I don't know if this is still a active channel. If it is, a video on Hex bar deadlifting would be phenomenal for all the army soldiers that are now required to do hex bar deadlifting.
Love the videos, Tom! I have a request for one of your next videos. I was wondering if you could shed some light on the dogma that a curved back is a bad thing (during deadlifts, sitting down, posture, etc.). It could be incredibly beneficial to increase stability and strength in these positions yet people are saying you should ALWAYS keep your back straight because you will ALWAYS get hurt because for some reason our ability to curve our spine is a design flaw.
+Mitch Moore According to some extreme interpretations of Stu McGill's work, it *is* a design flaw ;) But in all seriousness, I imagine that Tom might have some reasonably choice words on the topic. I'd be game to see what he puts out if he decides to address it. We can safely assume that the "always" and "never" mentalities will be appropriately criticized, as there are very few absolutes in this world. I'm personally of the opinion that there is a lot of dogma (even, or perhaps especially, within the "evidence-based" fitness crowd) about what things are or are not dangerous in terms of joint mechanics. People will take one or two studies way out of context and say, "See?!? I TOLD you that this exercise/movement/technique was the worst thing in the world!" It'll be nice to see more people take a nuanced approach to these things and make for a more evolved, professional industry. Hopefully that begins to take hold in our lifetimes :-P
Love your stuff, can you please do a squat video on how to keep spine neutral and cues like 'sitting back' and address things like 'knees first vs hips first' . Your insight on these would be really helpful.
Hi Mr. Purvis,thanks for your great job,could you join the youtube community so we could put subtitles to your videos? We would like to make them available to people of different countries,thanks.
+Nick Lehnhoff By "get out of my head" i'm sure you mean "thanks for the logical information I never knew before watching this video because I never studied biomechanics like this guy" right?
Nice to see some non-dogmatic info on these movements out there. Too many headstrong idiots out there telling us the “one true way” of lifting and causing injuries.
100% agree with you. I've been fighting non stop with the ignorance that's on the net about "1 range of motion fits all" crap. Great job.
Great info once again. Looking forward to part 2!
Very, very good. Part 2 is highly anticipated :)
finally someone explained why I'm deadlifting way better than squatting :D Thanks mate!

Absolutely right! Paused deficit deadlifts babyyyy ....
Fan-freaking-tastic! Onto part 2!
Write a book Tom! Thanks for the info 👍
Finally, new videos!!!!!
Tom loves the squat so much, he kept saying squat instead of deadlift lol
Great video nonetheless!
MOAR!!!!
One size does not fit all.
Great video.
great vid! keep it up

I have been severely under educated. how can I take this program please??
Where do I buy that metal model?
Where can I get a model like this? So helpful.
I never seem to be able to disagree with you on any points. It's actually kind of miraculous. Get out of my head.

No one squats down to the bar when they deadlift, they’re hinging.

You still didn't explain deadlift proportions properly like you did with squats.
buff dudes on the screen!
Your mom must be thrilled!
Thanks!
Ben's podcast haha
lot of talking ,but...
