you know what I like? it feels like you're actually trying to help, not show off
That's why we love them!
It because he says dude a lot 99% of people that still use that word are mega cool people
+marble ball kinda true tho lol
I came to write basically the same thing. No beating around the bush or behaving like a weirdo UA-cam personality. Very informative video, concise, and pleasant, helpful tone. Great job.
Mike Fratelli Its just an illusion
No arrogance
No unnecessary screaming
No corny jokes
Just 100% talent and teaching! Subbed!
I find the unneccesary screaming funny when doing 1 rep maxes, u know like Eddie Hall does.
mistake number 2: not performing the deadlift correctly....
yeah I would consider that a mistake xD
Luis A. D. Ah-Hoy People don't do RDLs thinking they're doing conventional DL. That's plain ridiculous and something you pulled from your ass.
I see that Call Me Kevin logo
@@jackcarter6629 it's called a joke you fucking donkey
Yo Where is the joke? I think Luis A. D. Ah-Hoy deleted his comment.
lmao I thought Kevin commented on a Buff Dude video
As a dudette trying to perfect my form, I thank you, dude.
ok
awesome
It’s been 3 years, how’s your form now?
Remember, the Buff Dudes aren't actually talking to only men - they do sometimes call the listeners "dudes", but that's more their version of "guys" or "people", since it is more consistent with their own name "Buff Dudes".
They sometimes explicitly say "dudes AND GIRLS" for emphasis.
I thought duddess was the right word
Eight years after you made this video, you're still helping people with their technique. I have watched a few others' videos, but this one really helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. I'm 6'2" & my back isn't the greatest. I was definitely not using proper technique up until today. Thank you!
Another mistake: increasing weight without perfecting the form
Right
@@coolkid3975 guilty for this
@@ganganaperera9405 same
I was a victim of this
Mistake. Got my ego in check and started doing a lot better
You are right. If the form is correct, the weight will come with time.
The sitting VS bowing position is a really good distinction between squats and deads. Nice tip!
Three personal trainers tried to explain deadlifts to me and nobody could do it. I watched about 100 tutorials and videos but still nothing. I tried it so hard at the gym but I always made some mistakes. Until I saw this video. I mean the thing that mostly helped me was the tip number 1, to keep your hands straight all the time, it's much easier to get proper form when you know that.
Thank you guys :)
talzO9 Well I'm just like that and I can't change it :)
Julian M Don't worry, I'm not retarded, I'm perfectly fine, it's just that I don't really like arguing on the internet with the dumb kids, so yeah, whatever they say, I just agree :)
Just think of your arms as cables, that tip helps a lot of people. With a deadlift, your arms do nothing but hold the weight, they have no part in actually lifting it. Slightly different when you start talking about cleans & snatches but in a conventional deadlift, NO ARMS! :)
Pick up a copy of Starting Strength if you want to perfect your deadlift. It contains all the information about a deadlift that you'll ever need.
mclane0209. Or you can just watch mark rippetoe's deadlift teaching video on UA-cam
Great Video ! I like the Nintendo type graphics as well as your information. I never realized that I was doing it wrong.
Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
+Buff Dudes I liked the arcade press start thingy too.
after watching this and listening to you I've decided squats are unnecessary if deadlifting is just a modified squat.
but I'd rather do Romanian deadlifting or stiff leg deadlifting (thighs glutes calves grip) combined with squat (gluttes quads calves) to hit more muscles.
+YangSword9x You missed the point of the video. He was showing bad form with how people try and turn the deadlift into a modified squat. They are very different exercises.
Well done!!
INDUSTRIALIST1234
I have no idea why UA-cam suggested this video to me, but it was very informative. I'll keep these tips in-mind if I ever start weightlifting.
Glad you enjoyed it Shawn. :-)
Shawn Elliott you started yet?
you should start soon if you havent already
Shawn was that you at the gym? 😉
sHAWN GET YOUR ASS IN THERE
would it be okay to wear high heals while performing a deadlift?
Wouldnt rtecomended
Mohaw4real ok thanks
Yes. In fact, you should never do a deadlift without at least 9 inches of heel, period.
+jimmy lol joker
Absolutely, and always remember to round your lower back.
I like that you are helping and not just walking around with your shirt off stating things you found on the first page of a Google search, subscribed
Did deadflifts today. And managed to focus a bit more on things I might have gotten wrong before thanks to this video, and it went great. Really appreciate these videos.
That's awesome Torvald! Happy to hear we could help.
i literally just looked this up because i felt like i was doing it wrong, every single thing you said people do wrong i was doing wrong 😅😅😅😅
You cleared all my doubts and queries about the Deadlift.Thanks a ton.
You sound like such a calm person. A legit dude :)
Whenever I am unsure about something I am doing in a workout I always end up coming to you guys, your very good at explaining things and unlike alot of other channels you can actually go through things in an understanding way. Thanks!
Hudson, going back and watching this brought to my attention how much you have grown over the years! What an impressive change. Keep it up man, and as always stay buff
Thanks man! Really appreciate anyone who takes the time to make these kind of videos. Good job too
One big mistake is the look in the mirror. Overextending the head to see yourself in front in the mirror or rotate the head to the side to check if the back is unbowed.
+Pascal Coenen Nice advice : I hear guys remained blocked because they rotate the head during the lift
Thanks bro good tip. I intend to do this all the time I deadlift I've realised
+Pascal Coenen By your sentence format I can't tell if you're trying to say DON'T look in the mirror, or DO look in the mirror to check your form.
+Levi C Don't
hello my names Jeff...
This actually helped me figure out a couple things I was doing wrong. Thanks, bubba!
Honestly, I’ve seen so many videos ripping on somebodies form, I’m glad you guys put this out. My trainer gave me the basics recently (I’m just getting into this and I’m getting older, so injuries last these days). I want to practice, but I don’t wanna screw it up. Thanks!
Best gym instructor I have watched so far. Worth the watch!
if you French fry when your supposed to pizza..your gona have a bad time
Wtf?
+BIker south park reference
skiing
HAHAHA yeah exactely what I thought when he said that
lmao
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Simple and short. Keep it up Thor!
Thanks guys. I'm currently deadlifting 150kg (330lb), my trainer videoed my form for me and I realised I'm definitely guilty of rounding my back. I'm going to practice implementing your tips and record it again :)
His voice, info is straight forwards and crystal clear. Thanks a lot for video. It helped me a lot.
I'm one of the smaller guys in my gym's free weight area and yet, 95% of the time, I'm the only one who ever does deadlifts (or free weight squats, for that matter) in there while all the grunting dudebrahs do nothing but bench/overhead press and biceps curls.
Maybe you haven't seen them do that? I mean, you can't be there all the time right?
Mohd Taufik Mohammad Yeah, I meant 95% of the time I'm there. But there's always people at the benches, people using dumbbells for curls, etc. Only the squat rack is standing there in the corner with no one even looking at it. (Also, there is only one squat rack in the entire gym, but at least 5 smith machines)
Chris 95% of the time? You work there or something?
Mohd Taufik Mohammad Nooo, I mean of those ~9 hours I spend at the gym every week, 95% of the time (= 8.55 hours) no one is using the squat rack. I'm not saying I'm at the gym 95% of the week (that would be 159.6 hours).
Chris That's my point. Perhaps people are using it when you are not there. I mean, even at my gym people seem to not do the deadlift, but I can't say for sure because the gym is open for 10 hours and I'm only usually there for a max of 2 hours. I just learned that at night, more experienced bodybuilders are working out at my gym, but at the time I usually go which is around 4pm, mostly there are just people who seem to have just started learning to work out.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! BEST CORRECTION VIDEO ON DEADLIFTS
thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it!
This is easily one of the best Deadlift videos. Thanks for your help Buff Dudes, great insight! Much appreciated. Cheers!
Thanks dude, I just started working out for petty much the first time in my life. I’ve always been intimidated by just not knowing the correct way to do the exercises and afraid of ending up hurting myself. Your videos help a lot and give me confidence in the gym. Keep it up dude!
THIS IS WHAT I NEED. Me and my bro have been very uneducated about weights and kept to tread mill etc. We really want to explore our Gym and get the best out of it without looking like complete noobs lols. So helpful . big fat sub (: .
I fart every time I deadlift more than 100lbs
I do that without deadlifting :D.
Well a fart is better than a SHART!!!
LOL I'm happy I'm not the only one. Almost any leg workout for that matter. Squats is another big one
05 Impreza STI funny..hehe..Ive done that too..Not good when there other people about..
05 Impreza STI Just put some earphones on and keep lifting, man.
Wow this video really helped! I've been doing some of these subtly mistakes you pointed out, not doing them anymore and it's actually been helping my progression! Thanks a bunch guys, you rock!
love your calm way of explaining it - comes through! Have a great day / alexander
dude amazing tips, thanks alot you just saved my back from being all snapped up. NO need to snap shit when you get dude advice. Keep up the good work, these videos are very helpful.
Someone make a "Deadlifts - 5 Most Common Deadlift Mistakes but every time he says DUDE it gets faster"
I thought "Such as this" was just as annoying.
This is always a good video to look at from time to time as a refresher
This helped me soo much. Thank you Buffdudes
2:34 "What you'll common... ...ly see in the gym"
had a captain kirk moment
It happens to the best of us lol
he was buff...ering.
Awesome! Good teacher! Not some dude showing off, but really helping.
Loved the Nintendo and the South Park reference :p
Keep it up!
This video helped me out so much, especially #3! Thank you so much
Great video! Thank you so much!
Damn this is good! Thanks guys. I subscribed
Disagree SOME with the hips too low tip (although you dont want to be too low). You want leg drive, having your hips to high CAN encourage back rounding, and you can lose power and leverage by starting too high. Depends on the stance too. If legs are wider apart than your hips can be higher
I agree with you here! Once I started deadlifting with my hips lower, I felt a lot more secure and my back is more straight aswell.
Yup. Agreed. Staying lower is what helps keep my back completely straight.
Is there a difference if you are a powerlifter? because the powerlifters i have seen have a low hip.
Baconsammich Well yes. Getting lower lets you get your legs involved for more power which they should!! Why would anyone want to put all that force on the hamstrings and lower back? (Unless your lifting light) Its a compound movement! When I started adding leg drive my dead lift number when up and back back wasnt as sore..
But the bar do sometimes hit the front of my leg.Is there anyway to to avoid that with low hips position?
I thought I was doing it wrong because of social media and it has been Three years since I lifted but it seems to be that I’m still doing it correctly and this video made my heart warm yayyyy! Thank you for the videos some of them are really good reminders! Even when I know what I’m doing I still find myself watching theses! Much appreciated
Absolutely excellent video bro
The key is to put it all in your groin and your back, take your legs
totally out of the equation. Lift with your lower back in a jerking,
twisting motion.
+Bobzeda yea don´t forget to stand on top of a gymnastic ball
Ay dude perfect reference
Man I was doing it all wrong thanks bro! Going for my PR now! 👍💪
Haha family Guy reference
Cheese Grater
Dude Perfect got that quote from Family Guy:
ua-cam.com/video/1e4SBxgqBEY/v-deo.html
Ok dude, thanks for the help dude. Dude.
good video dude. Nice tips, will check out more of your stuff.
Hi dude, been out of weightlifting for 10 years and recently picked it up again. I loved this video, great refresher and right to the point. Thanks for the info!!
DUDES!
Dude!
I would also say how incredibly important it is to take a breath before the pull; and holding on to that breath until the pull is complete.
+Cooper Carr to keep stable the column with inside over pressure! exactly! but dangerous for those with heart disease, blood pressure problems or respiratory complications! good!
+Cooper Carr Valsalva is a fantastic way to get a hernia or cause a cardiovascular event. If you cannot deadlift while breathing and using core musculature (both front, back, and rotational) alone to stabilize the spine, you are trying to lift too much and need to rethink your progression.
Paige Chamberlain yea thats why every single strong man or any experienced lifter holds the breath. It acts as an internal buttress.
+Cooper Carr I need no instruction on the purpose of valsalva. If you are looking at strongmen or competitive lifters, your argument is misplaced as those who say squats should exceed 100 degrees knee flexion. For strongmen and olympic lifters, it is OK because lifting weight is their performance measure. They will valsalva to get the absolute maximum lift (a trade of risk for benefit). For athletes who have a performance measure other than lbs/kg lifted, there is zero benefit for the added risk.
Nah even lifting normal weigh like 200 lbs is directly benefitted from holding your breath. It just builds rigidity I don't come near passing out or really feel any stress on my body.
BUT! I am honestly curious and not wanting to be an internet douche turd. What is another way in which I could breathe while doing pulls like the deadlift or squat?
Very detailed and great info. Thanks for the vid!
This is one of the best deadlift videos I have seen. Thanks for the info.
When I do the deadlift I usually pretend that I try to push the floor away from me with my feet.
I have found that this makes me perform a very natural lift automatically.
im gonna strat doing deadlift im 190 pounds how hevaey should i strat with ?
@@Tad1945
The StrongLifts program recommends that a male beginner starts with roughly 95 lbs (which includes the weight of the barbell itself).
@@sparkleprizm199
If you are a beginner and weigh 125 lbs then your starting weight would probably be around 115-120 lbs (this includes the weight of the bar itself).
If this feels too heavy then don't hesitate to start as low as about 70 lbs.
The important thing is that you can perform all the lifts with good form and without getting injured, and then you will quickly improve from there.
In my opinion everyone should start with bar + 2 lightest large plates (5kg for example), so 30kg total. Keep practising the movement until you feel no activation in your lower back whatsoever. SQUEEEEEEZE those glutes!
When he said “down, and up” he for real sounded like the push-up and pacer test guy 😂😂😂
Really nice and helpful video. Thanks
Great video. Everything you ever wanted to know about the deadlift but were afraid to ask.
I deadlift with socks and barely any gear. My rule is no need for belt below 200 lb, you should learn to brace your core without the belt.
Also, deadlifting without lift straps helps you develop grip strenght -lots of people tell me that I have a strong grip even though i don't work out my forearms directly-
There's no need for a belt at any weight... that's if you've got perfect form ...
I have sock amd foot fetish i would love to give u massage after ur training
Cayruh no belt Max 315lbs.
Belt makes me dizzy.
EddieRHS i don t think.so
Hmm, good thing I saw this video when I did, having JUST started doing deadlifts, as the starting position, with the hip positioning, was where I was messing up a little - as in I had myself closer to squat than the mentioned bowing-esque position
you mentioned (nothing a little adjustment (I.E raising them to where you demonstrated) couldn't fix though. :D )
Same
Good tips dudes! I'm a huge fan.
Super pumped. Thanks!
This guy has the most accentuated american accent there is haha
there are regional American accents my friend
He enunciates well, though. Pretty easy to understand for me, a foreigner.
This is how I learned english is supposed to sound
Americans speak dialects of english. Real english is spoken in England. The clue is in the name. If you wanted to learn proper spanish you'd learn to speak the way they speak in spain, not mexico.
Well he speaks American. A language originating from English
I finally got the courage to try the dead lift s I'm try it tomorrow at the gym.
crippling jim how did it go for you after 2 years? 😂 Your not crippled are you Jim?
@EM Que Or he just can't be bothered replying to you cuz he quit gym and is now obese couch potato
@@FatTonyMaranzano unfortunately Jim is now a quadriplegic after attempting the deadlift
Phenomenal! Thanks a lot! I grabbed a PR yesterday and am in a lot of pain today. This will help me walk back up the weight in a safer manner, and hopefully stack some more on.
Buff dudes are the best at giving you information in a reasonable about of time and just being helpful in general.
It’s all about practice... keep doing it and watch your form and after a while you’ll be doing deadlifts like a pro 👍
Mistake #6 - Not securing the plates to the bar
Do you really need to do that for deadlift?
Random Videos - Cr1TiKaL Full Streams lololol
If you have either thin plates or more than 2 plates, you need to secure them in place so then you get an even weight across the bar, if they are sliding around it can fuck your lift up.
NOOBS like you should secure the plates. This man does not.
depends on the plates/bar. with the gym i'm currently at, i have to secure them. they move around constantly, fucking up my lift. with my previous gyms and my home gym, i never had to secure them
thanks man. great video. I've always thought that deadlifts were too complicated and therefore I skipped them all the time. you've made it made clear how to lift properly
So glad I found this channel, excellent and informed advice 👌
Well, I'm not a dude but this video was very helpful 👌💪 lol
You are saying "dude" non ironically....I like it.
Really good video on proper techniques. Thanks.
Been lifting for years. Great refresher brother. Awesome explanation
feels good knowing i do them right sometimes
No one cares. That also feels good
***** just starting reading this comments, no one does care though
3:48 Yes, i can say, you gonna have bad time! :DDDDD
Great channel, great tips!
Great video DUDE!!!
really detailed, really useful !
God bless you guys always 😉👉
thanks Steven :)
+Olavi Ylikoski alah Buddha Jesus WE NEED ANSWERS
Why would you say that?! This is like a curse...
Point #2 is pointless. Maybe when you see people perform Romanian deadlifts, what they're actually intend to perform are...Romanian deadlifts.
+Trazan Apansson Best hamstring exercise evah.
+Trazan Apansson i agree ,your right
Yea that's a good point. I guess he is just trying to explain the difference between a deadlift and a Romanian deadlifts to those who don't know
+Adam Bice Romanian deadlifts are primarily a back strengthener especially the lower back with the glutes and hamstrings as secondary muscles ...
IQ encodoc i'm afraid these guys neither know how to deadlift correctly or RDL properly ... there's more holes in there technique than in swiss cheese ...
You seem like a genuine good person, I appreciate that so much
Thanks so much for this information! It was extremely helpful and the way you explained things was awesome.
I'm not a dude, dude
Natasha Paulino
You clicked on a video by a channel called buff dudes
Stroppy You've got a point didn't notice 😂 but he does say dude a lot
ahahah you're
funny !!
Riad Ademaj I sense sarcasm
Dudettes can be dudes too.
great vid! i'm getting lower back pain, is that likely due to pushing hips too far forward at top of lift, or using my back to help lift?
try sumo
right before u do a rep, breathe in while pushing your belly out, then act like you r trying to take a shit and flex all your core muscles, this supports your spine and is called core bracing
Look at your hamstring flexability. That limits a lot of people's deadlifts, and causes you to round your back lower or upper to compensate. If you want to keep deadlifting until u stretch out those hammy a raise the bar.not only that but make sure u can properly perform a hip hinge.
Yeah I got a bad back the first time I was deadlifting. with me it was lifting with my back
Using your back to help lift? Your lower back is always helping to lift a big part of the weight, if not most of the weight! Lower back soreness (not pain) is normal!
Wow! This was a great video! I am neither buff(yet) or a “dude,” but started weightlifting in January and have been a little nervous to try this.
I shld also add, besides not buff or a dude, I am not young either!😄 At least chronologically!
I have lost almost 70lbs this last year and have read study after study about sarcopenia. It is so important that people continue resistance training their entire life.
Thank u for taking the time to create this video. I am now a subscriber, and appreciate your help on my journey to great health and a happy life!!
This helped me so much I just started training a few months ago , I find these to be the hardest but I'm not giving up! Thank you
Oh crap I've been doing mistake no.2 all this time!
What are the main differences between a normal deadlift and a Romanian deadlift, muscle activation-wise?
My god...
The deadlift starts from a dead stop, that's the challenge and it's really taxing on the nervous system.
For Asgard!!!!!!
This is the kind of information I was looking for. Thanks Dude!
Thank you for a very clear and informative explanation master. Great videos. 👍🏼
As I sit here, slowly recovering from my lumbar injury, I realise: - I should have kept my hips higher
people don't seem to get it when you tell them "imagine you will sit on a chair" about squatting position, but what works all the time is "imagine you need to take a shit" ALWAYS works, tell them this and they instantly get what you mean xD
Nice and clear buddy!
just found these guys yesterday. I already love them.
Unless your powerlifting... then you always want to use a mixed grip and a belt for your working set(s) ... so that every lift is exactly like your competition lift and there is no surprises at a meet
Did you say when you are powerlifting or unless?
i implied that when your powerlifting ...... saying that what they said is true unless your powerlifting
many powerlifters don't agree with that.
what powerlifters agree that you should train with the form that your going to use in a meet ?
ben rice and candito to beltless work for extra core strength. for a while brandon campbell was working on double overhand as much as possible. candito trains with a high bar but competes with low bar and he trains touch and go but, of course, pauses in competitions. even dan green trains with high bar instead of low bar (for whole training cycles, not just as an accessory lift. granted, when they peak for a meet they train in their competition styles. anyway, there are a bunch of really strong guys that train in a different way than they compete.
Roman chair, Romanian deadlift, French curls..... if you live in US, just do US exercises! lol (jus ribbin y'dude nice werk).
This was very helpful !
Very nice explanation dude thanks 😊
