I actually do this for squats. Another great tip would be imagining the ceiling is falling down and that you have to avoid it crushing you, when doing shoulder presses. It always helped me.
@@JeffJeffJeffJeff33 you just imagine that instead of lifting the bar up, the floor is coming towards you and you gotta keep it down. Just a matter of (imaginative) perspective.
Dude, this was the best illustration I’ve seen so far! Your step 1 with having chest and hip lines run parallel just helped with chronic back fatigue issues I’ve been having for YEARS with ANY kind of hip hinging motion.
1) stand with the bar hip width apart 2) turn your pelvis inwards 3) brace your core 4) make a fist and push your hands down activate lats 5) push your hips back and bend your knees 6) grab just outside your knees 7) extend your chest 8) flaten your back 9) squeeze armspits to activate lats 10) push with your feet 11) thrust with your hips 12 after knees push your hips forward
Probably the most useful video I’ve ever watched, my old form was f’d up and this took away all my back pain while allowing me to lift WAAAY more. Thanks.
Damn, I was actually taught that dropping the weight near the end was a safety thing to prevent overextension and injury towards the end of the exercise. Is this not the case?
@@supertetleman Think about it, you're not extending any further than the initial pull, so that logic is bunk on its face. People who cant control the weight are just ego-maniacs looking for numbers and PoWeR LiFtErS. Controlling the weight throughout the movement is better for you hands down. Also, multiple studies have shown greater growth.
Engaging the core relaxes the back. U wanna engage ur back and push out ur stomach.. u always push out against the belt... that's how I learned.. never got injured pulled 3x bodyweight.. to each their own
a lot of it comes with mobility, when I started working out I had to be carefull with these compound exercises because even at low weight, my form was off. Only 3 months later through carefull exercising and stretching (sometimes just doing regular bodyweight squats in my room for some stretch) I can finally do deep squads with heavy weight and proper form. Minimal effort to get there, just don't overdo it if you're not flexible enough yet for proper form. Same goes with deadlifts, can you squat deep enough to keep your back straight for the lift? If not, stretch more.
Appreciate the effort to make a 60 second video of an exercise where you could have just said keep your back straight and maintain your body posture from start to end. Well done mate 🫡
The idea of clenching your fists and pushing them down to the floor, to activate your lats, is such a simple and fantastic cue. I had no idea about that, keen to try that in my next deadlifting session!
Glad you mentioned everything that you did, including sliding the bar along your shins. If you don't have scrape marks on your shins, you're probably not doing deadlifts the right way. Also, keep your chin up as you retract your lats and your upper back into a strong arch position
Best cues are “chest high” yes for hypertrophy upper back rounding is inferior (also removes the great benefit of thoracic extension that will carryover to squats) , “tight” it sounds simple but telling people to think it while lifting surprisingly helps and “trust fall” when beginning the lift sit back until you feel like you would fall if you let go of the bar this pulls the slack and lowers chances of you loosing position off the floor. Treat the lift with respect, pride yourself on form not weight and the deadlift will provide excellent gains. Not only is it massively stimulative it also carries over to all other hip hinges and lower body lifts providing its preformed correctly
I really appreciate your effort in educating proper and safe techniques. I decided on a trap bar to do my deadlifts but I have not found the quality in the explanation you offer elsewhere. Would you be willing to do a trap bar deadlift walkthrough?
I'm 53 years old and HAD always HATED deadlifts and squats. Until recently when I learned HOW to do both of those exercises PROPERLY. And now I LOVE doing them. Seriously, it's amazing I have ANY muscle at all. 🤣
When is didn't know to deadlift my lower back has insane pain but after know to do perfectly my entire backside feel better activation and no lower back pain thanks bro and now deadlift is ome my favorite lift
"Squeeze your armpits to activate your lats" I find that rotating my hands inwards does this. Thanks for the cue. I find myself coming back this video even months later. Thanks for sharing.

My man this was perfect any chance we could get the same but for squats, overhead press, bench, bent over rows, pulls ups/chin ups and push ups?
Only those..
he has a whole video on squats
Literally every other exercise? 😂
@@gatorscoops3861 his explanation was perfect, imagine if we had this level in any other exercise =)
Yes bro
Thinking of it as leg pressing the floor as opposed to lifting the bar up has been one of the most helpful cues I've ever utilized for deadlifts.
Same

One of the best explanations of a deadlift I have seen. Nice job.
Can we just appreciate these overlays for a second?! What in the world

Modernity done _right!_ 🔥
Bro this man corrected my whole posture 😂😂😂
@@Laser_601😂
Those glute overlays better chill the fuck out
Dude, this was the best illustration I’ve seen so far!

You should make more of this short videos for easy and more comprehensible explanation. Thanks! 🙂
1) stand with the bar hip width apart
2) turn your pelvis inwards
3) brace your core
4) make a fist and push your hands down activate lats
5) push your hips back and bend your knees
6) grab just outside your knees
7) extend your chest
8) flaten your back
9) squeeze armspits to activate lats
10) push with your feet
11) thrust with your hips
12 after knees push your hips forward
The knowledge you provide us is PRICELESS!! I been working out for about 40 yrs and WISH I would of had guidance.
That first-person shot of the descend was so useful. Well done as always Jeremy!
Props to all the team behind also, those animations are killer
@@godhash agreed
I can barely stand after doing these lol W form
That was the most thorough explanation!! Thank you ❤
Probably the most useful video I’ve ever watched, my old form was f’d up and this took away all my back pain while allowing me to lift WAAAY more. Thanks.
Shorts are a blessing to cut through all the introductory bullshit and get straight to the point. Awesome!
The best explained video with the minute details on dead lift. Hats off!!
Has to be one of the best explanations I've seen, having looked for a guide for a bit now. Thank you.
Jeremy is the best for explaining step by step!!! The best workout channel on RUclips!!!!
You forgot, "Slam the weight down as hard as possible so everyone knows what a fucking beast you are"
"It PrEvEnTs InJuRiEs.."
Some people are more interested in numbers than technique🤷🏾♂️💯
To each their own, super helpful either way
This made me really laugh out loud.

deadlift is a one way exercise, sorry.
Great summary of the video. Deadlifting with good form is actually very hard.
Engaging the core relaxes the back. U wanna engage ur back and push out ur stomach.. u always push out against the belt... that's how I learned.. never got injured pulled 3x bodyweight.. to each their own
One of the best explanation on dead lift
Thank you so much jeremy
My gym buddy was just trying to teach me this today at the gym and i swear i was doing it all wrong😂😂… but i’ll definitely get it with more practice💪🏾

The only video needed for DEADLIFT
I've watched about 100 DL tutorials, and this is the best! 💯
Wow. It took me 6 months to learn how to perfect deadlift and this guy showed it all in few seconds.
The sheer attention to detail here is satisfying
Phenomenal editing👏👏👏

Great demonstration. 👍
I started doing deadlift like this and it is so effective. Wish I found your video earlier.
Appreciate the effort to make a 60 second video of an exercise where you could have just said keep your back straight and maintain your body posture from start to end. Well done mate 🫡
WOW- I had no idea all of this was involved....! Perfect guidance. Love it.
Thank you so much bro. I was scared to do my first Deadlift but after watching your video, I was able to execute it without issue!
The idea of clenching your fists and pushing them down to the floor, to activate your lats, is such a simple and fantastic cue. I had no idea about that, keen to try that in my next deadlifting session!
Best deadlifting tutorial I’ve seen so far!! Thanks
What a perfect explanation
Best instruction I've seen. Thank you! 💪🏾
Wow, first time doing a perfect deadlift at home with 16 kg weight and felt my entire back engaged
Glad you mentioned everything that you did, including sliding the bar along your shins. If you don't have scrape marks on your shins, you're probably not doing deadlifts the right way. Also, keep your chin up as you retract your lats and your upper back into a strong arch position
Excellent info!!!
This editing is amazing
Dude that video is so good and everything’s 100% correct!!!
thank you for perfect technique
Thanks
Thats a lot of things to remember man

Now this is the perfect technique, great job, this exactly what my coach taught me, that means you also have the right mind and technique👍
Great explanation!
Thanks! This really helps.
