You have no idea how impactful your channel has been on my lifting / PT / life journey. Thank you 🙏🏽 never stop!!

At first I learn to squat better through your latest squat stance tutorial. Now I can fix my deadlift problem. And all for free.

Your content is priceless. Thanks a lot!

This was a great video to remind people how to properly deadlift! Great job Squat university! I commonly see these faults coaching and training beginners who have never touched a barbell before. It’s amazing what simple verbal or tactile cues can do to fix a persons problem! The key is in the repetition and the consistent practice for optimal follow through. My favorite cue is activating and fire your lats to stiffen up your back and create stability! I also like using the cue “imagine the barbell scraping your thigh” throughout the entire lift.

This channel is simply incredible. You and the experts you bring on give out such valuable information that not only improves my lifts, but also my physical health. You’re a legend for sharing your knowledge for free!

Thanks so much for this comparison - and to your guests. I’ve been watching “tutorials” and yours is the only one that compares different disciplines - totally get it now! Thank you

Man after discovering Matt Wennings several months ago, all my lifts went up in the best way possible.

I think that bit about pushing knees out will be really helpful for my deadlifts. Thank you!

Will try these on my next workout.

Useful to see the differences between conventional and snatch deadlift for a beginner :)

[JSuit]

Needed tips on dead lifting and knee to immediately search for SU! Loved this video I’m going to watch the others too 🙏🏾

Man I love deadlifts, I’m 185 pounds and started doing deadlifts in July, and couldn’t even get 300 pounds off the ground and now can rep 345 for 5 reps with good form at a shoulder width stance

[gabrielvivona]

Very nice video, he took away many doubts . Thanks.

[Yellowgary]

I’ve got dynamic effort banded conventional deadlifts tomorrow. this is perfect timing.

[eunicewong]

I know this is about deadlift....lifting the weights up. But why nobody talks about putting the weights down? Especially when done in a slow motion. Please explain how to do it in a controlled way i.e. how to breathe, how to keep all the muscles engaged when putting the weights down.

I've been watching your videos for a while and they have helped me so much. Thank you :) !

I'm a SHW and I've been over 800 on the dead. Another on platform technique to set and lock the lats is roll the dead forward, set the grip, roll back to starting using the lats like the band exercise and poof, my fat ass is locked in, great grip and ready to defeat gravity.
