    This is actually one of the most helpful talks about the deadlift for anyone to watch. Some of the more popular RUclips personalities seem to be jumping on the bandwagon and relaying the same generic information. Ben Pollack is also has a great tone to his delivery. He is just talking about what works for him. It is almost wrong that he is giving out some of the information that has made him a record holder. I am really glad he incorporates both the sumo and conventional, and also explains his reasoning for using both. Great video.

    2nd:
    Hard to think that as an total amateur I could offer any advice, but if you need grip; axle bars or inverse movements with heavy kettlebells a la Pavel's hard style lock system (Strongfirst). Those have helped me immensely with my grip. Just my humble .02!

    Chad, great video as always. Thanks for that. I'm in the process of incorporating sumo into my repertoire as well. In the video, Ben seems to start with his feet farther away from the bar than what I've seen by others teaching the sumo. Is this the effect of camera angle? If not, can you shed some insight on how far one should start from the bar when performing a sumo dl?

  • @dennisjordan5917
    @dennisjordan5917 5 лет назад +2

    Trap bar deadlifts are really good for training the grip because you can overload it a little bit more and just hold at the top like you were talking about. Heavy rack pulls would work for the same reason
    Also farmers carry works great, I like to start short and heavy and then do a lighter longer carry

  • @Lucas13549
    @Lucas13549 2 года назад +1

    Watch arm wrestlers such as Devon Larat if you want to improve grip strength. Not sure if it’s very specific, but I would assume those forearm workouts would help with grip in the deadlift.

    • @bmstylee
      @bmstylee 4 года назад +2

      Well. The double overhand is where you start. Eventually your grip will not be strong enough to hold the weight. At that point you end up with a mixed grip. One hand prone and the other in a supinated position. Be careful with the supine hand. It's a natural habit to try to curl the bar with that hand. It's a good way to get a bicep injury.
