@@surelock3221 that's funny man , I'm literally goin to Mexico in about a week n I'm actually dreading carrying all the suitcases lmao.. but who knows , maybe it'll be light for me this time around
I've gained a lot of knowledge watching your videos, but I have to say this is currently my favourite. I tried it on Sunday. It totally engaged the side lateral trunk. It even wrapped around to the love handles too. I went on a tai chi course last year lugging an awkward 22kg suitcase around on trains. I managed to get an inconvenient strain on my lower back diminished my total enjoyment of the course. I can now see it's because my lateral core is not getting enough isolated work. There's no point being a powerhouse front and back in controlled conditions. This exercise is a real world gem. Thanks for the tip.
The load you can suitcase deadlift will be well under half your conventional deadlift. So the load through the "lateral core" muscles will be less than half the load they experience during a conventional deadlift. You don't get stronger by lifting under 50% your max.
tried it, tightened my core, squared my shoulders, face straight ahead, lifted the bar, got halfway up when guts let out the rest of the liquid detox flush I had the day prior. safe to say it was a mess, but my core did tighten
You hit the nail on the head with this one especially for someone that ALWAYS need help strengthening the core. Sumo squats, Good mornings, and Lunges are the Only exercises in my bag of tricks due to a horrible lower back Degenerative disk disease issue, between L4 & L5 to be exact. Standing 6'-5", I have found that placing the barbell up on a higher platform or a smith-machine in order to squat low enough and still have a SAFE balance stance so the movement can be made. I realize using a "smith" defeat along of the effort in Core strengthening so any advice regarding lower body work is deeply appreciated.
A great exercise for downhill high performance skiers, where the forces generated by an edged ski are balanced by resistance through the exterior and leg, not letting the leg compress or calapse to early or too late in a turn.
If your strength and/ or mobility doesn't allow you to perform this with a 45lb plate do it off of blocks or in a rack off pins from roughly your mid shins
I think when ppl talk about not being able to do deadlifts bc of back problems and you're not on social security you're either making excuses or simply don't understand you need to go lighter and focus on, as Jeff points out so eloquently, your core, low back, and hip flexibility and mobility. He literally tells you the limiting factors aren't your back problems, the stronger your core the stronger your weight belt is, that weight belt is naturally there to protect your back, using will take most all strain off back, start low, go up in reps then weight, it's not rocket science, just patience and checking our egos at the door.
Never seen this one before. I'll give a try! I like that way you talk about energy leek. I need to strengthen my core and I needed to hear that! It looks really hard to lift the long bar with one hand. It's gonna be a hell of challenge for me. Thanks, Jeff!
Hi Jeff. Your videos are amazing!!! I'm from Milan, Italy, and I began my training in January 2014 but I found your channel a month ago or so. Each and everyone of your videos gives tons of informations and inspiration. I'm reapproaching pretty much all the exercises I do, focusing more on details and doing them in a more effective way. Thank you very much! - Michele
I do admire how Jeff approaches safety. Lifting is a LIFETIME journey. You can drive any Car at a VERY fast speed for a while, I repeat for a While, HOWEVER just like a Stock car during a race. The Engine may blow AT ANY MINUTE due to something small overlooked. Your human body is not just for ONE race, need to be prepared for SEVERAL Races.
I found a non-olympic bar in a room at my gym that already had weights loaded on it, and I think the load was considerably lighter than what Jeff has in this video. I liked using that amount of weight because I still got a challenging lift, but I left that it was a little easier to control the lift. I'm not quite sure how heavy the plates are in this video, but they look like they are the size of 45-lb plates, which would make the whole thing 135 pounds, bar included. For me, I think 135 might be a little difficult to control, so I'd probably shy away from that much, but with a lighter amount, I think it's still a very good lift -- as long as you don't get hurt.
sumo is more like a squat pattern. conventional is more of a hip hinge pattern. sumo puts less stress on the lower back, but the weight needs to travela shorter distance. sumo would be better for longer people. but tbh, i have researched this for a few days and i came to the conclusion the trap bar deadlift is best
hi Jeff. I have a request. can you make a video on shoulder impingement and how to avoid it? I think it would be helpful for most people like me who are still newbies. Thank you.
@@bretthepler722 Jayanth Reddy has probably seen 1,000 impingement videos since he posted that request *three years* ago. We old guys learned many impingement-causing movements as "proper" form, decades ago, long before the instantaneous info of the interwebs. No one was gonna argue against Schwarzenegger's, Columbu's, or Haney's chest, shoulder, or behind-the neck pressing/pullup form when those dudes were in their prime.
Jeff love you man you are the best trainer I have ever seen in the world Got one question I got no bars at my gym which belongs to my residential community
So many people are saying this would be better with dumbells ? HAHA Jeff is doing this exercise with 135 pounds in 1 hand. That's why he's using the bar. If any of you guys want to use a 50 pound dumbell instead go ahead.
+RatioOfOne No because I imagine the length of the barbell makes it far more difficult to stabilize which forces you to use more muscles to keep the barbell steady as you thrust upwards. With a dumbell you don't have any wobbling because it's so short there's no leverage so you don't have to deal with stabilizing the weight which is one of the points of the exercise
+RatioOfOne I had to progress from a dumbbell to a shorter barbell and then a regular barbell. Haven't done this in a while and plan on using the same progression.
RatioOfOne If you use two dumbbells, it's called a Dumbbell Deadlift. I think it is the most important exercise I do and feels great on the lower back. It is the only deadlift I do. I live in an apartment and do not have room for a barbell. I have been waiting for him to make a clip on it, but I guess I will have to suffice with this.
Excellent video, keep this type coming, very educational. Thanks for this new info. Developing greater side core strength with this exercise is a new goal for me. Bill
Hey Jeff great content as always haha. I was searching for strengthening the ql,glute medius.. So this exercise is a real game changer. While also hitting the obliques. We Need more stuff like that. Also the tip where we can engage our serratus and abs by doing one extra tweak that you told in an other video. And all these kind of things. Love it, keep going. Definitely worth your channel lots of high value information.
Man, David Wright putting one out his first trip back to the plate and Sting holding the WWE title in the closing segment of Raw.. How amazing of a night for you as a trainer was tonight??
I stated doing these recently. they smoke you. I definitely feel that one leg is worked more than the other, but also through my core. I finish off my deadlift routine with these.
Great video as ALWAYS Jeff! I understood the point of this. It's very important to keep changing up the exercises and expose challenge to part of the body that have not been exposed to it. I like doing the alternating grip deadlift and I like the look (and point) of this one. It's just like the offset loaded Dumbell press video you did. Do you think you could do a modified version of this with the bar? An Offset Dead lift forcing the focus on the core stability but not quite as harshly one sided? Love to know your thoughts.
I had trouble balancing bar when I did it but I liked the depth I was able to get. He suggest more of a hip hinge but I put more on the legs. Enjoyed the work from my core on this one. Might use a landmine set up next time.
Guys and girls, you can use two bars at once or two Dumbbells so you are even, don't have to use one side at a time, and use light weight, build up ability
ATHLEAN-X™ can you make a neutral spine video of indepth tips and a beginners guide to getting proprioception for neutral spine :) thanks JEFF another great video watched because of you
In my opinion this exercise can cause serious injury if not done like a pro. It may cause bad sprain in the erector spinae muscles and the transverse abdominis.
Why not just use a hex dead lift / trap bar? Its safer. I almost never do regular style dead lifts. I can't think of one aspect in my life where that dead lift exercise would help. I think it makes your lower back vulnerable.
I'll do this same exercise in dumbbells... I guess same muscles workout in dumbbells as well in barbells... only difference is doing in barbells will make more challenging. @Athleanx
You mentioned that you lowered yourself differently than in a hex-bar deadlift, where the knees bend right from the start. I've got a hex bar, which I use for deadlifts, so now you've got me wondering: Why couldn't a hex bar deadlift be done with the same hip pattern you used here on this suitcase deadlift?
Good exercise. you would start off light tho. I just tried it with a dumbbell (30kgs). its not many reps before it becomes surprisingly challenging. I also do 2arm dumbbell deadlifts instead of regular deads. I have lower disc problems and find it better.
as long as you're deadlifting it's good. too many people scared cause it might hurt your back. Don't use too much weight then, you don't have to lift as heavy as possible just make sure you do the movement right. a strong core feels amazing!
Could I use a suitcase?
asking the right questions
I'll tell my girlfriend that we're finally going to Mexico whenever I want to do this exercise
absolutely. ..it's even safer😉

I do these with a kettlebell and it is a great exercise
Thanks for the guide, I feel this will add to my lift potential as I'm as hyper mobility athlete and alt. lifts are my bread and butter.
A great exercise for downhill high performance skiers, where the forces generated by an edged ski are balanced by resistance through the exterior and leg, not letting the leg compress or calapse to early or too late in a turn.

Definitely a useful variation. Gets more out of a bar with limited plates to add for conventional deadlifts.
As a group exercise instructor I love these mechanical lessons
I've tried this and done it for a few months, it was not easy, and it was fun. Reminded me to do these again every now and then.

This a great exercise. I just started doing these to strengthen my core but
also my left leg which isn't as strong as my right due muscle imbalances.
I never see exercises this unique from any other fitness channels. This program rocks so hard. Thank you, Jeff!
I would love to see a video about the differences and benefits of different dead lifting styles. That would be awesome!
ua-cam.com/video/vW9HsXIIBvc/v-deo.html
im guessing jeff is more the guy who if he does have a weakness at all (arguably) fitness wise it's probably by his leg day
It's pretty hard to balance. it is easy to get injured. Better with dumbell or kettlebell plus can do doubles as option.

He's a beast but those are probably 25lb plates
Those are 45's
I have dumbell handles that take olympic plates
I think its a harder workout with the barbell either way, he is using more fibers to keep the bar centered then he would with a dumbell.
This is one of his best videos because the biomechanics discussion in the first part of the video was worded very well. It was clear and articulate.
Wouldn't this be better with a single dumbell?
lol true
+RatioOfOne No because I imagine the length of the barbell makes it far more difficult to stabilize which forces you to use more muscles to keep the barbell steady as you thrust upwards. With a dumbell you don't have any wobbling because it's so short there's no leverage so you don't have to deal with stabilizing the weight which is one of the points of the exercise
