My working set is 405lbs. If i was lifting more for hypertrophy I would do 365lbs. This guy in the video is way larger them me. I would not doubt he hits 10 reps with 5 plates.
Fuck yeah! Congratulations my guy. The conventional deadlift is my weakest lift. It frustrates me. No matter how many videos I watch to make sure I’m doing everything right, I always end up with a low back pump and I feel like in the 13 years I’ve been lifting, I think I’ve only properly felt it in my glutes only ONCE, maybe twice. Fuck my life.
@@shkooling might come down to your body not form, having a pump in your erector muscles is perfectly normal and good, but you should NOT feel strain on your spine. Just means you gotta do other workouts for glutes. I have the same experience with deadlift feel it in my electors and a bit in my hamstring/glutes, so I do deadlift on back day
@@shkooling don’t worry mate, don’t think I’ve ever felt it in my glutes conventional, maybe once, only ever felt it more consistently during paused deads. Also, the other guy is right, there’s nothing wrong with it and it may just be your body, I felt it a lot in my lower back, never got injured specifically from it, but it was annoying me lol so for me I just set my hips higher and that solved it all for me pretty much. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso, look at your hip height and maybe play around with that. Also, you could be erector dominant, meaning the erectors may take over in order to complete the lift.

@@shkooling make the bar touch your shins while not getting so low, use alternating grip and don't tire yourself out by starting with light weights and you should make quick progress
So when you say long arms do you mean literally reach as far as you can? He said anti shrug which makes me think I'm interpreting this correctly. So I should start shoulders shrugged forward and end up pulling my shoulders back at the top of the lift?
When you use regular bad that looks like Olympic bar that cannot flex you just dead because the bar cannot flex like the Olympics bar so you have to drive you foot into the ground with power to get bar off the floor to get the bar pass you knees and you upper body take over.
I'm a couple inches shorter than you but same. My arms are only 1:1 length with my height while my legs are as long as a seven-footer so they've SUCKED 😂
It helps 3 cues for the deadlift. One is resisting excessive thoracic flexion (upper back bending forward), with the band around the neck, it’s going to pull your upper back down towards your hands. Resisting this helps you get the feel for good thoracic extension. The second is keeping strong elbow extension by engaging the triceps to resist the band pulling your hands up. This is important because the biceps are, in the grand scheme of things, pretty small muscles that can’t handle much load. The main reason people get the rare but devastating biceps tendon rupture when lifting heavy is they don’t keep strong elbow extension. This can result in the biceps attempting to take on a load it has no business trying to lift, and at a nearly maximum stretch position. While elbow extension is important for any deadlift, this is especially important for the mixed grip where the biceps of the supinated hand may try to take on the load. Third, it encourages scapular depression and protraction. To “keep your arms long” you want your shoulder blades and be slightly protracted and locked down at your sides. The deadlift isn’t a shrug or row, so the rhomboids and traps need to take a stabilizing role during the movement. The band will pull your shoulder blades up and together, which is resisted by pushing the shoulder blades out and down, which is not only more stable, but also lengthens your reach, making the deadlift more efficient
I’d love to learn about how you found this career. What steps were necessary to reach where you are today because you have my dream job. I’m in undergrad right now and am going to apply to PT school but don’t know how I can get from there to working with athletes the way you do.
@@wtfhahahaha This is usually the case. I have "short arms" and suck at deadlifting. However in the bench press I smoke the guys who smoke me in deadlift
Wouldn't recommend trying to engage triceps, you'll confuse yourself... Keep that bar close as possible, work on hip movements. The weight will come if you put in work
Bro said 2-3 plates for a warm up that is wild
Nah
For a healthy active male 2-3 plates is a warmup

@@clarencej4730 "healthy active males" aren't strong
@@clarencej4730what it means "plate"? Is that 20kg?
BRB just going for surgery to lengthen my arms.
Just have long arms bro. What's stopping you bro?
I usually start my warmup with 1,000 pounds. This guy is a lightweight
Is the usual weight bro
For anyone asking this is Chris bridgeford and he’s amazing at helping deadlift technique
Thanks bro. I'm gonna save that for others in the future, this is an awesome drill.
❤😊 Thanks
Broke 300lbs a month ago, after about 8 months training. Back injury had me miss a couple months of deadlifting though.
Fuck yeah! Congratulations my guy.

Gonna try this next Wednesday 😮
What a great technique for form. Thanks!
Nice, gonna try this today. Thanks
I can learn more from your videos than uni lessons
Bro 3 plates is more than my max xD such a humble brag
Thanks needed this
Does the lifter also have a UA-cam channel?

Man I’m cursed with king legs and short arms. Pretty much a T-Rex trying to deadlift
My arms are short bruh deadlifts are my nemesis
Love this
Great cue!

Can you do this with sumo?
2-3 plates lol 😂
😐
I don't get it why is it funny
How tall is this guy? I’m 6-8 and my form is garbage
I'm a couple inches shorter than you but same. My arms are only 1:1 length with my height while my legs are as long as a seven-footer so they've SUCKED 😂
Still see he has the hip pointing a little high at the start and a curved upper back
But how does the band help though? Im missing something…

Does he mean thoracic spine flexion?
That's what I was wondering. His back is clearly rounded

Bro have to go for a surgery if he does deadlift in mixed grip.
every time i lift now my lower right back hurts like a mf
This vid might've been just what ya needed then
@@Rico24337 not really but thanks
If only there was an entire healthcare profession specialising in the rehabilitation of pain/issues of your muscles and skeleton…
Go and see a physio.
Who is the lifter? Is he married? 😉
Long arms? My arms are baby sized 😭
Yeah, I think "straight arms" may have reached me better 😂
That means ur gonna be crazy strong at bench press tho
@@wtfhahahaha This is usually the case. I have "short arms" and suck at deadlifting. However in the bench press I smoke the guys who smoke me in deadlift
@@aleksiheija8170 ya it's got something to do with leverages
Steps 1 and 2: Have legs as long as your torso and shins as long as your femurs
@@Gambit-YT legs as long as torso are normal. It's half the height. He means normal proportions.
@@Gambit-YT they don’t. Legs as long as your torso are relatively short. Ad good for dl
No joke...you reallly need long arms lol
Wouldn't recommend trying to engage triceps, you'll confuse yourself... Keep that bar close as possible, work on hip movements. The weight will come if you put in work
What about the romanian?
당신 다리가 앏아요
Step 1: learn clean & jerk
Step 2: after that you would laugh at the notion that deadlift is a difficult exercise that needs precise form
👎
Cj requires cIean pull not deadlift especially.
Cj also takes lot time to develop mobility and technique.
