@@TooStrangeIan don't curve you'r back at all, it has to be straight and don't go down more than 20°. If the pain persists, you probably have a weak low back, which can be fixed doing romanian deadlifts and some stretches.
I started doing deadlifts because of your programme. Thank you Jeff. Because of you I saw results and really got fond of lifting and now it's the most vital part of my lifestyle.
I was reluctant to try this exercise before because I was not well instructed. I am thankful to Jeff for changing this. I am excited to get into dead lifts now.
Not squatting down is correct depending on your purpose of the exercise. If you want to lift as heavy as possible, then having legs in 45 degree angle can help you use more leg drive and lift heavier
Very tiny. Looks like 5'4". I am 6'5" so I have double the lift range he does. Still image I am looking at now, his elbows are way bent out to start gripping the bar.
Such a good exercise for the back, bottom to top. It elongates my spine for about 3-5 days and prevents cracking. Not sure there are any studies done but when I mention my benefits on various chiropractor channels or chiropractors channels posing as PTs, I would get disregards and shoe-away (like 'you were lucky') type comments. This exercise essentially keeps your back feeling like a mid-20s to mid-30s person for days after doing it.
@@Alan-zy9kc I think it depends on your own body mechanics. Especially tall people will be more prone to injury from classic deadlifts. Trap Bar deadlifts on the other hand would be a safer option.
I do my deadlifts like you, but I remember when I first started deadlifting at the age of 58. I was afraid so I did a lot of research. I looked at ( i guess ) famous coaches for powerlifting. I remember using the legs to get the weight moving from a dead stop was one of the biggest help for me. My core wasn't developed yet. Now 4 years later (age 62) I do more of a rdl style with no belt, i do 400lbs sets of 4. Definitely not an expert, I am just telling you my experience with this lift. I was afraid of it, and now i love it. It just feels so good. 😊 Oh, and on days that I don't feel like being in the gym, the checklist is the most important thing. I think it saves me from injury when my head is not in it while i do my beginning sets and warm-up. ✌️
Your know you are really a epitome or I would say a encouragement for me. Pls don't mistake me, but I'm 5'4" height I feel embarrassed when I see people way too big or taller than me. But you came out of it and already have posted lot of work out videos. I love you man, God Bless You. Please do keep posting.
I pulled my back doing Trap Bar deadlifts as a beginner by lifting too heavy in bad form, so I've been scared to return to it. I really appreciate Jeff's breakdown of how to approach a regular deadlift, as I'm resuming the lift now that my back is recovered. Will be following this as I get used to doing the movement. :)
Been lifting for over 20 years. Never did deadlifts. Squats, ham curls, and leg extensions forever. Been doing RDLs about 3-4 months, and my hammies and ass have gotten HUGE. Also, of note, nagging SI pain has vanished that has been there on/off for years. I LOVE it now.
This entire time for YEARS I’ve been doing it wrong. I was doing a combo of deadlifts and Romanian deadlifts. Thinking “why does my back hurt” thanks man!
You should do more of these. Great for the youth, and a good reminder too. I don't do that grip anymore after watching someone rip their bicep, though. I do double overhand now.
I agree with everything he explained except on occasion. I do like to squat down if I'm going super crazy heavy. Especially if a little fatigued, it's, it's not going to hurt anything to get a little more push from the legs on a big lift. Just my opinion and trust me. The benefits have paid off over the years.
I appreciate that in your example of what not to do you flexed your elbows. I see too many people do that. Deadlifting isn't especially dangerous, but too many people are scared of a torn bicep when it only happens when the lift isn't performed correctly.
@@Gunblastzif you aren't competing in powerlifting, straps are essential. No bicep tear risk, no imbalances due to lifting with different grips and no torn skin due to hook grip.
@@dominikpecuch2177 are those the only two options in your limited mind? Not bending at all and completely arched 😂you’re aware plenty of elite deadlifters do flex their spine right
@@OMAR-vk9pi maybe try reading, but this time, try using your brain...you said "false" to my comment which means bending is ok to you...care to elaborate then? so you don't look like complete fool?
@@dominikpecuch2177 a slight bend in the upper back isnt going to kill your back but if you arch it like a cat shitting then yes you'll visit the doctor in no time
only thing I dont do is grind the bar against my shins, heavy weight rips the hell out of them, and Im tall enough that I can leave a tiny space so i dont need high socks to do it.
I always think about driving my heels into the ground and pulling/thrusting my hips foward. One mistake I see a lot of people making is, they are trying to pull with their arms, flexing their bicep and sometimes tearing their bicep. To avoid this, I try to make my arms look ger by flexing by triceps and almost "pushing down" with my triceps and pulling my shoulders down and back.
Few things missing; pulling shoulders back to make sure stress isn't falling too much on lower back, keeping balance across feet to distribute weight properly, inhale and tense core again for back security, keep sight on a point at the bottom of the wall in front of you to keep you focused and head upright. Probably a few more I'm missing. A bit more than 5 steps for a perfect Deadlift anyway.
Wear something on your knees to not get hurt when the bar is dragged across them. Straighten your back before you lift. Don't lift too heavy (weight that you have to arch your back to lift) because you'll get hurt. Wear a belt if you can't keep your back straight or your core is weak. You can also just lift light weights.
1) shins 1 inch from barebell 2) feet at hip width 3) toes slightly out 4) grip the bar with the hands just outside the shins 5) shins make contact witht the bar 6) chest up 7) push your hips forward
Do you or does anyone have a suggestion of someone that makes videos covering full workouts. I'm getting back into working out after 12 years I was a bodie builder before I shattered my back so I need suggestions on how to move and adjust in certain ways just how you have it in this video. Last thing I need is to hurt myslef again after so long of not lifting.
I still have yet to do a deadlift. I got a hernia a few years ago lifting too much (a bed frame at fedex) and the thought of going through that pain again scaries me.
Everybody gangsta until Jeff starts doing lengthened partials on the deadlift
I LOVE SCIENCE 😍😍😍

Perhaps because this exercise is the number one cause of back injuries in the gym. So people don’t like to recommend it universally.

Best tip I ever had for deadlift, was to focus on lifting your chest/arms at the start, not with your legs. Changed my form so much for the better.

Wish I saw this 2 days ago… my back and shoulders and dead rn. My gym buddies are apparently all wrong with form, so thanks for sharing lol
A game changer for me was to make sure your knees/legs are touching your arms when pulling up. When doing that everything felt tight and solid.

Great form here Jeff... make it look too easy

To lift 15 to 50 lbs heavier, use hook grip. You don't really need feeling in your thumbs anyway.
keeping the bar against your legs. I was beginning to suspect this, but never actually heard this cue until now. Thanks.

I only find a need to use the reverse grip when deadlifting over 400lbs without straps. Besides that I usually stick with front over grip.
