Does the bar touch your shins on a deadlift? This is simply a deadlift that starts from the bottom of the knee instead of the floor, but it's the same movement
Steve, I’m about your height, but prolly shorter. Generally speaking we have the same frame, but you’re definitely better built. Really want to work up to your physique. You’re an inspiration for me man, thanks for existing. (Natty as well I strongly presume haha.) Great video in addition.
Awesome video, thanks to the big guy! I have a couple questions: 1. What percentage of my 1x5 deadlift work weight should my rack pull work weight be? 2. What is the set/rep scheme at the correct work weight? 3. I seem to remember Rip advising to use a bent bar or not using a high quality bar when doing rack pulls with metal safety pins because they tend to bend the bar. Am I remembering that correctly? Should I get a cheap bar off Amazon for rack pulls so I don't bend my Rogue bar?
I’m about to be 43 years old. Still doing the basic power movements. Rack pulls I do on a day where I’m either not squatting or not deadlifting. Ill do rack pulls with leg presses or a hack squat. I simply can’t handle the workload of doing these on a full deadlift or full squat day anymore. I believe Westside Barbell calls this “dynamic” day.
Eh. Westside often do rack pulls on dynamic days. But rack pulls aren’t necessarily synonymous with dynamic days (ie they often max out on them or do them for heavy 3s as a supplemental movement).
@@Dr_Footbrake Sure ok. Maybe I’m using the terminology incorrectly. But my point is that I don’t believe rack pulls are a “main” movement. I guess it can certainly be if you’re not in competition (like myself), but not if you’re following a program
How would you go about programming these? Would you add them to once-a-week deadlifts? or replace once-a-week deadlifts with these and haltings, and make deadlifts every two weeks?
As a layman, I believe that strength programs (like SS, SL, GS, etc.) should treat the deadlift just like other lifts i.e. 3 sets of 5 reps at submaximal weights instead of one set of maximal loads for a 5RM training max that is obviously quite draining for mind and body. It allows to practice the lift with sufficient volume and frequency that is absolutely in line with principle of specificity as well as exactly what a untrained/beginner needs. It won't burn them out either and they won't need to use variants earlier.
@@Fogyt121 45x5 95x5 135x3 185x2 225x5-5-5 From what I understand this is how you would warm up for your squat if you were at 225. After doing your squats how would you warm up for your single set of 5 deadlifts the exact same as the squat or different ?
I don’t understand how you can’t recover from a once a week dead unless you’re maxing every week. I’ve deadlifted twice a week (once heavy, once medium weight) for years. I’m no John Haack but have a 525lb dead so not a complete novice either….
@@Steve-qy8or nice! I don’t know many people let one 54 year olds there. Btw are you still progressing still? I’m 42 years old so wondering how many years of gains I should expect before Father Time starts interfering.

A young male can get a 525lbs deadlift in one year. It's not as heavy as you think. But anyway, SS is about efficiency. You can get stronger in many ways as long as you add weight to the bar somehow. This is just the most efficient way, and it's just about ONE single lift.
I couldn’t work out if my shins should touch or not, now I know thanks

Clear and informative as always. Thanks, Steve.

Perfect explanation!
Beautiful explanation! 😍
Shins to the bar
Good tip
Thank you Sir!
I will be back for a Seminar soon.
And you said, you were not particularily strong. Mhm...
A rack pull at the suggested starting point may very well be the same height as a high handle trap bar deadlift

Elevate the plates on some blocks of wood.
Much cheaper than a new bar.

the 1x5 deadlift is not supposed to be a 5 rep max
@@Fogyt121 what percent of your 5 rep max should you use ?
@@Wizard-ys3vf pick the weight so one or two reps are left in the tank, after your set of five

@@Wizard-ys3vf i've always taken big jumps in warmups, so if, i were to deadlift 225x5, i'd do 135x5, 185x1, 225x5
dude how tall is this guy 7ft? He looks huge.
how'd you determine loading for these? Would they be performed on different days?
you do them on leg day or back day?
How tall are you sir?? Would love to see you squat.
The people whining about "clickbait" Bre from the last video now have to see some dude as the thumbnail.
Some people just don't have the leverages to do a heavy normal deadlift.

I think the key word is “novice”. I am 54 and have a 540 DL. I DL every week with work sets from 450 to 475…I never have recovery issues.

Can you make a video on how to put a 12 speed biker helmet on please
Thanks for showing us what not to do
What was wrong about it? Seriously, please explain it to us.
You would make a great back or knee surgern and ruin people's back and knees for life
Good explanation of how to do them, poor explanation of how to program them
