Alan Thrall gave me a great tip to prevent the hips shooting up (on his video channel mind you) and that is to pre-load the hamstrings before you push off with your feet. You grip the bar, set your hips and then push with your feet a bit until you feel your hamstrings engage with the weight before you push with your feet. This cue ensures that you don't shoot your hips up, especially on the big lifts. Good luck everyone!
3 VIDEOS IN 3 DAYS Do your hips shoot up when you deadlift? Well let's fix this shit. Using Eli from ZNA Productions as a real life example, I walk you through the reasons and how to actually fix this problem. And he hits a PR! Shout out to Eli for doing this video. Make sure to check out the video I did with him, smashing zombie skulls with real weapons: ua-cam.com/video/SNoTrpKrNCY/v-deo.html
Omar, where can I send you a vid of my squat and dead to make sure I'm doing it right. I'm 185 and have a 380 squat and 425 dead. No injuries yet but I would like to keep it that way.
+OmarIsuf I wouldn't mind a little more detail on the hip activation exercises as well as warming up hips before deadlift/squat. I've finally figured that my weak-point is hip mobility, trying new stretches doesn't seem to be helping consistently.
Dude great video, you got my stats wrong though. I'm 3'2", 550 lbs. I'm sure I'll hit that 2x bodyweight deadlift someday though! It was awesome getting to meet one of my favorite fitness UA-camrs. It's a funny thing meeting all the people you watch on the daily, and having to pretend you're chill about it cause you're a UA-camr too lol. Couldn't have had a better time out there if I tried. Let's get something going again real soon. -LeafyisBuff
+Jan Christensen the difference a good coach can make. Us solo lifters doing it on our own are at a definite disadvantage. Takes a lot longer to get shit right. That's why I film my work sets to analyze and have watched tons and tons of tutorial videos.

Wow!! This really helped me at the gym today. I've been struggling with learning how to deadlift and after watching this video I can say I think I might've perfected it. Thank you so much!!!
Hello from Denmark :) So I want to know if my checklist is good, or missing anything. Could you please share your thoughts? Thank you very much and great video mate. 1. Scalpula ahead of the bar 2. The bar is right placed right above the middle of your foot 3. Chest pushed outward, ensuring a straight line through your spine. 4. Knees are bent, but not too low so you are squatting 5. Elbows are locked Right before the heavy lift: 6. Activation of Glutes (your buttcheeks are closed tightly together) 7. Activation of Lats (You push your arms into your armpits) 8. Take a deep breath and hold it! 9. Push your heels through the ground 10. Pull your back up while pushing hips forward.
Wow, one of my fav strength/conditioning e-coaches with one of my fav backyard "black smith" awesome vid man, especially that "You died" Dark Souls reference.
Man you got better and better every year, Right now a shitload of wise words rise when you open you mouth. I really appreciate your tips here. Best of the Regards.
Thank you so much. I lift at night and there are no trainers to see my form. I've never felt any pain from my hip rising but I definitely noticed it and I wanted to see what I should do to address it. I'll put it into use next week. Taking some weight off in the short run is a hell of a lot better than a lifetime injury. Thanks!
I'm 17, 6' 1", 170 lbs, and I deadlifted 405 yesterday with straps and the belt. My upper back bent a little and my hips rise before, thanks this really helps I'm going to focus on form and get it right before I go any heavier now.
@@Laser81. Time flies man, yeah I would say so, I ended up herniated my disc at 19 due to too much heavy deadlifting. Haven’t deadlifted since 2019, never plan on doing it again, I prioritize form now more than ego lifting. I’m 22 now, 6’2”, 185lb. My numbers and size have gone up since then, I’m a much more experienced and better weightlifter since then. Thanks for asking bro
Very nice video. Just want to say a thing about the scapula over mid-foot cue around 5:20 . When I fist saw the thumbnail for this video I thought that "what!? is he going to say that the glenohumeral joint is supposed to be over the bar?" Of-course this is not what you are saying. But for any beginner it may be worth to stress this issue. The scapula is a "big" plate streatching down over your upper back. In the dead-lift, your shoulder will be slightly in front of the plane described by 1) your mid foot 2) the bar and 3) your scapula. This will mean that your arms are not vertical but "stretched backward" at the beginning of the lift; which is an and effect of engaging the lats.

New sub here and I'm so glad I found that video! Really really wanna get a little more into developing strength and last week when I did deadlifts a friend of mine got a disc prolapse... Gonna be super super careful tomorrow when working out! Thanks a lot Omar, already enjoying your content ! :D
I'm new to DL.When i do reps i tend to feel my lower back pumped a lot,not like hurting but big pump.Also before DL my lower back used to hurt a lot.Now my lower back only hurts a little and i feel like dl helped me with that.But is it weird to feel a huge pump in the lower back everytime?No pain involved btw
You should never foam roll your back all the way down like in this video, the lumbar spine doesnt have the kind of protection the thoracic spine does and that amount of pressure can really hurt you
Great vid Omar 👍 can u make a vid of the differnt different set ups with different torso lengths/arms lengths/ femur lengths/ bar paths .. Ect .. That would be very helpful ..
Something I'm struggling with... Deficit deadlift. I try and lower my hips, obviously, because you're supposed to, but think I'm lowering them too far? And feel like I can't find that correct starting position. Feel like I don't want to continue doing them if I'm doing them incorrectly and not getting the starting power/off the floor benefit.
Pretty solid deadlift for a new lifter. I have been at it for about a year (deadlifting for 6 months or so) and have it up to about 350 at 150 lbs body weight. I'm pretty happy with it but would like to get to 400. I have kind of plateaued unfortunately but I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with having been in a cut for the last year. I lost about 60-70 lbs and am currently sitting at about 10-13% bf. I wanted to get sub 10% but I think now I am going to start increasing my calories up and allow myself to get closer to 15% to facilitate muscle growth and strength. I really want to get my squat and deadlift to a respectable spot.
I have a problem of a bit of hip rising, you can see it on my channel, i am a vegan 75kg lifter, i just pulled 180kg, i felt like i could go more BUT my back started to round which means erector weakness and bad technique, still not anything critical.
can you do a video of how to bulk correctly and what workouts to do while working out? I'm about 5'2 at 130lbs with only stomach fat. want to get a bigger upperbody to work on.
Try starting strength 5x5. The three compound lifts bench, squat, and deadlift will sculpt your body. Overhead press is something you want to add as well. Good luck! Remember discipline is the most important part. If you keep at it you'll get results guaranteed
Not saying that i know more than this guy but if you do have long arms and femurs you should try the sumo position where your legs are farther out and your feet are turned out and from there its pretty much the same from there
should i harden both of my lower back muscles or my tight muscles while pulling the weight up? (fyi: about a year before i was required to undergo physiotherapy for my lower back pain (i pushed myself too hard for abs exercises).. thx.. ^-^
He still drives into the bar instead of pulling the slack out of it in his setup. Hence the quick hip rise before the bar moves. Albeit not as exaggerated as before.
Thanks for the content, I'm wondering if deadlifting techniques would be different for woman? I'm newer to lifting and just trying to get good info so I don't build bad habits.
Be sure that until the bar reaches your knees, that you are 'pushing' with your legs, not 'pulling' with your back and arms. The deadlift only turns into a 'pull' once the bar reaches your knees. This mentality should help you out.
I feel it all in my lower back. After the first set I feel it a bit in my glutes but it's so faint. Definitely gotta get the right form before I snap my shit
I may just be overthinking it, but whenever I lift no matter what I do I feel more on my right side. Specifically my right shoulder and right side of my back. Anyone know why?
Thank fk for this video! Almost two years ago I was lifting 315 for 4 sets of 10. I was pushing 475 for my heavy days of 3 sets of 6. And then things started going south. I started having lower back pain. Couldn't even squat without setting off lower back pain. Ended up leaving the gym for over a year. I recently got back into lifting again, and sure as shit I went to go lift 405 for my heavy work. It's been a week now and I've had to completely skip every compound movement in the gym and do only isolation exercises. I can't even jog a couple hundred meters without my lower back ceasing up. My low back is fucked.
that’s so sad to hear. I’m nowhere near your stats and I only started lifting 5 months ago but I see a masseur about twice a month and he does WONDERS for me. He always knows what muscles are tight and what muscles are overworked. I had the same issue with lower back pain, I couldn’t even bend to tie my shoes and he fixed it with massage and good advice. It gets expensive but totally worth it!
Man your natural "how to's" are on point! Well executed explanation as well as information to solidify a stronger technique! Keep dishing out these video's and I'll keep licking.... wait what, I mean liking them hahaha
Great video I'm working back on my form for weeks, my back rounds too often but I'm fixing it. Could you make a video about the belt ? I can't keep a good form with the belt my back rounds everytime
+xMTLKx If you place the belt too low, when you get in the starting position it tends to get in the way. Belt used during deadlifting should be placed slightly higher than normally to prevent this from happening.
I recorded my deadlift (I do sumo now, I feel better at them, but it's true for regular too) but my scapula are in front of the bar, like Eli's. I tried to like sit back more but I was falling backwards, I don't know how to get my dang shoulders back lol.
@omarisuf Hey OMZ! Whats up? Im 6'3 and 81 kg's been working out for 6 months now before I started I was only at 64 kgs. Ive been working on my mobility a lot and my squats are better then ever BUT my DL form is shit. I got long legs and a short upperbody with superlong arms. Any tip? Should I go sumo or conventional? I really need to get the form for DL since its the best exercise ever. Please hit me up!
Question: Is it possible that weak abs could also cause the hips to rise early? I'm 260 lbs. with a 500 deadlift (No Belt) and my form is on point until I get to heavier weight or start to fatigue. That's when I notice that my hips come up much quicker. However, when I can't get the weight up, it is not the lower back, but my abs that felt like they were the point of failure and weren't strong enough (Legs still felt explosive). The first time I attempted 500, I was above the knees and dropped the bar because it felt like I was about to get a hernia. I'm going to focus on tightening the lats more (maybe that will help the abs out), but do you think I should be focusing on ab strength or hip mobility? Any input is greatly appreciated. P.S. Great video btw!
One tips that's helped me tremendously is "It's a push movement, you're pushing with your leg's, not pulling with your back and hips.
But how do you implement that in the lift?
@@user-tt8fg3dd4c treat the first portion like a leg press. Just fucking push the earth down
Alan Thrall gave me a great tip to prevent the hips shooting up (on his video channel mind you) and that is to pre-load the hamstrings before you push off with your feet.

Nice seeing a colab between you two. Thanks for the UL
Some damn solid tips and cues there! I always like to make sure my hamstrings and calves are mobile to deadlift as well
when the glute max is overactive it short circuits the glute min/med then compensates and overloads the back and injury will occur

Nice, here for my viewing pleasure the day before deads.
I need a fix for upper back rounding on the deadlift. I have crap posture anyway.
Be sure that until the bar reaches your knees, that you are 'pushing' with your legs, not 'pulling' with your back and arms. The deadlift only turns into a 'pull' once the bar reaches your knees. This mentality should help you out.
A lifting belt does not make the lift "safer". A belt just allows you to increase intra abdominal pressure, that's it.
reminds me of when you visited Elliot...
You didn't link the bracing video.
I feel it all in my lower back. After the first set I feel it a bit in my glutes but it's so faint. Definitely gotta get the right form before I snap my shit

Hey, can you please link the mobility video? I also have tight hips and hammies.
Thanks for all the information!
@omarisuf Hey OMZ! Whats up? Im 6'3 and 81 kg's been working out for 6 months now before I started I was only at 64 kgs. Ive been working on my mobility a lot and my squats are better then ever BUT my DL form is shit. I got long legs and a short upperbody with superlong arms. Any tip? Should I go sumo or conventional? I really need to get the form for DL since its the best exercise ever.
Please hit me up!
Question: Is it possible that weak abs could also cause the hips to rise early?
I'm 260 lbs. with a 500 deadlift (No Belt) and my form is on point until I get to heavier weight or start to fatigue. That's when I notice that my hips come up much quicker. However, when I can't get the weight up, it is not the lower back, but my abs that felt like they were the point of failure and weren't strong enough (Legs still felt explosive). The first time I attempted 500, I was above the knees and dropped the bar because it felt like I was about to get a hernia.
I'm going to focus on tightening the lats more (maybe that will help the abs out), but do you think I should be focusing on ab strength or hip mobility? Any input is greatly appreciated.
P.S. Great video btw!
Gerard Di Cairano Always do stomach vacuums if you practice heavy lower body lifts.
Perfect dude ,you are like Ph.d of deadlifts
Great Video I will definitely keep these tips in mind.
Great video +OmarIsuf 😍 - this will help a lot!
They're not tight down here, back shoots up L5 shoots fuck out of there back.. and they're done deadlifiting, exactly what happened to me today.
Great info, Omar. Really appreciate your videos and knowledge. Very well put together
