You guys should do a video on how to measure your body to determine what type of squat (legs past shoulder, narrow..etc), deadlift, sumo or conventional, bench wider, regular, or narrow grip) you should be good at. Long arms short torso, long femurs long torso, short torso long legs, everything close to equal, etc... I think a lot of people would benefit from it. Just a suggestion and thank you
Exactly. It's not just limb lengths that matter, the orientation of your joints, the flexibility and mobility of various muscles, etc. also matter a lot.
It kinda seems like you guys are pumping out a lot of content to satisfy the algorithm and I appreciate the hustle. Also the video is really informative!
I credit deficits for my last years increased deadlift. One thing I’ve noticed that it has helped with is teaching me how to grind out of a disadvantageous position. That way, when I deadlift regular, I am able to push past my weak link areas because I’ve trained to be able to grind out of those through a deficit. I do agree that it has it’s learning curve, but any movement can help if it’s learned properly.
You guys should do a video on grip training specifically for training, 1RM double overhand , fat bar, double plate pinch grip etc, and how to implement effectively into training.
My problem is definitely getting it moving off the floor. Once it gets to just below the knees, then it goes. Knees to lock out isn't a problem. I might add bands to the deficts, help get some snap off the floor.
I'm sad to see my "more fleshlight sniffing content" suggestion on yesterday's wasn't adopted yet. Even though my disappointment is insurmountable, this was still an awesome video🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
these technique videos with Sam are invaluable! I lear so much every time. Thank you very much elitefts, thank you very much Sam. I really appreciate this
I get it about taking slack out of the bar on rack pulls but you also need to keep in mind if you aren't loading the bar heavy enough then slack in the bar is not an issue at all. How much weight is actually needed to get any whip out of the bar to make it an issue. If the weight on bar is too light to get any whip then it doesn't matter.
I feel even with my relatively light deadlifts that it feels smoother to hit the inside of the "plate hole"(whats it called?) before really pulling. Might just be psychological though
@@TheJipino The slack between the plate and sleeve doesn't matter much. That space is gone on rack pulls obviously and you can pull up on the bar to get rid of on blocks but I'm talking about bar whip mostly, the 1mm gap from plate to sleeve doesn't really matter at all but bar whip would be the main difference for these two types of lifts.
@@Steve-ev4xu for most beginners the bar click is a massive deal. Hell, I lost my technique last year and wasn’t pulling the slack out of the bar at all. Still pulled ok numbers. I’m hesitant to ignore cues when they can be useful.
You know that you guys are saints right? I live in Greece, theres not much knowledge around, I got a degree as a personal trainer where I learnt the basic stuff and anatomy and biology ,but the things I ve learnt about training from elitefts, from Dave Tate, from mountaindog(rip) are INVALUABLE . Thank you.
I use it during hypertrophy where specificity isn't as important as during strength and peaking. I keep it around a rpe 7-8. However if you're issue isn't power off the floor making a longer ROM might not be beneficial. Find your weak spot and program around that.
@@Martin.24_ for deadlift I usually stick to sets of 5. Since it's a variation I keep my sets similar to what I do for my comp deadlift. Usually a top set with a few backoffs.
I’m gonna assume there’s a direct carryover for sumo pulls, for the same weaker areas...? I’m assuming I’m correct because that’s what I’ve been doing for the same reasons Sam mentions, and my pulls are getting better.
That's terrible form on that deficit pull. Deadlifts were never meant to be squats. If your leverages dictate that you have to squat down, then you are probably better off just doing stiff-legged deadlifts with lighter weight.
Those chrome Eleikos are sweet.
agreed. looks amazing
I've only seen chrome eleiko micro plates before
Totally. Insanely sleek

I honestly think this is impossible you would also have to know how your joints are build and how they look «inside» and you cant domthat

The Rocky poster Trumps the Arnold picture. Good video. That guy demoing the deadlifts is READY!

Heard Dave mention this in one of the table talks..glad we’re getting a video on it

Great info. I am putting the deficit in my Max Effort today on the strength of this video and your advice.

I see Sam Brown, I hit the like button. Great content as usual. Thanks a ton.🙏
I think if ya miss at lock out, max effort on block pulls, deficit pulls on speed day
I’d assume vice versa if you miss off the floor
I like doing pause deadlifts for that sticking point.
How would one Program the Deficit Deadlift as an Assistance Movement for Rep work? And Percentage of 1RM??

@@bmstylee My issue usually is off the floor. I usually go by Percentage based Programing instead of RPE, what would that be in Percentages??
@@Martin.24_ probably somewhere 85-90 is a good guess.
@@bmstylee And Rep Range along with Rest between sets??

kudos to Sam. learned a lot from you.
Great video! Sam was a great addition to the team. Also super cool you made the website more mobile friendly.
I have been doing deficits incorrectly for to long….😅 Thanks for the info!

What about for sumo?
What weight and amount of reps should you do for block and deficit lifts. Heavy or start light ?
@elitefts oh ok
Start st Ronnie Coleman than increase each set.
Is block pulls a back exercise?
Is this the next generation of Elite FTS representatives
My current max is 585 and i noticed that my hips are shifting side to side just before lockout. My knees also move back and forth.
You sound almost exactly like Bill Burr.
What about sumo deadlift? Let's see a segment reviewing that...thnx
🤠 hey there 😂 Sam keeping it real

Thanks Gage! We like him too!
