Add weight to the bar, be safe. Good food. Real food.
Brett, Brotha, I've been following you since 2009. Man, you have come such a long way. I am happy to see this and to get a notification of a video on UA-cam and pinterest. I don't do any of the social accounts. Thank you for this video, and the website and all the helpful content. As always, stay manly! - Bryan
I know Im bit late but Thanks for this video, I picked up few things as pre-loading of the bar and made my stance bit narrower. I also pointed my toes out a bit and now my deadlift feels more solid (at least with working sets). Looking forward to try it on my next pr attempt.
Okay, this literally FIXED my deadlift. We're talking night and day difference... Turns out us lanky lads have a pretty mean pull when we figure out how to get our legs out of the way of the bar... THANK YOU!!!
Excellent video as always, Brother! Please keep videos like these and your older ones coming, as they are informative, interesting, and entertaining. Meanwhile, keep up the great work with AOM!
Very intelligent video. I've always used a fairly "narrow" stance, but nowhere near this level. My current deadlift max is 435 LBs, hoping to shoot it up, might try this after I hit 500 lbs.
This is an awesome video. I had started deadlifting like this about a year ago since it feels comfortable to me. Definitely would recommend it to experience lifters.
Hey late to the video here but just wanted to say keep up the great work. I've been a reader since you first started, really can't thank you enough for all the great articles over the years.
@@Andrew-vt2wq 605 lbs is not 500 kg which is 1100 lbs. Dude you alright? There's lots of strong people out there deadlifting triple or quadruple body weight.
The coach in the video recommends this form if you're _competitively_ lifting, if you're just trying to get "generally strong" it's probably a bad idea. But to know for sure I'd recommend some kind of in-person coach who can either help you adopt the form or explain why it wouldn't be necessary at this time. I just don't want you to get hurt is all
@@kirkendauhl6990 cheers mate, I'm not going to start deadlifting with the feet close together form the whole time, I just meant that it will be interesting to try it once I get a bit stronger, to see if the decreased ROM does help with heavy pulls. Don't worry I'd build up to it, not gonna just try and yank 450 of the ground with a form I haven't first mastered 👍🏻
Joey Szatmary explained the closer feet in a recent video as well. Uses less back, and more leg drive when you bring your feet closer, and knees wider. I started training my deadlift for the first time about a month ago. I'm at a 500lbs deadlift for one rep currently. When my feet were wider, my lower back was fried for a week at a time between lifts. With closer feet, my back is less strained and I can train more often. Definitely look into mimicking this stance if you're training more often than once a week/every other week. Your CNS will be fine.
@@craigcrawford6749 I'm 255lbs. I have a 340lbs bench, and 600lbs squat. Didn't need to directly train it, never have prior to this. It just came with everything else lol. Hoping to have a 600lbs deadlift by the end of 2019.
Very nice video guys. Great information. I was just doing my squats and dead’s yesterday :) I love his home gym. Ive been putting some serious thought into getting my own. I think I could build one for under 4K. My public gym is way too small with no designated dead lifting area and only 2 squat racks. When its busy, I don’t bother going until 8pm which is a drag.
hey man, I just used the same stance, or very similar, yesterday. works like a charm. really interesting. Would love to see a vid about how you program your training these days. And as it is roughly 2 years since you made that video: did you pull 700 yet?
It's like seeing that dude from school who was always cool but who you had forgotten about
HT haha. I remember that dude. Cool and also a nice dude.
it seems like a lot of people estranged from their former acquaintances peruse youtube
WE LOVE BRETT! Congrats on your 605 deadlift!

Art of Manliness: Releases new video.

It from the titanic movie
It true
What I love about this video, it explains what a lot of people don’t understand, the difference between a exercise and a feat of strength.

Your back!!!! 💪🏼❤️
Edit: you put on 40lbs??? How!? Make a video on muscle mass gain!! 💪🏼
I believe he did it with Matt's coaching, eating a LOT more, and eating better food. The SSOC guys helped him with his diet.
Yeah, he definitely didn’t just put on 40lbs of muscle. He has obviously gotten fatter than he used to be.
@Someone Thirsty What are you talking about? He doesn't look fatter at all. He even said he's dropped 2 inches off his waist.
@@JakeLovesSteak wrong tag there

Good food. Real food.
This technique works so well! I feel the bar move much smoother and can make my reps complete , from bottom to the top.
Just looking at this guy I would have never attributed those numbers to him.
It's largely because he isn't on shit loads of drugs unlike 95% of lifters on youtube.
Curious about his nutrition and routine
Great video!
yoooo alpha!! big fan here
alpha m. Love you alpha
Thanks Aaron!
Hi alpha
Been listening to the AOM podcasts for a long time but it’s great to see you back on UA-cam .
Yay! Happy to have a video from you again. We always are here for you, even if you don't want to make videos.

Thank you. That "weird" stance saves a couple of centimeter, but what a difference that makes.

605lb. pull is pretty damn impressive. good job
Thank god a new vídeo
Waited forever for a video from you!
Awesome video!!! If sumo grip was legal, what would that change?
Ahhh, 😌AoM videos, the best kind of videos.
Two years ago was the prediction of a 700lb deadlift in two years … lessssggggooooo Brett!
I start this narrow stanc for 2 weeks before i saw this video and never feelt så strong!. For me it work awesome
I decided to narrow my stance and it felt more natural. Plus I hit a PR with the stance adjustments.
no way! after 104 more or less podcasts, an actually video?!?!
Brett: So glad you're doing UA-cam again.
Seeing this on my newsfeed made my day
Matt is a great coach
I've never seen anyone super strong Powerlifters Deadlift with their feet that close!
Finalllly you came back
Solid information. I miss some words about breathing an bracing though. When do i breath, when shall i brace?
