    Derek, I cannot tell you how many countless hours I've spent watching deadlift tutorial videos, trying to understand the concept, then apply it to the gym later that week. I've done this for years at this point, and it's always still led to sub-optimal technique, just in different variations.
    I just came back from the gym today and THIS was legitimately the only cue I've seen (out of HUNDREDS of videos) that worked. Seriously, this is incredible advice.

      Very appreciated! I'm glad that the video helped.

      I think I'm misunderstanding the video? It seems like you want use the upper back to hyperextend the weight up instead of using the lats to pull the slack out of the bar

    • @wilcoxstrengthinc

      @ajaj-yq6re the lats help pull the shoulders back, yes. But the erector spinae muscles in the mid back pull the spine into extension which pulls the hips into proper position with some anterior tilt

    I got my deadlift to 700 lbs by squatting it and having constant back tweaks....this is the best video I have ever seen on wedging. Can't wait to try this!

    Thanks a lot for this tip. The deadlift is so complicated to perform especially when a person is a rookie.

    Awesome. So is it the hams/glutes that fires up first ot is it the quad? Just righ before you pull the weight up off teh ground?

    • @wilcoxstrengthinc
      @wilcoxstrengthinc  11 месяцев назад +5

      Great question! The quads will almost always contract well in a deadlift. The wedge helps bring in the posterior chain most effectively to create a more equal contribution from all of them together. A synergistic effect biomechanically you could say

    • @simeontodorov8657
      @simeontodorov8657 11 месяцев назад

      So they kinda work in relation between each other? I guess the "wedge" is that lock'd position where you feel tension/force throughout the body that makes the bar lift without you "lifting it"? I was doing some DL today and felt it hard on quads/knee/lower back, I guess the chain wasnt locked so my glutes stayed out of the game.
      Also when trying to push with legs is it ok to push a bit like you try to spread the ground below you on half? Something simillar to sumo DL, or you should focus on more like a "squat" push? I think I can activate my glutes a bi more when trying to"spread push". I've also saw few videos where once you get in position you are adviced to push your knees out so they touch your arms. @@wilcoxstrengthinc

    • @wilcoxstrengthinc
      @wilcoxstrengthinc  11 месяцев назад +1

      @@simeontodorov8657 Yes, that tension that feels like you're lifting it before you pull. Getting your knees pushed out to the sides will help you start in a more upright position and that itself helps lock the posterior chain into the start as well.

    • @simeontodorov8657

      Oh and one last thing. The direction of my knees (when I spred them out) should follow the direction of the feet I guess? I use to put my feet pretty str forward but now when thinking of that knee spread I think I should twitc hthem a bit just so they follow the same direction?@@wilcoxstrengthinc
