Explained really well, I think deadlifting solely by "pulling" really holds back your full potential. The idea of relating it to the leg press really made a difference for me understanding this technique Thank you!
Having watched many, many videos on DL SQ and BP (by reputable, well known names in the sport) , I struggle to find videos to better my understanding of powerlifting. I often hear the same phrases repeated over and over again yet don’t have a genuine understanding. Just like cues - what works for one person doesn’t work for another. Your video has let me understand this concept. Thanks for the awesome content and clarification!! Going to check out all your other videos now 👍🏻☺️
Oh my lord, if someone had told me you pull the slack out of the bar with ur quads and not with ur arms this wouldve made so much more sense cause ive been doing it wrong the whole time in my almost 2 years of lifting so thank you! Gonna keep this in mind
@@sirvix9024 same mistake even i have been doing it from few months now i have figured it out by looking at your comment and the video again and again 😂
@@MelbourneStrengthCulture definitely much better. Pulling the slack out from the bar keeps my whole body tight. everything else just falls into place afterward lol
I m gonna trying this after one hour..n i will share my views..right now i m desperate to improve my deadlift thats y i m here..millions of thanks in advance😊
So are you pulling slack out with pressing with the legs first then pulling? I always grip and rip. I have a recent deadlift video, I feel like I could break 700 of done correctly. Really trying to learn this technique. Thanks.
@@MelbourneStrengthCulture I thought your arms are supposed to just hang completely straight? Especially for mixed grip pullers cuz they can tear the bicep in the supinated position?
@@MelbourneStrengthCulture Ohhh okay I got you. Just wanted to clarify for anyone that read your comment thinking they should do a bicep curl to pull the slack.
i experiment pulling the slack out as if i would do in a SLDL, and then i drop my hip just a little so that my shins wont push the bar forward, i found that helps add more pounds to the bar, just now sure if it is a "healthy" setup.
Sounds like a solid set up man! If you ever want some advice on form/ technqiue feel free to email us some videos! Always happy to help out! melbstrengthculture@gmail.com
Thanks for the reply boss! Yeah it's been much better, literally, much much better. Me and my PT definitely cracking it. Just need to be quality over quantity.
Makes it so much harder to lift heavy when you pull the slack out. Like a 470 deadlift when I “yank” is like butter. Like a RPE 6. Then if I 470 deadlift and I take the slack out of the bar, it doesn’t come off the ground. RPE 10 and a fail.
@@HalfAryanHunterGatherer yep that’s what I stick with now. Since I’ve tried pulling slack my deadlift has now dropped dramatically in strength. I’m struggling in the low to mid 400s now when 495 was for two, two months ago
i'm the exact way as you.. I lift everything super explosively. I used to do a controlled slack pull and my deadlift never really went anywhere. You're probably very fast twitch dominant.
Then your not pulling slack correct, all pully slack is doing is putting you in a better start position, you can rip all you want to just know that sometimes it can take you out if your starting position
I never pulled the slack out of the bar nor did I breathe correctly while deadlifting and I still managed to pull 445 lbs for a decently hard single before I pulled my lat trying to deadlift 475 lbs. I wonder how much more I could lift in a few months after I get my breathing down and pulling the slack out of the bar?
@@GoodByeSkyHarborLive Yeah but theres more to it as well. I found out that my Lats are weak so I need to strengthen them. I also found out that due to my weak Lats my back will always Roy d no matter how good my technique is.

Thank you!
Absolutely
Tried it just today & I MUST SAY, it improved my form instantly!!!!
I couldn’t believe it
Love it!
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE so its more of actually putting the weight of your bar on your hands then leg pressing

Tysm it all makes so much sense now I’m definitely going to be working on this from now on it’s kinda like leg drive with the bench press
That’s it!
Load the legs!
Really well explained bro. Always take a little something new or look at the same thing from a different perspective from your vids. Cheers
Thanks man, I appreciate that!

Were you using your lats more enough to lift with them?
@@GoodByeSkyHarborLive i made sure to keep my lats tight but didnt know u had to pull the slack out of the bar with ur legs
@@sirvix9024 same mistake even i have been doing it from few months now i have figured it out by looking at your comment and the video again and again 😂
@@tusharhonyalkar7977 fax bro, ever since i started pulling slack out with my legs my form and feeling of the lift has been better
lovely example. gonna try this out for my next dl session. i think i dont pull the slack out before i dl so my back rounds
How did it go?
@@MelbourneStrengthCulture definitely much better. Pulling the slack out from the bar keeps my whole body tight. everything else just falls into place afterward lol

thank u so much for ur help mate.helped me a lot
I used to think you only pull the slack with your arms … thank you
It’s a bit of both!
@@MelbourneStrengthCulture I thought your arms are supposed to just hang completely straight? Especially for mixed grip pullers cuz they can tear the bicep in the supinated position?
@@lennynguyen2620 the pull from the arm happens at the lats, not the elbows
@@MelbourneStrengthCulture Ohhh okay I got you. Just wanted to clarify for anyone that read your comment thinking they should do a bicep curl to pull the slack.
Really really good advice, thank you 🙏🏾

And the breath is before the slack or at the pull time?
Before!
So you're pulling the slack by pushing the floor with your quads? Not purely just pulling on the bar
Yes!
shit, that will help, had a shitty dead sesh today, my bad.....
Thanks bro
How has it been going?
Thanks for the reply boss! Yeah it's been much better, literally, much much better. Me and my PT definitely cracking it. Just need to be quality over quantity.
Nice!
Float the bar? Are you saying split the movement into two instead of one??
Great video mate

grip n rip for lyfe bby 😎

Make sure you’re bracing

What should be the ideal placement of hips? And how does one find it?
I have a tendency to drop them. Not sure what’s the perfect setup for that.
great clip
Thanks for following!
what was your PR at that time? Around 225 kilos?
280kg Conventional
@@MelbourneStrengthCulture 👌 crazy man.
@@MelbourneStrengthCulture same place where JP Cauchy trains?
Do you breath and brace before you pull the slack out? or after? and when do you engage the lats?
I never pulled the slack out of the bar nor did I breathe correctly while deadlifting and I still managed to pull 445 lbs for a decently hard single before I pulled my lat trying to deadlift 475 lbs. I wonder how much more I could lift in a few months after I get my breathing down and pulling the slack out of the bar?
Did you find you use your back more and then when you pull the slack out of the bar you ar using your lats more?
@@GoodByeSkyHarborLive Yeah but theres more to it as well. I found out that my Lats are weak so I need to strengthen them. I also found out that due to my weak Lats my back will always Roy d no matter how good my technique is.
Could you possibly show us the whole deadlift movement with this set up?
what is that platform, and what it made of?

Do you really pull 280 like in the thumbnail?
I have pulled 280 on a texas bar and bumpers, not competition spec.
Nice! Really good channel btw. I hope more people find it and you guys keep uploading out quality.

I thought the push for the conventional comes from the glutes
It does but the quads push the floor first . One the knee nearly extends , then glutes push
Isn’t the point of sumo to shorten the range of motion allowing one to make a UA-cam video with higher weights?
