I pulled my back out doing dead lifts when I first started working out 4 years ago. My back is not the same. I have back problems every day. In my opinion. I would say don't go to heavy. Pick a comfortable weight. Theres nothing to prove. The after affect of messing your back up is no joke. Your back will never be the same

@@grubbybum3614 I beg to differ, anytime you pick up something heavy off the floor it's basically a deadlift. Like when I do manual labor and I have to pick up heavy or multiple bags of concrete or sand off the floor, that is basically a deadlift.

It's kind of disheartening how there's so much conflicting advice in the realms of exercise and nutritional science; you could ask ten different experts and they would give you ten different lines of advice on what to eat and how best to work out. I know it's hard to come up with conclusive studies in those fields based on the nature of the problem but it'd be nice if there were some kind of authoritative source that you could look up and get a universally agreed upon answer to any health or fitness related question that you might have.
I think the best thing to do is to just try out a bunch of different techniques yourself and see which one gets you the best results and just take what all these so called experts say with a grain of salt
It's just about finding the right resources, and looking in the right places. Instagram nutritionists/coaches will generally always give you misinformation because they're just trying to sell a product. Dive into the research to verify what you learn. And always be suspicious of taking anecdotal evidence to heart - like advice that you shouldn't deadlift.
@@flexinriffs9926 yeah the problem is when people see strongmen deadlifting more than 3x their bodyweight and think that the equation works backwards, so they're 200lb and think that they can deadlift 600lb.
What is to be gained by deadlifting? There's other things to build legs, rows and pulldowns build the back. I've never felt the need to deadlift in my life and I'm happy with my physique, don't feel it's lacking in any department.

My low back is trashed. I stopped doing deadlifts with a straight bar 25 years ago. I recently started doing deadlifts with a hex bar. Lower weight, high reps. It makes my back feel great every time I do it.
595 competition deadlift in college. 181 & 198. Flash forward 48 years old… the ONLY injury I don;t have is low back. Heavy Good mornings & deadlifting were the best time I ever invested.
I've done bodybuilding and power lifting my entire life, one day I did deadlifts not even that heavy as usually I would go to about 500lbs, this time I had like half that weight. The following night I woke up with a disc in my nerve and muscle tissue, somehow my deadlift fucked my entire lower back and I didn't feel anything until hours later. I was brought to the hospital and couldn't walk for months, had to teach myself again. To this day, I can barely workout, barely walk, barely do anything.
Deads used to be my best life. I was early 20s and just warming up. Did 315 warming up . Picked it up and tweaked my back. I didn't rack the weights I just left cause I knew I'd get tight. 5 minute car ride home and I had to crawl out the car. Dead are the only thing that gave me injuries. I'm 36 now. I still do deads. But I'll go to chiropractor and stretch and get massages regularly. I do 225 easy. Sometimes 275. I don't need to do 500 for reps. Noones paying me to do it. Used to tweak my back once every year or two.

People, this man isn’t telling us to not do deadlifts. What he’s saying is that the risk factor is high, especially if you’re doing heavy weight. That’s why athletes like to stay away from it. To safely deadlift, always make sure your form is good, and only lift what you feel is comfortable/achievable with proper form.
Yeah, yet he claims that power cleans are somehow safer than a deadlift. With that sentence all his credibility went out of the window for me personally.
Dude ...... That was he was SAYING - "PROPER FORM IS REALLY HARD", THE RISK AND REWARD ISNT WORTH IT. So find a replacement to Deadlifts insted. Like Farm Walk that works.
@@dmitri2366 bro, what? hes one of the world strongest men who literally lift weights for a living, how does he lose credibility lmao..... to answer your comment power cleans are safer than deadlifts because deadlifts use both your back and legs at the same time, cleans should preserve your back angle while your knees extend. therefore less likely to cause injury to your lower back. and guess what, i know nothing of lifting weights, all it took was a quick google search, which is what you shouldve done before saying "With that sentence all his credibility went out of the window for me personally."
@@Alvah707 I dont think you understand what a power clean is. The problem with a quick Google search is that the information that you find might be incorrect. We are not only talking about the lower back but overall risk of injury. There is no way that a deadlift is mechanically safer than a power clean as it is basically a deadlift and front squat COMBINED. During the lift off you still roughly use the SAME movement pattern and muscles as during a deadlift. Not even to mention that you have to be explosive during a power clean and cannot pace yourself to focus on form like you can in the deadlift. And youre telling me there is some how more risk of injury in a much simpler movement? There are so many contradicting opinions in this industry and a lot of athletes just follow their coaches advice. Experts constantly disagree with eachother. So no disrespect to this individual but what he said simply is not correct.
Watch him on the Off The Ranch channel too. They're the ones that do all of his merchandise and he's featured on there quite a bit. Oberst is an awesome dude.
I used to deadlift 425 for reps of 12; nice, slow, controlled form. Never had a day of back pain in my life. Strong core and glutes = injury free. Then some lady rear ended me with her car and now I’m fucked. Blows

@@MaHan05 usually I don't have problems after deadlifting... Maybe it was just a bad day. Tbf the training was a bit longer than usual, on the deadlifts I didn't even go as heavy as I go most of the time. Maybe I did to much barbell rows along with it....
@@siberianTiger639 hopefully you didn't do the rows before deadlifts.. that would be stupid as hell. You don't want to exhaust your upper back muscles before you do deadlifts.

I took time off from lifting and all through my 30s I injured myself trying to lift close to my athletic peak. Eventually I just started lifting with the bar and I started to feel amazing. I don’t even care what I lift anymore. I’ll just keep slowing adding weights and feel amazing. I wish someone taught me that when I was young.
I’m with you guys. I’ve been weak my whole life and started lifting two years ago and just started with the bar, slowing adding weight. Agreed… it’s not about how much weight you lift but how you lift it and the weight only goes up once you need more to stay on your desired rep range
@@DC-bx8ww I did progressive lifting didn't lift a bar alone from 1st day, deadlifted upto 350 lbs peak, but most of the time I lifted upto 270 lbs only, I am doing all that on a natural diet, not even supplements, never even put a strap on my waist, the key was to lift for fitness and not gains, it was always to get small burn and than thats all, the ones doing heavy lifting end up like Ronnie Coleman, it's stupid how PPL lift so much weight only to regret later in their lives, they're not even athletes on top of that.

A lot of people who get hurt deadlifting try to lift near their one rep max. It’s insane how much progress I’ve made just by adding deadlifts to my workout routine. I spent a long time making sure I have proper form and I mean so far so good. 🤷🏼♂️ Exercise advice is all over the place
Idk man we only have 1 spine. If I can get those same benefits from other exercises then why risk it? Every guy Ive seen that has quit the gym has been because they either got lazy or injured their back deadlifting heavy.
I think I blocked this guy playing high school football in Santa Cruz. Edit: Yes, I definitely did. I was a center, he was a nose. He planted me in a puddle and I almost drown... I'm all good now.
I injured my lower back twice. Once lifting my father off the ground after he had fallen and the first time I ever did heavy deadlifts. This is what Robert is talking about. In both situations I didn't lift properly, in the first I didn't even have the strength to do it at all. I then began watching tutorials daily and checking back constantly to make sure I was performing the lift properly. Lifted for about four years after that, with the deadlift being one of my core strength building exercises. Never once had another issue again, because I was doing them correctly. Robert's advice shouldn't be "don't perform deadlifts.". It should be, "don't perform deadlifts if you're not serious about mastering correct form and performance of this exercise.". Granted, he is right, most people, like myself in the beginning, probably won't. But if one is going to learn to safely and properly do the deadlift, then it is actually quite bad advice to advise against "ever" doing it. It's a natural lifting movement that humans have been performing for millennia. It works several key muscle groups and can be great for building beast like power when lifting heavy and correctly.
I dont do squats or deadlifts tho. It takes only one repetition and even professional bodybuilders get injuries and back surgery even more than normal people. If youre not a pro bodybuilder then theres no point fing you back like that. since I stopped performing them I stopped haviong low back pains and feel much better. If you do gym for hyperthrophy then theres really no gain to it imo
@@ricardodelacrvz1400 It boosts your testosterone and stimulates the CNS to adapt and make you stronger, it can contribute to strength in your other lifts indirectly. It's a great foundational strength exercise. It's all about maintaining correct form.
You can do proper form for 30 days straight but all it takes is just 1 day you feel tired & you perform an improper rep & destroy your back. Way too dangerous
@@martinjohnson4796 So long as you contract your lats properly, push your chest out and drive through your heels you won't have a problem. Ironically if you're ensuring your form is correct you won't be able to lift it if you're tired and you let it go. A rounded back can actually enable you to lift a weight more easily but it's more dangerous. When I started deadlifting at 21 I went up to 230kg in a few weeks and my form on that 1RM was horrible. I look back and thank God I didn't do my back in but I was young I guess.
It's not worth it tho. Yea maybe it's a great workout but it doesn't matter how u much master ur technique, just one slip up and ur back is done for life.
5 years of watching joe rogan, he finally found a bigfoot for his podcast edit: this comment has more likes then i have views on videos.. now thats sad as fuq
I admire these strong men and their abilities. I used to lift weights and wanted to get strong. I did get strong but only strong relative to the average man. This Gus and guys like him are true strong men! It is unbelievable the weight he can lift. This requires a genetic advantage but also a lot of work to get so strong. These giant strong men often seem to be really nice and polite. I guess when you can kick the crap out of an elephant you don’t need go around acting tough and dominant.
@@aarontuplin yeah, there is a risk to not deadlifting This advice is completely unfounded. Yeah he lifts a lot of heavy shit. He's also in the extreme side of the spectrum where lifting heavy shit all the time is what he does. There's a nice balance you need for overall health

Oberst knows this because as soon as it happened he went and talked shit on Rob Kearny's IG about it. If he were to go try and break the current log record held by Big Z at 228kg he would fail and look like an idiot. That's why he hasn't done it, because he can't... if he could why not go do it? Why not go retake the American record at least? He just talks shit and acts tough and will never go attempt it, because he knows he can't really do it. He doesn't hold the log record (American or world), he's not top 10 in the world as he stated, and he couldn't go out right now and hit 228kg+ on the log lift.
@@travish325 i feel you are missing a perspective of his which is in the title of this video. Robert is saying this sport is destructive on the body in so many ways even with mindful vigilance. watch videos of him breaking the world records when he did this, it looks extremely taxing on the body for such a short time period. Even if he truly could break the current record continually or whichever, every time anybody does it, it is going to cause considerable damage to the body.

Messing up my lower back trying to show off to friends in high school was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made in my life... never worth pushing past your limits when it comes to your back.
Bodybuilders have been saying this for years. From Dexter Jackson to Kali Muscle. Deadlifts are the recipe for back destruction. I never did them. As a football player. Basketball player. And now in my late 30s I’m so glad I didn’t and I still don’t. Take notes kids. Health is wealth. Hold on to it. ✌🏾

@@Theone.fitness Its a higher risk than those exercises because they're not compound. But if you try to show off on a squat or bench, that's a recipe for disaster.
@@jackhughman9450 For one event still called deadlift, strongman uses a lot of block pulls. For the record Sigmarsson held several standard deadlift records in his day.
He is correct, deadlifts for a majority of people aren't worth the risk because there is so much technique involved and if you're not competing in powerlifting there is so many other ways you can work your hamstrings and lower back without risking herniating a disc.
If you're more scared of herniating a disc than strengthening the correct muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones to prevent it, don't even bother getting out of your bed in the morning. Lift with good bracing, know your limits and you'll be fine.
Deadlifts are worth it; the benefits are huge. They're safe if you don't royally screw up your form and don't do them too often. There's fairly little technique involved. Brace correctly (sucking in air, flexing core muscles), load the traps with shoulders over the bar, pull with your posterior chain, and shoot your hips forward when the bar gets past the knees. If you don't pull more weight than you can handle and flex your glutes throughout the movement, your back will be fine. Supplement with back extensions as an accessory movement and you'll have a lower back that's healthier than the vast majority of people.
Talking about fitness is exactly like talking about car maintenance. As soon as you bring up the subject everyone and their mom is suddenly a professional who has knowledge unattainable by the internet.

@joseph sayle i have never heard of anyone getting hurt lowering the weight. Not saying you're wrong necessarily but I just don't see how that is possible. When you deadlift a bunch of weight most people just kind of drop it to the floor with little resistance. Seems pretty safe to me....
Eik rule number 1. Don’t listen to mark rippetoe. The dude is a powerlifting ideologue who thinks the answer to all of life’s problems is lifting more weight and getting stronger at squat, bench and deadlift
i listened to this dude and have been feeling much better. was getting some bad hip pain from having to lower the bar slowly (downstairs neighbors). now i have a hex bar with bumper plates and it's so much better. instead of getting pain in my hips when i lower it slowly i just feel nice activation in the hamstrings. feels like it's working the muscles i want to build rather than just building up my spinal erectors and making me all stiff.
@os terminal Everyone's recovery is different...I'd find a good physio and religiously work the exercises. Maybe if you injured it working out find a different way of keeping fit.
@os terminal maybe you are deadlifting too often bro, I was doing it heavy twice a week but my back started to hurt really back. Now I do it once a week, also on my last two heavy sets Im wearing a lifting belt. Btw for some people it takes 8-10 days to recover from deadlifting
I call bullshit. you were either deadlifting too often, or not properly at all. I know lifters well into their 60s that are still dead lifting respectable weight. Deadlifting isnt an ego lift, neither is the squat or press. If you know wtf you're doing and have one or two credible coaches that are teaching you you can mow your lawn with two lawn mowers at the same time. Lifting increases you bone density with a properly diet and consistency, not the other way around
Dr Stuart McGill has helped repair many athletes backs to the point where they can compete again! Check out his work. Based on his recommendations, here are the exercises to fix your back - 45 degree hyperextensions, planks, side planks, modified crunches (called McGill Curl Ups), hip thrusts, bird dog.

Do what works for you. Some people are good at deadlifts, some people get injured. Important thing is to just lift. I don't do cleans because of joint issues in my elbows and hands from sports injuries, but I do deadlift, and I've never been injured. I just don't go nuts and lift more than I should and always use proper form.
I enjoy dead-lifts because of the raw visceral feeling of lifting heavy weight from the floor, but after talking to my chiropractor about the long-term effects on the spine I am a bit more apprehensive. I now take a more thoughtful approach to lifting and have also incorporated some mat Pilates workouts which I highly recommend since it trains your body in ranges of motion we tend to neglect. You may laugh but your 65+ year old self will thank you one day. Also I'm also surprised no one brings up Ronnie Coleman and the toll heavy lifting did to his body. It's truly sad.
No need to laugh at recovering your body for the long term let ego go stop caring about what others think just do whats best for you stretching pilates and yoga will make your lifting better.

Like when I do manual labor and I have to pick up heavy or multiple bags of concrete or sand off the floor, that is basically a deadlift. If you were a farmer and had to pick up a heavy stone to remove it from your field, that would be a deadlift too, so I find it natural actually as long as you're not just doing super heavy weights or focusing too much on that exercise
Patricio Ansaldi lol wut? When you pick heavy shit up, you get under it, you don’t grab a bar, grabbing regular heavy stuff is way closer to just regular squat. Stop acting like you have any idea what you are talking about

@@kingbjorn1832 nah he is stupid and doesn’t know what he is talking about. Deadlifting is king of testing strength. Robert is just a shitty deadlifter so he makes up bullshit to cope how bad he sucks at it. He never won a WSM and that is why I think he is just a fat guy that drinks beer. Meanwhile people like me train like athletes and want to get real strong. So we should do cleans instead? That is proof he has no clue what he is talking about. I am betting money I’m stronger than he is already and I’m 100% natty
@@JoeyCentral you do realize he’s talking about traditional deads right? There’s no reason to do em outside of oly and power lifting/ wsm. Bc like he said risk vs reward isn’t there. That’s why you see the huge influx in sumo deads, and even trap bar deads. Trap bar you can get all the benefits without any of the dangerous injuries that might be prone to traditional.

Seriously. Deadlifting is fine if you practice form and technique. The problems is most people that just lift casually have shit form.
And most people that lift casually don't really need it.
No again as he said there is a reason real athletes dont do them. They are super dangerous for the gains u get when u can get the same gains with other less risky weight training.
Thabestevah not dangerous at all properly done...much rather do a heavy DL than a heavy squat. Further there are countless real athletes that deadlift....I’m not talking about maxing.
@@33moneyball but why do it when u can do other things that don't put your back in jeopardy of you slip up on form slightly. I would never try to max deadlift bc i like my back too much and can do other things to work those muscle groups. Like he said it just seems like an unneccasary risk to take from a reward
isk perspective
It's kind of disheartening how there's so much conflicting advice in the realms of exercise and nutritional science; you could ask ten different experts and they would give you ten different lines of advice on what to eat and how best to work out. I know it's hard to come up with conclusive studies in those fields based on the nature of the problem but it'd be nice if there were some kind of authoritative source that you could look up and get a universally agreed upon answer to any health or fitness related question that you might have.
I think the best thing to do is to just try out a bunch of different techniques yourself and see which one gets you the best results and just take what all these so called experts say with a grain of salt
It's just about finding the right resources, and looking in the right places. Instagram nutritionists/coaches will generally always give you misinformation because they're just trying to sell a product. Dive into the research to verify what you learn. And always be suspicious of taking anecdotal evidence to heart - like advice that you shouldn't deadlift.
Right? It’s ridiculous
The problem is everyone in the nutrition or fitness world has an agenda and is trying to sell you something.
Well duh everybody is different
My chiropractor told me to deadlift to keep my spine strong and aligned. Fast forward 10 years and I have zero issues with my back.
Yeah if you’re not blasting juice to be over 400 pounds to lift 1,000 and pushing the limits of human anatomy, deadlifts are actually great for you.
@@flexinriffs9926 THIS. This is so freaking true
@@flexinriffs9926 yeah the problem is when people see strongmen deadlifting more than 3x their bodyweight and think that the equation works backwards, so they're 200lb and think that they can deadlift 600lb.

I've done bodybuilding and power lifting my entire life, one day I did deadlifts not even that heavy as usually I would go to about 500lbs, this time I had like half that weight. The following night I woke up with a disc in my nerve and muscle tissue, somehow my deadlift fucked my entire lower back and I didn't feel anything until hours later. I was brought to the hospital and couldn't walk for months, had to teach myself again. To this day, I can barely workout, barely walk, barely do anything.
Damn
Did u actually get it xrayed?
@@yomomshouse100 yes
Deads used to be my best life. I was early 20s and just warming up. Did 315 warming up . Picked it up and tweaked my back. I didn't rack the weights I just left cause I knew I'd get tight. 5 minute car ride home and I had to crawl out the car. Dead are the only thing that gave me injuries. I'm 36 now. I still do deads. But I'll go to chiropractor and stretch and get massages regularly. I do 225 easy. Sometimes 275. I don't need to do 500 for reps. Noones paying me to do it. Used to tweak my back once every year or two.

People, this man isn’t telling us to not do deadlifts. What he’s saying is that the risk factor is high, especially if you’re doing heavy weight. That’s why athletes like to stay away from it. To safely deadlift, always make sure your form is good, and only lift what you feel is comfortable/achievable with proper form.
Yeah, yet he claims that power cleans are somehow safer than a deadlift. With that sentence all his credibility went out of the window for me personally.
Dude ...... That was he was SAYING - "PROPER FORM IS REALLY HARD", THE RISK AND REWARD ISNT WORTH IT.
So find a replacement to Deadlifts insted. Like Farm Walk that works.
@@el29 Yet he claims that power clean is a safer alternative... This makes no sense whatsoever.
@@dmitri2366 bro, what? hes one of the world strongest men who literally lift weights for a living, how does he lose credibility lmao..... to answer your comment power cleans are safer than deadlifts because deadlifts use both your back and legs at the same time, cleans should preserve your back angle while your knees extend. therefore less likely to cause injury to your lower back. and guess what, i know nothing of lifting weights, all it took was a quick google search, which is what you shouldve done before saying "With that sentence all his credibility went out of the window for me personally."
@@Alvah707 I dont think you understand what a power clean is. The problem with a quick Google search is that the information that you find might be incorrect. We are not only talking about the lower back but overall risk of injury. There is no way that a deadlift is mechanically safer than a power clean as it is basically a deadlift and front squat COMBINED. During the lift off you still roughly use the SAME movement pattern and muscles as during a deadlift. Not even to mention that you have to be explosive during a power clean and cannot pace yourself to focus on form like you can in the deadlift. And youre telling me there is some how more risk of injury in a much simpler movement? There are so many contradicting opinions in this industry and a lot of athletes just follow their coaches advice. Experts constantly disagree with eachother. So no disrespect to this individual but what he said simply is not correct.

I think the problem is people lifting way more than what they probably need for fitness.
I took time off from lifting and all through my 30s I injured myself trying to lift close to my athletic peak. Eventually I just started lifting with the bar and I started to feel amazing. I don’t even care what I lift anymore. I’ll just keep slowing adding weights and feel amazing. I wish someone taught me that when I was young.
exactly why i started deadlifts with the bar, built my form and tendons first. Haven't had back pain since.
I’m with you guys. I’ve been weak my whole life and started lifting two years ago and just started with the bar, slowing adding weight. Agreed… it’s not about how much weight you lift but how you lift it and the weight only goes up once you need more to stay on your desired rep range
@@DC-bx8ww I did progressive lifting didn't lift a bar alone from 1st day, deadlifted upto 350 lbs peak, but most of the time I lifted upto 270 lbs only, I am doing all that on a natural diet, not even supplements, never even put a strap on my waist, the key was to lift for fitness and not gains, it was always to get small burn and than thats all, the ones doing heavy lifting end up like Ronnie Coleman, it's stupid how PPL lift so much weight only to regret later in their lives, they're not even athletes on top of that.

I injured my lower back twice. Once lifting my father off the ground after he had fallen and the first time I ever did heavy deadlifts. This is what Robert is talking about. In both situations I didn't lift properly, in the first I didn't even have the strength to do it at all.
I then began watching tutorials daily and checking back constantly to make sure I was performing the lift properly. Lifted for about four years after that, with the deadlift being one of my core strength building exercises. Never once had another issue again, because I was doing them correctly.
Robert's advice shouldn't be "don't perform deadlifts.". It should be, "don't perform deadlifts if you're not serious about mastering correct form and performance of this exercise.".
Granted, he is right, most people, like myself in the beginning, probably won't. But if one is going to learn to safely and properly do the deadlift, then it is actually quite bad advice to advise against "ever" doing it. It's a natural lifting movement that humans have been performing for millennia. It works several key muscle groups and can be great for building beast like power when lifting heavy and correctly.
I dont do squats or deadlifts tho. It takes only one repetition and even professional bodybuilders get injuries and back surgery even more than normal people. If youre not a pro bodybuilder then theres no point fing you back like that. since I stopped performing them I stopped haviong low back pains and feel much better. If you do gym for hyperthrophy then theres really no gain to it imo
@@ricardodelacrvz1400 It boosts your testosterone and stimulates the CNS to adapt and make you stronger, it can contribute to strength in your other lifts indirectly. It's a great foundational strength exercise. It's all about maintaining correct form.
You can do proper form for 30 days straight but all it takes is just 1 day you feel tired & you perform an improper rep & destroy your back. Way too dangerous
@@martinjohnson4796 So long as you contract your lats properly, push your chest out and drive through your heels you won't have a problem. Ironically if you're ensuring your form is correct you won't be able to lift it if you're tired and you let it go. A rounded back can actually enable you to lift a weight more easily but it's more dangerous. When I started deadlifting at 21 I went up to 230kg in a few weeks and my form on that 1RM was horrible. I look back and thank God I didn't do my back in but I was young I guess.
It's not worth it tho. Yea maybe it's a great workout but it doesn't matter how u much master ur technique, just one slip up and ur back is done for life.

His muscles and proportions are so big it doesn't make him seem that tall and actually makes him seem shorter. His shoulder muscle is like the size of a human head lol.
More often than not, Robert Oberst has been on a daily 20,000 calorie diet.
I tried deadlifting when I first started to lift and I never got comfortable with it. I stopped soon after and I've still managed to get pretty okay back gains while keeping my back healthy 👌🏼

Came here for this comment 😂
ego is the only reason the average person gets hurt doing deadlifts
Nope, sometimes it is just general tiredness as well. Deadlifts is a complex exercise that is very easy to be fucked up when you're a bit tired.
Deadlift is one of the easiest movers every, bend down, lift bar@@mcmohitchauhan21
This man said, “I could break it right now.” And I didn’t doubt him for a second 😂
record is 228 kg, no way he could beat it.
He doesn't even hold the American record anymore... He ain't beating the world record anytime soon
I dont think he would say that on a popular public platform if he wasnt confident that it was true. It is the man's career.
@@brandonbaseler240 he is a huge shit talker and has never really backed up his BS. He had the American log record and Rob Kearny beat it in April. Oberst knows this because as soon as it happened he went and talked shit on Rob Kearny's IG about it. If he were to go try and break the current log record held by Big Z at 228kg he would fail and look like an idiot. That's why he hasn't done it, because he can't... if he could why not go do it? Why not go retake the American record at least? He just talks shit and acts tough and will never go attempt it, because he knows he can't really do it. He doesn't hold the log record (American or world), he's not top 10 in the world as he stated, and he couldn't go out right now and hit 228kg+ on the log lift.
@@travish325 i feel you are missing a perspective of his which is in the title of this video. Robert is saying this sport is destructive on the body in so many ways even with mindful vigilance. watch videos of him breaking the world records when he did this, it looks extremely taxing on the body for such a short time period.
Even if he truly could break the current record continually or whichever, every time anybody does it, it is going to cause considerable damage to the body.

KOTOR 1&2 was my life
Look at how any gymbro does deadlifts with a banana back hitch, and what this dude is saying is absolutely true.
gf: honey, where tf is our money?
lifter: ate it.
Sounds about right.
Seriously, you gotta wonder what this guy puts down. I'm guessing a lot of eggs for one thing...
This comment needs more attention.
There's a couple videos on here dedicated to just how much he eats lol
Messing up my lower back trying to show off to friends in high school was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made in my life... never worth pushing past your limits when it comes to your back.
Bodybuilders have been saying this for years. From Dexter Jackson to Kali Muscle. Deadlifts are the recipe for back destruction. I never did them. As a football player. Basketball player. And now in my late 30s I’m so glad I didn’t and I still don’t. Take notes kids. Health is wealth. Hold on to it. ✌🏾
@@ZOWO3000 trying to show off on bench can tear your pecs, trying to show off on squats can fuck your knees, trying to show off on a bicycle can break your skull. its not the excercise its how you perform it
@THE NPC you mean it's same risk when you do a bicep curl or a lat pulldown when compared to deadlifts??
@@Theone.fitness Its a higher risk than those exercises because they're not compound. But if you try to show off on a squat or bench, that's a recipe for disaster.
@THE NPC says the NPC who doesn't work out, doesn't understand why not to do deadlifts and is a mongoloid in general
"There is no reason to be alive if you cannot do deadlift". ~John Paul Sigmarsson

Didnt he die after a deadlifting session?
@@robjohnson5981 you have to live it
@@jackhughman9450 For one event still called deadlift, strongman uses a lot of block pulls. For the record Sigmarsson held several standard deadlift records in his day.
He is correct, deadlifts for a majority of people aren't worth the risk because there is so much technique involved and if you're not competing in powerlifting there is so many other ways you can work your hamstrings and lower back without risking herniating a disc.
If you're more scared of herniating a disc than strengthening the correct muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones to prevent it, don't even bother getting out of your bed in the morning. Lift with good bracing, know your limits and you'll be fine.
Deadlifts are worth it; the benefits are huge. They're safe if you don't royally screw up your form and don't do them too often. There's fairly little technique involved. Brace correctly (sucking in air, flexing core muscles), load the traps with shoulders over the bar, pull with your posterior chain, and shoot your hips forward when the bar gets past the knees. If you don't pull more weight than you can handle and flex your glutes throughout the movement, your back will be fine. Supplement with back extensions as an accessory movement and you'll have a lower back that's healthier than the vast majority of people.
@@SendEstringsForXmas not worth it
Lol so theres more technique in a deadlift than in a powerclean?
@@SendEstringsForXmas deadlifting has literally no benefit you cant get from other, much safer excercises.
The thing about exercise is you could ask 10 different pro's and they could give you 10 different answers
Talking about fitness is exactly like talking about car maintenance. As soon as you bring up the subject everyone and their mom is suddenly a professional who has knowledge unattainable by the internet.
he should ask caitlyn jenner what his workout routine is to get such a masculine figure
Cantthinkofaname what sucks is a lot of them have the body to back it up. So who do you believe?
Your workout routine really depends on what your personal goal is, get bulky, slim down, tone, and so many other things, which can be done several ways for people who all have different metabolisms
dont look to the internet for everything ask a mechnic
This is one step closer to big Brian Shaw being on the podcast.. guarantee he'll be on in the next 2 months
they will probably have to take down the walls to get Shaw in the studio
Hope so
@J G either would be so great
That would be a great one. Shaw can definitely pontificate. Joe will probably have to end the show at 3.5 hours or else it will never end.
@@ganon602 you're right but Shaw will probably be too hungry before they get to that mark lol
Joe should get Eddie Hall on, world record holder at deadlift and ex-world strongest man
Did you hear he tore is bicep a few days ago.
Eddie hall isn't the most likeable person though.. very very egotistical and can be a bit of a bully
JustJordan he would be a great guest
@@Jacob_the_Dabbler I disagree with that, I think he has a healthy relationship when it comes to banter with Brian Shaw and Robert, he always congratulates his opponent if he gets beat. If you wanna talk about ego then I would say Thor is more egotistical.
Jacob The Embalmer nah, Eddie is actually a gentleman, he’s just a character. None of these guys are really all that humble. You can’t become the strongest man on planet earth without some degree of egocentricity
From my understanding, he is not saying you can't do deadlifts, just that it is high risk.
Yes everyone can master or learn the form well. But 1 bad day is all it takes
Cleans are safer? Robert clearly hasn't seen highschool ballers clean...
I know, how does that make sense
Drop the weights!
@joseph sayle Citation desperately needed
@joseph sayle powerclean starts from the same position as a deadlift
@joseph sayle i have never heard of anyone getting hurt lowering the weight. Not saying you're wrong necessarily but I just don't see how that is possible. When you deadlift a bunch of weight most people just kind of drop it to the floor with little resistance. Seems pretty safe to me....

Joe, Jeff cavalier posted a video concerning obersts opinion on deadlifts. Get him on the podcast so we can hear his thoughts about it!
Link? I can't find it.
@@eikoslamiad go to AthleanX channel
I would die if Jeff came on to JRE. Would love it
Oh him. I got my mother doing deadlifts after showing her Mark Rippetoe stuff and this fat guy's got my worried. Will check out what Jeff has to say.
Eik rule number 1. Don’t listen to mark rippetoe. The dude is a powerlifting ideologue who thinks the answer to all of life’s problems is lifting more weight and getting stronger at squat, bench and deadlift
This is the most chill podcast I've ever seen you can just see the synergy between those two
i listened to this dude and have been feeling much better. was getting some bad hip pain from having to lower the bar slowly (downstairs neighbors). now i have a hex bar with bumper plates and it's so much better. instead of getting pain in my hips when i lower it slowly i just feel nice activation in the hamstrings. feels like it's working the muscles i want to build rather than just building up my spinal erectors and making me all stiff.
Mess up your back, it's for life. I can barely mow my lawn. Too many rear end collisions, messed me up good.
Do not risk your health ego lifting.
You gotta go check out dr.jhonson, get that ring dinger!
@os terminal Everyone's recovery is different...I'd find a good physio and religiously work the exercises. Maybe if you injured it working out find a different way of keeping fit.
@os terminal maybe you are deadlifting too often bro, I was doing it heavy twice a week but my back started to hurt really back. Now I do it once a week, also on my last two heavy sets Im wearing a lifting belt.
Btw for some people it takes 8-10 days to recover from deadlifting
I call bullshit. you were either deadlifting too often, or not properly at all. I know lifters well into their 60s that are still dead lifting respectable weight. Deadlifting isnt an ego lift, neither is the squat or press. If you know wtf you're doing and have one or two credible coaches that are teaching you you can mow your lawn with two lawn mowers at the same time. Lifting increases you bone density with a properly diet and consistency, not the other way around
Dr Stuart McGill has helped repair many athletes backs to the point where they can compete again! Check out his work. Based on his recommendations, here are the exercises to fix your back - 45 degree hyperextensions, planks, side planks, modified crunches (called McGill Curl Ups), hip thrusts, bird dog.

Love this guy. He's so modest, like he doesn't really realise how awesome he is! LOL X
deovision 4:54 he realises.
Do what works for you. Some people are good at deadlifts, some people get injured. Important thing is to just lift. I don't do cleans because of joint issues in my elbows and hands from sports injuries, but I do deadlift, and I've never been injured. I just don't go nuts and lift more than I should and always use proper form.

I enjoy dead-lifts because of the raw visceral feeling of lifting heavy weight from the floor, but after talking to my chiropractor about the long-term effects on the spine I am a bit more apprehensive. I now take a more thoughtful approach to lifting and have also incorporated some mat Pilates workouts which I highly recommend since it trains your body in ranges of motion we tend to neglect. You may laugh but your 65+ year old self will thank you one day. Also I'm also surprised no one brings up Ronnie Coleman and the toll heavy lifting did to his body. It's truly sad.
Chiropractors are pseudoscience lol
X-Rays don't lie
No need to laugh at recovering your body for the long term let ego go stop caring about what others think just do whats best for you stretching pilates and yoga will make your lifting better.
I looked it up , Ronnie Coleman had 13 spine surgeries and was left nearly paralyzed .. sheesh
@@jayz6008 yeah but none of us are pushing the weight Ronnie is, he was moving heavy ass weight for years and that took a toll on him. I think we’re fine, unless you plan on being competition ready like Ronnie
