@@gummy5862 they're saying they count their deadlift weights in pounds and talk about said lifts in kilograms. so if they deadlifted 440lbs, instead of saying I deadlift 440lbs they would say 440kgs.
This was a great video, the almost 7 minute story intro was a lot of fun, the animations used well done, the music was a treat too. In therms of script, edits, presentation and animations I would say one of your best, if not the best videos so far. I am super happy that I saw this channel grow so big. This is very much deserved, for all the hard work you put in.
21:00 thank you for the feature sir! I swear by a reaching style rdl with a pause for mass! Dorian Yates actually coached them the same way. Lately, I have been doing them from a deficit, facilitates more rom, but let’s you reach way further forward as well!
Should've consulted with me on this one, I was an expert at stalling and stagnating on deadlifts and having random good sessions once in a blue moon. (this was the one thing that finally would lead me to hiring a coach)
I am guilty of this… it isn’t the “more is better” it’s the “I’m addicted to working out.” Plus that feeling when you’re under a heavy load is feel awesome to me. Damn you CNS!
your advices are top of the game. I used to be stuck at deadlift for a while but you made me break plateau. I'm 5ft10, I have the legs of a 5ft7 guy and the torso of a 6ft2 guy, deadlift has always been ridiculously difficult for me to the point where my high bar beltess squat matched it. Now with your help I understood that I needed to "squat the bar" and it made the difference. I start with hips lows, shoulder width stance, shoulders above knees, vertical chin, I went from 380lbs DL to 460lbs in 2 months. Cheers
@@jordangodfrey1693 ideal ? Im curious as to why. There are oly weightlifters in my gym. Never tried. Im super strong at frontsquats and pushpress tho so maybe you are right
I followed your other video regarding deadlift where you alternated intensity week to week with 20% reduction on the down weeks going into my last powerlifting meet, ended up going 3 for 3 on deads and pulled the most I had ever deadlifted on the 3rd attempt. Thank you!
I did a deadlift PR after eating super little for 2weeks and did a 12hour workday hauling fridges and washing machines without a work partner. from 8am to 8pm straight to the gym just changed my clothes in the workvan at the gym parking lot and went deadlifting 🤣 Edit: I didnt eat anything that day, only when I got home at 22:00 after the gym was my first meal.
Very good info! Several years back, I had also been battling the lift heavy, do it again and then weeks later wondering why I am getting injured cycle. I've also learned these important lessons the hard way, but the silver lining, I did finally wise up. I am now much more Intune to listening to my body and taking recovery seriously especially now that I am in 40s.
Awesome video!. It took me many years to learn how taxing the deadlift is and to not forget that it is just as important to have enough of days to fully rest and recover. I had a pretty hard deadlift session doing 4x4 then I got sick and had something like 14 days of rest spread of a period of 25 days while recovering from the flu infection. When I got back to training I was so sure that my deadlift had taken a huge hit but turns out all that resting led to an all time personal record. Then I realised how important resting is for deads.
One minute in and I already resonate so much with this. The amount of PRs I’ve had after a night of drinking vs the amount of times I couldn’t even come close to my heaviest pulls despite a good diet and a good nights rest. Weird man!
Heavy back extensions (Pete Rubish style) has for sure made the biggest difference for me. They don’t fatigue me much while i can go high volume and intensity. Hamstring curls have also made a huge difference, there are a lot of gains to be made from knee flexion, don’t only do hip extension for hamstrings. That way i can keep deadlift at low volume and do progress every block.
That's so interesting. I had the opposite relationship with deadlifts. When I first started doing them, I fell in love. I couldn't wait for the days where I deadlifted... until I snapped my back. Luckily, it healed up in about 6 months and I was back at it. Just taking it WAY easier these days. ;)
I am a hobbit build, pretty much. Short arms, short torso, weird ass legs. The guy you talk about that his sessions are just inconsistent (not ALWAYS bad, but just a roller coaster of results and a second roller coaster with how a technique feels)... that's me, pretty much. Started hammering the upper and mid back more as accessories, and the deadlift position became lighter. It's still a struggle, but at least it's a tiny bit more consistent. So thanks!
I have never lifted before now I'm 24 and I just started strength training , I was able to get up to 136 kg or 300 lb in my deadlift conventional in the first 4 months , I'm happy to see it programmed fast
Man this was such a good video, love all the effort you put into every single one. I’ll probably watch this multiple times just to make sure everything is dialed in
my core never activated when i deadlifted and i wondered why my back was rounding :\ now its my best core workout by far, same engagement as if i was doing a plank
Dude your channel is THE fucking best on youtube rn. I have learned so much, even with lifting around powerlifters for well over 10 years. Really looking forward to more videos like this!
I deadlift about every 3 months and whenever I have a strongman competition, over 3 years I've gone from 450 to 640 deadlift. I think your videos have helped a lot with how I can get away with it, understandings how to build the posterior chain with things like stones, rdls, back extensions, and I personally utilize a lot of olympic lifting but I can only clean about 315 so definitely submaximal in comparison to DL. Doubt, this is optimal, but I don't really like deadlifting or how I feel for a week after deadlifting, I like an approach where I can work with submaximal loads 3-4 times a week rather than one big pull every other week.
@brandonyoung4910 maybe I didn't do a great job explaining, I do olympic lifting and atlas stones 3-4 every week as well as some rdls and back extensions none of which go over 400 lbs usually between 225-315 but I deadlift once every three months and it continues to go up, went up from 615 three months ago to 640 a few weeks ago.
This is a great case for low frequency deadlifting and just getting strong AF in the deadlift muscles and you have seen massive progress. 190 pounds is massive progress to the deadlift in 3 years.
have loved volumizing snatch grip deads on my light days. borrowed a sets and rep scheme i saw in an old video of yours where w1 was 3x8, then 5x8, 8x8, drop back and go forward again and then doing eddie halls sixes on my man deadlift days from the floor. this has been my bread and butter for developmental blocks and my back and hips havent been stronger. as i get closer the heavy daygoes to 3s and my snatch grips turns into axel deads. and then peaking because i am an equipped junky his topsets of 3 in the suit on the heavy day and then doing rdls or deficiets raw for 3x8s for keeping some capacity and then my "light day" is axels with tempos using the same weight from the preivious block. has helped me pul 675 raw and 730 in my suit and couldnt be happier
Amazingly well-timed. I'm still recovering from a strained QL after repping a heavier progression from last week. Recorded my form, felt stronger; comparably to the week before's weight - I felt fine over-caffeinated and dissociating - I guess last week was just a big "Whoops". LOL Well-spoken as always man, thanks for the wisdom as well. Cheers!
Been waiting for this one. As a Vibranium souled individual myself, I want to share some things that help me never miss a PR: 1.Train your grip: Bromley has an excellent video explaining that on this channel, I do Double Linear Progression on a Captains of Crush level 1 every other day and so far haven’t needed to step it up. 2. Learn to hookgrip: the sooner the better. Do It. Stay double overhand as long as possible, till it becomes impossible. 3. Work your core: VERY IMPORTANT, don’t leave abs for last because they end up getting half assed. I superset ab wheel or inclined weighted sit-up with a press exercise mid workout. Go beltless for your warm up sets at least, make your core work! 4.chalk is your friend, strap up if necessary, your here to secure the PR not to impress the gym baddies (they’re not even looking 😔), impress them with your 405 for warm up reps on the back end. Grip and rip fellas
Best video on deadlifting I have ever seen. Have been on the same plateau for 3 years now. Can't wait to get to new heights soon! Earned yourself a subscriber
Good job here. I would also add that the ape index ratio is measured to include the shoulder girdle. This means that a narrow shoulder structure can lower that number when the arms may still be long or vice versa. When fighters get their reach measured, they usually measure total wingspan, but sometimes they measure an outstretched arm from the body and then double it. This more accurately shows how far they can “reach”. Deyontay Wilder is an example of someone who has very long arms, but his shoulders are normal to narrow comparatively so his reach is 4.3” longer than his height (6ft7). Sonny Liston was an example of having both, so his reach is 11” longer than his height (6ft1). If your interested in the highest ape index ratio in the UFC at least, it’s Kevin Lee.
You experience with deads has been my experience with squats. As someone who's leverages favour pulls MUCH more over squats, squats have always been a hell of a challenge for me to get "right" It took years of trial and error, successes and failures, to come to a place where I'm actually confident in my ability to squat and enjoy training them because of how challenging and difficult they are for me. By nature, my squat numbers will likely be lower than the average standard for those in my age in weight, but my deadlift and bench certainly make up for it. Besides, it really doesn't matter what the numbers are in the end, it's who you become in the process of refusing to give up and continuing to persevere in the face of adversity.
I am glad that UA-cam recommended this video to me. The best progress I made on deadlift was to deadlift (competition style) less. But now I realised it. I am a short arms TRex, and I think RDL and GM gave me the best results, I still need to buff my spinal erectors cuz isometrics is not enought. Thanks for that video mate
This is one of the best training videos I've ever seen. Excellent content, covers all the questions one would ask in an intelligent and interesting way, superb.
I do a few heavy low rep DL sets on Monday then a few lighter weight medium rep sets on Thursday, with a host of different bracing, hinging, and stability work on both. The next week I do the same thing but with squats instead of DLs and alternate week after week. I've only been seriously training for about 3 months and recently hit a 405 lb DL and 335 lb Squat at 190 body weight
This really was an eye opener, i have been struggeling during deadlift, and can't figure out what i was doing wrong. this video gives me some idea of what to work on and what to do diffirent.
My deadlift its by far my best lift, but recently i've been having horrible deadlift sessions having back pain, and losing lots of stength during workout. But Thanks to you i've realised I been putting to much stress on my muscles that I couldn't fully recover for the next session. Ty
"KUDOS" to you Alexander!!! I like how you describe different body types and how to train your body according to how you are in terms of training. What you are talking about also applies to other muscle training. Your channel is underrated and has too few subscribers, best of luck 2024!
Ive prioritized stiff leg deadlifts and hamstring curls over the last 3 months and my deadlift strength is returning rapidly with decreased low back discomfort.
27:30 scared the absolute shit out of me, I’m sitting in my room watching it on TV with headphones on and thought someone was screaming in the house for a split second 😂😂😂😭
Thank you, I needed this today. I'm built terribly for deadlifts, and I have a bad time recovering from it. I'm 5'5.5 with a 5'1 wingspan and a very long torso. I managed to get a little over 200kg conventional and it ruined my hip. Yesterday I pulled 175kg and it was incredibly difficult. I can squat that weight easier. I'm turning into a lanky subtotal specialist and I just want to pull last.
My pr is 325 lb conventional strapless beltless at 155 lb bodyweight. I never wanted to go above 3 plates because I don’t want to wear the body out or injury myself. Not sure if I could work beyond that plateau anyway, but I think I have a disadvantageous build with shorter arms and longer torso. Ferret build
Side note. High rep compounds with medium weight (or lower tbh) is a FANTASTIC WAY to lower BMI quite a bit. It might be the best way to lose weight tbh. If you find a comfortable 20 rep squat weight, and can do 2 sets, your body will melt away healthily and grow quite strong in the process. Its not strength building, but getting those muscle bellies fatigued and working a solid form will absolutely show process in a few months, maybe even weeks. But personally, if you want big numbers, you have to lift with safety pins, and lift big numbers, 3 reps, almost 100% effort. SAFELY!!!
This vid just popped up on my feed and its been really really fun while also feeling like im really learning something. Really looking forward to getting into your other vids and thanks for uploading!
I vividly remember looking for the secret sauce on deadlift. I’m a decent deadlifter but I had a huge jump in my bench from figuring out some technical stuff. I used to think there was something about my deadlift I could tweak and get that extra 5% in a matter of weeks. Maybe there is maybe there isn’t, but it’s definitely better to just train to get strong and not overthink the rest.
I've was having ocassional trouble breaking off the floor the last 6 months, and lower back flexion when i did get up successfully. Alternating Defecit sessions in to the routine with maybe 70-75% of my normal working weight has helped a ton.
"on a planet I wasn't born on" hahahaha my cursor went over the video and started the preview... I didn't see the video just heard the voice...then I though ...'allllright I'll watch some of the preview' and then was hypnotized until you said the planet bit...burst out laughing (at work) and it was decided... you'll be what I'll have on whilst working ( thumbs up emoji...haha) anyhow ..very entertaining ..thanks lad
I started doing RDLs for the first time about 2 months ago and I pull 2 plates for 10-12 quite easily with strict form and a long eccentric at 158 lbs. There are people at my gym a lot bigger than me that go lighter than that on their RDLs even though I know for fact they can pull much more weight than me.
You build through body mechanics on this one. I used just do the bird drinking water thing. Funny cuz I have a wide wingspan. My fingertips almost touch my knees and I have short legs... maybe 6hats why it was so intuitive for me... I do have a bracing issue and went very slow and never build mass... when I did it hurt my back really bad. Hard to keep it stable and too easy to lean into 1 side to "wedge" and now tight ass psoas. Now I get to learn again at 46. Not going for mass again. My stability at 140 was insane.
Great video that all youngsters should watch and take notes of. I so wish I had this knowledge in my twenties. I never understood why I came crashing down just after being peaked, why I was never able to set a new base or consolidate my gains in especially the deadlift.
Can you make a video on rehabbing from injuries ? I've been training for 10+ years but still don't know what to do at the gym after an injury and how to rehab and build back up.
This is the last of the big 3 that I need to start practicing. I've been lifting for quite some time now and have about all of my newbie gains, some areas are closer to intermediate, but I'm weak at the big 3 so far. I have a wing span just barely longer than I am tall, a long torso, and shorter legs. I've been doing a lot of glute drives, plate loaded hammer strength, and seated leg curls. My hamstrings and glutes are exploding! 315 on the glute drive for 12 reps yesterday and 12 reps on seated leg curls for 190. I will be setting up a legs, push, pull routine after this training block ends. This wag I can recover enough from leg day to squeeze in at least 3 to 4 sets of deadlifts on pull day. Any suggestions for slightly longer wing span, long torso, but shorter legs? I think this is why my dad and brother both have 3 inches in height on me, I got the thicker, stockier build like my grandfather.

My deadlift its by far my best lift, but recently i've been having horrible deadlift sessions having back pain, and losing lots of stength during workout. But Thanks to you i've realised I been putting to much stress on my muscles that I couldn't fully recover for the next session. Ty
"KUDOS" to you Alexander!!! I like how you describe different body types and how to train your body according to how you are in terms of training. What you are talking about also applies to other muscle training.
Your channel is underrated and has too few subscribers, best of luck 2024!
Best fitness UA-camr, easily. Thanks for the all the knowledge Alex!
Ive prioritized stiff leg deadlifts and hamstring curls over the last 3 months and my deadlift strength is returning rapidly with decreased low back discomfort.
Thank you for this. Beautiful video
I can't believe this content is free....great video dude.
27:30 scared the absolute shit out of me, I’m sitting in my room watching it on TV with headphones on and thought someone was screaming in the house for a split second 😂😂😂😭
Incredible content, engaging, great points, all for free. Subscribed.
Thank you, I needed this today. I'm built terribly for deadlifts, and I have a bad time recovering from it. I'm 5'5.5 with a 5'1 wingspan and a very long torso. I managed to get a little over 200kg conventional and it ruined my hip. Yesterday I pulled 175kg and it was incredibly difficult. I can squat that weight easier. I'm turning into a lanky subtotal specialist and I just want to pull last.
"Ruined my hip" is supposed to mean what, you can't walk any more? Or is it just pulled and you cannot go to max right now?
@@donaldkasper8346 it's supposed to mean mind your own business or ask nicely.
@@juliawilliams1355 So you just are bitching online for what purpose?
Really interesting and helpful. Thank you. Much appreciated.
Great video. One of the most insightful ones that I have seen
This video was very humbling, I still have a lot to learn.
I did nothing but deadlifts and pull ups for 2 years and I developed a gait. So I've focused on squatting more and excited to start deadlifting again
My pr is 325 lb conventional strapless beltless at 155 lb bodyweight. I never wanted to go above 3 plates because I don’t want to wear the body out or injury myself. Not sure if I could work beyond that plateau anyway, but I think I have a disadvantageous build with shorter arms and longer torso. Ferret build
Wonderful video, thank you for putting this out there for the world of lifters who need it
Much love
Side note. High rep compounds with medium weight (or lower tbh) is a FANTASTIC WAY to lower BMI quite a bit. It might be the best way to lose weight tbh. If you find a comfortable 20 rep squat weight, and can do 2 sets, your body will melt away healthily and grow quite strong in the process. Its not strength building, but getting those muscle bellies fatigued and working a solid form will absolutely show process in a few months, maybe even weeks. But personally, if you want big numbers, you have to lift with safety pins, and lift big numbers, 3 reps, almost 100% effort. SAFELY!!!
27:25 is a perfect tidbit of knowledge!!!
Not the deadlift video I deserved, but the deadlift video I needed.
This vid just popped up on my feed and its been really really fun while also feeling like im really learning something. Really looking forward to getting into your other vids and thanks for uploading!
I vividly remember looking for the secret sauce on deadlift. I’m a decent deadlifter but I had a huge jump in my bench from figuring out some technical stuff. I used to think there was something about my deadlift I could tweak and get that extra 5% in a matter of weeks. Maybe there is maybe there isn’t, but it’s definitely better to just train to get strong and not overthink the rest.
Very nice in depth video man!
I have a high ape index... It does make deadlifting easy for me but benching not so much 😁
225/465 ganggggg
Same. My bench 1rm is the same as my DL 1rm, but in lbs instead of kg lol. 105kg vs 230kg or 230lb vs 230kg.
Same yet my bench is proportionately significantly better... oops
Absolute best video for the absolute best exercise ever
I've was having ocassional trouble breaking off the floor the last 6 months, and lower back flexion when i did get up successfully. Alternating Defecit sessions in to the routine with maybe 70-75% of my normal working weight has helped a ton.
Superb insights!
I need to start doing more deadlifts I have almost exclusively been doing RDLs and Back squats….
Terrific instructive talk! Thanks
Ty!
Best 40 minutes spent breaking all my stupid preconceived notions
love this video from a content and entertainment perspective
Terrific video Bromley. I found it entertaining, useful, informative, and funny. Please keep doing what you're doing, your channel is a goldmine.
Excellent vid! I discussed this exact topic with a training buddy today who's hit something of a plateau.
Very insightful, Tnx 🙏
"on a planet I wasn't born on" hahahaha my cursor went over the video and started the preview... I didn't see the video just heard the voice...then I though ...'allllright I'll watch some of the preview' and then was hypnotized until you said the planet bit...burst out laughing (at work) and it was decided... you'll be what I'll have on whilst working ( thumbs up emoji...haha) anyhow ..very entertaining ..thanks lad
Great work as usual!!
wow what a video thank you
i feel like the intro described my life... but then i realized it was about you as well.
I started doing RDLs for the first time about 2 months ago and I pull 2 plates for 10-12 quite easily with strict form and a long eccentric at 158 lbs. There are people at my gym a lot bigger than me that go lighter than that on their RDLs even though I know for fact they can pull much more weight than me.
can't wait for the bench press trilogy
You are the best thanks a lot
Great video, gives me more ammo against my friends that wanna max out constantly. Im always recommending your channel to them too 💪
This is such a well presented video, big respect 💪
You build through body mechanics on this one. I used just do the bird drinking water thing.
Funny cuz I have a wide wingspan. My fingertips almost touch my knees and I have short legs... maybe 6hats why it was so intuitive for me... I do have a bracing issue and went very slow and never build mass... when I did it hurt my back really bad. Hard to keep it stable and too easy to lean into 1 side to "wedge" and now tight ass psoas. Now I get to learn again at 46. Not going for mass again. My stability at 140 was insane.
Great video that all youngsters should watch and take notes of. I so wish I had this knowledge in my twenties. I never understood why I came crashing down just after being peaked, why I was never able to set a new base or consolidate my gains in especially the deadlift.
Can you make a video on rehabbing from injuries ? I've been training for 10+ years but still don't know what to do at the gym after an injury and how to rehab and build back up.
Quality once again!
Just deadlifted this evening, timely
This is the last of the big 3 that I need to start practicing. I've been lifting for quite some time now and have about all of my newbie gains, some areas are closer to intermediate, but I'm weak at the big 3 so far.
I have a wing span just barely longer than I am tall, a long torso, and shorter legs. I've been doing a lot of glute drives, plate loaded hammer strength, and seated leg curls. My hamstrings and glutes are exploding! 315 on the glute drive for 12 reps yesterday and 12 reps on seated leg curls for 190.
I will be setting up a legs, push, pull routine after this training block ends. This wag I can recover enough from leg day to squeeze in at least 3 to 4 sets of deadlifts on pull day.
Any suggestions for slightly longer wing span, long torso, but shorter legs? I think this is why my dad and brother both have 3 inches in height on me, I got the thicker, stockier build like my grandfather.
Solid vid, great writing
