Cool to see such cut-and-dry answers. "Hips raised first? That usually means weak glutes." Might be cool to do a video for each of the core lifts explaining what happens with each weak point. Like, in the bench - go down the list of how weak lats/traps/pecs/shoulders/triceps present themselves. Could be a big help
Pushing my knees out on squats has made a huge difference for me in them just feeling better and more powerful and definitely feel it in my glutes more now
Does matt have a similar video for conventional? I recently switched from sumo to conventional and im struggling with technical difficulties over 500 and i really feel its becoming a massive hindrance around 550+.
Great information. I train as a powerlifter but don't compete because I know that I have weaknesses. At 56 years old and 6'4" I know I have weak spots and would love someone to point these out to me.
speaking of deadlifts I’ve seen it twice but I can’t find it anymore does anybody know what competition they had the leverage Deadlift? it was a straight bar that had the weight at one end and multiple handles that the competitor was going from the beginning of where the weight was to farther along the bar making it harder and harder?
If you're talking about a form breakdown in the Squat where the hips shoot up first and the Squat ends up looking like a Good Morning, I'd say that one is due to weakness in the Quads. Squat is a more Quad dominant movement; you're going through a greater amount of flexion/extension there than in a Sumo Deadlift. In my experience, the hips shoot up in a Squat because the Quads are struggling to extend with the weight leveraged against them in good form, so the hips shoot up *without* the upper back because its mechanically easier on the Quads...though it makes it that much tougher on the low back. For Sumo Deadlifts, the Quads aren't under nearly as much stress as they are in the Squat; just look at the bend in the knees and how that compares to a Squat. As such, if he drives up and his hips shoot up first, it's because his back/ posterior chain is lagging relative to the quad strength. The quads are able to pull through the movement quicker than the rest. That's my take on it, hopefully it's helpful. TLDR; when hips shoot up in Squat, it's because the Quads can't handle the weight leveraged against them. When they shoot up in DL where the quads are in a much stronger position, it's because the back/posterior chain is struggling more.
I would move the finger over a little, dry the t-shirt a little longer, and when I drink water only tilt it to a 45 degree angle. This will add 50-63 pounds to any deadlift. His weakness is he tilts his water bottle to like a 61 degree angle, ok?
Biggest issue I feel on lighter weight is getting set up soo tight that you accidentally pull the weight off the floor before you mentally commit to the pull. It gets me a lot under 300lbs.
hahaha, thats funny. I asked him on instagram what his favourite cut of beef is and what ground beef he eats daily and he said I have to buy the nutrition manual. Someone else responded and let me know I should sign up for patreon, then we got blocked. clown
Seems like sometimes Wenning over coaches and reads a little extra into certain little bobbles here and there. The 5 plate pull looked just like Cailer Woolam, and a lot of top sumo guys who are pulling explosively. It’s not that they aren’t taking the slack out, and it doesn’t seem to hurt their top end strength. For some guys being smooth isn’t helpful. Popping the bar hard at the start can get the flex off the floor to get the hips open and close to the bar, but can also catch you with the reverb of the whip.
Well it might work for them, but they might also all end up getting hurt over and over again like Cailer. Matt Wenning is usually all about longevity, not getting hurt by using perfect technique.

Look up their conjugate articles, you can find in the "maximal effort" selection some figures where they list just what you want
You mean articles on elitefts website?
join his patreon for that😂
@@pretty_flaco exactly 🔥
yes, every technique fault is a muscle weakness.
no one coaches like this outside of WSBB shills
Matt is the best when it comes to these videos! 🔥
Great Coach, great student as well...the guy picked everything up instantly
Thanks! So I need to and I quote "blast the hamstring, the glutes, the lower back". This was really insightful, learned a ton.

Great video, more like this please.
Foot pressure, using a tripod cue is something that's always helped me with squats and deads
These videos with Wenning have been great
🏆🏆🏆
Wenning such a good coach
Matt, you're a tremendous coach.
🙏🙏🙏
Killer instruction all around 🤟
Just very very cool. Thnx.
Great video.. thanks.

This level of detail is gold dust !!!

@@WenningStrength Im serious its so valuable to an old bird coiming back from back injury trying to deadlift again!!

Awesome video. Thanks!
Swede’s younger brother? Nice video Matt. Stay strong.

How would this compare to a good morning squat, where I've seen (and personally experienced) training quads helped correct this?
Hit up the patreon brother

I used to do it but focusing on arching my back helped

I thought wow Matt’s gym looks way different than I realized this is on elitefts and not wenning strength

As a former patreon member I´m wondering why this is for free and not behind a paywall. I´m also wondering why he´s not bashing someone in this video?
like Ed Coan recently said about him. This mans goal is not to help and educate people, this mans goal is to make money

@@danielghesquiere2000 omg that was you?! I remember seeing him respond with the patreon link and just shook my head lmfaooo
Glad someone said it
What does acutally "dont dont squat your deadlift" mean then?
For once Matt Wenning isn’t trying to charge us $400 for his information that we could get for free 🖤

When you get a 700lb puller to pull 5 plates at rpe 9 you know your talking mince
yes. same with 405. both reps looked almost the same and he goes on and on about his cueing making a difference lmao
Sweet rocking chair!
Damn them plates are sexy
I can only warn you not to sign up for patreon. That's the rudest person I've ever dealt with

For some reason this guy looks so mad at Matt throughout these vids
I think he’s struggling a little to breathe

Show me someone with a full head of hair that can DL 700+ …..does not exist.
That red rocking chair looks so out of place, matt isn't that old is he?!
maybe his body i beaten up… join his patreon and ask him😂
the chair is Dave's - its the Washed Up Meathead Chair !!

I'd be telling Matt no to sumo. Find another way.
