Do you think Goku ever gave up because training was "too dangerous?" NO, he got back in that hyperbolic time chamber and simply trained with proper form. Love the vid Scott, couldn't agree more!
It is a thing, actually. There is a reason why they call sitting on a toilet "squatting". Have your back straight, and feet slightly elevated to get better stability, trajectory, and a more open "exit" for the poop to come out of. It reduces both the risk of excess residue, as well as relieving some of the required tension you would otherwise need to use in order to push it out. Try setting a couple of dumbells in front of you to rest your feet on next time, you want your feet to rest at roughly the point halfway from the ground to where your knee would usually be when standing. If you have nothing to set your feet on, extend them like you would in a calf raise.
I had seen a specialist for back issues. He told me my back was screwed up and I should stop working and stop lifting weights etc. He said to wait til it was worse and to get surgery. Turns out he wanted just that, the surgery money. I ran into a bodybuilding forum post from people who had similar back issues and they stated where they ignored their doctor's advice and went back to the gym and how it changed their life. I tried the same and what a difference it made. The deadlift and other corrective exercises took away 90% of my back pain. I still have the back defects but now the extra muscle and fixing imbalances like anterior pelvic tilt has been a life-saver.
Eclipse KCB Sadly many doctors have that mentality, they don’t know anything about lifting and often believe many of the old wives tales concerning it. Further there’s a prevailing fear that if you tell patients to go off and start lifting that at least a few of them are going to get hurt and come knocking with a suit. It’s not entirely unfounded either, training is something that requires a lot of attention and meticulous self discipline. Not something patients are known to be very good at since a big portion of people in such bad shape got them selves there to begin with.
Thank you so much for this video! I really wanted to do deadlifts but left them out until you uploaded this video! I will definetly follow what is shown in the video
5:41 "This will force that flexibility". Unfortunately, for most people atleast, flexibility isn't the problem here. It is a lack of hip mobility. More specifically limited hip flexion. As a result your lower back will be pushed into a rounded position, which is exactly what you do not want to happen.
My glutes are something I never worked out, didn't even know how lol, but once I found out about bridges and started implementing them into my workouts, I've noticed my squat and Deadlifts have improved.
Glad to see people actually explaining the deadlift instead of people telling others that its dangerous. The person not lifting correctly is where the danger comes from. Not the lift in itself.
A que i’ve heard to execute when you’re ready with shoulders back etc is to ‘push the world away with your feet’. Works for me every time i think of it
I had this issue too, by lifting my butt first then my back, because I was thinking as a leg press like many people recommend to do. That caused me to push my legs first then my back. One thing that helped me fixing it is engage properly the lats and put slight tension first then pull it up, if I do it quickly I end up with lower back pain after the set. So take enough time setting up every rep, breath, flex your lats (think of squeezing your arm pit) and core as well. Then slowly pull up, going too fast can fuck up the form
Right on. Making sure you have yourself set up properly between every rep is key. No need to rep out as fast as possible. Take your time and reset and get everything tight
This is perfect because I'm having trouble getting back into DL's after a long break. I feel like at 6'4, I'm basically always doing deficit deadlifts. I've always hated sumos. My herniated lumbar discs force me to perfect basic technique before I even do one rep. Can't risk more damage. This video couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks.
This was really good. I DL quite often, but I think I am going to go light and do this again! Just to give a refresh! I can't believe your at 2M I've been following you for such a long time like back when you were at 100k or something like that!
@@ScottHermanFitness ya! I found for me my trapezius pulls. What can we do for that? I didn't have after long time but I'm applying your video today! What is the cause of that? I guess it's again form. And also I just tripped on a mat also which never happens. Love it. Lmao. I'll be posting something @doctor.sunk soon!
Scott you absolute beast! You’ve inspired me so much throughout my fitness journey. I finally sacked up and started my own channel and am posting consistently to track my progress. I would appreciate any feedback or support that anyone is willing to offer, thanks in advance!
Deadlift is alot harder to get the hang of then I thought it would be. Making progress though. A few days ago when I did it an experienced lifter was in my gym and picked mine apart to try to help mr improve he kept having me do 1 rep set barbell down walk away and repeat to try to get the hang of it. Every time he saw a mistake he said set it down and back away. Very nerve racking but by the time I was done he said it still needs work but is much improved!
I'm sure you've referenced it before but I think one tip you should mention to prevent injury is to have a double overhand grip, opposed to mixed grip. The heavier in weight you go, the more likely you are to favor one side and strain your lower back. If anyone is struggling with grip this way, search the "hook grip" and after mastering it you will be back up to/close to mixed grip weight with much lower chance of injury
Well i can honestly say that with proper form deadlift are a life saver.3 years ago couldnt walk without a cane cause my lower spine was so messed up,after i started going to the gym and incorporating deadlifts 2 times a week in my routine...my back got way better and now i can walk,run and atm deadlifting 440. And when i think of the time when my doctor said that i will never walk proper again and take pills untill i die...mmmm yeah...deadlifting has huuuuuuge benefits
i do glute bridges,walking lunge and goblet squats before doing squats and glute bridges and walking lunges before deadlifting, warming up ur glutes and hamstrings with these exercises makes it easier before doing those 2 big lifts as it not just warms ur glutes and hams,it fires them through which makes hip hinging easier and it can make you lift a little heavier with proper form because the stiffness is gone or should i say the stiffness has been reduced greatly, compared to doing squats or deadlifts first after warming up.
DECLINED! lol awsm. For hip thrusts and glute bridges, I find that I can't go as heavy as I want to yet because the bar hurts. I'm always yelling at myself in my head, "I ain't no biiiiiiiiiiish!". But it still hurts 😢
How do I learn deadlift properly if I lift at home.Should I place a big miror somwhere to see if Im doing it right or ask my brother to watch and see.Whats the best way.If someone was in simmilar situation it would be great if you could answer.
Hey Scott what about the glute ham raise? I’ve been finishing off my workouts with those every now and then, definitely feels like it helps work both muscles in tandem
practice your hands first and your hands after every day, is it okay for you, or do you practice your hands today and practice your legs next day with your shoulders?
Due to longer leg length I am used to doing only Sumo deadlifts and there was one occasion when I accidentally lifted using back which painful to say the least. Since then I am very careful doing deadlifts.
My thighs are already parallel to the ground without any deficit deadlift. And with tight hamstrings that's quite troublesome. Took me a month to to get used to it.
We did deads twice a week standard, trap bar and def from raised platform and with chains for rugby training not a problem ever. Main difference we had to ur vid was hook grip always, for shoulder symmetry deal with the pain and No sumo’s thats for girls.
Literally using "deny the credit card" as a cue without cracking a smile bc he's so into the explanation. That's passion right there. I know that feeling, when you're in the mode.
I’m a bit overweight and cant do the conventinal deadlift becaus if i try to go down my upperback rounds that also means my lower back rounds because it also hurt if i do it like That. I do this excersice because it includes alot pf muscles so i can lose fat easier.

Have a non credit-card related question 😆 ... I consistently get a small spasm in lower back after last rep of a set. Basically after returning bar to floor and letting go, back is still tensed, and then spasms when I release and stand to walk away. (No other pain during reps/set, and goes away pretty quickly after - no lingering pain). Is this common and/or any sign that there's an issue with form? Is there anything you do differently when returning bar to ground vs a standard rep?

As a result your lower back will be pushed into a rounded position, which is exactly what you do not want to happen.
That’s why you train flexibility. You don’t just accept it as a permanent thing and ignore it. You improve a movement by doing it.
This video helped me a lot, thanks for making it Scott! Working on my barbell hip extensions today 👊🏻
It took me 8 weeks to nail the deadlift. My trainer was about to give up but then I nailed it! Great tips as always Scott!
That's awesome man!! Just goes to show you should never give up!

Glad to see people actually explaining the deadlift instead of people telling others that its dangerous. The person not lifting correctly is where the danger comes from. Not the lift in itself.

Hey scott can you do video on those persons who cant get their back flat and it became rounded due to tight hip flexor or hamstring tightness
Perfect timing considering how I’m doing back tomorrow

Deadlift, especially sumo is more for legs and using hip drive. It's not really a move for your back. Lift it with your back and you'll know about it.
Deadlift isn't for back remember, but yes I like to use deadlifts either on my leg or back days too!

what your opinion on using barbell hooks handles in the bar instead of actually gripping the bar it self
I like deadlifts but I do them differently. I start with the bar on my chest then press it up.

I know right?! Can't have people thinking it's a bad exercise!
Used mercy 10 yesterday, biceps are sore. Make one for triceps as well.
“If someone tries to run a credit card it’ll get declined.” 😂😂😂
True though hahaha
My problem with conventional deadlifts is that my lower back starts to round when I grab the bar. My hamstrings are really tight.
Go sumo for a while mate.
Sumo might be good for you in the meantime, but you should also work on that hamstring mobility. Foam roll and stretch them daily, loosen things up
How about external rotate your hip a lil bit like omar isuf, instead of straight line feet.
