This guy has literally made THE best deadlift video in the internet i hope everyone appreciates it as much as they should because this is REAL powerlifting advice. This isnt “hey youre an idiot if you dont do it my way” no, everyones a lil different but bracing techniques and pits to shoulders and leg press press like a savage, coach pro weak guys keys got me gassed up i literally PRd my passed 3 deadlift sessions with these little tips we are goin for 535 next.

Update: i PRd 565

Jus deadlifted today and the bracing part helped me figure out what was wrong with my technique, thank you man <3

[commandblock]

I genuinely enjoyed every single second of this truly informative video. Thanks, Chris!

Thank you for mentioning that lats help stabilize the bar during the deadlift.

So many people think it's not really a back exercise, and they don't realize that your lats are helping control bar shift and prevent it from drifting away from your during the lift. Yes, your glutes and quads are the primary movers, but the role of the lats keeping the bar close makes it so your glutes and quads and can do what they need to do as efficiently as possible.

Chris: *really calm and zen*

Allan Thral: DO NOT MOVE THE BARBEL!

I've been deadlifting for over a year and still learned some better ques/techniques in this video. Amazing tutorial covers everything to keep in mind and allows for individual variance

I've got up to 600 sumo with straps but switched to conventional recently. Your hook grip inspired me, but I have a faster setup with mixed grip. I liked how to explained the pits to pockets and demonstrated how keeps lats engaged and breaking the weight off the floor with a leg press, shows how you implement a good bar path

Damn I’m really surprised at the fact that your barely over 20k subs. You have the best vibes, personality, looks and the mindset😤 you’ll make it far Trust😼

[rokkolive]

This video is wholesome and helpful, quite literally can't explain how good the way you explain is, but it's great!

By far the best deadlift video i have ever seen , its info that i can trust honestly🤟🏻

I respect this video, teaches the basics, what this video just doesn't teach you or at least mention is what you actually do when you start lifting 85% RPE, here is most likely what will happen: scenario 1: you have really good trunk control and very good start and you have a slight natural round, and you leg press and the beginning of the movement, hinge towards the end ; scenario 2(most often): you have 0 trunk control and you don't even leg press at the beginning of the movement you just "Pull". Here's what should've been added to the video :
1: How to teach your body to start in a "boxed" position, increasing tension in 4 main areas, Calves, Glutes, Mid section(abs and erectors) and lats.
2: Provide different types of alternatives, such as: Stiff Legged Deadlift(helps with glute, lat and erector activation for mid body tension), Deficit Deadlift(extremely important for people that cannot que their start of their lift, such as engaging your abductors and glutes, calves and increasing internal pressure and if you just cannot pull the weight of the ground), Paused Deadlifts(helping wiith overall bracing and especially training your core) / also add the paused dealifts on either stiff legged / your normal deadlifts or paused deadlifts(don't lift more than 90%RPE on deficit as this shit is fucking terrifying when you head to 3+reps above)


Also one important point that I think should be addressed, toe positioning should be place in a position where the glutes and your abductors are engaged, you can also thinkg of pusing your elbows outwards at the beginning of the lift minimising knee valgus(knee caving)

I understand that these videos are probably meant to be short but I 100% can say that maybe by adding a few minutes for some short explanations would've helped, unfortunately we do not all look to powerlift and lift heavy ass weight or progress so quick, for someone such as me I prefer longevity and slow but proper progression(3-4 weeks adding 2.5kg after testing my rep ranges).

People also don't realise that recovery between your intensity training is important, for xampleI have noticed that having my heaving deadlift sessions such as 80%-95%RPE intensitiy on a monday followed up by a thursday volume day where I do a deficit paused deadliift at rpe of 70-80% is more important than deadlifting twice a week at same intensity. (it will also depend on your split, I do Pull Push Legs for example, so if you do Upper Lower it might be a good idea to up the intensity)

TLDR: PWG should've mentioned different types of alternatives / recovery periods between sessions and also go a bit more in depth into bracing as it is the main thing that people mess up.

love you Chris, I've been waiting for this for a while. started deadlifts since i saw your 725 PR

[swolderlifts]

cant wait for the hook grip tutorial also your my favorite gymtuber when it comes to me learning new things because most other gymtubers including myself just workout with cool music and dont really tell the views what to do/teach them. but the reason why I dont in my videos is because im new to weight lifting :)

[yeskaii]

The timing of this video is crazy. A few hours ago I decided “tmrw I'm a start deadlifting again”

[Richard-ztjx]
