Amazing breakdown of some cues that often is overlooked. Any tips to get comfortable whit using straps in deadlift? When i use straps i dont feel that i get in the same good startingposition as i do whitout straps. And second any guess to why one of my knees seems to track more forward wich make me a little rotated as the guy at 10.30?
#1 find your stance #2 pull slack out of the bar #3 imagine hips under bar #4 hide your armpits, turn elbows in #5 quad tension, push with legs #6 stand tall
Damn! I sort of lost track of your channel over the past few months, and HOLY man what a quality upgrade. Your information has been so incredibly useful but now you have the set up to match. Awesome. Well deserved traction on RUclips
For some reason, the deadlift has been the easiest lift for me learn and maintain form on (lifting for less than a year). My major issue is being slow off the floor (it's a mental thing mostly)...if the bar leaves the floor, I never miss it. I am still chasing 315, hope to get it this winter when my cycling season is over. Currently at 285
@@mrsmuuve haha but I like to think of myself having the experience opposite of Bromley. He knows a lot about the deadlift because he had to work extra hard to bring it up. I’d say my knowledge around the squat is heading in a similar direction, still a lot of work to do tho lmao
Can also recommend using the eccentric portion of the lift to help pull you into the perfect starting position. It's a great tool to reinforce a good bar path and a good starting position. Doing reps this way will also usually make the following reps better and cleaner than the initial one, making heavy low-rep sets feel great. If you're having trouble nailing down a good starting position I also recommend pausing immediately after you break off the floor. Reinforce that position.
Did deads today… When I address the bar I like to punch down to the sides to get the feeling of my lats tightening up as a cue reminder. I also tend to use the more advanced set up it allows me to get the whole chain firing together. It’s really the only way I can describe it. It keeps me from hurting myself and evenly distributes the stresses over my posterior chain, up through to my upper back/traps. Deads have become my favorite lift, as that feeling when your muscles all fire together feels almost like hulking out to me. Especially if I’m hitting a PR. IT’S AWESOME!
pretty new to lifting, watched this in the morning waiting to wake up a bit before going to the gym to do a deadlift day. focused on some of the cues about bracing and aligning the ribs and pelvis and felt way stronger. good stuff.
I've always squatted the weight up on deadlifts. I didn't realise this was considered advanced; I just made use of my strong squats. On my last set of DLs, I do a bac off set for AMRAP; I see a lot of advice on avoiding reps beyond 5, which doesn't make sense unless form suffers.
Thanks Alex! The first two I really need to remember. I’ve always loved deadlifting, but am finding myself unable to get past 500 lbs and have been trying for a few months. This video made me realize that I was way too stuck on keeping my back straight, I guess I heard some cues somewhere and got stuck on them. Happens sometimes. Even now in the living room doing my stance without a bar, I can def feel how much power and leverage I’ve been sacrificing. Luckily it’s DL/hams day too!
I used the squatting down technique intuitively as a beginner (my brain always looks for advantageous momentum and explosiveness xD) and progressed really fast to 200 kg in just a couple of months. Also I always start as fast as possible (not as fast as larry wheels though ^^) to get the bar over the knees, after that I can pull through mostly every time, sometimes with hitching but from above the knees. For me powerlifting is a lot about explosiveness and fast-twitch action but most guys or at least a lot have a somewhat "slower" and controlled approach to it. I like both styles but the explosiveness comes naturally to me.
The gym I use has octagon plates. Honestly... They make deadlifting annoying. The bar almost always moves forward on the ground at the end of the lift. I always cue myself to keep the bar in contact with my legs until I've reached like halfway down my shin at the end of the lift. After watching videos of myself lifting, the inner plate rotates and throws off the the lift. When I used round plates at my previous gym, they never moved and the reps were always clean.
Have the same problem at my gym. Recently started using straps for heavier back movements. I wanted to focus more on strength of the floor and too contious pauses at every rep and reset. The combination of the straps and octogonal plates really created immobility for the set up and feel like it impacted the form very heavily where I was way better off without the straps.
@@kosterbryan1 lifting straps are weird to use in the beginning but after using for them a while you get used to it and learn how to use them. I remember when I bought straps... I thought that they were a waste of time and money until I figured out how to use them properly.
All good stuff to keep in mind. I think when I miss a dead lift that I can break from the ground. It’s actually just before the knee. It might be just simple mis-groove.
wow honestly, best video explanation! i've been having trouble with deadlift so often and my arms are short, so the advice about the wrong time about pulling arm back is bad, so helpful, thank you for the solution!!
1, the thing I NEVER hear is that as long as you don’t move your a lot during the lift it’s good. Any spinal flexion with bracing is o.k.! When during a heavy deadlift you move your spine, think about the anatomy of your spine. The discs get more space and slide, resulting in a herniated disc overtime. So what Bromley says, always brace. Tip for bracing, you do it automatically when you’re about to get punched in the stomach.
It wasn't until my early 40's that I took deads and squats seriously, often hitting them 2x a week for a year. Best shape I've ever been in as well as my strongest in all my lifts.
Now, learning to lift with braced core after getting herniated disc (years of lifting without proper tension in core), I hope more people understand points about over-arching, proper stomach breathing and having strong tight core, and I would add regular work on your mobility, it's such a huge and important points, that are constantly overlooked even by experienced lifters. Stay safe guys, and learn this basics before going for higher weights. It will save your health, gains, and improve progress.
Personally I find that doing stiff legged deadlift with dumbbells cues me very well for bracing for barbell deadlift. The stomach touches the quads and serves as a cue to brace. My three steps to brace: 1. Exhale 2. Ab-Crunch moderately 3. Inhale in stomach
Even though deadlifts are my favoritre excersise and is my strongest lift by far (need to get that squats up) there were some really valuabe tips in there for me.But i´m also a bit blessed with how my body is built medium long legs short torso and medium long arms.
Im not the best deadlifter by any means but for number 8 i also recommend doing touch and go like you should do touch and go on bench. You touch the floor very gently, not slamming it and let the plates crack off the floor with a huge bounce. Really this just means you have to have way more eccentric control throughout the lift. Not always the best way to do it for super geavy but i love it for reps. Great video!
I've been experiencing some upper back pain after deadlifts for a while. Usually the next day if I extend my upper and pull my shoulder blades back I feel a nerve- pinching pain. I think my problem is that i over extend my back, sticking my ribs out. I'll try the first two tips and see hoy it works
i would say that my weakest spot is the lockout, i have been inches from deadlifting 5 plates but failing on the lockout. There was some good tips in this video that i will practice.
I like to "bend the bar" around my shins prior to liftoff. This tightens the lats and both prevents the bar from drifting and stabilizes the spine laterally.
I've just got a deadlift PR so quite motivated to improve further. Lifted my heaviest weight and triples too! Grip failed on the second rep but luckily i had my chalkbag for bouldering in my bag. I guess I'll need to think about straps soon.
Just recently found #3s the reason ive been having lower back pain on deads since I started training... Hit a 420 dead with minimal training when I could barley squat 315. Since hitting 420 on dead I completely stopped due to back pain..... My squat has now progressed to 405 and I decided to get back into deadlifting, but still had pain even on lower weights... What fixed this was I heard a power lifter say "just jam the bar into your fucking shins and pull"... Made me realize that even though the bar would make contact with my shins, I was so worried about shin pain that the bar would ever so slightly float in from of my shins or just barley touch. Pulling the bar into my shins alot harder despite the pain instantly seems to solve my problem. Even though on video and watching a before and after you couldn't even tell the difference.
I injure my lower back pretty much every time I try to go heavy. Dealing with a lower back injury at the moment. I'll probably never deadlift again tbh. Not worth the injury risk. Its too easy for it to happen
@@willsmish2837 I’m not a physical therapist but I would argue if you hurt your back every time you Deadlift you probably don’t know how to do it right, and/or it’s exposing a weakness that isn’t ready for it. typically a physical therapist is going to give some sort of scaled progression of the exercise that hurt you to build you back up.
It's pretty simple to drop the weight enough to enable learning how to deadlift (safely). If you're having too much issues with your ego related to a deadlift, switching to a slightly different lift that you might be able to rationalize lighter being acceptable might help. I love RDL variations and weighted 45 degree back extensions as pure hinges. Find something that works for you. 💪
@@nmnate I agree. For movements I struggle with but want to learn I just make them my warmup. A while ago I wanted to front squat with a “proper” front rack position but my mobility made it tough. So I just did front squats with minimal weight to warmup with every training day. I also don’t think deadlifts are inherently more dangerous than a squat. Anecdotal - but I’ve never tweaked my back on a deadlift. However, I have tweaked it on a squat.
Hey man this video is the one that got me to subscribe, not necessarily because of the merit of the video, but hecause a lot of what you were saying came from an avenue of experience. Good job dude, cowabunga!
Watching Bromley makes me want to go at it like an animal but I'm just too gdamn old and have to be careful because recovery from injury is a slow process. I'm learning though.
How do you overstretch your hamstrings setting up for a deadlift? The more stretched the target muscle is, the more stimulus, right? And dead’s are for hamstrings, right?
I used to arch into my squats, fucked my spine, curse of the long midsection, screamed in pain in the gym as the weight came dropping down into those thingys on the sides....nobody came to help, decided I needed to be more friendly at the gym afterwards.
I started flaring my knees out to get myself more vertical at the bottom of the pull and pretending to bend the bar as hard as possible with my lats and I can say my pulls feel easier by a noticeable amount when pulling fresh.
At 50+ years old, I am ultra focused on just not getting injured. I mostly focus on finding the most comfortable pull. Pushing the knees out and taking an wider than normal grip just massively takes the stress off the lumbars and puts it on the glutes, which I can beat the living daylights out of (unlike the lumbars). I find a focus on anterior pelvic tilt helps when my waist starts getting sore
For deadlifts I don't like that the bar is in front of you. somehow feels "uneven". That's why I like Hex Bar Deadlifts or farmer walk deadlifts. Also I don't like to start from a dead position ^^ But benchpress I hate even more lol. My Squat numbers are as high as for the deadlift. Correlates with liking squats the most, followed by dumbbell floor presses and rowing exercises.
Deadlift has always been one of my weaker lifts. I think it stems from trying not to break my back. I seem to do well for a while but it always seems to bite me in the end.
Good cues for packing your lats: squeeze your armpits, do the opposite of a shrug, depress your shoulders down, pretend you’re holding a piece of paper in your armpits, etc. They all mean the same thing, use whichever cue clicks in your brain to work for you
Maintaining tightness at the bottom is a really big deal I’ve noticed. It’s challenging to maintain but I’m always grateful that I did so when I go for the next push. As someone who just started dabbling in sumo deadlift with a decent conventional (~570lbs) I’ve noticed that maintaining tension even at the dead stop is non-negotiable for sumo
Oooooohhh my god. I had to pause the video at thje 10:52 mark. That back position just made me completely horrified. I could feel my own back screaming out in empathy.
Is it in your opinion possible to combine a strength program with calistenics workouts? Like day 1 compound lifts (SQ,BE,DL,OHP) day 2 calistenics workout (more into reps and static holds), repeat that patern for day 3 and 4. And further do you think that programming like the bullmastif is possible in such a combined system?
8, depends for how long you can hold your brace 🤣. I think if you do barbell RDL’s you fix this and you can just do full resets on deadlifts. Works for me
Just listen to Eddie Hall in his 5 minute explanation..... I guess being able to do what he said makes me a real advanced lifter? Conventional -- Just place feet shoulder width facing straight ahead. Bar 1/2 way down the laces of shoe; squat down with head up like doing a weightless squat. Grip and rip! Keep that head up and you're fine. Oh ,yeah... I got my Deadlift to 300KG doing this , so it actually works. My best conventional lift lifetime was 250 KG before I took Eddie's advice with the foot placement. In competition I used to only do Sumo Deadlifts. I would use a ton of leg strength in them. I was basically doing a reverse squat. The reason I did super wide Dead pulls was I have short fingers, a bad grip surface area, and strong legs. The conventional guys tend to have big hands or very strong grips. Sumo also shortens the pull distance by a few inches, and it's less risky at the point of failure. If you fail doing a sumo before lockout, you can easily dump it without recoil. Very easy to dump and not injure the back. Main thing to keep in mind was not over extending the lockouts. I got some red lights for that LOL!
When I'm doing reps, the weights don't touch the floor. Maybe one plate might tap the floor occasionally. Light weight, 135lb - 170lb. 200 lb + is a little tough to set down gently....I don't want to destroy the floor! Lololol
Bro I stay with my parents and I'm doing 210 at the moment and I think I'm messing myself up cause I'm trying not to bang the floor cause my mom complains haha. But I feel it's killing my gains. Might have to start going to the park
@@frankwhite555 I lift to be stronger on my bike. Matter of fact, I did a very rough estimation of a ride I did yesterday. 7520 pedalstrokes (reps)! So pretty much cardio.
@@Bob_Shy_132 oh dang thats good work right there. I need to start getting on the cardio more. Gonna start coming up with full body routines to do at the parks
awesome vid, but please stop using these beeping sounds in the background, sounds like a truck backing up or my dishwasher when its ready, makes you uncomfortable
My nephew J Duane Blaba is much stronger than any natural on earth, bigger than Serge Nubret. He's also bigger than Rich Piana if you cut off his arms like jack the ripper. My nephew is a little bit crazy
Just want to say thank you, I actually was able to fix my deadlift after watching your deadlift series of videos a little over a year ago. Your cues and breakdown of the move made all the difference. Side note, it took me the longest to finally understand the concept of pushing against the floor. I feel silly looking back but that alone is worth its weight in gold. Again thank you.
These descriptive cues are getting pretty aggressive and probably decent shirt ideas 😂 "You want the sitffness", "Put it in your stomach", "Stiffer and more stable" 👀

Deadlift feels 100% natural to me, I love it so much
bench however
20:00 that's our boy Hemingway!!!!
My deadlift got so much better when you taught me how to brace, and I’m thankful 💪🏽
Perfect timing, coming back from injury and doing 100% technique work for now. Gotta get good again.

Love this. It’s like using a tempo bench or squat to ingrain the movement pattern. If you go down right the up should take care of itself.
Thanks will try this next time i always break bracing or slight arch or smt which causes pirifromis issues
Thanks brother. Great tips. I've been doing most of these consistently, but this is a great reminder to stay on the richeous path
Did deads today… When I address the bar I like to punch down to the sides to get the feeling of my lats tightening up as a cue reminder.

Love to see Calgary Barbell. Bryce's guidance completely fixed my horrible deadlift form.

Maintaining tightness at the bottom is a really big deal I’ve noticed. It’s challenging to maintain but I’m always grateful that I did so when I go for the next push. As someone who just started dabbling in sumo deadlift with a decent conventional (~570lbs) I’ve noticed that maintaining tension even at the dead stop is non-negotiable for sumo
Pauses as close to the floor as you can get are your best friend
one trick that helps me is to think about rolling the bar over your legs to keep it close for good form.
Good stuff!!!! 💪🏼👊
Oooooohhh my god. I had to pause the video at thje 10:52 mark. That back position just made me completely horrified. I could feel my own back screaming out in empathy.
Exactly had to cringe in disgust like what the fuck lmfao what was that man thinking
But yes definitely feeling the back empathy for them same for the other clip earlier in the video
Hi Bromley!!!! ☺️☺️☺️
Can you make vide how to bench press for building base
Lol @ the clip of blublu struggling with 495
Good stuff!
What are your thoughts about pulling the slack out of the bar to initiate set up?
Mr. Bromley what are your thoughts on the "sumo" style dead lift?
I stay tight on DL between reps but I pause and rise hips enough to breathe at bottom if I stayed tight at bottom I'd gas out

He claims he's charging 300 a month now. He also said he will be putting it up to 500 a month eventually.
Meanwhile, you could hire Pete Rubish for $180 per month
Is it in your opinion possible to combine a strength program with calistenics workouts? Like day 1 compound lifts (SQ,BE,DL,OHP) day 2 calistenics workout (more into reps and static holds), repeat that patern for day 3 and 4. And further do you think that programming like the bullmastif is possible in such a combined system?
Solid content! Liked and subscribed!
8, depends for how long you can hold your brace 🤣. I think if you do barbell RDL’s you fix this and you can just do full resets on deadlifts. Works for me
Just listen to Eddie Hall in his 5 minute explanation..... I guess being able to do what he said makes me a real advanced lifter?
Conventional -- Just place feet shoulder width facing straight ahead. Bar 1/2 way down the laces of shoe; squat down with head up like doing a weightless squat. Grip and rip! Keep that head up and you're fine.
Oh ,yeah... I got my Deadlift to 300KG doing this , so it actually works. My best conventional lift lifetime was 250 KG before I took Eddie's advice with the foot placement. In competition I used to only do Sumo Deadlifts. I would use a ton of leg strength in them. I was basically doing a reverse squat. The reason I did super wide Dead pulls was I have short fingers, a bad grip surface area, and strong legs. The conventional guys tend to have big hands or very strong grips. Sumo also shortens the pull distance by a few inches, and it's less risky at the point of failure.
If you fail doing a sumo before lockout, you can easily dump it without recoil. Very easy to dump and not injure the back. Main thing to keep in mind was not over extending the lockouts. I got some red lights for that LOL!
Can we get an Olympic weightlifting video?
He's a powerlifter/strongman. I don't think he has the experience to actually share deep knowledge on oly lifting. I might be wrong.

I failed a 635lb pull the other day wirh only 2" left to go...time to reevaluate some things I guess.
Really? Bro I'm over here doing 5x5 with 210 haha
@@frankwhite555 keep it up, you will hit 585 in no time. I believe in you.
@@RealGregJamesBeam not sure about that much haha but thanks for the confidence
Doug Young is my ultimate physique. Fuck cutting weight. Permabulk forever. 😅
When I'm doing reps, the weights don't touch the floor. Maybe one plate might tap the floor occasionally. Light weight, 135lb - 170lb. 200 lb + is a little tough to set down gently....I don't want to destroy the floor! Lololol
Bro I stay with my parents and I'm doing 210 at the moment and I think I'm messing myself up cause I'm trying not to bang the floor cause my mom complains haha. But I feel it's killing my gains. Might have to start going to the park
@@frankwhite555 I lift to be stronger on my bike. Matter of fact, I did a very rough estimation of a ride I did yesterday. 7520 pedalstrokes (reps)! So pretty much cardio.
@@Bob_Shy_132 oh dang thats good work right there. I need to start getting on the cardio more. Gonna start coming up with full body routines to do at the parks
My weakest is at the start of the lift, Strong at the bottom

Did coath train you? He’s an elite lifter gahs
Your first mistake not being born with arms that reach your ankles
Easy to say when using steroids or trt . Yeah try doing it naturally see if you got the same attitude 👍
Trained for 15 years and competed for 6 completely drug free. Sorry you suck, but its not because others take drugs
awesome vid, but please stop using these beeping sounds in the background, sounds like a truck backing up or my dishwasher when its ready, makes you uncomfortable
Wait, why are people not subscribed? Are y'all trying to anger God?
The end of a deadlift allways reminds me of sex. So i guess it's a weird cue for incels. 🤷
Hey that's my heavy metal gym in san antonio
My nephew J Duane Blaba is much stronger than any natural on earth, bigger than Serge Nubret. He's also bigger than Rich Piana if you cut off his arms like jack the ripper. My nephew is a little bit crazy
YES! Finally we're back to deadlifting !. I have tried to beat the 200kg for nearly a year!
Good luck on that journey, i might try the 200kg today i could see a chance for me to lift it since i´m on a 5*5 with 170kg.
Just want to say thank you, I actually was able to fix my deadlift after watching your deadlift series of videos a little over a year ago. Your cues and breakdown of the move made all the difference. Side note, it took me the longest to finally understand the concept of pushing against the floor. I feel silly looking back but that alone is worth its weight in gold. Again thank you.
These descriptive cues are getting pretty aggressive and probably decent shirt ideas 😂 "You want the sitffness", "Put it in your stomach", "Stiffer and more stable" 👀
We need a video like this for squat and overhead press
