    I like how throughout the warm up, he acts exactly as if he was lifting really heavy : same form, same intention, same discipline. Just look at him sweat and breathing after a few reps @60kg / 135lb, just by generating so much tension 👍🏼

    • @Halbared

      Wise. Keeps things safe, injuries can happen at any weight, always treat the bar the same.

      You can really get a lot of work done training neuromuscular recruitment patterns if you perform your warm up sets exactly like your heavy sets. That ends up being half of your volume on heavy days.

    The Squat,RDL, RDL, squat cue is such a game changer I can't possibly exaggerate it. I had watched countless YT videos posted for videos and still was having back issues deadlifting and it just never felt right even when it didn't hurt. I was ready to give up on deadlifting and then this vid was that final piece that got me there.

  • @HarmanHundal01
    @HarmanHundal01 2 роки тому +37

    On Eccentric: Initiate by pushing hips back. Don’t shift knees forward till the bar crosses the patella. Then let the knees move forward so that the back’s angle with the ground stays the same as you descend all the way down and place the bar on the floor. Descend the bar under control as if you’re placing it on eggshells. Keep the back tight during the descent.
    On Concentric: The opposite. Keep the angle between the back and the ground the same until the bar is just below the patella and then straighten the back. The concentric is not entirely a pulling motion. You push the ground first with your legs, and then pull with your back. Before you lift, create lat tension by trying to break the bar. This is essential so that you don’t round-unround your back or sag-unsag your shoulders to move the bar downward or upward respectively.
    Setup: When you bend to pick up the bar, the crease of your hip should be halfway between the height of the shoulder and the knees. Shoulders should be above the bar and midfoot.

    The bar should start under the shoulder blades, not the glenohumeral joint. Otherwise, pretty good tutorial. Not mentioned is the cue to "push the floor away" on the concentric. I'd also add that it's important to consciously squeeze the bar as hard as possible before each rep.

    • @jmetallicad
      @jmetallicad 3 роки тому

      I think it's a cue he uses to make sure he creates proper tension and reinforce good positioning but if you noticed on his last set (which was still well below his max obviously), his shoulders came ever so slightly forward before the bar left the ground. This is so the weight could shift to directly over the mid foot before he pulled it up. I think he just exaggerates the shoulder positioning over the bar to make things easier mentally and probably because of years of training ingraining his movement patterns. But the bar will always shift slightly forward (think more lat/triceps intersection over the bar) before pulling up, its just physics.
