Started powerlifting 6 months ago I am 40 years old never worked out in my life . Going to Max out my DL today . So far my squat is 315 hoping and wishing for 400DL . This video gave me more confidence and the armpit protection is the best way to explain last activation! Only 2 hours until max out let’s goo!! Subscribed
I managed to get my PR to 320lbs. I started going to the gym this year but sadly they have to close it again mid April due to Covid 2nd wave. I only have 30lbs weight at home😭
New JuggernautAI user. Thanks I’ll try these. I’m too fat (working on it) and it’s messing up my setup. Have to put feet wider or my knees bow and I lose strength from the floor.
I struggle to brace and lock my core in the starting position of a deadlift. Subsequently the first rep is always the hardest , reps 2 -5 always feel easier when I'm following the groove. I've noticed athletes like Kristen Dunsmore take their breath before they grip the bar, then set up and lift reasonably quickly. Would this kind of setup be a benefit in my situation or is it more of a personal preference ?
what would be a pre deadlift training for someone that never did it before (did many other form of training) and had a bulged discs L5 years ago, how could I possibly start deadlifting without hurting myself? What to train and how long before trying a single deadlift? Anybody? Thanks
I've dealt with herniated discs as well, make sure you're doing a lot of this: ruclips.net/video/czyqxXOtmxU/видео.html Complimented by some of this: ruclips.net/video/PrZeUbDDk1M/видео.html and then starting off your deadlift training in a way you can get in good positions, this likely means elevating the bar on blocks and then progressing down to the floor over a number of weeks.
Hello from Chicago, Chad! I have a partial torn bicep tendon at the right elbow. Orthopedic doc said no reason for surgery at this moment. Anyway, should I stick with both hands in the overhand grip position at all times or would it be safe for over/under for heavier weight?
I got bicep tendonitis from doings DLs, on the small head where it connects to the shoulder just above the armpit. My grip was too weak for the weight I was pulling and I was using straps and my arms were hanging sort of like wet noodles...so I think the hiding armpits to engage the lats suggestion really is a good one.
@@Ebvardh nope, it’s as bad as ever. Now it’s primarily caused by benching heavy. Resting doesn’t help… continuing to lift seems to help a bit, as long as it’s medium or light loads. Actually really heavy deadlifts doesn’t bother it…I use a switch grip and that solved my problem from using straps.
The first tip is a game changer for me. My back always ends up feeling shitty after a few months of training. For once, my hamstrings were sore instead of my back.
Any tips for a really long legged dude? Bar mid foot setup but with my long 38" inseam legs I'm essentially good morning position and can't get my back neutral, I'm a flexible dude plenty of RDLs and warmup up before every workout, semi sumo perfectly fine but feel like I haven't got enough room to put my legs anywhere conventional stance. Thanks again for these vids 😁😁😁
First to make a comment :) thanks Chad for the great tips! Wish to see some advice on improving grip strength for deadlift as I have difficulty holding onto the bar once it is beyond 2 times my bodyweight(80kg).
Thanks. Simplest thing will be to hold the last rep of all your deadlift sets for 10 seconds. Beyond that, doing timed holds for 30 seconds hold, 90 seconds rest x3 rounds starting a 50% of your max will be useful.
@@croceaMors1 except if he likes his thumbs? I find them brutal. I think Chad's heavy holds advice is great and possibly to use chalk on the heavier sets?
@@rorymcdonald1240 people who don't do hook grip purely because its a little painful are being pussies. You use straps for the majority of volume work and yes add in what Chad said but you can then not use the straps for max lifts and condition your fingers to get used to hook.
I've been stuck at a certain deadlift weight for more than 1 year. I can do more than 3 reps on my orm but cannot do even 2kg more. People I train with are telling me it's a mental block. Might be that or I might just lack skill or know how or strength. I've watched many videos and tried a lot of strategies but so far I am not progressing.
Do you mean double overhand? Double overhand is good for training grip strength. Some lifters use alternate grip as Marisa does here when the weight gets heavy for them because it's easier to hang on to. Not sure why she chose alternate grip here when this weight is obviously trivial for her. It's a bit confusing, tbh.
@@Mozrael7 Yes I meant double overhand. I wanted to ask; whether the alternate grip something technical benefits for lift or is it just grip strength? I'm not a powerlifter, but deadlift is my ego lift :) My double overhand grip is strong enough for the irons that I lifting at this moment.
@@Jari1973 switching from double overhand to mixed grip is only when you feel you can't hold the bar comfortably any more. I think I can rep about 70-75% of my 1 rep max with double overhand. Hope that helps?
You're using your back too much & not your legs. You need to drop your hips just enough to engage your hamstrings & glutes. You should feel the soles of your feet try to press the earth. Also, make sure your lats are back and down. You want a big chest when deadlifting.
"Advanced size" always cracks me up
If you are a master sensei or a buddha on putting weight on, what are you called then? Guru size?

You got this!
The content has gotten really good since they hired this male model to coach
You could say he's an absolute Chad

great tips, especially the slower one to keep bar down.
Awesome! I have a push/pull comp coming up June 5th and feel like these tips will definitely help!
Great tips! Thank you
Awesome tips... Thank you

I'd go with double overhand, hookgrip and/or straps
@@JuggernautTrainingSystems Great! Thank you
Huh, I’ve been doing the Coan style Deadlift this whole time and didn’t even know it.🤷♂️👍💪
Wow! Chad dropped a ton of weight!
Yessss💯💯💯💯
What a nice guy
4:24
Marisa has really impressive shoulders
Lucky wall
He looks super British.
Please, give more role for that lady in your videos.
If I may say, in a completely not gay way, you have beautiful eyes Chad.
She is miniscule in front of him
RDLing into position is a real real key. Almost every great deadlifter does it unconsciously
What exactly is RDLing?
@@shawnmartin6210 Romanian Deadlifting:ing
yup, just realized this myself lol not saying im a great deadlifter but thats how i do it.
True.. Other will squat first but will go on to rdl position.
great tips, especially the slower one to keep bar down.
"getting my girth out of the way"....hmmm which girth are we talking here Chad
Little of this, little of that
“They would tickle me and all types of other fun things like that” 😂😂😂
Such an innocent comment but so hilarious to hear hahaha
Chad, you're looking extremely healthy!
Thanks

Has your tendonitis improved? If so, what helped it?

suits you right for coping with straps lol

Narrow your stance for conventional
Narrow stance, feet out, bar closer to toes.
Narrow stance, point your toes out a little (almost like a frog stance) and push your knees out into the crease of your elbows.
I busted at 2:13. Thanks Juggernaut Training Sysems!!
Very clear explanation 💯
Nt everyone has longer arms with shorter leg lengths

You could also learn hook grip

@@croceaMors1 lifter's choice though? I double overhand up to about 70% then mix grip. I'm not strong enough to outlift my grip strength.
I am now a fan of Marisa. 😍
Great vid :)
Is Chad massive or is Marisa tiny?! Height wise.
both
Co thatnks!
I don't why I stop the Ed coan deadlift
Thanks
It helps me too much
Great job Marisa 🦊
I've been stuck at a certain deadlift weight for more than 1 year. I can do more than 3 reps on my orm but cannot do even 2kg more. People I train with are telling me it's a mental block. Might be that or I might just lack skill or know how or strength. I've watched many videos and tried a lot of strategies but so far I am not progressing.
Thats where i may be at around 355 at a 160 lb bodyweight but keep pushing through we'll increase from here
Great tips!
I must admit, once I noticed your wall light I did become a bit fixated on how out of place it feels!!
In somewhat-not-gay-but-curious way
Thanks for the video. What are exactly RDLs though?
Romanian deadlifts
Yeah Romanian dead lifts
Thanks for the tips .. Is it wrong to use the same side grip?
Do you mean double overhand?
Double overhand is good for training grip strength. Some lifters use alternate grip as Marisa does here when the weight gets heavy for them because it's easier to hang on to. Not sure why she chose alternate grip here when this weight is obviously trivial for her. It's a bit confusing, tbh.

I've never been so jealous of a wall before.
Man! This was so good! Thx for tips! Also just curious Chad - how tall are you?
6 ft 1 in
Timetamps plz
My Lower back started to hurt a bit what would you say I'm doing wrong for my deadlift I will take any suggestions

Can't see your deadlift from here, man.
@@Mozrael7 odd but ok
@@AZWallbreaker thanks for any suggestions
Love when clearly out of shape guys try and preach what to do.
Cool. I've deadlifted 815 and coached 9 800+ deadlifters.
