@@llucaristondoalzina2061 that's the guy I listen to. Someone who clearly got shafted (short arms) but still gets the job done through intelligence and consistency.
I'd also throw in tempo snatch grip deadlifts for hypertrophy blocks. Slightly masochistic but very effective to f* up your back while still having pretty good carryover.
I did conventional deadlift last week and the last time I did those was in 2009 when I injured my back... The only thing I was doing recently was Trap bar deadlift and men I swear the conventional deadlift felt amazing last week. The leg drive, the hip hinge and the lockout felt so smooth, crisp and explosive. I was surprise.
@@fumbles1294 Obviously for some people as some lack the hip extension to even do an actual conventional deadlift. For people who can do it, the stimulus to fatigue ratio is really good in contrast to your risk to reward ratio. I for one have "long legs" and don't have any problems with them. Of course my deficit is the heel of weightlifting shoes aka .75 inches. A tiny deficit is fine.
fumbles 12 Since when is a short femur good for deadlifting? This is nonsense, deficit stiffs are only dangerous if you aren’t used to the loading and/or the rom. Start really light and work on flexibility first, then slowly increase the loading.
Another great video, I really thought you were gonna mention dimmel deadlifts, on those block pulls im actually weaker off 5 inch blocks than off the floor! Im gonna keep them in the rotation for that reason. If i suck at it i need more work.
One deadlift variation I really like is the wide-grip deadlift. Longer range of motion (hips start lower and the bar ends up higher on your legs, or above the crotch area for some...) and more emphasis on the upper back, which is where I do feel muscle soreness afterward if I do experience it at all. I did not expect you to mention it, because you keep mentioning you have short arms. For people with short arms, the wide-grip deadlift is no fun, I can imagine. BTW, do you have an opinion on the axle press as opposed to a press with a barbell? Of late I am doing the axle clean and strict press at home, whereas in the commercial gym I was out of habit always doing barbell strict presses (out a rack). This pandemic really shakes things up, I must say. I can say I like the axle variation. Cleaning the weight first also has a psychological advantage prior to pressing it (I have no rack at home), as the weight for the clean is very light and that makes me think the press is going to be easy too. The axle has a thicker circumference, which probably makes for a slightly higher starting point from which to press. I always have the bar, no matter what kind of bar, rest on my shoulders, from where I press. I digress, but I am curious as to your opinion, because you are an expert presser (short arms for the win there). My arms are not short; I have a harder time with presses than for example pulling. One other reason is I am of slight build, but on the taller side, so a deadlift suits me better. I do make it a point, though, to work hard on the stuff I am not good at. There is more reward in improving weak points.
Hi Alex i know its not video related, but i have 2 question for you, im just curious about your opinion. The first is, what do you think about casey butt formula? How reliable is it in your opinion? The second is, what do you think about those young athletes deadlifting 600 like nothing. Will they burnout/get injured or will be the first generation to have a 600 *kg* deadlift?
I had to Google the formula because I had never heard of it. It's not based on anything real. In a group of lifters where no one is on gear, genetic differences make the biggest determination of potential growth. Until you have a way of measuring that accurately and weighing it against discipline/effectiveness of diet and training (which will never exist) efforts to predict potential are pointless. Burn out isn't related to weight lifted, but recklessness. Injuries will stem from maxing out too often, sacrificing position to arbitrarily get the weight up, not allowing for recovery, etc. There's plenty of guys I know who fall in that category, and many won't be around long. 600kg would require a type of human we haven't seen yet..... Eddie Halls build at Thor's height.
@@AlexanderBromley i asked about the formula cause it gave me insane numbers, a bit unrealistic for a natty I asked about those young people cause in the last months i have seen a crazy amount of teens moving a crazy amount of weight, its so unreal, and yes maybe they are using roids but its still insane, some of them might will deadlift 550 *kg* or more, or theyll might reach their pick too early, i am curious as we have never seen such a thing in powerlifting. For other sport we have, but its a little different
@@disacane8459 Regarding your second question, those young guys may have already reached their peaks. This was happening even in the generation before, though less people doing it. 10 years later, those same huge teen deadlifters may have added only 30-40lbs to their pull. Just look at Eric Lilliebridge. I think he had already pulled in the 800's as a teen. His best comp pull is 904. He is 30 now. We all thought he would pull over a 1000 before he turns 30.
@@kirangrajkumar how could you ever reach your peak so early? And why would you even want to do that, what the hell are you gonna do afterwards? Let alone the massive use of peeds you would need to reach your peak so early To me personally it isn't worth it, but damn, everyone decides for himself
It seems to be like a combination of things. Some people just hit puberty early and mature quicker. You probably seen teens looking early 30’s. IMO, the faster you reach the peak, the harder it is to stay there. Better to be patient and peak early to mid 30’s. Then retire from serious competition early 40’s. I think taking your time to peak can allow your tendons and ligaments to get strong enough to withstand the beating. Hence, reducing the risk of any major injuries.
hey man, can you help a brother here with a video on frequency exercise variations volume intensity on the classic strict press(ohp), by the way awesome content.
Similar. Small difference in that you can't take the slack out of a rack pull, but that's not an important point. I prefer boxes because deads off the pins absolutely destroys bars.
You're the man when it comes to Deadlift tips
Yes, since he's got kinda bad genetics for it but he still got good at it

*Rippetoe left the chat*
LMFAO !!!
Your bracing video for anterior pelvic tilt is really helpful ..Thank you sir 🙏🏾🖤✌🏽
His form is so mesmerizing
These are literally the only other variations I do lol I'll definitely try the banded trap bar
I absolutely love deficit snatch grip deadlifts
Deficit Deadlift
Elevated Deadlift
Side Handle Deadlift
Variation 1: 1:18
Variation 2: 5:08
Variation 3: 7:50
A true saint
Great Information
The Hex Bar Deadlift is a excellent tool
The tips in this video and the other one you did on shin angles helped me develop a better loading sequence, and a better bar path. Thanks a bunch!

Deficit stiff leg deadlifts with controlled eccentrics is where it's at. Dan Green does those too.
Personally think the risk to reward on them is pretty bad.. And dan green has very short femurs.. Not as much risk for him

Man I’ve done block pulls from time to time 2-3 inches and I always felt like it was more difficult than from the ground, good to know!
definitely gonna have to play around with how I do my trap bar dl, never thought of doing that before!

Are these the same as a snatch grip deadlift.
Modern Sisyphus yes
Do you recommned deficit DL for tall people as well? Im 6'6 and wondering if it is too tough on my lower back.

Useful content. Subed. What trap bar is that? Looking to grab one for the home gym.
Titan. Cheap, sturdy, fits bands, and holds a ton of plates
Appreciate it. I'm not a Titan hater
Good content brooo
Are those elevated DL's similar to or better than rack pulls ? ( set below the knee ).
Similar. Small difference in that you can't take the slack out of a rack pull, but that's not an important point. I prefer boxes because deads off the pins absolutely destroys bars.
@@AlexanderBromley True. That's why I get sideways glances when I do Rack Pulls. I think I'll switch. That's for responding so quickly, Bromley.
@@AlexanderBromley could safety straps mitigate some of the damage?
Never go crazy on a four inch…
--Easy!--
I'm in hospital
I used to deadlift in my squat shoes, until I hurt my lower back.
I see dead people... Look, there's one behind you!
