you know what I like? it feels like you're actually trying to help, not show off

[Jack-cddj]

No arrogance
No unnecessary screaming
No corny jokes

Just 100% talent and teaching! Subbed!

[Carito]

As a dudette trying to perfect my form, I thank you, dude.

[millertymest]

mistake number 2: not performing the deadlift correctly....
yeah I would consider that a mistake xD

[outhere]

Eight years after you made this video, you're still helping people with their technique. I have watched a few others' videos, but this one really helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. I'm 6'2" & my back isn't the greatest. I was definitely not using proper technique up until today. Thank you!

I have no idea why YouTube suggested this video to me, but it was very informative. I'll keep these tips in-mind if I ever start weightlifting.

Another mistake: increasing weight without perfecting the form

[HatmanXIIX]

I like that you are helping and not just walking around with your shirt off stating things you found on the first page of a Google search, subscribed

Three personal trainers tried to explain deadlifts to me and nobody could do it. I watched about 100 tutorials and videos but still nothing. I tried it so hard at the gym but I always made some mistakes. Until I saw this video. I mean the thing that mostly helped me was the tip number 1, to keep your hands straight all the time, it's much easier to get proper form when you know that. 

Thank you guys :)

The sitting VS bowing position is a really good distinction between squats and deads. Nice tip!

[alexandrawhittington]

i literally just looked this up because i felt like i was doing it wrong, every single thing you said people do wrong i was doing wrong 😅😅😅😅

[INDUSTRIALIST]

Great Video ! I like the Nintendo type graphics as well as your information. I never realized that I was doing it wrong.

[SwedishViking]

Did deadflifts today. And managed to focus a bit more on things I might have gotten wrong before thanks to this video, and it went great. Really appreciate these videos.

[quobalt]

would it be okay to wear high heals while performing a deadlift?

[citizenmilitia]

Thanks guys. I'm currently deadlifting 150kg (330lb), my trainer videoed my form for me and I realised I'm definitely guilty of rounding my back. I'm going to practice implementing your tips and record it again :)

[GherkmanProductions]

Whenever I am unsure about something I am doing in a workout I always end up coming to you guys, your very good at explaining things and unlike alot of other channels you can actually go through things in an understanding way. Thanks!

One big mistake is the look in the mirror. Overextending the head to see yourself in front in the mirror or rotate the head to the side to check if the back is unbowed.

[coolvideos]

You cleared all my doubts and queries about the Deadlift.Thanks a ton.

[DrTranofEvil]

Honestly, I’ve seen so many videos ripping on somebodies form, I’m glad you guys put this out. My trainer gave me the basics recently (I’m just getting into this and I’m getting older, so injuries last these days). I want to practice, but I don’t wanna screw it up. Thanks!

[FadzliRealtor]

You sound like such a calm person. A legit dude :)
