By far the best video for DL on the internet! Do this for every compound lift if you haven't already (just found your channel through reddit) Much love!
Thank you, Mike! This was great.... I've been struggling with numbers not going up and I know it's form related. This should help even more with my skills. I'm doing 5-3-1 and I repeatedly hit a glass ceiling around 200#'s. I've backed down now 3 times to start over and just did 200x2 but it was ugly. So.... Wondering if I should back off even more (I dropped 20# on my starting weight) or change to different programming? Again dropping my starting weight. I have great form at lighter weight, but goes out the window at my ceiling... Thanks!
Just to be sure (my english is not that great). You have to do this setup for each rep? So doing the initial rep, then letting go from the bar and stepping back to then perform the second rep and so on?
correct. For the purpose of a powerlifter, it is beneficial to make sure you get the best starting position before the pull. This is also referred to as a reset deadlift.
+Shredded By Science This differs from what I've learned from Layne and Ben Esgro on the conventional set up. Mike is saying that the bar should be set at your mid-foot, but on the other hand, Layne and Ben said to set the bar against your shin. So which one is correct here?
K C well Mike has taught the lifts at Layne's camps. I would go with Mike purely because if you say shin only people may not have their shin vertical and that could put the bar position in a different place each time. The mid-foot is always going to be the mid-foot position
Not disagreeing here, just asking to get a better insight: -A) Why drive through the heels and not midfoot or forefoot? -B) Why the emphasis on the setup? I can see this being beneficial for those who exert max force before they're in the correct position but for others I don't see the need? Won't exerting moderate to light force automatically pull the slack out of the bar and pull you into an ideal starting position at the same time? You know, "pulling yourself into position"?
+sacristar You will get the strongest drive from the heel. It is the hardest part of the foot and most stable. The set up is key to keep things consistent and Dr Mike feels it is the best set up to get into optimal position while getting rid of the slack in the bar so there isn't a jolting action
Do a run up and then set yourself as you would to jump as high as you can, off of both feet. That will be your ideal foot placement for generating the most power.
"is berto that vascular? dont think so" lost it at that point lmao

6:50 for the summary after watching once
What is vertical jump width? Is it really just whatever position your feet naturally take when you're going to do a vertical jump?
exactly that. Normally it will be around hip width, slightly less.
hospital mode lmao
what a perfect serious i watched tons of video and yet non are as beneficial as this one
Fantastic Mike!
+Sam Adams Thank you, Sam!

Great video!
You can tell Dr Mike listened to the talk tuah podcast
should I be using small plates or big plates? I have been using 10kg plates to do DLs.

Hi, I dont use English as main language. Could you help to explain something ?. Is it right if he said repeating the setup in each rep ?

+Shredded By Science Duly noted. Thanks for the response!
"Hospital Mode" bwahahahahah
hahahaha
Professional.. Thanks alot
Thank you Abdo for commenting.

Pretty much how Rippetoe teaches it.
If I buy velcro shoes is this a good excuse to stop deadlifting? 🤔👀😂
Superb
Thanks Lee
The last meet of the lift
We have a newer version where he doesn't say that lol
the audio is out sync with the video, hard to follow along.
It is indeed. It wasn't for years. Something RUclips must have done, some how.
Download the video as an mp4, this fixes it
Got it
UP
