    Hope you guys enjoyed it!! I rushed this one out so less editing but tbh UA-cam videos that are over edited are getting old lol. What happened to good old info and quality content? Instead of making some fancy intro and deadlift montage I figured jamming it packed full on useful content was better!
    Tons more coming to the channel!! I hired someone to help me with content which means less work which also means more videos coming!!

      Do you act like your trying to bend the bar around your legs?

    • @BrendanTietz
      @BrendanTietz  3 роки тому +4

      rotartlifnI no, some recommend that for lat activation but that’ll cause you to retract and pack the shoulders too much. Instead I just think bend the bar up and then drag it up. My upper back is like a crane and my legs push while I lean back and drag it up

      Do you have any mental cues for staying tight and not tipping forward when you do the slack pull? I tend to lose tightness and my slack pull when I lean back after I pull the slack as you noted in the video.

    This is a solid how to man, much appreciated. This is the missing link that I need to fix. I can pull the slack, but I literally lose it as soon as I wedge myself into the pull. Your how not to makes perfect sense because it is what I do every single time. Time to get back to work on this wedge with my sumo for sure.

    This is awesome content! I watched this very carefully and then I practiced it in my Week 1 Saturday session (my heaviest day, as I train Wednesday then rest for two days). Since I haven't directly trained conventional pulls for a while, I simply use the vanilla lift from the floor for this cycle. It started with a top set at 410 x 5 @ 6 and then 3 back-off fives at 370 @ 5.
    Practicing your slack pull technique during my warm-up singles had the barbell leaving the floor at 280 and everything felt very solid and smooth from the floor. Room for improvement, but I'll see how it goes over the next few weeks as the top set gets heavier. My target for Week 3 is 450 x 4 @ 7 (back-off sets at 410). Target for Week 5 = 495 x 3 @ 8-9 (back-off triples at 440).

  • @CSAVAS5988
    @CSAVAS5988 3 роки тому +1

    Amazing video! The best way to tell if you're doing this correctly too is to record yourself - the bend you put on the bar as your hips shoot up to create tension should match the bend on the bar when your shins meet the bar as the weight is about to come up off of the floor. Any loss of that initial bend = loss of tension = energy leak. If you wear high socks you can use them as a landmark to see if you're losing any bend/tension.
