1) Pull the slack out of the bar 2) Brace (you can brace at the top if you like, but before you do #3) 3) Pull/Drive the hips in 4) Brace the lats (not shoulders down and back per se, but really activate those lats) 5) Drive the hips through
I injured my back in a car accident (at 22 years old) and was in chronic for years until I started deadlifting. Now (at 27) this is the first time I can live day to day without being in consist pain. If it weren’t for people like this, who make this information freely and widely available to everyone, I never would have thought to try it, nor would I have ever been able to do it safely. Thank you guys, and to everyone else on the Internet getting these useful and knowledgeable resources out there. You truly have given me a better life.
Similar for me. I believed the lie that squatting is bad for my knees my whole life. Go figure, the activities I participated in have caused a lot of damage and pain to my back and knees because I never trained them. (I was the guy who didn't skip leg day...because it was never on the schedule. I'd just run) I did physical therapy for the last 4 years, and was cleared to do actual strength training 5 months ago. I can now deadlift 275 and squat 205. I'm pretty proud. And love leg day. If I could tell anyone anything about physical training it would be ALWAYS include strength training for whatever sport you're doing. Don't believe the lie "squatting is bad for your knees." NOT squatting is bad for your knees.
These old videos were gold , every video was informative and entertaining, and the guests were the best of the best, love coming back and watching them
Listen, I herniated 2 disc last summer. I had epidural shots, physical therapy, and chiropractic care. It took months for me to even be able to function without pain. I deadlifted 2 week ago for the first time since I hurt myself, and I haven’t had any pain since. I throughly believe it is the pump of the muscle stabilizing my spine, along with strengthening the muscles. Trust me, deadlifts will help everything.
This guy really just helped me a great deal because he used some differently terminology than I am used to hearing. "Wedging" under the bar really helped me with a visual que. Thank you so much guys. Mark always a pleasure.
Wow--I really liked the simplicity of this. Big thumbs up. I almost gave up on conventional deads in favor of 100% sumo because I have so much difficulty getting as straight a spine as I think I should. These simple cues are really helping me get into a better starting position (I do video myself periodically). Keeping tension throughout, and ending with that LAT CUE--that is resulting in a pretty straight back! Finally! I also like the idea of focusing more on hip and glute thrusting as opposed to "pressing through the floor" cue which hasn't been giving me the best results. Great, great, video.
Great video. I've watched several videos on deadlift including the Ed Coan video, and a video by Swede Burns in an attempt to improve form. This video absolutely pulls it all together.
Definitely one of my favourite videos that you guys have done, recently found Chris Duffin on RUclips via watching his video with Stan Efferding, instant fan. I do love to rack pull, though I haven't quite gotten to doing full deadlifts much, maybe twice in the past couple of months. Mostly because I am coming off surgeries on both knees from last year and deadlifting is still a bit, sensitive on the knees, whereas rack pulls I can get some good strength benefits and my knees feel fine.
Very helpful info, I’m browsing a lot more videos that go over the proper form of deadlifts as well but this one actually went into more detail, so thank you again
PLEASE give steps for front squat, LOVE your steps for squat and dead..USING THEM/FEELS GREAT! Especially feel the lats are really helping both a lot. Not sure how to use with front squat. My back thanks you so much brother, best squat video ever/anywhere!
I love Chris duffin , just overall badass! it would be cool to see Dan Green or Massthetics! Thanks for all the info you put out mark it makes young lifters like myself learn alot of stuff and share it with my friends!
9:38, John's toes extend off the floor indicating an off balanced barbell pathway. Potentially, he has reduced ankle or knee mobility, reduced quadricep/hamstring strength from the lift off to knee pass phases. However, it seems more likely that his hip joint begins too low, which increases the moment arm b/w the barbell and hip joint (not biomechanically advantageous)
I can't being to count how man times I cracked up watching this , whilst learning some finer ques, thanks super training the 2nd strongest gym in the west ;)
Lol, when he mentioned about doing barbell rows, I remembered a video where he randomly picked up a bar loaded with like 500 pounds from another person who was deadlifting it, and rowed it like butter for I believe 8 or so reps. Beaaast!
Awesome content! Chris is a great teacher! But yo, fix your annotation boxes to be when your links actually pop up. Not a minute before. Easy fix, just slide them back a bit.
Súpertraining could you please put more text on during the video for example the five ques. Thx for the video i think its the best out there or it was the first that worked for me
1) Pull the slack out of the bar
2) Brace (you can brace at the top if you like, but before you do #3)
3) Pull/Drive the hips in
4) Brace the lats (not shoulders down and back per se, but really activate those lats)
5) Drive the hips through
You're the champ!
Drive the hips through, I call it " take it baby" move, in spanish, "tome chichi" move. Best cue for my trainees.
Tho the shoulders do get pushed down a bit when activating lats
@@whatigame right, you must have heard what Mark Bell said. He said @6:14: "trying to shove your shoulders downward" and Chris agreed.
Chris Duffin will be able to pick up his 800+lb grandchild.
Cole Stevenson 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well done 😂😂😂
Bruh😭😭 💀
And rep it😎

Chris Duffin looks like a lumberjack fused with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

hahahaha the emo mark bell was wonderful
I fucking died lol
Literally paused it and laughed. Brilliant!
I lol’d so hard lmao.
I can't watch a closeup of Dufin, he looks so intense i'm afraid he might punch me through the screen
chuck norris is Afraid of Chris Duffin !
athena.indigo
Had me 😂 at comment
This is by far the best queue video I’ve seen for deadlifts. It’s brought up my technical efficiency significantly
This was amazing, loved this video.. anyone who deadlifts should pay close attention to this!
***** That does not mean that people can still not take a lot of great points from this video. Dont be ridiculous
+epzy some people should know the basics of bench as well. Watch urself when u drop a bar on ur chest like that.
+epzy where are they supposed to learn the basics, or learn new cues, other then videos like this?
The "wedge" tip increased my technique significantly. I was stuck at 380ish lbs and finaly got to 405 by using that tip. Next goal is the five hundo
It is wild how instantly that made me "understand" the deadlift. Hope you got to 500
5:00 the holy grail of deadlift set-up advice
I love these tutorials/guides/breakdowns/tips
Best that exists without going to a seminar in person
Probably the best deadlift video I've ever seen. Explanation was really easy to picture in my mind. Thanks Mark for the videos!

sweet!!!!!, thanks supertraining team!!
Five Finger Death Punch, Whiskey and Deadlifts. 3 of my favorite things. So much info in this video this is awesome.
5:32 Mike that bulking going well i see ;) ;)
Cold
Duffin is my lord and savior.
Emo Mark was the best thing i've seen all week.
Chris duffins explanation of bracing, squatting and deadlifting have ridiculously helped me
Mr. Bells mobility has gotten 1000x better. That sumo looked awesome! Keep grinding!
Chris makes so much sense with everything he says
yeah. he's very well spoken and logical with everything he explains.
I want to know more about his background and who he learned the most from - dude has cues and subtle techniques coming out his ears.
He was our validictorian, makes sense hes mastered communicating his passion.
Isn’t he an engineer
Just starting doing deadlifts. GREAT INSTRUCTION!!!

This is the single most important technique video that one must see and follow.
Chris Duffin is a fucking beast. \m/
This one was really funny. Whoever did the drop-ins, good job!
Very helpful info, I’m browsing a lot more videos that go over the proper form of deadlifts as well but this one actually went into more detail, so thank you again
Crazy great video. In fact already one of my favourites.
This will help me aswell as many other people a LOT!
Thank you guys so much!
PLEASE give steps for front squat, LOVE your steps for squat and dead..USING THEM/FEELS GREAT! Especially feel the lats are really helping both a lot. Not sure how to use with front squat. My back thanks you so much brother, best squat video ever/anywhere!

Great advice keeping it simple with 5 easy rules to follow on every deadlift! TY!
Revisiting this video here in 2k19, still the best deadlift guide ever

Damn I miss this kind of videos from ST
오아아ㅏㅏㅏ 진짜 멋진 비디오에요. 마크 벨 고마워요. 늘 당신 유투브 채널에서 팟캐스트도 듣고 운동 동기부여를 받곤 합니다
Brilliant video as always. would be sick to see massthetics go down to ST
I wonder why massthetics got all pissy and stopped talking about conjugate.?
They answered all the questions on conjugate with videos and people are still like "tell me that thing you told me in the video"
nah
he's so skinny he could enter the gym without opening the door
It would be more like going up to ST haha
Guys, amazing videos, I appreciate all this great content.
6:29 is one of the best mark moments in st RUclips history
Another brilliant and informative video. Thank you
Duffin does a great job on cuing - focus on getting hips wedged was unique.
Just deadlifted yesterday, but gotta do it again today now!!!
thanks for making this video. this helped me a lot.
Awesome video!!!
Vote for Silent Mike to go back to being silent.
Bend forward, pull like row, , breath before hip wedge, lock lays, don’t pull bar, wedge hips through
great video!
more great content ST....keep it up guys!!!!!!!!
Great stuff
chris duffin is a swole Zach Galifianakis.
I like how he lifts the bar setting up.
LMAO@Dan Green and Zahir at 3:53. Dan's like "dat spine tho".
I love Mark, Chris and MORRISSEY!
Duffin is definitly the most badass human creature on earth.
So stoked he said harms way and trains with the guy that sings for the band
Awesome vid
Great man!
this was awesome! thank you so much for this!
I can't being to count how man times I cracked up watching this , whilst learning some finer ques, thanks super training the 2nd strongest gym in the west ;)
One of the few FFDP covers I actually like lol
Aha 6 years later i am back.
From 3 wheels to 6 wheels.
Thankyou Mike and Chris for this video!
Now excuse me, I gotta revise my lesson
duffin is the man.
The Morrissey bit cracked me up! 6:25
Lol, when he mentioned about doing barbell rows, I remembered a video where he randomly picked up a bar loaded with like 500 pounds from another person who was deadlifting it, and rowed it like butter for I believe 8 or so reps.
Beaaast!
You're putting out the best informational videos...thanks smelly
Great video guys!! I rly want to se the Duffinator on a platform!
6:26 Haaaaaaaaaah!
this editing is awesome lol
love this content !!!!
Silent Mike has come a long way since then! He's not about to open his own gym in Sacramento!
Mike is slowly stealing Dan's title and becoming Fat Mike.
Good video guys!
Seven minutes in and I'm laughing so hard. Thanks for this ... lovely type of humor.
Flashback to high school football days when my coach had us tighten our belts as much as possible 🙃
good stuff!!!!!!!
Bend at waist, pull on bar, brace, cue the lats, wedge the hips in (weight should lift off the ground here through the hips).
self note
Chris is a scary dude, blinks like once a minute
Respect sir
Awesome content! Chris is a great teacher! But yo, fix your annotation boxes to be when your links actually pop up. Not a minute before. Easy fix, just slide them back a bit.
Tried this today and it transformed my deadlift
Súpertraining could you please put more text on during the video for example the five ques. Thx for the video i think its the best out there or it was the first that worked for me
Damn even Morrissey made an appearance in this video! 6:28
So much info, had to watch this over again because my brain turned to mush in parts
Serial Killer Eyes + Wisdom + Groceries= CHRIS FUCKING DUFFIN.
I want that cut-ff you said tomorrow yesterday. thats legit
