This is so understated. Thanks for covering this. I think I was shrugging my traps rather than extending my arms and squeezing the lats. This is a huge difference and a topic not really covered. Thanks again!
And just like that Sully imparts some actually information regarding deadlift form that you will not get anywhere else. I have been watching youtube deadlift videos for about 10 years, I have yet to see someone explain it like this. Simple, straightforward, reasoned and correct. I will incorporate this into my next deadlift session - thanks champ!
This is absolute GOLD. I love deadlifts. Thanks so much for this video and your brilliant humour. Information and entertainment all in one package 😂😂😂👍
Thank you so much Dr Jonathon. Such an intelligent genius. This video has helped me so much and has answeared all my questions that I've wanted to know for years of how to lift properly when doing deadlifts. The superb Queen rules. The word "Deadlift" sais it all and out ranks the squats anyday. God Bless you
I would pay money just to hear Sully talk. I'm not joking. Something about it is incredibly reassuring. Can you imagine that silky smooth voice caressing your ear drums as you straddle the fence between the corporeal and eternal oblivion in the ER? I would die, but in a good way.
I had the pleasure of hearing Sully talk during a couple strength camps in Michigan. He's the same personality live he is in his videos, and it's some of the best money I ever spent.
@@GreySteel hahaha, but my gym doesn't have one anyhow. They do have annoying hexagonal plates though. I'll try pulling more purposefully towards my legs. Thanks so much, really enjoy the channel.
Just to close the loop, it's challenging, but definitely, definitely makes a big difference. I'll keep working on it. Thank you so, so much for this advice @GreySteel
@@shawndejohn63 yes, the Starting Strength Novice Linear Progression specifies two heavy deadlift days per week on Monday and Friday with an 80% deadlift or power clean on Wednesday. But being a man of a certain age, I omit the Wednesday workout.
Actually, you sound like my Aunt Gladys. She was a knitter, AND a humorless stick-in-the-mud, like you. She elaborated all kinds of useless opinions and unconstructive criticisms from the safety of her smelly, overstuffed couch, knitting the whole time, while her little rat-dog humped her swollen ankles. Yes...I feel you. You are definitely channeling Aunt Gladys. Thanks for the "feedback." Have a nice life.
I've been following various strength and bodybuilding channels for years and Greysteel never came up on my feed until recently. Great content.
This past December, at age 70, I deadlifted, in competition, 424. Squeezed my armpits till they almost cramped !
That's awesome! You are shaming this wrong guy into getting to the gym!
@@unladenparrot6141 Please don't take it that way, as I look to shame no one. I choose only to lead by example.
Unladen Parrot, please do not take it that way, as I seek to shame no one. I choose only to lead by example.
Thats impressive!!

Our pleasure, Hossak. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Dr, Sullivan for your UA-cam channel. I am a 67 year old female doing Crossfit. The armpit tip worked great for me today! I deadlifted 170#.

I will apply this tomorrow as I have been prone to a slight swing away form legs lately.

Wow! Thanks...I think. :-p
FWIW, my colleagues and nurses in the ER did not always find me a particularly soothing presence.

As one of Sully's clients 'silky smooth caressing' is definitely NOT how I'd describe his delivery when I'm under the bar.
Thanks for this. This explains some of the stuff I've been experiencing as I'm doing much more weight than I ever expected to. I'll give this a try.
Tom Duval try using a Hex Bar
Hope this helps. Ignore the Cult Of The Hex Bar.

Keep it up! Growing in strength is great news.

Excellent video, thanks Doc. Happy new year!
I deadlifted 315# on Monday and will go up to 320# on Friday. I'm going to focus on ARMPITS!
Hell yeh!
takatsu5 You’re deadlifting twice a week?
@@shawndejohn63 yes, the Starting Strength Novice Linear Progression specifies two heavy deadlift days per week on Monday and Friday with an 80% deadlift or power clean on Wednesday. But being a man of a certain age, I omit the Wednesday workout.
takatsu5 Is the program a A/B template?
@@shawndejohn63 yes
Going to work on this.
Awesome video thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Interesting armpit que, did not think of that. thx
Give it a try.
Nice, thanks. So bar burn up the shins is all good? To be embraced?
Wear deadlift socks.
“It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.”
😂
She gets mad if you even TRY.
Just a bit of feedback, I don’t like the style of this video. Mother Nature is a mother! Oh dear, F, F F. There’s no need, stick to the knitting.
