“Sit back” is the worst cue for a conventional deadlift

[Maxi_Jano]

TikTok works exactly as quote retweets

[Enmanuel_V]

As soon as you hear “sit back” on a deadlift video, run away

[Rohank]

ok, but you doing sumo DL while explaining whats wrong with his conventional DL form doesn't really help with the confusion.

[kedrn]

The biomechanical points you made sounded interesting but unfortunately I just don't think 1 minute is a long enough time for you to fully explain them. Would be interesting to see a longer video on it

This kind of stuff messed me up in the early 2000s. Squat feet straight ahead completely upright without leaning over at all was another one I could never manage.

[HaloDude]

That's called the AthleanX deadlift. Everything falls apart when he adds a couple more plates.

This is the proper way of a clean deadlift he only needs to shrug at the end

[austing]

I love all the people trying to say that "all the strongmen use this form" when they actually don't. Easy to spot beginners when they're unable to notice at what position a lifter is in when the lifting actually commences.

I remember seeing a video of Stan Efferding deadlifting. One mental cue he suggested was to think of the lift a little like a standing leg press as well as a pull. When I deadlift and imagine trying to push my feet through the floor I feel a lot stronger. (Btw I agree with Matt, this guy's advice isn't good).

Starting Strength has the best advice on deadlifts

Literally the second I saw him I thought “this guys about to give some terrible advice”. I have no idea how I knew, not a clue, but I could just tell 💀

[arthuralves]

I got a little bit angry when I was trying to help a woman to do deadlifts at the gym, and the supposed instructor AND I think owner of the gym came up ad gave this shitty advice to her, to squat the damn deadlift. I just sat back and thought to myself: "well, I'll just keep doing what I know and ignore everyone else, unfortunately... I'm still young, but I know a few things, but c'mon, a guy that got a degree on PE saying such things makes my blood boil lol

[Panda]

I honestly thought he was gonna clean the weight instead of deadlift it

[basicmeme]

I did this form he gave, I fell backwards
I deadlifted using the form hafthor uses and pulled 405 for a few reps afterwards

[bigfornoreason]

The advice given in the video is absolutely good advice for the deadlift - especially for a deadlift that is as safe as possible. Sitting back, getting your body weight behind the bar, driving with your legs, not letting your hips rise first, driving through with your hips - all solid cues, and you should listen to the first guy in the clip.

Love how everyone in the lifting community argues over everything with no context.

[SpidermansSymbiote]

When I deadlift I have a really high hip position but it feels really strong for me. Start position really comes down to your own personal leverages. Love your content!

If it wasn’t Sadik, a well known Olympian competitor, I would have believed this video.

[koreaface]

He basically described a more seated back clean pull
