All of your "bro" faces in each of these episodes are hilarious

This video has actually helped me improve my friends deadlift form because I couldn’t tell the reason why his deadlift looked so awkward. But after watching the video I can see he was constantly lowering his hips. Thanks for making this vid Jeff!

[markdraper]

Never commented before. Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. The advice you give, and the way you present it, is nothing less than invaluable. I'm just making my way back from a herniation of the L4 disc(11 weeks), and deadlifts are going well. Gotta swallow my pride doing half of what I was doing pre injury, but I'm getting there. Your instruction helps a lot.

[PhillipCummingsUSA]

I've just started implementing deadlifts and these videos helped understand correct form. I'm grateful of the internet age and quality content providers educating the general public.

Jeff is making the most casual day of the week a highpoint for me. Nothing like having a killer workout, finishing meal prep then watching technique Tuesday before bedtime.

[zaksmyth]

Jeff the type of guy to train the tibialis anterior on leg day

The best series on Youtube! Congrats from Brazil

[Wallace_Fitness_Center]

Hey Jeff, great video. I notice one of the things that happened with me was that my upper back started rounding and then my lower back followed. I didnt have the muscular control to maintain thoracic rounding without the low back following. Pendlay rows helped me out with this. I created a video like this about the top 3 deadlift mistakes I see. We had one common mistake but a few different mistakes that we see. Anyway, I’m a huge fan, great vid.

[msadams]

Awesome, I asked for this on the last video. Thanks Jeff! My lifts have shown so much improvement and your videos have had a tremendous impact on that. Love your channel and appreciate all your hard work.

[vevitier]

Jeff is just an outstanding guy. These are all very well done and the editing is getting better by the video. Great Stuff Jeff!

[AC-]

Helpful and concise. I appreciate that. Too many people add useless filler to their videos.

[Firmly_grasp_it]

It’s not Tuesday until we get a technique video!!

[christinamiller]

I love Technique Tuesday so much! Constantly correcting form is so important and I use these to double check what I'm doing and take recommendations to fix minor (or possibly major) errors. I always want to make sure my form is basically perfect before I even think about upping weight so I don't hurt myself and I get the most out of the exercise. Thank you so much for these videos!

[darkwingduck--]

Maybe the best technique video I've ever seen. Searched for a deadlift error fixing video, found this one first and it already helped me a lot. Great video, Jeff!

[santinodewreede]

Love that you hit rounding of the back first. A little upper back is going to be natural on heavy lifts. But gotta try to keep the lower back locked in

[iamryanlittle]

Definitely gonna make sure that I minimize these mistakes the next time that I lift.

[oofmaroomph]

I see.. I think I kinda agree with the 2nd mistake. Thanks a lot for the information
