What's up guys! In todays video I am going to be giving you my top 5 tips to increase your deadlift. Enjoy! - Спорт
The deadlift is simply beautiful, so simple, yet difficult. I like thinking of it as the "lift heavy rock" exercise🗿
eumastas, son of kritobolos in 6th century BC really said “big rock, I lift”

Mate this is an UNREAL vid. So many great points, you should do more of this kinda vid, this sort of info can rlly help a lot of people!
Struggling quite a bit with deads at the moment - thanks for the tips ! Gets me motivated again
That last point is def something I need to work on, I havent rlly thought of the impact of arousal levels too much. I think I definitely get overly anxious and fail deads when i actually have the strength, exactly as you described!
ive managed to pavlovs dog myself, if you have one song you only use for prs that gets you hype whenever you play it your body will release more adrenaline
@charlieiles damn bro 🤣🤣. That's something to aspire to, I was trying to do that, but then I failed a deadlift with my hype song and it kinda killed it for me
I loved the part where you mentioned the psychological side of deadlifting. Finding the sweet spot between not being hyped enough to being over hyped. You want that sweet spot of just the right amount of hype but also focus
Great video/tips👏👏
Best wishes with your progress and happy new year!
Excellent video Mr. Massiah, the amount of information in this is brilliant
Thank you bro!
Thank you I am weak on my deadlift and need to work on my hamstring and grip this was good to listen to and learn
this is an outstanding video, thank you Nathaniel, please do more like this
Amazing tips from a legend in the making. I love following your journey, hope to meet you some day mate!
Fantastic advice! Much appreciated.
Gonna implement this bro! Sick video, 250kg deadlift at 80kg bodyweight currently
Thats amazing! Top job 👏
270kg deadlift at 105kg currently
300kg @88kg letsgo boys!!!
@@user-cz8dd4hg1i thank you
@@chrisbreen3188 that’s crazy keep it going
How are you 21, you have so much knowledge and wisdom. Great vid ❤
As a powerlifter, this video and channel is amazing 💪🏻
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great video, especially the advice on weak points and how often to lift.
Excellent educational video on dead lifts. And yes please similar video on squat and bench please! Thank you!
You exceeded expectations with this video. Awesome job!
Thank you Nathaniel, subscribed!!
Absolutely great video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Very nicely said, 👌 love each point.
Tip #1: grow your arms longer.
Yeah.
Terrific video, thanks!!
I used to dread the deadlift, but now I love it. It's an amazing feeling to lift for reps what you couldn't get off the floor only a month ago.
consistent nate is the best Nate
Your little homage to the DL in the beginning was...*sniff*...inspiring. I just started it 5 months ago at 42. Got a long way to go. I'm 42 years old, 5'7", 180 lbs, and I've made it to pulling 300 lbs x 5 conventional with DOH grip. I know I have a lot more room for growth, but even so, it just feels so...as you perfectly stated..."alpha". The first time I pulled 185 lbs for 6 or 7 reps a few months ago, I thought I was going to pass out afterward. Now I do have a weird little "oh, $#!+" moment on my first rep of every heavy set, where my vision goes a bit dark for a split second, but I can finish the set and just sit down and breath hard for a couple minutes. Not only is it a maximal strength exercise, but it's damned good cardio....like sprinting 100m.
Great & interesting video, it just makes sense to take advice from people who are actually merited & successful within whatever area one wants to progress in. I have never used the term "master arousal", lol, but it is indeed what has aided me mostly in many of my lifts, I feel as if I really need to improve my technique now, or I will risk getting injured, mind & adrenaline can only take me so far. Id love to see your thoughts that relates to your technique and how you set your body up for & during the lift. I too often get too hyped & fail sometimes because I change my posture or technique. I also need to look at my exercises & variation, but so far it has worked but I know I need to really improve my technique & mobility to get into a safer posture for the deadlift. I am about to hit 300 kgs soon I believe, or atleast that is what it seems to me, I approach all weights plate by plate, it might seem weird but has worked for me this far, if I can rep a certain number of plates x times, I usually go straight for the next plate, often try the new weight/plate with a walkout rep, usually I can pull it from the floor after a while. I am just an amature but this is what has worked so far, but ofc things always change. Thanks again.
Loved this Video please do more like it
Oh i saw this around Instagram and didnt even realise it was you, sensational stuff man
This is just a great video on the deadlift -stuff I've never heard before
Cheers bro💪💪
Ive been studying about deadlift volume, mev mrv, fatigue management and that kind of thing for a long time since my country dont have many exposure about powerlifting, even deadlift platform is not common in our gym. this man right here has summarized a lot from what ive studied before. my current deadlift is 180kg @ 67kg bodyweight. I hope I can reach 200kg by the end of 2024 and joining my first meet at 2025. Thankyou big guy for your sharing. I appreciate you sir
big love to the goat
Great video Nate, really helped thanks 🙃
Appreciate it 🙏🏽
What a brilliant video, premium content right here👌
This video was amazing 👏
Wow.....absolutely fantastic vid....nice info....I will be watching your other vids.
Great advice 👍
YO when you showed me that clip of you in the gym I immediately recognised the gym. I am a 17 year old sixth form student and today I just applied for Loughborough university! It really looks amazing there. Can't believe that haha.
I am 17 and sixth former, how strong are you?
@@_uchiha hello I am 5'11 and 93kg. I can bench press 130kg, squat 160kg and deadlift 200kg.
@@Aaron_Salloway holy shit you are strong 💀💀💀
I am 58-59kg can now deadlift 140kg bench 65kg and have no idea what my squat is. I've only been going to the gym for 3 weeks tho, so I think I can get strong pretty fast because of noobie gains
@@_uchiha they fact you can hit those numbers at a bodyweight so light after only 3 weeks of going to the gym is incredible. Your clearly very genetically gifted and doing things right so just keep doing what your doing man! 💪
PS- I do have a UA-cam channel if you wanna watch me lift (not advertising my channel or anything hahah)
Great tips my brother
This helped greatly. As a new lifter for little over a yr I have seen great progress in the last 6 months after hitting a platto but I have been try to crack into the 350lb range. My current pr is 315. Mind you I started lifting at age 42
Insightful. Thank you for your inputs! 🫡
Superb vid. Well done.
I was watching your vid man. I got some great info from this. I'm thinking about loading the bar past what I DL and doing a 10 count just holding the weight
I think it was worth noting to alternate hands while using over under grip, if your going to use it all the time because of building imbalances, great video deffo took a few good tips away from it
And using double overhand on a lot of your volume below the top set for grip training!
My conventional PR at 80kg BW is 200kg at the moment (only back to training regularly for ~6 weeks). I'm using double overhand for anything below 150kg normally, and I have only used straps for one max attempt just because it felt safer than mixed having seen people tear biceps deadlifting. I guess 75% of your 1RM should be a decent standard for when to switch to a mixed grip.
The best feeling when I see singha's clip
I only use straps when my grip fails, for example I’ll do a set of lat pull-down until failure and quickly put straps on and find I can do more.
I have not increased my body weight (around 62.5kg) in the past 10 years, but my (conventional) deadlift strength has increased. Around 10 years ago, I did not train seriously with deadlifts, I usually did conventional deadlifts with 120kg for 8 reps. I started training seriously on my deadlifts in 2017. Last week, I did conventional deadlifts with 220kg for 2 reps. Recently, I have done conventional deadlifts every week with 3 top sets, namely, 210kg for 3 or 4 reps, and then 2 sets of 205kg for 3 or 4 reps.
Deadlift goat 🙌
Kettlebell for grip was a game changer for me
Can you make an injury avoidance to deadlifting. I love this exercise, and that's why I don't want to ruin it with an injury... Cause it can be a permanent one as well...
How do you feel about glute bridges or hip thrusts as a glute accessory exercise?
Brilliant video, makes a refreshing change to hear a different set of tips other than “keep your back flat, brace your core….” Etc. we all know to brace our core ffs!! 🤦🏻♂️
Ayo... That video should be watched by every deadlifter 💪
Thanks for the tips champ!!, but please admit that hook grip is the most effective 😁
i am sure this is gonna be a good one.
Nate the goat
Great vid
What one exercise would pick to test overall strength
Can you demonstrate the correct way to grip, like you described it but no visually description, thanks.
God damn I do love deadlifts, although for me it's a very close second to overhead press for the fuck yeah feeling when I hit a PR
Great video
Are u going to make a video about squats aswell? :)
“Now while some lightweight lifters may be able to outlift heavier lifter…”
As he shows someone doing sumo..lol😂 CLASSIC
The only reason i started using straps was because my gym owner doesn’t allow to throw the weights down so as i was getting stronger the weight got so heavy it started falling down and i threw it a few times and the reason is because of base of floor as its on 2nd floor and the underneath is weaker
Yo man you are my age n can lift far far way more than me motivational 👊🏾
Should you also have a RPE of 6 on a primary deadlift day and should you alternate your grip betweem arms when using a mixed grip?
Thankyou for the valuable information i will get 200kg this year 2024 💪
Ayyyy bro put singhaaa in the video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes🎉
abi idolümsün
My weak point is just below the knee. That's why I was able to deadlift 405. And below the knee rack pull the same exact weight. Right now I'm only doing just below the knee because I'm not a powerlifter so I don't have to deadlift
So what about belts? I’ve never used a belt, should I? I’m currently at 210kg for 2 reps not tried a one rep max in a long time but wonder if a belt will help me push further
Dumb question, but do you think this advice goes for the clean as well?
Another great deadlift specific muscle building exercise is... the deadlift.
I like a hooked grip for lower weights.
Then, when the RPE is around 8 or 9 (around 270 kg for me), I switch to mixed grip.
I like doing stiff-legged deadlifts on a deficit for the extra stretch.
With different lifts, I have to tap into different emotions/attitudes.
heavy squats, I have to treat that bar like my bitch
The bench is pure aggression
With deadlifts, my brain is like, "This is Sparta" lol
I have been going to the gym for 4 years now and my bench is very strong i have only been training deadlifts for 8 weeks and hit a pr of 215kg at 83kg bw, idk how high my potential could be (side note i have been squatting for around a year so maybe that caused a steady base for deadlifts)
Very well said. Especially on arousal. Still the most undertalked about and underplanned variable imo.
Bro that means a lot coming from you. You were one of the first people to get me into powerlifting
Please can you show us how you do your hair
i am actually training my deadlifts. my schedule is monday and friday. so you're saying on my first day I'll just do a normal deadlift where I go 3 sets and 3-5 reps? and on my 2nd day I'll just increase my weights is that right? what do you mean by some form of variation?
Interesting that you said hamstring curls for deadlift specific hamstring growth, I wouldve personally gone for an RDL (or other hip hinge variation). Is that because of the stimulus to fatigue ratios being worse for those exercises, or do you have a different reason?
If you’re already doing paused deadlifts and comp deadlifts in your plan, I don’t think you really need RDL’s as well. For myself at least, focussing on hamstrings which is my one weak link in the chain seems to work just fine. Guys do RDL’s as well tbf so you can experiment
@@OfficialNathanielMassiah thanks mate yeah, I'll try out SLDLs in my RDL slot this block and see what effect they have 👍🏻
Managed to hit 200Kg within 10 months of starting and came 2nd in a local deadlift comp.
Going to really start hammering some of these points and see how far I can push it! Great video as always!
10 months of lifting?
@@bruh-qi7ue yup, started last December. My bench isn’t great and my squat is around average but I seem to be better suited to deadlifts
@@bruh-qi7ueit's possible, I'm at 185kg 1rep max 3 months in.
@@MowersFamilyFarm what was it when you started?
@@bruh-qi7ue 110kg. So I started gym 13 months ago roughly. But didn't take it seriously.
Started deadlifting at a guess October, 110kg for like 2/3 reps but couldn't do anymore as grip strength bar was spinning.
In a month used straps to get me to 130-150.
Within 3 months 180kg no straps 1 rep but cut open hands.
Last 3 weeks I've tried it 3 times and I use liquid chalk and a deadlift belt, and hit 185kg today but knees shaking like a tree so time to stop pushing 1rep mxes and do rdls and pauses to increase lock out strength.
Hamstrings my issue as I had a full ACL rupture repair with hamstring graft.
All deadlifting instruction videos need the huge preface that technique is entirely dependant on individual anatomy. Conventional deadlift is considerably easier for people with shorter torso / long legs whereas sumo is easier for people with longer torso and shorter legs.
One lift is simply far more suited to a certain body type, which makes it laughable when people complain stating that conventional is the only real way to lift.
A deadlift top set is 1 rep right?
I'm 1 year into powerlifting and did zero hypertrophy cycles. Packed 100 kilos to dl 1RM in this time BUT would it make more sense to train for hypertrophy half a year then keeping up strength training?
Continue doing what is working. No reason to drastically change how you structure your training if it's still adding kilos.
Yes, if you are visibly tiny and obviously need to put on muscle mass then it would be sensible to add some hypertrophy work in, but never lose focus of the main goal, to increase 1rm, and if what you are doing now is working, there is no need to change it to the extremes of taking 6 months of the train for hypertrophy
Just do accesories with hypertrophy sets and eat well, you will grow
Overhead press and dumbbell bench, farmer’s carry are better test of strength. Deadlift is more body type dependant. Shorter torso, etc and moment arm lengths. Go pick a dumbbell up and lift it above your head and go for a walk and tell me what weight you were able to lift. 60Kg? 80kg? How many reps are you pressing 70kg dumbbells?
Informative video, tnx

Yo how does one find out whether they should do sumo or conventional?
It all depends on preference but you could also go off of what your body looks like. If you have long arms and legs and a short torso, sumo is a good option, if you have shorter legs and a longer torso conventional would be better.
This isn't always the case though since some people prefer to do conventional even with long legs and arms like Nathaniel so if I was you I would stick to whatever feels more comfortable.
@@Obstone0 100% right about that. I also have long arms and femurs + short torso but still doing conventional. I did sumo for a while and got a 1 rep max of 150 kg. Now about 5 months later I'm lifting the same weight 5x5 with conventional. Try both and see what works best 😃
@@Obstone0 thank you for the advice!
@@CalebGains You could also just stick to conventional at the start regardless of your proportions since it's less technical and a better developmental lift overall

I wish i could do deadlift but lower back pain no matter how much i think my form is correct but that pain comes back whenever i do deadlifts
How is your form and what kind of loads are you pulling? Also is your pain right in the back or any radiating into leg?
Are you bracing properly?
@@Nmdresser whenever i try to lift all pressure feels at lower back, Last time i deadlift i tried to move my feets and legs closer to bar and first time i felt pushing through my legs but after few days back pain got worse. Now it got a bit better and iam thinking of doing them again
@@MortalHamza What are your current lifts weight wise if you don't mind me asking? You may need to regress the movement to learn how to hinge. I would recommend starting with some kettlebell romanian deadlifts (very light) and think "butt back" with a neutral spine to learn the hinge pattern. Then as you adapt and get more comfortable with this (over several months and add load), start pulling deadlifts from an elevated height (like some blocks) and learn to use all of the proper muscles to deadlift. Then slower lower the height. Give yourself several months to "sneak into" a good deadlift if that makes sense.
300kg at 17 is crazy, I was happy with 150kg at 17
Hook grip is objectively the better grip, Nathaniel just a lil biased because he pulls mixed
I wish they let me lift like that when I was 14.
Back then they had that myth going around that it stunts your growth
Singha❤
Just do hook grip
I subscribe your chanel please send your routine workout bro

Tip no. 1 - be born with long arms
Better way to feel alpha is by controlling your anger!
I'm getting close to a 4 plate deadlift while my bench press isn't even 2 plates yet. Long arms gang
Ssjbobb
I deadlift 405 conventional and don’t even bench 200. I don’t even got long arms tho
Same problem mate 180kg deadlift but barely 90kg Bench. Shit sucks
