@@JustLeein if you have a bulging disc or worse, it never heals properly and the cartilage ring is forever damaged. Deadlifts put you in lumbar flexion, which makes the disc jelly (nucleus) “pop” out and it start the cycle of injury all over. Once it heals, it’s fine but if you continue to do flexion movements (ie. Deadlifts, leg presses, most core workouts except for planks) it WILL wake up again! No way around it.

Perfectly good form. Thorastic region of the back being rounded consistently throughout the lift is perfectly safe. A lot of top deadlifters do this. Justin himself has a video on said form explaining it
He's barely rounding his lumbar. Even with that it's only dangerous if he doesn't keep it at the same degree of curve throughout the movement, which he does. Hundreds of powerlifters do the same to help with their leverages
@@AlpeshK-co2pz I do agree that that analogy may not have been the best. But there is also no danger in rounding the upper back which is the point I’m trying to get across. The thoracic spine being rounded is not a danger when done properly assuming it doesn’t get any rounder throughout the lift. Almost every great deadlifter has at least a slightly rounded upper back, it improves their leverages and its frankly almost impossible to keep a perfectly neutral back after a certain point. A better analogy to represent this in terms of drunk driving would be 10000 people drunk drive 10000 times each and no one got injured. If we had no prior knowledge on drunk driving then it would be fair to assume that drunk driving wouldn’t be an issue in this hypothetical case. Also most deadlift injuries tend to come from poor kid management, regardless of form.
@@davidgunnarsson5524 Yes. Look at his back. The deadlift is mainly a leg focused exercise that requires a straight back bent over. Injuring yourself in the gym is a common occurrence that can have serious consequences. While working out and pushing our bodies to their limits is important for physical health, it is crucial to do so in a safe and controlled manner. Unfortunately, many gym-goers neglect proper form and technique, leading to injuries that could have been avoided. One of the main reasons for gym injuries is a lack of knowledge and guidance. Many people try to imitate what they see others doing or follow online workout routines without proper instruction. This can result in incorrect form or overexertion, leading to strains, sprains, and even more severe injuries. Furthermore, some individuals may push themselves too hard or use weights that are too heavy for their current fitness level. This can also increase the risk of injury, especially if they are not adequately warmed up or have not built up enough strength and endurance. To prevent injuries in the gym, it is crucial to seek guidance from a professional trainer and start with a realistic and personalized workout plan. Additionally, listening to your body and not pushing beyond your limits is essential. Remember, the goal is to improve your overall health and fitness, not to impress others or follow unrealistic standards. In conclusion, injuring yourself in the gym can be avoided by prioritizing safety, seeking proper guidance, and listening to your body. Remember, the key to achieving sustainable fitness goals is to train smart, not just hard. Don't let an injury set you back on your fitness journey.
@@generalgrievous3982the spinae erectors are prime movers in this. Stronger spinae erectors, mean thicker back and less load on lower back = less pain on lower back.
I bought an Olympic bar and some sets of plates about that same time. Started deadlifting twice a week since then. I have never felt stronger in my life. Keep it up king.
@@zoranagavrilovic9403 Yes, he does. Both his thoracic AND lumbar spine are in overly flexed position for an optimal deadlift. If you want to argue anatomy, olease go ahead
You also have to remember anatomy will make some lifts better for some. For me I have to squat with my toes and knees pointed out due to the knee pain I get and popping if I don't. I think some people will lift better with sumo or conventional depending on the build. Feel free to lmk what you guys think.
I'm pretty sure pointing your toes in or not is a personal thing. I point my toes out a bit, it's like being left or right handed. Although I'd Google it
What exactly perfect form means will always vary between people's unique bodies but anyone with a fully functional body can do conventional deadlifts. Just like you can still do all sorts of squats even though you might have to make some small adjustments to form. Of course some people will find it more difficult than others and everybody needs to make their own choice but I'd also recommend it to everyone.
Fucked my lower back up when i was 18 with shit form and trying to max out every other day. Now almost 10 years later i still barely deadlift because one wrong movement and it will hurt to walk for like a week. It used to be my favorite movement
Slipped a disc or something in my back last year. Never got it looked at but I could barely walk. Didn’t deadlift for over a year. Started in June this year and it’s helped my back a lot.
@@Supremebean303 happened to me last year when I was a newbie. Deadlifted with improper form and load I couldn’t manage consequently resulting in an injury. Couldn’t walk for a couple days and had recovering pain for so long. Then later this year, summer and September specifically I started deadlifting again, even hit some pr’s and now with the result of me finding the form for my leverages I have no more back pain and my spinal erectors are stronger than ever 💪
I’m in the same exact position as you. I’m 27 now and was addicted to bodybuilding in high school, deadlifts being my favorite exercise. For the last 4 months I’ve been doing very short and very intense workouts around 30-40 minutes long, the key though is that I’ve been letting my central nervous system fully recover by taking 2 full days off in between each workout. I’m slowly building back a lot of strength that I thought I wouldn’t get back due to the fact I thought I f’d my body from going to hard 9-10 years ago.
Bro your form makes me wince, there is way too much rounding lol. Also Sumo is perfectly fine it just focuses more on the glutes and the hamstrings than the spinal erectors
@@manong_rj Yeah, I just hate it when people hate on Sumo, because I personally use it. Like there’s nothing wrong with it, it just works better for my body type
@@manong_rj Gotchu. Yeah I am a bit on the shorter side and Sumo is also just more comfortable for me to perform personally, and that’s why I use it. I think people should just use whichever version is more comfortable for them to perform, because it does vary by person.
Doing barbell hip thrusts have been amazing for the entire chain during deadlifts, especially the lower back. I could I feel a very big difference the next dl session
Can someone explain to me how power lifters can bend there back during the deadlift with out it hurting them? I've been doing power lifting for 4 mounths now and I still don't understand how they do it
Very much agreed! I recently started doing heavy deadlifts after a period of not doing them due to lower back pain but now i've fixed the issue and it just feels awesome, getting euphoric as hell on the gym after my deadlifts sets, even after the session!
I remember I always used to get destroyed after deadlifts, but I try one of the canditos programs (with deadlifts and squats the same day) and never got an issue with my lower back ever again
I am wondering how old are you? I been doing deadlift and squats around when I was 27 yrs old. I'm 42 now. And I started feeling pain in my lower back now. I only found relief on doing dead hang to decompress my spine.
I deadlift because it's great for my legs and core... haven't been to the gym in years... so when I get under the bar in a squat rack for instance... the bar sits on my neck instead of my shoulders (so can't do squats... until I recover some of my former flexibility... hence deadlifts for leg workout.)
Bro I been deadlifting for 1.5 year now and I recently stopped due to the inconvenience of my fucking lower back pain. In the beginning I had mid form but it’s improved and is pretty much perfect now. I just fuckin hate having lower back pain and it’s more of a burden than a benefit from my experience. I’d rather stick to more isolation workouts for my back and legs.
I was about to think this was the best video ever, then I saw how rounded your back was... I'm so conflicted. The statements are so true, but the form is not there
Agreed, drop the weight and become a student and practioner of the textbook form. If you keep using that heavy weight with that form it's not a matter of if it's when something will pop or break. Here's to your health and longevity. The strength will come in time.
There are some great videos out there on technique, ....with emphasis on their entire kinetic chain. Personally, I made some minor changes from the ground up, videoed myself (huge help), eliminated some "energy leaks", checked my ego at the door. The weight I use isn't anything great, but the form is biomechanically on point and the strength gains are consistent. The DL is an awesome exercise,...also mix in the Trap bar and two kettlebells when warming up for the mind muscle connection to engage the lats, arm pits and triceps along with pushing the scapula towards my back pockets, so to speak,...
@@cuck1ngfunt Powerlifting, as a sport, is notorious for horrific form on all big 3 lifts. The form used usually doesn't train the correct muscles and is just people trying to contort their bodies to lift the heaviest weight at all costs to ligaments, discs, and cartilage.
Pull the shoulders back and take the slack out of the bar to avoid the top of your spine rounding. People seem to think you have to deadlift with a completely straight back (which isn't true) Slight round in the lower back is fine but to have the entirety of your back rounding like that is definitely damaging my guy.
Important note for deadlifts: load management is key. Same with any other lift, but especially for deadlifts. You are essentially working full body, and that’s not easy to recover from. Deadlifts should be either lower intensity, lower frequency, or lower volume compared to other lifts. If you have crappy leverages for deadlifting, it will be even harder to recover, so keep that in mind. Remember, movements don’t cause injuries. Form doesn’t cause injuries. Too much weight or too much volume causes injuries.
Hey man, there are so many substitutes to barbell squats. Depends on the gym you go to, you can do a variation of hack squats, v-squats, or other machines. Other than that differently movements like lunges for quads and dumbell rdls for glutes and hamstrings. Basically - barbell squats are by no means necessary to build strength and size. As long as the other excersises you do equally involve the different parts of ur legs then do what u enjoy
Hey Justin! I’ve been attempting deadlifts for about half a year now, but I still have trouble with my hip hinge/hip mobility in general. Is thoracic rounding something I should consider trying? (As in, could it negate some of the mobility issues I have?) Thanks and love the content!
Lmao, I do sumo deadlifting right now because I wanted to change it up but I still find the Sumo hate hilarious. Jokes aside, if you do Sumo generally speaking, you should also switch to conventional every here and there to build it up since they are two different lifts really.
Dunno if this is common knowledge but I haven't seen it mentioned. Wear and mouthguard when you hit these hard, you can bite down like your life depends on it when it's leg day and I swear it helps really pushing to failure. Much love to all of ya ❤️❤️
Have you thought about trying to not round your back when you start, I know you say it's not a bad thing to maintain a rounded back throughout the whole lift but it seems to me that over time that probably wouldn't be a good thing I would think
Back rounding is fine as long as it doesnt happen throughout the lift. You should start with a neutral back though before finding your own natural pulling position. Theres no elite level deadlifter without a rounded back during deadlifts
His back does look kinda like a fishing pole, but it's not being used like a fishing pole. That's the main thing. Flatter would be better on the discs, but spines are shaped differently. Some people are naturally ramrod straight and others are very kyphotic.
I do quite enjoy rack pulls right now. But are you sure your form ia alright here? The back rounds like crazyy. Im sure you'd feel pain if the injury was on it's way tho..
It's something you see more with pro lifters. Most people shouldn't do it but as long as you remain completely stable, you can have a bit of a rounded upper back.
Hi, yes sir. I will make this short as possible. I’ve been suffering from lower back pain for years (10 years min) when I joined a gym, I decided to deadlift, I mean what do I have to lose? Then within 2-3 days my back pain was gone…make my word for it, It was like magic! Since then I have to deadlift 2x per week, I can’t remember the last time I had lower back pain. If someone else has lower back pain and what to huge it a go then go for it. Just for the heads, I copied CrossFit way by bending my back over the bar as the normal way didn’t help me whatsoever. Good luck.
Nope, they make you better at picking up heavy stuff in general, your couch, your kid, your groceries, your dumbbells. It all becomes easier and safer with a strong and most importantly stable lower back. Your other compound lifts benefit as well.
You should do both sumo and conventional, do sumo on squat day when your quads are fried, it’s effective. I also train lighter and more volume with sumo. Convential sets are almost always under 5 reps
Today I did deadlifts for the first time. A friend taught me. First time ever, I did 264,5 lbs - it felt awesome! Not really heavy I know, but hey in the end it was the first time and I gotta say I'm not unhappy with the results. He even said I had perfect form (I don't believe that though, you can always improve 😅) Long story short, I agree. Deadlifts are awesome! 🔥
i think the tip to stop going up in weight as soon as form diminishes is a good outlook to have when watching this video. awesome that you can do that weight but man when you’re young your body can compensate and get through movements fairly easy. your older self will suffer.
Let’s be fair. When you are good at the conv dl, you’ll advertise it like crazy. But look at Roonie Coleman, I think if something does not feel right with your body, you shouldn’t force yourself to do it. I still do the conv dl, but that’s just my opinion
deadlift is just a diff workout.Whenever i feel like not going to the gym, i deadlift coz after that, it reminds me how weak of a deadlifter I am which just motivates me to go to gym.
The benefits of deadlifts aside; they're the most fun exercise to PR at

Haven’t worked out since beginning of covid. Now I’m back into the routine and my lifts are coming back. Just pulled 275, working my way up to 315
I’ve learned deadlifting is almost therapeutic to my mental in a weird way lol
Same
Just started deadlifting today.. 175 for my first time but I felt I had more in me, just got gassed probs. 155bw
let's go!! That's a great starting place.
keep staying in the light range for 2 weeks. Get comfortable with the movement and have your knees and hips acclimate then go heavy
Nah the deadlift is gives the most relaxing and accomplished feeling
True it has me feeling primal when I deadlift.
Justin is your back actually pain free ?
I was about to think this was the best video ever, then I saw how rounded your back was... I'm so conflicted. The statements are so true, but the form is not there
Agreed, drop the weight and become a student and practioner of the textbook form. If you keep using that heavy weight with that form it's not a matter of if it's when something will pop or break. Here's to your health and longevity. The strength will come in time.
There are some great videos out there on technique, ....with emphasis on their entire kinetic chain. Personally, I made some minor changes from the ground up, videoed myself (huge help), eliminated some "energy leaks", checked my ego at the door. The weight I use isn't anything great, but the form is biomechanically on point and the strength gains are consistent. The DL is an awesome exercise,...also mix in the Trap bar and two kettlebells when warming up for the mind muscle connection to engage the lats, arm pits and triceps along with pushing the scapula towards my back pockets, so to speak,...
Thoracic rounding is fine, clearly neither of you know enough about powerlifting to he handing out form advice.
@@cuck1ngfunt Powerlifting, as a sport, is notorious for horrific form on all big 3 lifts. The form used usually doesn't train the correct muscles and is just people trying to contort their bodies to lift the heaviest weight at all costs to ligaments, discs, and cartilage.
Deadlift’s are great for injuries
Pull the shoulders back and take the slack out of the bar to avoid the top of your spine rounding. People seem to think you have to deadlift with a completely straight back (which isn't true) Slight round in the lower back is fine but to have the entirety of your back rounding like that is definitely damaging my guy.
I feel like my iq falls by 20 points the next 24 hours post very heavy deads, still worth it though 😂
Lol!!
Those headphones couldn’t handle the deadlifts
they weren't loyal

Deadlift is Life
Im 14 and did 225 lbs for 4 reps, its hell on the fingers man haha
Yessir good stuff man, if u don’t use chalk it helps with the fingers to use it
Weird that everyone complains about their grip. I can do 525 for a double and feels like I could hold 200lbs more.
@@mikakoivisto6504maybe they use straps during other exercises 💀
got more arch on ur back than my girl😂

deadlift is just pure happiness
Important note for deadlifts: load management is key. Same with any other lift, but especially for deadlifts. You are essentially working full body, and that’s not easy to recover from. Deadlifts should be either lower intensity, lower frequency, or lower volume compared to other lifts. If you have crappy leverages for deadlifting, it will be even harder to recover, so keep that in mind.
Remember, movements don’t cause injuries. Form doesn’t cause injuries. Too much weight or too much volume causes injuries.
Yo justinnnn, I have moderate scoliosis and whenever I squat I get awful back pain. What do you recommend to substitute for barbell squats.
You could try single-leg press. I'm not an expert in that, but ideally anything that doesn't aggravate your lower back?
Thanks bro, appreciate you!!
Hey man, there are so many substitutes to barbell squats. Depends on the gym you go to, you can do a variation of hack squats, v-squats, or other machines. Other than that differently movements like lunges for quads and dumbell rdls for glutes and hamstrings. Basically - barbell squats are by no means necessary to build strength and size. As long as the other excersises you do equally involve the different parts of ur legs then do what u enjoy
@@da_boss1064check your form dude, I also got scoliosis and I handle squats just fine
bro is arching his back so much
Hey Justin! I’ve been attempting deadlifts for about half a year now, but I still have trouble with my hip hinge/hip mobility in general. Is thoracic rounding something I should consider trying? (As in, could it negate some of the mobility issues I have?) Thanks and love the content!
Deadlift is good for spinae but it really is focused on form but it shouldn't be done often (1-2 a month)
Lmao, I do sumo deadlifting right now because I wanted to change it up but I still find the Sumo hate hilarious.
Jokes aside, if you do Sumo generally speaking, you should also switch to conventional every here and there to build it up since they are two different lifts really.
100%
How do you feel about the hex bar (trap bar) deadlift?
it's definitely more of a leg movement. Different movement, more similar to sumo than a conventional deadlift.
Left the deadlift behind, and I don't regret it. I'm old, and years of roofing have destroyed me.
Enjoy your youth.
Dunno if this is common knowledge but I haven't seen it mentioned.
Wear and mouthguard when you hit these hard, you can bite down like your life depends on it when it's leg day and I swear it helps really pushing to failure. Much love to all of ya ❤️❤️
Me: opens video expecting to see some rational explanation of the benefits of the exercise.
Video: YOU SHOULD DEADLIFT CUZ ITS KEWL
Your poor headphones
Well yah i like deadlifts 😁 is a lift that I can get Al my anger out
exactly ahaha
Always a good set when your headphones fall off but youre so locked in you go "cant stop now" and do the last few out of pure focus.
Have you thought about trying to not round your back when you start, I know you say it's not a bad thing to maintain a rounded back throughout the whole lift but it seems to me that over time that probably wouldn't be a good thing I would think
Dude. Your back.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but shouldn't your back be straight since it's an isometric one
It shouldn't bent, but it doesn't NEED to be straight. If you watch his deadlift he doesn't move his back, he has the same curve all the way through
Back rounding is fine as long as it doesnt happen throughout the lift. You should start with a neutral back though before finding your own natural pulling position.
Theres no elite level deadlifter without a rounded back during deadlifts
deadlifting has helped my lower back pain from sitting in school chairs all day
His back does look kinda like a fishing pole, but it's not being used like a fishing pole. That's the main thing. Flatter would be better on the discs, but spines are shaped differently. Some people are naturally ramrod straight and others are very kyphotic.
I do quite enjoy rack pulls right now. But are you sure your form ia alright here? The back rounds like crazyy. Im sure you'd feel pain if the injury was on it's way tho..
form isn't what causes injury that's a common misconception if this is the most efficient way for him to move the most weight then its the safest
It's something you see more with pro lifters. Most people shouldn't do it but as long as you remain completely stable, you can have a bit of a rounded upper back.
The body can adapt.
Thanks to all of you for explanations
Got damn, straighten that back out.
Thoracic rounding is actually very safe and quite common amongst elite level deadlifters
or don't. why should he. pls explain
Hi, yes sir. I will make this short as possible. I’ve been suffering from lower back pain for years (10 years min) when I joined a gym, I decided to deadlift, I mean what do I have to lose? Then within 2-3 days my back pain was gone…make my word for it,
It was like magic! Since then I have to deadlift 2x per week, I can’t remember the last time I had lower back pain.
If someone else has lower back pain and what to huge it a go then go for it. Just for the heads, I copied CrossFit way by bending my back over the bar as the normal way didn’t help me whatsoever. Good luck.
Facts, my favourite exercise.
Your back is literally rounded, maybe you shouldn't write off Sumo's so you can actually pull the weight without rounding your back
The only reason to do deadlifts is to get better at deadlifting...that's it.
No shut up
I do deadlifts so my back doesnt hurt
Deadlifts are a great movement
Nope, they make you better at picking up heavy stuff in general, your couch, your kid, your groceries, your dumbbells. It all becomes easier and safer with a strong and most importantly stable lower back. Your other compound lifts benefit as well.
@@iz2333 they also build thick back glutes and hams
Deadlifts healed my back. No more lower back pain.
Dead-Lift pr is life
L opinion sumo
The risk of injury is very high
No its not if you train properly, it's a great exercise
False af
if the ego takes over, yes!
Risk of injury is high for any lift that isn’t done correctly.
I don’t deadlifts at all cause my back is not going to say thank you…. And not when I do it when I’m older….
EXACTLY MY MANN!
Instant subscribe
Don’t be a ego lifter bro, reduce the weight because your form isn’t right.
And how much do you deadlifts? Exactly
Not everyone has a straight back.
hit 405 for the first time ever yesterday and it is just a feeling that hits different
You should do both sumo and conventional, do sumo on squat day when your quads are fried, it’s effective. I also train lighter and more volume with sumo. Convential sets are almost always under 5 reps
These sound effects are gold
Sumo just seems safer. I ain't tryna fuck myself up just to impress dudes.
breaking your back is also super animalistic.
Today I did deadlifts for the first time.
A friend taught me.
First time ever, I did 264,5 lbs - it felt awesome!
Not really heavy I know, but hey in the end it was the first time and I gotta say I'm not unhappy with the results.
He even said I had perfect form (I don't believe that though, you can always improve 😅)
Long story short, I agree. Deadlifts are awesome! 🔥
Hahah noob
Close to 440lbs - 200kg now 🤩
Still in love with deadlifts 🥰
You get same euphoric feeling from back squat
i think the tip to stop going up in weight as soon as form diminishes is a good outlook to have when watching this video. awesome that you can do that weight but man when you’re young your body can compensate and get through movements fairly easy. your older self will suffer.
Bro is a legend, he did not stop even if the headphones fell off
As long as your locking your back and keeping it tight you will definitely finish strong based on how you start.
Let’s be fair. When you are good at the conv dl, you’ll advertise it like crazy. But look at Roonie Coleman, I think if something does not feel right with your body, you shouldn’t force yourself to do it. I still do the conv dl, but that’s just my opinion
deadlift is just a diff workout.Whenever i feel like not going to the gym, i deadlift coz after that, it reminds me how weak of a deadlifter I am which just motivates me to go to gym.
