1) Pull the slack out of the bar 2) Brace (you can brace at the top if you like, but before you do #3) 3) Pull/Drive the hips in 4) Brace the lats (not shoulders down and back per se, but really activate those lats) 5) Drive the hips through
I injured my back in a car accident (at 22 years old) and was in chronic for years until I started deadlifting. Now (at 27) this is the first time I can live day to day without being in consist pain. If it weren’t for people like this, who make this information freely and widely available to everyone, I never would have thought to try it, nor would I have ever been able to do it safely. Thank you guys, and to everyone else on the Internet getting these useful and knowledgeable resources out there. You truly have given me a better life.
Similar for me. I believed the lie that squatting is bad for my knees my whole life. Go figure, the activities I participated in have caused a lot of damage and pain to my back and knees because I never trained them. (I was the guy who didn't skip leg day...because it was never on the schedule. I'd just run) I did physical therapy for the last 4 years, and was cleared to do actual strength training 5 months ago. I can now deadlift 275 and squat 205. I'm pretty proud. And love leg day. If I could tell anyone anything about physical training it would be ALWAYS include strength training for whatever sport you're doing. Don't believe the lie "squatting is bad for your knees." NOT squatting is bad for your knees.
These old videos were gold , every video was informative and entertaining, and the guests were the best of the best, love coming back and watching them
Listen, I herniated 2 disc last summer. I had epidural shots, physical therapy, and chiropractic care. It took months for me to even be able to function without pain. I deadlifted 2 week ago for the first time since I hurt myself, and I haven’t had any pain since. I throughly believe it is the pump of the muscle stabilizing my spine, along with strengthening the muscles. Trust me, deadlifts will help everything.
This guy really just helped me a great deal because he used some differently terminology than I am used to hearing. "Wedging" under the bar really helped me with a visual que. Thank you so much guys. Mark always a pleasure.
Great video. I've watched several videos on deadlift including the Ed Coan video, and a video by Swede Burns in an attempt to improve form. This video absolutely pulls it all together.
Wow--I really liked the simplicity of this. Big thumbs up. I almost gave up on conventional deads in favor of 100% sumo because I have so much difficulty getting as straight a spine as I think I should. These simple cues are really helping me get into a better starting position (I do video myself periodically). Keeping tension throughout, and ending with that LAT CUE--that is resulting in a pretty straight back! Finally! I also like the idea of focusing more on hip and glute thrusting as opposed to "pressing through the floor" cue which hasn't been giving me the best results. Great, great, video.
Definitely one of my favourite videos that you guys have done, recently found Chris Duffin on UA-cam via watching his video with Stan Efferding, instant fan. I do love to rack pull, though I haven't quite gotten to doing full deadlifts much, maybe twice in the past couple of months. Mostly because I am coming off surgeries on both knees from last year and deadlifting is still a bit, sensitive on the knees, whereas rack pulls I can get some good strength benefits and my knees feel fine.
PLEASE give steps for front squat, LOVE your steps for squat and dead..USING THEM/FEELS GREAT! Especially feel the lats are really helping both a lot. Not sure how to use with front squat. My back thanks you so much brother, best squat video ever/anywhere!
Very helpful info, I’m browsing a lot more videos that go over the proper form of deadlifts as well but this one actually went into more detail, so thank you again
9:38, John's toes extend off the floor indicating an off balanced barbell pathway. Potentially, he has reduced ankle or knee mobility, reduced quadricep/hamstring strength from the lift off to knee pass phases. However, it seems more likely that his hip joint begins too low, which increases the moment arm b/w the barbell and hip joint (not biomechanically advantageous)
Súpertraining could you please put more text on during the video for example the five ques. Thx for the video i think its the best out there or it was the first that worked for me
I love Chris duffin , just overall badass! it would be cool to see Dan Green or Massthetics! Thanks for all the info you put out mark it makes young lifters like myself learn alot of stuff and share it with my friends!
Hey, great video. I got a question for you and Chris Duffin. I would like to train Sumo, but the medial aspect of my right knee seems to be bothered by this movement. How can I train to eliminate this nuisance? Tell your brother Chris I said Hi.
I can't being to count how man times I cracked up watching this , whilst learning some finer ques, thanks super training the 2nd strongest gym in the west ;)
Mark do you know what kind of shoes Chris is wearing? I have constant balance problems because of the heels on my trainers so I am looking for a flat shoe for powerlifting. Thanks!
Awesome content! Chris is a great teacher! But yo, fix your annotation boxes to be when your links actually pop up. Not a minute before. Easy fix, just slide them back a bit.
Lol, when he mentioned about doing barbell rows, I remembered a video where he randomly picked up a bar loaded with like 500 pounds from another person who was deadlifting it, and rowed it like butter for I believe 8 or so reps. Beaaast!
like it can u still get power magize subscription or is it just all computer based stuff?ID LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT POWERLIFTING ASOSIATION IS JUST WRAPS FOR KNEES,WRISTS,BELT NO GEAR ALLOWED NO SHIRT,NO SQUAT SUIT NADDA JUST NATURAL....
thank you very much and plus ive been looking everywhere powerlifting usa mag no where barnes and noble use to carry..and they regulate type belt wraps and wrist straps?the old days just cut out and join powerlifting and it gave meet places dates from mass to California...I did long island classic only long time ago judges are weird .
Breathe such that your stomach and sides are forced to expand, rather than your chest expanding, shoulders/collarbones rising. This done, perform the valsalva manouever: attempt to exhale against a blocked airway. Close your throat and try to squeeze the air out of abdomen; your core is now braced. You'll know you've done it properly because just standing, unladen, you'll feel this procedure force your lower spine straight. Duffin actually has like 3-4 videos on just this, although I think they're unlisted atm
1) Pull the slack out of the bar
2) Brace (you can brace at the top if you like, but before you do #3)
3) Pull/Drive the hips in
4) Brace the lats (not shoulders down and back per se, but really activate those lats)
5) Drive the hips through
You're the champ!
Drive the hips through, I call it " take it baby" move, in spanish, "tome chichi" move. Best cue for my trainees.
Tho the shoulders do get pushed down a bit when activating lats
@@whatigame right, you must have heard what Mark Bell said. He said @6:14: "trying to shove your shoulders downward" and Chris agreed.

Chris Duffin will be able to pick up his 800+lb grandchild.
Cole Stevenson 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well done 😂😂😂
Bruh😭😭 💀
And rep it😎

hahahaha the emo mark bell was wonderful
I fucking died lol
Literally paused it and laughed. Brilliant!
I lol’d so hard lmao.
This is by far the best queue video I’ve seen for deadlifts. It’s brought up my technical efficiency significantly
I can't watch a closeup of Dufin, he looks so intense i'm afraid he might punch me through the screen
chuck norris is Afraid of Chris Duffin !
athena.indigo
Had me 😂 at comment
Chris Duffin looks like a lumberjack fused with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
The "wedge" tip increased my technique significantly. I was stuck at 380ish lbs and finaly got to 405 by using that tip. Next goal is the five hundo
It is wild how instantly that made me "understand" the deadlift. Hope you got to 500
This was amazing, loved this video.. anyone who deadlifts should pay close attention to this!
***** That does not mean that people can still not take a lot of great points from this video. Dont be ridiculous
+epzy some people should know the basics of bench as well. Watch urself when u drop a bar on ur chest like that.
+epzy where are they supposed to learn the basics, or learn new cues, other then videos like this?
5:00 the holy grail of deadlift set-up advice
Great video. I've watched several videos on deadlift including the Ed Coan video, and a video by Swede Burns in an attempt to improve form. This video absolutely pulls it all together.
Probably the best deadlift video I've ever seen. Explanation was really easy to picture in my mind. Thanks Mark for the videos!

Duffin is my lord and savior.
Emo Mark was the best thing i've seen all week.
I love these tutorials/guides/breakdowns/tips
Best that exists without going to a seminar in person
Five Finger Death Punch, Whiskey and Deadlifts. 3 of my favorite things. So much info in this video this is awesome.
Definitely one of my favourite videos that you guys have done, recently found Chris Duffin on UA-cam via watching his video with Stan Efferding, instant fan.

Chris duffins explanation of bracing, squatting and deadlifting have ridiculously helped me
Just starting doing deadlifts. GREAT INSTRUCTION!!!
sweet!!!!!, thanks supertraining team!!
Mr. Bells mobility has gotten 1000x better. That sumo looked awesome! Keep grinding!
Very helpful info, I’m browsing a lot more videos that go over the proper form of deadlifts as well but this one actually went into more detail, so thank you again
This is the single most important technique video that one must see and follow.
Chris makes so much sense with everything he says
yeah. he's very well spoken and logical with everything he explains.
I want to know more about his background and who he learned the most from - dude has cues and subtle techniques coming out his ears.
He was our validictorian, makes sense hes mastered communicating his passion.
Isn’t he an engineer
My wife watches Korean drama and I’m watching this second time already. Awesome content guys! Kudos!
Crazy great video. In fact already one of my favourites.
This will help me aswell as many other people a LOT!
Thank you guys so much!
This one was really funny. Whoever did the drop-ins, good job!
5:32 Mike that bulking going well i see ;) ;)
Cold
Keep coming back to this, good informative fun video💪😊

was waiting for this ever since the squatting video with chris, thanks mark as always for the great content!
I usually press like on your videos before I even watch them, since I already know they are gonna be awesome.
Love your content!
Great advice keeping it simple with 5 easy rules to follow on every deadlift! TY!
Chris Duffin is a fucking beast. \m/
another amazing video can't get enough of them. may have to take a trip over to the states to train with you guys.
Súpertraining could you please put more text on during the video for example the five ques. Thx for the video i think its the best out there or it was the first that worked for me
I love Chris duffin , just overall badass! it would be cool to see Dan Green or Massthetics! Thanks for all the info you put out mark it makes young lifters like myself learn alot of stuff and share it with my friends!
Revisiting this video here in 2k19, still the best deadlift guide ever
Bend forward, pull like row, , breath before hip wedge, lock lays, don’t pull bar, wedge hips through
Brilliant video as always. would be sick to see massthetics go down to ST
I wonder why massthetics got all pissy and stopped talking about conjugate.?
They answered all the questions on conjugate with videos and people are still like "tell me that thing you told me in the video"
nah
he's so skinny he could enter the gym without opening the door
It would be more like going up to ST haha
Duffin does a great job on cuing - focus on getting hips wedged was unique.
Awesome video very informational keep them coming mark !
Incredible content as always.
Mark does such a good job of highlighting the best
That was a great vid, some hilarious moments as always. The Duff-miester is awesome, I think I'll be checking out the Kubuki portal for sure!
Where can I download the opening song
God bless you Smelly for these awesome vids!
Been waiting forever for this video. Favorite one on the channel
Just deadlifted yesterday, but gotta do it again today now!!!
What muscle pull the weights up 🦵 or back?
오아아ㅏㅏㅏ 진짜 멋진 비디오에요. 마크 벨 고마워요. 늘 당신 유투브 채널에서 팟캐스트도 듣고 운동 동기부여를 받곤 합니다
Guys, amazing videos, I appreciate all this great content.
Damn I miss this kind of videos from ST
Thanks. Very instructive.
Awesome video - love this guy
thanks for making this video. this helped me a lot.
Another brilliant and informative video. Thank you
Hey, great video. I got a question for you and Chris Duffin. I would like to train Sumo, but the medial aspect of my right knee seems to be bothered by this movement. How can I train to eliminate this nuisance? Tell your brother Chris I said Hi.
Bend at waist, pull on bar, brace, cue the lats, wedge the hips in (weight should lift off the ground here through the hips).
self note
Duffin is definitly the most badass human creature on earth.
chris duffin is a swole Zach Galifianakis.
I like how he lifts the bar setting up.
I can't being to count how man times I cracked up watching this , whilst learning some finer ques, thanks super training the 2nd strongest gym in the west ;)
What's the title of the opening song ? it's pretty dope !
Mama said knock you out by five finger death punch
Aha 6 years later i am back.
From 3 wheels to 6 wheels.
Thankyou Mike and Chris for this video!
Now excuse me, I gotta revise my lesson
Great video guys!! I rly want to se the Duffinator on a platform!
So stoked he said harms way and trains with the guy that sings for the band
What is the intro music ?
Silent Mike has come a long way since then! He's not about to open his own gym in Sacramento!
Flashback to high school football days when my coach had us tighten our belts as much as possible 🙃
One of the few FFDP covers I actually like lol
this was awesome! thank you so much for this!
Mark do you know what kind of shoes Chris is wearing? I have constant balance problems because of the heels on my trainers so I am looking for a flat shoe for powerlifting. Thanks!
6:29 is one of the best mark moments in st UA-cam history
Awesome content! Chris is a great teacher! But yo, fix your annotation boxes to be when your links actually pop up. Not a minute before. Easy fix, just slide them back a bit.
Lol, when he mentioned about doing barbell rows, I remembered a video where he randomly picked up a bar loaded with like 500 pounds from another person who was deadlifting it, and rowed it like butter for I believe 8 or so reps.
Beaaast!
I love Mark, Chris and MORRISSEY!
Awesome video!!!
Hi how did you fix your shoulder pain ?
more great content ST....keep it up guys!!!!!!!!
Mark does that ring make it uncomfortable to wear when lifting? What brand/model is it? I would appreciate a response from someone.
It's made from rubber or silicon. My brother has one, it's very comfortable he reports and he does strongman and Highland games stuff with his on.
any tricks on keeping me from shooting my hips first?? been doing this for a few years now and still can't calm that sh*t down!
LMAO@Dan Green and Zahir at 3:53. Dan's like "dat spine tho".
Who is doing that cover of LL cool J at the beginning?
first song?
like it can u still get power magize subscription or is it just all computer based stuff?ID LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT POWERLIFTING ASOSIATION IS JUST WRAPS FOR KNEES,WRISTS,BELT NO GEAR ALLOWED NO SHIRT,NO SQUAT SUIT NADDA JUST NATURAL....
thank you very much and plus ive been looking everywhere powerlifting usa mag no where barnes and noble use to carry..and they regulate type belt wraps and wrist straps?the old days just cut out and join powerlifting and it gave meet places dates from mass to California...I did long island classic only long time ago judges are weird .
You're putting out the best informational videos...thanks smelly
Great stuff
Vote for Silent Mike to go back to being silent.
great video!
what is the song of the beginning? thanks
So much info, had to watch this over again because my brain turned to mush in parts
What was the name of that song in the beginning?
He guys, what song is played at the start of the video?
Tried this today and it transformed my deadlift
What does it mean to 'brace' the abs? Like pressing oxygen and holding it, causing pressure for the move?
It's when you flex your abs, like when someone is about to bunch you in the guts.
Breathe such that your stomach and sides are forced to expand, rather than your chest expanding, shoulders/collarbones rising. This done, perform the valsalva manouever: attempt to exhale against a blocked airway. Close your throat and try to squeeze the air out of abdomen; your core is now braced. You'll know you've done it properly because just standing, unladen, you'll feel this procedure force your lower spine straight.
Duffin actually has like 3-4 videos on just this, although I think they're unlisted atm
Does anybody know what song this is on the intro?
