      I agree with you . several years ago I was like the guy at the end of this video doing it all wrong with a taco back. Now I've been working my way back with good form. Even though is harder, but easier in a way, because I'm less sore, not like I'm herniating my spine every time I deadlift now. lol

    • @connorphelps8497
      @connorphelps8497 7 лет назад +17

      +Instagram: ravin.fitness There is a BIG difference between pain and being sore. No, you body doesn't adapt to pain. If you ever have pain when you are training you are doing something wrong.

    • @connorphelps8497
      @connorphelps8497 7 лет назад +6

      That is a completely different type of pain that can't be compared. Getting punched in the head takes a different type of endurance than deadlifting. It still hutst getting punched in the face no matter how many times it happens. Cardiovascular fitness and adrenaline have a large role in pain tolerance. And guess what, if you were to fight perfectly, you would minimise the times you get hit, thus minimise your pain. Regardless, we are not talking about MMA fighters. We are talking about deadlifting with pain, which should never happen. If you lift with correct form and don't have any glaring health problems, you will be pain free.
      When you lift weights with pain, you have bad technique. If you lift heavy, (1-5 reps) your CNS will need to recover. If you lift for more volume (6-12) you are breaking down muscle fibres and will get sore for days afterwards but not in pain.
      I don't get what point you are trying to make here.

    For all you getting butt hurt about your favorite lifters he was saying this isn't they have bad form, they get into proper position before the actual pull, however they're able to do this because of years of intense training. For anyone who's not a very advanced lifter it probably won't work for them. This is a pretty universal ideal across all sports, you have to completely master the fundamentals before you can pull of the advanced moves the pros perform

    • @davekooper
      @davekooper 7 лет назад +35

      Ive tried it the Eddie Hall way, I lost so much power by scooping down that low. Then again I watched a guy do the exact same thing and lift a crazy load right next to me using the same method. Each to their own and like you said, years of training.

    • @alwaysforwardyt
      @alwaysforwardyt 6 лет назад +26

      ln athletes/competitors, l would say that 'bad form' is simply a "pre-performance routine" (like a ritual performed before the execution of the lift).

    • @leonestello8519
      @leonestello8519 5 лет назад +23

      What they are experiencing is the deadlift version of a cheat rep. Basically they're gaining momentum. Anything in motion loses static weight (remember not only this for rolling the bar but these men are also deadlifting their own 350+ lb bodies so that hip drop before the lift provides momentum for getting themselves up off the ground as well) and even more so there is a monosynaptic stretch reflex at play with these techniques. (The stretch reflex (myotatic reflex) is a musclecontraction in response to stretching within the muscle. It is a monosynaptic reflex which provides automatic regulation of skeletal musclelength. When a muscle lengthens, the musclespindle is stretched and its nerve activity increases.) While it is not ideal for beginner lifters, seasoned Pros *DO* utilize these techniques to break records.

    Turns out this is exactly the deadlift video I've been looking for.

I need to lift more deliberately when I get back in the gym (currently recovering from a pulled QL)

Thank you so so much for really going into great detail and giving a lot of examples! What helped me the most was when you said” the position isn’t comfortable” for years I dropped my hips down low in order to feel comfortable deadlifting and I always had major back pain even for the lightest lifts. I honestly can not thank you enough...

    So I set up around it.

    This deadlift setup has been great for me. I've started following those cues since Austin Baraki and Jordan Feigenbaum presented them in their previous videos on the channel. The reps feel consistent and efficient. I used to have the problem of setting my hips too low and in my last pr attempt my hips shot up before the bar left the floor. I had initially thought that I just needed to be stricter about not raising my hips but when I switched to this setup I figured out what Dr. Baraki said here, that I was actually starting too low.

    • @leonestello8519
      @leonestello8519 5 лет назад +7

      What they are experiencing is the deadlift version of a cheat rep. Basically they're gaining momentum. Anything in motion loses static weight (remember not only this for rolling the bar but these men are also deadlifting their own 350+ lb bodies so that hip drop before the lift provides momentum for getting themselves up off the ground as well) and even more so there is a monosynaptic stretch reflex at play with these techniques. (The stretch reflex (myotatic reflex) is a musclecontraction in response to stretching within the muscle. It is a monosynaptic reflex which provides automatic regulation of skeletal musclelength. When a muscle lengthens, the musclespindle is stretched and its nerve activity increases.) While it is not ideal for beginner lifters, seasoned Pros *DO* utilize these techniques to break records.

  • @Cysubtor_8vb
    @Cysubtor_8vb 7 лет назад +6

    I roll the bar into position, but still essentially do the setup steps before I actually lift. I mainly do it as a lat tension cue, so once the bar is in position I shift into an upward pull (upper back muscles) to pull tension out the bar as I set my back. I don't drop my hips down like the strongmen do and it's more of a lack of flexibility thing, being tall & heavy, as I pull myself down into position.
    That being said, sumo is completely different for me and I keep the bar motionless to the point that if I slightly nudge it getting my feet lined up I will backup and completely reset, so I get the logic of doing so with a conventional pull.

  • @dude157

    Great video. I think doing a Hall/Shaw/Magnusson style deadlift allows them to get a kind of "stretch reflex / bounce" by sitting back. Seems to work for them.

    • @Alexander_Tronstad
      @Alexander_Tronstad 7 лет назад +3

      The weight is lifted dead off the floor - no stretch reflex is ever involved.
      Rituals that don't necessarily provide mechanical advantages to the lifts can nevertheless contribute to concentration, and can provide a very real effect therefrom. Kirk Karwoski as an example could not squat heavy without getting angry, Mike Tuchscherer has to breathe out exactly three times before he pulls, etc..

    • @Andrea_Daytona
      @Andrea_Daytona 6 лет назад +1

      I'm pretty sure that their heavy bodyweight can at least pull some slack out of the bar allowing them to gain some inches due to the bar flexing. I saw a video of George Leeman talking about this, probably on supertraining06...

  • @drparks1061
    @drparks1061 7 лет назад +3

    All of this is on point. Love it. However, I do hate that he says "it shouldn't feel comfortable." Yes, one should not expect and seek a comfortable position to pull from and refuse to do anything but pull from that position because it may be a terrible position efficiency-wise. But I believe that phrase would lead some to believe that their position is wrong just because it is comfortable. My deadlift form is on point and I feel strong and efficient as hell when pulling but it also FEELS great. I am in no way uncomfortable when pulling. Yes, every damn muscle in my body is tight, but that doesn't mean that the position is uncomfortable for me, and I would say that one should not EXPECT to be uncomfortable and seek that position. Just wanted to clear some water there.

    I love doing deadlifts. I do it properly. But I fanatically hate the people dropping the weight and causing a small earthquake combined with an ear shattering sound.
    The deadlift is not just getting it off the ground but also putting it back on the ground.
    It's a compound movement.

    • @OldSchoolApprentice
      @OldSchoolApprentice 6 лет назад +9

      It's called bracing or Valsalva maneuver...basically you fill your core with air and you don't release it until the rep is completed then you restart, the reason behind it is when your diaphragm is full with air your core (abs,obliques,lower back) is stronger and less likely that it will bend because you have internal pressure holding your spine. It's called Valsalva maneuver or bracing,there are pretty good videos on youtube explaining how to do it look them up and It's a must if you're weight lifting because it will protect you against injuries and you can lift a lot more weight if done properly, but the safety part is the most important reason to learn it.Hope this was helpful.

      Metal Jim Little late response, but hey ho. What he is saying is that it's wssted energy and even the top guys pulls from the starting point they are explaining in the video. Rolling the bar is wasted energy what can easily be skipped. But as they have learned such habit years and years ago it works for them. But there is no reason to do so.

    Alans previous video helped me nail down a couple of issues I was having with my lift. I was on and off with my 440 lift, I'd get it one week and not hit it for 4 weeks or even more sometimes. Since watching the first video I've increased it consistently to 462 with no yelling or anything, just nice and smooth movements each time. Its also helped considerably with back pains caused by hip issues Ive had since I was young.
