Worked the pinch grip DL into my routine yesterday. Forgetting what muscles it targeted, I woke up this morning like "Why is my upper back so sore???". Feels good!
Excellent video. I bought my first weights in 1965. Your form is perfect and those who follow you will rarely be injured. I thought everyone had forgotten about the Jefferson deadlift. When I started standard weight sets were what were commonly available. The 25 lb. standard plates were the heaviest carried by stores then. What was nice about that was that the pull started with the bottom of the bar 4" from the ground rather than 8" when using Olympic plates. To get more range with Olympic plates stand on wooden blocks. Sections of carpenter's staging makes some durable blocks. To get enough weight on a standard bar I removed the chrome sleeve and moved the collars in toward center.
Just want to note that when using a sumo stance to deadlift, while the body may be behind the bar, the bar should remain under the scapula when pulling. This is the most advantageous position. If you peep Brandon's position from the side at 1:22, the bar is right under them shoulder blades like it should be. Buff Dudes don't make mistakes. I just think it's a beginner cue that's often not mentioned.
The quality and value of all your videos is so damn high. Informative, but still entertaining. Such a big fan of this channel and your new ones. You two really show that hard work pays off.
Fun fact when deadlifting you should always be looking with your head directly in front of you when coming up and down. Greatly helps to prevent shoulder and peck injury.
3:05 "The Jefferson Deadlift!" By the video thumbnail, I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE!!! But this seems like A LEGIT MOVEMENT! It functions like a trap bar if you don't have one! You get the same benefit of a trap bar, a more vertical orientation!
I for one liked the helping band deadlift variation. So when you pull off the ground, it's 20kg less, and as you go up, the weight increases, when you lock, you have the full weight.
A variation I like that is sorta like that last variation (Steve reeves?) is the snatch grip deadlift. Wide grip on the bar, tight upper back. Sit low as if youre performing a full snatch, but only bring the bar to your hips. I really like it as a warm up for oly lifting or accessory at the end of heavy deadlifts.
So when is the world tour? You should take your passion and expertise into the world! Good job Dudes, I really like your vids and learn a lot. Thank you so much.
Awesome video, I will definitely try Jefferson, suitcase and rdl in the next couple days. There are a couple you can keep but outstanding video just the same. I really like conventional with double overhand grip right now but am looking for a few variations.
If you just wanted to train with deadlifts, how would you do that? How many sets and reps would one do if they wanted to just train for strength using five or six deadlift variations?
I started working out 3 to 5 months ago and I been getting more lean but don't see as much more buff , I heard about less weight and more reps is better for mass and heavy weight less reps is for strength, my mentor tells me not to take creatine to gain muscle but not sure .. any tips ?
So what up with these new shirts, dudes? After more than a year of following you guys and staying steady in the gym and in the kitchen, I'm finally ready to start rocking a BUFF DUDES T in public without embarrassing myself. Nice that there's a bunch of options now!
+Josh Johnston Awesome dude, congrats on staying steady. That is what it is ALL about. Working on two more tanks/t's that we'll make public before year's end.
so, I tore my hamstring a few months ago, and that has lead to imbalances in my hamstrings and lower back. I can feel my left side (healthy side) doing more work than the right side, although my right ham is healed. Will the one sided deadlift help correct this imbalance?
again awesome vid.. I would like to also include explanation of what muscle does every variation target.. E.g. Romanian targets more you hamstrings, or classic deadlifts lower back.. anyway thanks again..
I usually do RDL's like you guys, but I've also seen them where you have to go all the way down to the ground with the weight (but with less knee flexion than a conventional deadlift). Is it better to go down with a RDL to just below your knee line, or should you go all the way down?
Do you have any tips on how to keep the back straight? Every Time I do the deadlift, I always worry about keeping my back straight and it messes with mentally.
Yeah..i think they wanted to get those couple of odd ones in there so they omitted those other more well known ones..ill probably wind up trying the Jeffersons and definitely will do the pinch grip ones..
dumb question. Did deadlifts in college. had a friend that had us do them with the feet on a platform so you had to reach further down for the bar. he called those rdls. but every thing I have seen never mentions them. are they a good lift or bad lift? I am just getting back in the gun after almost 10 years of not working out and needing help
What your friend had you doing is called deficit deadlifts, and they are not suitable for beginner lifters since they pose a high risk of injury (hell, if you're never going to compete in powerlifting, you don't ever need to do them). As a beginner, your best bet is the Trap Bar Deadlift. It's the easiest to get the hang of and has the lowest injury risk. If you don't have access to a trap bar, then just stick with conventional and sumo deadlifts as they have plenty of tutorials online on how to do them properly. Then once you've built up some strength on them (315+lbs), look up some videos on the Jefferson Deadlift, Behind The Back Deadlifts, and block pulls. These will take your gains further (once they slow down when you're no longer a beginner).
Great video. Add 11 or as an alternative to 10: The Snatch Grip DL. Beside the glutes and hamstrings your upper back will scream.
And grip n
jefferson deadlift..... aka the nut crusher
+john doe That sounds WAY better than Jefferson Deadlift.
hallelujah brutha buff!!!!
I've got long af arms so not for me
Weird flex but ok
Worked the pinch grip DL into my routine yesterday. Forgetting what muscles it targeted, I woke up this morning like "Why is my upper back so sore???".
Feels good!
So glad he’s back!Used to be my go to Channel.
Seeing as deadlift is my all time favorite exercise, this is now the best video on youtube if you ask me!
I like your thinking..

As a boxing trainer, I'm going to study the benefits of the Jefferson deadlift since it resembles the fighting stance. Thanks a lot, bro!

How are called those 'separate rack legs' on 2:30, anyone, please?
Brandon's like a buff Obi-Wan Kenobi
Yup. No doubt!

Awesome video, I will definitely try Jefferson, suitcase and rdl in the next couple days. There are a couple you can keep but outstanding video just the same. I really like conventional with double overhand grip right now but am looking for a few variations.
What's your opinion for the best workout routine for a bjj/judo guy. Thanks.
Thank you
overhead press and pull ups variations!
the one with chains is beast
If you just wanted to train with deadlifts, how would you do that? How many sets and reps would one do if they wanted to just train for strength using five or six deadlift variations?
good day thank you for upload . Why the chains variations? is any difference compared to put some more plates ?
What about deficit deadlift?
what's that stand they load their bars and plates on, called?
i only have power blocks, can i still get a good workout doing romanian, and trap bar deadlifts with them???
I started working out 3 to 5 months ago and I been getting more lean but don't see as much more buff , I heard about less weight and more reps is better for mass and heavy weight less reps is for strength, my mentor tells me not to take creatine to gain muscle but not sure .. any tips ?
the beard is onpoint!
Damnn unreal quality,what camera are you guys using?
So what up with these new shirts, dudes? After more than a year of following you guys and staying steady in the gym and in the kitchen, I'm finally ready to start rocking a BUFF DUDES T in public without embarrassing myself. Nice that there's a bunch of options now!

+Buff Dudes thought reg park did that last one
+bimal stinson No, it was Steve Reeves.
Offtopic: I have a little bit of gluteal amnesia. Heavy deadlifts are the best to reactivate the glute function it or hip thrusts do this job better?
Very good
so, I tore my hamstring a few months ago, and that has lead to imbalances in my hamstrings and lower back. I can feel my left side (healthy side) doing more work than the right side, although my right ham is healed. Will the one sided deadlift help correct this imbalance?
again awesome vid.. I would like to also include explanation of what muscle does every variation target.. E.g. Romanian targets more you hamstrings, or classic deadlifts lower back.. anyway thanks again..
I noticed you used a hookgrip on the rackpulls. You should do a video explaining it!
Snatch grip, deficit DL, clean pull.
:46 The ONLY deadlift variation.
Sumo master race checking in.
Sick beard brandon
That pinch grip deadlift if just a variation of snatch grip deadlift, which was over looked your list.
That beard is looking damn good dude!
Hex bar/trap bar deadlifts are the best
Got any variations for OHP
I usually do RDL's like you guys, but I've also seen them where you have to go all the way down to the ground with the weight (but with less knee flexion than a conventional deadlift). Is it better to go down with a RDL to just below your knee line, or should you go all the way down?
Thx!
All Deadlift exercise great
Do the Overhead Press next/ Military press
Do you have any tips on how to keep the back straight? Every Time I do the deadlift, I always worry about keeping my back straight and it messes with mentally.

Missed stiff legged deadlifts, speed pulls, and deficit deadlifts off the top of my head
