    Hi everyone, I'm Felix, the deadlift platform guy. Thanks for your advice Alan. Today it's deadlift training and I'm going to put them into practice. Thank you for the time you have dedicated to me, I wish you the best. Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸

    hey Alan, I really appreciate the time you take out of your day to offer your expertise to those who sent in their lifts. would love to see you do something similar but in a UA-cam Shorts format, as it will reach a wider audience.

    For the Squat; I’d also add that grip will benefit from having a neutral wrist alongside widening the positioning (like Alan said). The wrists look to floppy and tightly gripping the bar will engaged the upper like Alan also suggested.
    Lastly, spotter arms. Please get them if you are squatting alone.

    • @domepiece11
      @domepiece11 4 місяці тому +1

      You can technically do high bar squatting without spotter arms. Your back should be upright enough that you can just dump the bar off your back. But you should NEVER do low bar squat without a spotter. Low bar has your back at like a 45-degree angle, so failing wants to sandwich the body. SO…if you don’t have a spotter, stick to a very high bar Olympic style squat and have clear space behind you to dump the bar.

    You've managed to keep me interested all these years and I really enjoy these form critiquing videos. *My youth to really go for it is behind me, so as a gym athlete, learning is a critical role in my current path.*
    I remember Pete uploaded a video of his chest junting forward during his squat, the imbalance in his chest clearly being the cause, and the weight was straying from a straight line.
    *Instead of what I thought would potentially solve it, working more on chest, he stuck a plate under his heels! lol* Reminds me of stretching techniques and how turning the limb rather than advancing distance produces easily 10x the effect or greater with no other change.

    I've been doing a sort of degrading four-set thing for press, e.g. 10/8/6/6 or thereabouts, kind of AMRAPish per set. I wonder if I'd be better off just doing five or six reps per set, and maybe increase weight a bit as I'm able. Someone said that shoulders love reps. Well, I don't know, maybe, but it occurs to me that this may be broscience, and I'm old and Rip says to cut back on tonnage and lift heavy for us oldies, which seems like generally good advice.

    Draco is using his serratus to brace rather than his lats. He's pushing the bar forward rather than pulling it down, like he's doing a pullup. That's why he's failing at the tspine.

    26:20 Alan mentions doing machine bench you don't have to worry about bar path.
    But if you do use a machine do you setup the bar to be over part A or Part B of the lift?

      @@BATTLESTAR42 Well I think it would be best to aim fort Point B where you touch the bar to your chest. Since stabilization part of the movement is done by the machine itself already. And aiming for Point A would be really uncomfortable position. But I don't think smith machine bench press is any good. Maybe only for incline press but not normal ones. If you have normal benches I'd suggest using them.

  • @shaungregory1827
    @shaungregory1827 4 місяці тому +2

    Looks like your deadlift guy with the platform and shin guards needs to work on a little technique practice with his deadlift using a little less weight without the platform to strengthen his posterior chain to pull the weight he is pulling without feeling the need for the platform.
    When you paused the video to show he gets into the perfect deadlift position after he dips low - that's actually a pause point in his technique that he needs to eliminate to progress.
    First step, he dips really low into the deep squat position you spoke about - and uses a bounce out of that to begin his lift.
    Second step, between the bottom bounce and the point you paused at, he's breaking the bar/weight from the ground slightly.
    Third step, he makes a very slight adjustment to his knee position right around the place you paused at which for a very small period pauses his pull, then he brings it the rest of the way up
    It looks to me as though he doesn't have the confidence his initial drive to go from the deadlift position to breaking the weight off the ground without the "kicker" from starting in the low squat.
    If he drops the weight and works on higher rep ranges at that lower weight - all starting from the deadlift position that you point out, which I'm calling his pause point, he'll increase the strength in his posterior chain and gain the confidence in breaking the weight from the ground at the correct starting position and be able to progress back to where he's at in a relatively short time.
    I did a similar motion to this for a period of time after I hurt my back. I was able to use my normal deadlift technique up to a certain weight - but often had to do very large rep ranges at that weight. Due to the issues I was having with my back, I adjusted my starting position to give me a little momentum into the lift with heavier weights. It worked and I could lift heavier - but I realized I wasn't getting the same benefit and called it my "kipping deadlift" as it was like I was giving myself that extra bit of thrust to go to where I wanted.
    I ended up stripping it back to the start and rebuilding.

    • @canererbay8842
      @canererbay8842 4 місяці тому +6

      Nah, he's already plenty strong to pull that weight from a good position right away. All that pre-pull tip-back and the heel elevation *doesn't* help him break the bar off the floor until he is *very* close to the correct position and can now use the quads without having the knees as much in the way. If anything, it's *taking away* from the strength of the bottom position. The pause is due to the necessary transition from the *horrible* pre-pull position to the actuall pulling position because he has to stop his tipping-forward while also having to actually start lifting the bar. It causes a brief lag.
