Yeah man, I feel like an amateur watching him coach stuff and I’ve been studying/training for a decade. I have to replay things upwards of three times to see what he saw once… sometimes I still don’t get it fully. He’s a wealth of information for a truly advanced lifter base. You don’t get this kind of minutiae anywhere else
Yeah right. A great coach can get through to his students. None of these people had any idea what he was even talking about. He’s far from Yoda. He’s more like Jabba the hut. 😂
Oh yeah, it’s so great. None of these people had any idea what he was even talking about. They all had that deer in the headlights look to them. And Tate is just way too anal about every little detail. He’s confusing them more than he’s helping them. Yeah he’s a great coach. Sure thing 😂👎🏻
I'm so envious of people who get this opportunity. I workout in a home gym so i'm self taught and i don't have anyone around to help tweak my form into something better.
Recently, I started doing 3-4 sets of lat work before I deadlift. I find that I can feel the lats working so much better in the deadlift if I do this. I’m guessing my form/position is solid if I can feel the lats engage
so sometimes these cues to help activate certain areas "doing what works" are "not right" but once you can feel the change you try to make it into a more normal situation? Like the chin tuck to help activate his glute"s in the right way
It’s amazing how many people at the gym, are lifting with their shoulders way in front of their knees. The reason? Because it’s harder to sit back and do it. It’s inefficient and dangerous to have the lower back doing that much work. My deadlift hit a personal best this weekend and my lower back felt fine- even coming off an injury
@@Danny-db9du my guess would be that it's easier to just musclefuck the weight up any old way than to get into a correct starting position (most always uncomfortable) which may involve stripping weight off the bar. Kind of a 2 steps back to be able to take 5 forward, which can be hard for a lot of people to come to grips with.
Lately as an avg home gym goer i am doing a couple of different deadlift variations in a session. So a warm up/main/ & end. Is that something advanced lifters would often do? I am warming up standing on wood blocks up to about 70ish %. Narrow stance. But my hands are together in the centre. I guess it's more of a "squatlift" but the glutes feel fired up after, and the erectors full of blood. Then a main sets Dl up to what ever i can on the day without breaking my hold. Then back on blocks up to a mild weight. for a wide grip narrow foot, focusing on holding the back statically and more of a hold and slow negative down.
Just hold the stages more, all of you., Dont rush into the DL and try to just "get it done" draw it out, each stage slwo, 1 s gaps. youre all rushing like a panic as soon as you think you're okay because you dont like the awkwardness of the set-up. Do each of 4 stages setup with 1s pause-hold every rep so you get confident and happy with it over months from repetition. Hands on bar, position, hold 1sec, pull slack out of bar , 1s, pull slack out of bones 1s, nearly go to lift + hold *long enough to settle, at least 1 sec, , launch it by all by pressing the palms of your feet straight down. (sometimes hold this position for long time to burn it into memory. When you feel everything in your bones+body stbilize - stillness arrive after the activity of aligning everything under tension - Lift press feet straight down and trying to press butt "downward" towards feet, lower by closing the kitchen drawer behind you, careful + controlled. Never being "womped forward" by the weight as if it' a big dog on a lead Go for weights that let you do this timed and measured. So 5% less than "usual" but controlled and beautiful so youre in control. So you clearly see each stage completed and marked offf. There is zero chance of you getting to the end of a lift and not executing the entire thing with perfect form because you take it slower and wait to be sure each box is ticked. You musnt rush it and just pray the cards land right that you do it correctly. This is unreliable. If you all took time to cross off each of the 4 stages of bar set up you would all develop much better lifts. And then when you're amazing at doing that, speeding up will come naturally. Also creating the correct set up then holding for a long time "blazes it in"to your brain and makes you get used to the position and get much stronger in it too. Its like an isometric hold. When you have perfect set-up you should be able to stay like that for 10 minutes without moving and without launching. Its a proof of sorts that your alignments are optimal
Hopefully you know how Dave cues things, he may say “toes up” to get you to shift your weight back, but he doesn’t want everyone literally lifting their toes off the floor. If you have issues with shifting forward, then this may be a good cue for you
Patrick Star no offense to OP, but like Dave said, people on UA-cam be stoopid actually believing everything they hear at face value. Gotta double check dude ain’t boutta wreck his form
I really don’t know why Dave got the hook grip guy to dig his hands into the bar, doesn’t work very well in my experience. Hook grip works great at the finger tips
Learn to do a proper controlled negative and you will understand how to engage the lower abs and ditch the "craning". Deadlifts should basically be like a leg-press using the bar like you would the handles on the leg-press.
Man, the stuff Dave can see and his ability to come up with cues based on it...He is like the fucking Yoda of powerlifting.

its funny cause dave has called louie yoda 😂

Seeing Dave coaching in so valuable, so much great information in a more viewer friendly way than technique teardown.
Totally agree. I now know to keep my chin tucked and lift my toes. 😂

23:57 felt that excitement by Dave when he nailed that lift. What a genuine reaction
Love these !! Can learn more in watching 20 minutes of Dave coaching than in hours of watching any one else.
This is easily the best series you guys have put out, great work.
Man, I would love to attend one of these. Seems invaluable
This is gold on so many levels...
I could watch these every day!
John Meadows sent me here. I'm 100% sure I need a lot adjustments watching this video
I cannot belive this is free on UA-cam. 👍👍👍👍
This series is getting better and better
This video was a game changer for. Activating the booty muscles and engaging the hips completely improved my dreads and squats. I felt it every time.
I want to train with Dave. Awesome coach.
I agree with Garrett. I would watch this all day. You are a GREAT coach Dave. Thank you!
I watched this during my deadlift session and hit a PR. Thanks fellas
I haven't been pushing my weight back on my heels near enough, thanks for the tip.
Really enjoy watching these videos, always takeaway something to try at my next session.
Dave is such a good coach
Man this is amazing! Aaargh why can't I get coaching like this 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Dawg I see u everywhere. Like everywhere 😂
@@Jacob-ft4ik Hahaha my dude I'm obsessed with powerlifting and calisthenics 😅 I'll try to keep my comments more disguised from now on 😂
RIP the guy who got roasted over sending his ammonia back in 4 different videos now
I'm so envious of people who get this opportunity. I workout in a home gym so i'm self taught and i don't have anyone around to help tweak my form into something better.
Fantastic and phenomenal to say the least.
These videos are BOMB!!! I love Dave and all his stuff! Thank you very much for sharing so much great and valuable content!!!
Always the best. Thanks brother.
10:28 Dave: Wat da fug.
This is honestly priceless content🙏
One of the guys you can lsten to endlessly. Him and Ed👍👍
I appreciate all of these nuggets Dave, just got back into lifting. Thank You
Recently, I started doing 3-4 sets of lat work before I deadlift. I find that I can feel the lats working so much better in the deadlift if I do this. I’m guessing my form/position is solid if I can feel the lats engage
I'm gonna try this!
I have learned so much in this video than all my years of lifting.
Such a good man Dave . Idc What everybody thinks But he one of my idols. I want to be a good coach just like him . What an expert omg
Outstanding video!

This was gold
Excellent video excellent content great tips!!!👍👌😎💯
I want Dave Tate to yell at me during training sessions "HIPS!! HIIIPS!!!!"
"Listen for the click" ---> starts making clattering sounds with metal plates just when he is about to pull :D 11:41

Damn Dave is a genius I am impressed with his knowledge
This is awesome!!
3:42 - This is the best tip for increasing your deadlift.
Thank you Dave.
Good group, good students
Gonna practice picking my toes up and tucking my chin in now thanks dave! You really are a master at technique!
Hopefully you know how Dave cues things, he may say “toes up” to get you to shift your weight back, but he doesn’t want everyone literally lifting their toes off the floor. If you have issues with shifting forward, then this may be a good cue for you

@@xinsanedefeatx I'll answer for him, hes joking lol, dave heavily emphasized that you shouldnt do it so he was being a smartass
Patrick Star no offense to OP, but like Dave said, people on UA-cam be stoopid actually believing everything they hear at face value. Gotta double check dude ain’t boutta wreck his form
Ja just got stuck at 140 kg (my PR id 180kg x 2)
And i think i should shut deadlift down for 2 weeks.
Numbers awent up RPE went down thanks Dave Tate.
Great vid 👌
This is fantastic
great video
Should I hold the negative when going for reps?
I really don’t know why Dave got the hook grip guy to dig his hands into the bar, doesn’t work very well in my experience. Hook grip works great at the finger tips
The "dead" ammonia 🤣🤣🤣

Deadlifts should basically be like a leg-press using the bar like you would the handles on the leg-press.
Damn that was good info
GOOD SHIT.
What app is that Dave is using?
Every coach needs a coach, and even tho I've never met the guy, right now mine is Dave Tate haha
I knew something was off because I felt my back snap and give out. I keep forgetting to use my legs, NOT my back
At Make or Break moments, some will go for broke and MAKE the lift!!
This is some good ass content!
Who are the lifters?
Who dis!? New video!
Fuck this is so interesting
The guy from John Meadows videos!
Do a Netflix pls
So Bianca who? I’m just tryna find the gram.
adzbxr1 hero status.
27:21
She knows whats up.
Have you guys though of micing the lavalier on Dave's hat so that his breathing isnt as loud?
I thought I knew how to deadlift until I watched this video 😢
i think someone wasn't ready for the ammonia and meant "death" instead of "dead" haha
Is that bearded guy rounding his lower back???
Six GMD could just be really built up erector spinae muscle
What would Jason Blaha say about this subject matter?🤔
Hed tell everyone what an athlete he is whilst stuffing his face with donuts
He’d say Dave is a good coach? Tf you talking about
He would coach Dave on how to coach
50 seconds into the video he already said overreaching 3 times.
Watching Dave I don't just feel like an amateur I feel like a non lifter whose technique is non existent/laughable at best.
*breathing heavily*
editing on these videos are amazing.
Awesome video, plus I will say it... the hot chick is a definite bonus!
Damn dude is fixing forms like someone who doesn’t think about breathing.
since i didnt see anyone asking this so far, who is that chick ?
Please let camera lady from 4:43 she is beautiful
Who’s that chick?
