Hi Eoin, hi Daire, thank you both for the respectful commentary and attention. To detail. 🙏 your advice looks to be aligned with many others. I'm trying to get my quads to contribute more to this lift and have been using Dave Tates advice on how to do that. I like your explanation of the SSC in the dynamic deadlift setup, I've never heard anyone explain that like you did, so that's helpful to me..I'll try to modify it because it's been unreliable. Also appreciate the suggestion to not do the top set, backoff set schema with deadlifting in particular. I guess it's not an "insert compound lift here" scenario for that lift due to fatigue. All in all great vid and some things for me to try. Unfortunately I can't take you up on your programming offer because I'm prepping for a bodybuilding show now and that takes priority, I'll do my best to fit what deadlifting in I can but can't base a program around that lift if I want to bring my best stage presence. If you're in the Eastern side of the states you're welcome to visit anytime! You guys are really kind and intelligent. 😊
Jon you're a gentleman for taking the time to comment! Best of luck with your bodybuilding show and we'll definitely come visit if we make it stateside 😁
@@sikastrength Dave Tate did an analysis of Juji's deadlift and did a small training with some suggestions and exercise selection in a separate video. Really worth watching if you have the time.
Your confidence just convinced me to purchase your deadlift program. If you lads can get me to a 500 lb. deadlift, I will give all the glory to Sikastan to all 3 of my followers on my social media!
When are you guys going to get some merch in the shop? I want to support the channel but am not in the market for a program. T-shirts and/or sweatshirts would be great.
I did, his sense of humour and skill at creating videos is what popularised Juji. All of the most popular videos on that channel are down to Tom's planning and execution, most vids before he came along have like 50k views max. He was also good at playing the 'normal guy' in comparison to Juji, but still had a good amount of strength and athletic ability so he wasn't totally uninteresting to watch by comparison, and his transformation over the years was nice to see. Juji's videos lately lack direction and polish, they aren't as entertaining, and the views reflect that. Almost every video pre-split performed in views at or WAY above what any successful channel should be doing, ie at least 10% of subscribers as views, and indicative of strong growth. Lately, they've either been barely scraping that level, or significantly below - half the vids have half the views they should. That's purely down to Tom not running things. Sadly with Tom's mistakes and personal issues, it had to come to an end, and Juji and co seem a lot healthier for it, even though the channel isn't. I hope the current people Juji's working with can learn the ropes up to Tom's level, but I suspect the days of regular 5 million view videos are long gone with Tom.
@@AfferbeckBeats The channel hadn't been around for as long before Tom joined. Of course he didn't get as many views then. Each video is less focused on views and encompasses a smaller short set of events, meaning some people will skip them sometimes. That's okay. Tom has a toxic personality and an acidic set of insecurities that rub off on people. He can be a crybully and an addict (to anything he comes across in theory) and his hipster hippie stuff is very offputting to me and many others. Good riddance.
I liked Tom, they had a good chemistry, sadly Tom let his personal issues take control and negatively affect things, he needs help and support. I think there was a lot of good things going on, but what do I know, who knows, we werent there
Agree with you about jujis form, starts too high and doesn't use his legs. I think he knows that now as well, which is great. Hope to see him crush it in the future. Thanks for the programming tips.
its really refreshing to see someone finally address Juji's programming. While everyone is focusing on his form, no one was really addressing how he is approaching the way he was fitting in the pull. I really felt he was deadlifting WAAAAAAAAAAAY too often and too much crap to "assist" the pull, which its not. he was guessing his way to a regressed deadlift. His program was shit. Clean that up and he will hit 700 with virtually no change to his form.
Basically. You don't hit 600 lb deadlifts without mastering the form. From 600 to 700 is just programming. I'm currently omw to a 700 lb Deadlift. Hit a 605 pr early January of 2021 and just hit a 615 on 3 plates last week. It's programming.
In the context of this video, can you guys do a video on self coaching and technique development, using juji or other self coached athlete or influencer as example?
Hey Guys, love the videos and the sheer amount of advice and wisdom you manage to churn out so frequently. I am a rugby player and am currently running nSuns in the preseason. Do you guys have much to say about the balance between push and pull reps - if it matters at all, and what kind of reps might contribute more to the balance than others? I would love to hear your view. Cheers lads
I liked the video. Not really in agreement that keeping a heavy single in program is not a good idea. Just see too many cases (myself included) were having a quality single prior to a top set and back offs really moves the needle for lifters.
Guys can you please do a video about Thor's 'rolling start' on the deadlift? I think some other strong men (Brian Shaw?) do this as well and I'm not sure whether the barbell slightly rolling towards you during a dynamic start in the deadlift is biomechanically advantageous or not. I don't see oly lifters doing this but was wondering if there's any benefit/disadvantage to this for a deadlift 1RM.
What I’ve gathered is you would generally want to avoid rolling the bar for deadlifts. You typically see those larger guys rolling the bar since their size makes it hard to setup into an ideal position from a static start. For more regular sized people rolling the bar is more of a waste of energy and also makes it tougher to have consistent reps because of the dynamic start.
@@OppaHappySyle I'm talking for a 1RM attempt, so ofc if you're looking to do reps this won't be ideal. I'm 6'5" so maybe it fits for me with my setup. I feel as though it helps me take the slack out of my lats which is tough for me to do if everything is still at the start? Not sure.
@@thehboppa If you look closely when thor deadlifts, he only rolls the bar in once even when he goes for reps. IMO if you feel as tho it helps you out then by all means you can keep doing it. However, it is still requires energy to roll the bar towards you and that means less energy left for you do perform the lift. In an ideal world you'd want to phase the roll out of your lift bc of the extra energy spent and the potential for inconsistent reps like I mentioned before.These strongmen have probably lifted longer than both you and I and thus have the experience to use the roll for every set.
@@OppaHappySyle realistically it takes almost no energy to start the bar rolling, like absolutely nothing. especially when compared to other deadlift routines where people will aggressively jerk the bar before the rep. I appreciate you commenting on this btw. I'm not really convinced energy conservation on a set of 1 is much of a reason not to do this, but it certainly doesn't feel as though there's any biomechanical disadvantages to do this, for me at least. I'll keep mucking around with it and see if it continues to help, cheers!
@@thehboppa no worries man I appreciate some good discussion! The energy conservation thing was an argument I heard from a video I watched a while back that addressed your very question. Unfortunately I can’t seem to remember who made the video. Anyways, good luck with your lifts!
*Any Sets/Rep advice to help get my squat numbers up? My deadlift max is 515lbs but I can’t even squat 350lbs. Now I did steer away from back squatting to focus on front squatting to hit 315 which I did hit but that carry over to my back squat didn’t help at all which I thought it would being my back swuat easily do 315 but I’m still stuck at 335 as my max...I’m 6’5 around 250 btw, was cutting from a bulk but decided to maintain my weight here for a while.*
@king67 on instagram is a true legend he deadlift 720 at 143lbs he is mad strong man also squat 540 or something like that please make a review on his technique
Not remotely a professional coach but I thought his lack of focus was the most obvious issue. Tue guy built his career off being the I'll try anything guy and he has apparently been very resilient to that. But he's bound to be suffering in any specific movement due to all the competing events he gives 100% in.
Just looking at Juji’s pull, he doesn’t use his legs well in the movement at all, all back. Needs to start the movement with the his quads “less press the floor” away.
You know who could use your guys' deadlift training? Luke Stoltman, the Scottish strongman and one half of the world's strongest brothers! He is a very well rounded athlete for his sport, but his deadlift has always dragged his performance down a great deal of points. I'm sure you lads could learn him something good!

Thanks for teaching me how to backflip like 10+ years ago man. I’m saved in many phones as “backflip guy”. That’s all you man. Thanks.
Juji you should visit Sikastan some day and train over there :D
Jon you're a gentleman for taking the time to comment!
Best of luck with your bodybuilding show and we'll definitely come visit if we make it stateside 😁
Been following you for years jon , Will we ever see you clean 400lbs ??? Clarance reckons you have it in you !! 💪🏻💪🏻
Jujis appearance on Dave Tates table Talk podcast was an awesome listen
Must give it a listen actually

My best deadlifts have always been the ones where I grab the bar and think "stand up idiot"

Will you name your first born son in their honour?
Now you have 4! I just subscribed
The collab that I never knew I wanted till now
I wish other youtubers would enjoy making content as much as yout 2 do. Love the vibes!!! \m/
We do love it! LISTEN TO US 🤣
in sikastan the 700lbs deadlift is the requirement to be a colonel of the lifter army
When are you guys going to get some merch in the shop? I want to support the channel but am not in the market for a program. T-shirts and/or sweatshirts would be great.
Mr Kipling's jam tarts were on offer at Sainsbury's
No Sainsbury's here unfortunately. Will check Belfast tomorrow.
Would love to see Juji take on this. I feel he would be thrilled!
You got your wish.
The content I didn’t know I wanted, but now I want to see more 💪
Technique wise: push push push with your legs then hip thrust it once the bar passes the knee
Best outro yet!
Ice bath? The stakes should be Gurph recording a tricking montage complete with an early 2000s with heavy metal soundtrack
Wow, a surprising video topic but a welcome one. Love listening to these case studies. The knowledge is ASMR to my ears
Surely you mean SARMS to your ears
Deadlift is #1 exercise to be fearful of WRT soiling myself
