    This was a great video to remind people how to properly deadlift! Great job Squat university! I commonly see these faults coaching and training beginners who have never touched a barbell before. It’s amazing what simple verbal or tactile cues can do to fix a persons problem! The key is in the repetition and the consistent practice for optimal follow through. My favorite cue is activating and fire your lats to stiffen up your back and create stability! I also like using the cue “imagine the barbell scraping your thigh” throughout the entire lift.

    Great vid I’ve been heavy lifting for the first time in a while and the deadlift is quite a tough exercise I was terrified of how poor form can cause injuries but I watched vids like this constantly during training to perfect my form keeping your shins close to the bar bend over then push until your shins touch the bar putting hips into position push your chest through straightening your back legs to the side next to your forearms lift up keeping contact with the legs and following it down I’m still trying to find my weight 65kg seems like a challenge but I may try heavier although my abs are rather weak so I might have to continue with weights I’ve used to get my and used to these compound lifts

    Can you please do a video regarding the deadlift and different body proportions?
    Can everyone regardless of body proportions do the DL safely and effectively from the floor?
    I don't know if I need to perform my DLs elevated, because I try and follow all of your instructions, but I still feel my back working way too much and don't feel much in my glutes. I have long legs and a comparatively bit of a short torso. Or perhaps I need to switch to sumo?
    I've learned a lot from all your tutorials regarding the deadlift (and thank you so much for that!), but I'm struggling to figure out, how not to overload my low back and instead work my glutes and grow my strength safely.
    I hope you see this and send some help my way! Keep up the great work!

      So a conventional deadlift will usually be posterior deltoid over the bar where as an Olympic lifting deadlift will be slightly forward so more so arm pit over the bar - this blog explains it in much more detail: vaughnweightlifting.com/2022/07/11/start-position-snatch-clean-vs-conventional-deadlift-the-basics/

    @antonpwr 11 місяців тому

    The lats work by pulling on the humerus in adduction, less by shoulder extension. if you roll shoulders forward and down your lats will be in a much stronger position to hold your arms in place. Combine this with flexion in your upper back and you have a very strong position.
    If you try to make your upper back ”straight” while pulling back into your lats, you will have most of your upper back muscles in a shortened position , good luck using the force of your scapulae to hold a heavy deadlift without risking injury. Do not pull your shoulders back. Keep a steady position and push from the floor (which also deadlift panda talks about).
    Tip 1 will make you weaker, not stronger. Your reflections on these dudes tips aren’t even the same conclusions.
    Mitchell Hooper (which is the worlds strongest man and a very successfull physiotherapist) explains this clearly in his seminars.

    Do you have any videos on lumbar spinal compression issues? I’ve been doing the bracing, but any time I lay on my back for bed, I wake up in pain. It takes a couple hours before I can even bend over even with the core bracing. Quads especially my rectus seems very stiff constantly and can’t get it to release but I feel that is what is pulling me to a more anterior tilt

Is it ok for the thoracic spine to be that rounded when pulling the bar from the floor?

      For some yes - the thoracic spine is different anatomically than the lumbar spine so some rounding there is still considered okay.
