1. Bring your shins 1" from the barbell. 2. Point toes out 3. Take a grip somewhere just outside where the knerling meets the smooth part of the bar. (For Stephanie her index finger was on the knerl) Take your grip w/o moving knees forward. 4. Take a double overhand grip. (Consider using hook grip if your can no longer double overhand, pronated grips cause bar sway away from the center of the foot causing an unbalancing of the weight. 5. DO NOT ROLL/MOVE THE BARBELL 6. Bring knees forward until shins meet the barbell, hips DO NOT MOVE 7. Shove knees out into the elbows 8. Raise your chest, bring belly to thighs (Setting your back) 9. Drag the bar up the shins (push floor with your feet) 10. Lift the chest/keep shoulders back 11. Unlock hips first, then drop knees to release bar to floor. 12. Repeat
On the fourth step: Shouldn't you just hook grip from the beginning? If you have already trained deadlift and gotten to heavier weights, moving on to using hook grip is going to be painful as fuck, whereas if you start using hook grip when you're still lifting baby weights, it wont hurt as much and you'll get used to it before getting to real weights.
After watching rippetoe on art of manliness , I tried his way of squatting and it worked like a charm , then did deadlifts today and I can honestly say I have never loved deadlifts until today. this man's name should be like a gold standard for lifting, somebody create a rippetoe medal, because this man should get more attention.
Ditto on both counts. Always hated deadlifts and squats, now they are my absolute favorites. Learning the low bar squat especially was a game changer for me.
Is anyone else yelling at themselves “DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL!” as they apply these techniques? My lift has improved so much thanks to this video. Thank you Coach Rippetoe!
If I had learned how to do a deadlift properly 40 years ago, my back wouldnt be the trainwreck it is today. New lifters are so fortunate to have this information so accessible today.
"Now, your turn is coming up. And you want to go ahead and get in the right lane. That is the side closest to the curb. If you are still confused, what you should do is look at the steering wheel in front of you. That big round thing in front of you. There you go. Now I want you to look at the seat next to you and assuming you are in the USA and your driver side is on the left, the seat next to you would be the right. From there make sure you use your turn signal, which can be activated by that bar right next to that big round thing, called the steering wheel, right in front of you and gently push it up until you hear a clicking sound. Make sure no one is in that lane, and use your mirrors, that's it, check your blind spot and that means keep your eyes open, don't rear end that guy in front of you, that's it, now turn your wheel gently to the right, not too much because you will crash into the curb, but gently, that's it now straighten the wheel. Good, now your turn will come up, you will see a Speed way. Then a Autozone. Now, you are gonna want to turn when you see autozone. If you get to IHOP, then you have gone too far........
@tinkywinky4449You're slow dude. Take a look in the mirror before talking shit about a comment you didn't understand lol. The irony. Your comment was totally wrong and unnecessary because you failed to understand that he said exactly what you think about. So you agree with him but still talk shit
Step 1: Stance Barbell is 1" from shin. The bar should be in the middle of your foot. Toes should be pointed out Step 2: Gripping the bar Bend over to grip the bar WITHOUT bending your knees Grip the bar, hands just outside your feet Matched forward grip (do not use mixed grip) When gripping the bar, DO NOT move/roll the barbell, keep it still and steady Step 3: Knees forward Move Knees forward until your shins touch the bar This will be the lowest position your hips are in Elbows should be lined up on the outside of the knees (without lowering or moving hips) **AFTER you are in this position, note: Your hips to not move at all from where they are now through the rest of the movement. Most people are inclined to drop their butt in this step Step 4: Setting the back Lift your chest Drop your belly down in between your knees (WITHOUT DROPPING HIPS) When ready to pull, push out your knees into your elbows slightly (without lowering or moving hips) Chin up (look ahead not down) ** You'll be executing this move with your hips higher than you "want" them Step 5: Drag the bar up your shins / finish Drag the bar up across your shins (think about pushing the floor with your feet as you pull up) Lock your hips when you reach the end of the move The finished position is with your chest pushed up as high as you can (do not roll the shoulders forward) Putting down the bar: Finish in the opposite order Hips unlock first Barbell slides down the thighs Once the barbell passes the knees, the knees unlock and you can set down the bar
Just discovered Rip the other day and this is like the 5th video of his that I've watched. Amazed at the technical detail that he presents in each lift. Completely reinvented lifting for me. Thank you.
This video has changed my deadlift form drastically. Thanks for making the vids, Mark - this literally makes me want to start the journey to become a Starting Strength coach.
In the few months I've been deadlifting, I was getting to the point where I would lift heavy weight (for me), and my form would be *NOT BAD* but I realised that if I wanted to progress 'not bad' wouldn't be good enough. Looking forward to Monday where I'm going to drop the weight down again and start from scratch following Mark's process with perfect form
@All Seeing Eye he's already wasted a year trying. He could've doubled his trap bar deadlift by now instead of spinning his wheels. Some, especially taller, lifters are always gonna have a tougher time maintaining extension on conventional straight bar and unless he's planning to compete in powerlifting theres no benefit to self limiting dogmatism. In the absence of a hexbar, low block pulls or sumo may also be better options.
@@ms-we1ku no it isnt a 'half squat', its still a hige movement with the hams and glutes as prime movers and according to various emg studies it taxes them just as hard as a straight bar dead when adjusted to %1rm loads. Yes it involves the quads more *too* but thats a good thing. Its much easier to learn technically and less taxing on revovery. For somebody whos been spinning his wheels on the deadlift for a year and cant get it to feel right, its clearly worth trying.
This guy is so amazing at pointing out the those small minutia details, he takes forever to set it all up, but once it gets going, he's, this, this, this. Training, the goal of learning the right way to do it, and repeating with that much dedication will set you up for success...
This is the best deadlift video i've seen. I thought I could do deadlifts without any instructions: I ended up doing them with a curved flexion on my back lifting off the ground, and then an over extension of the back when I finished the lift standing up.
I don't know what Rip does that make everyone in the room with him shit their pants with fear, but I swear, everytime Rip talks to a crowd, the whole crowd look scared as hell, as if they're in a room with a tiger ready to snap everyone's shit up lol
It’s nice to see a Deadlift for Dummies video on RUclips. A lot of the other videos don’t go into much detail about the deadlift. I’ve been lifting for a few months but didn’t want to do deadlifts cause I didn’t want to hurt myself. I’m glad I watched this video. I feel confident that I’m going to do these properly next time I hit the gym.
When i got really into learning powerlifting techniques i remember watching this guys older vids. People knock him, but he really offers some sound advice. When you realise that this is aimed at beginner intermediates it can start to make more sense. Going in depth into knee tracking/grip/bracing is great but without an understanding of basics like the bar path or the ability to engage your hips you are not going anywhere.
If only he would have named his book according to the subject material. Then he might not get so much grief about it. Something like: Beginning Barbells
Dont overcomplicate in your mind . Bar mid foot (dont pull from heels), bend, grab, pull up with chest out keep bar close to shins. Tip. Dont drop the hips too much.
Ripp is awesome...He's an Authentic American Classic... And he's likely forgotten more than most people will ever know about bio-mechanics. He talks a lot...But I still having epiphany-flashbacks to points he made years ago, as I'm lifting today... If he says it...there's a valid reason to say it...and to do it.
People complaining about the length of the video. The first 2 words of the title of the video should have given you a hint about the length of the video. Maybe you should learn to read before you learn to deadlift?
@@eljefe5536 No I don't 😆 but the Army say that we have to deadlift at least 180lbs with the Hex🤷♀️ So, I guess we don't get a choice but to get killed 😆🤣
5:04 you see how Rip struggled to do a double overhand grip in mid air? The hesitation? That's a man who's pulled hundreds of pounds worth with a hook grip for decades
Middle of your foot is where you have your balance, and where the most efficient start position is. Anything outside of that, you'll have to fight with the bar to get it into that position in the middle of the pull, so might as well get it right at the beginning
What do I do if every time I deadlift the bar scratches and tears up my skin at the shins and knees, even when I wear jogger pants. Also it feels like my knees are in the way of the bar when pulling along my legs.
That’s because this is “starting strength” for typical people who train for health. It is not “how much can I cheat good form in exchange for being able to lift one more kilo”.
I live in China and at my Gym the 20 k barbells are octaganal, not round, so you have to reset yourself after each pull. My thing is it's a push and it's a pull. Push with legs then pull with the upper body.
I have a question for the mark rippetoe's strength standards. For the deadlift standards is acceptable the sumo deadlift and the conventional deadlift or only the conventional deadlift?
Any tips on keeping your shoulders from moving too far in front of the bar? When I follow the 5 step process I find my shoulders a little too far forward. I've been told to "wedge" the weight up by getting your weight behind the bar, using a sort of seesaw motion where you apply force backwards such that if the weight wasn't there you would fall back, but I can't seem to get this down.
I swear at one point you were teaching the arms should be vertical because it reduces how much the bar travels. What you're saying makes sense, but I'm feeling like I'm going crazy and fabricating memories of things that never happened. Is this an amendment to a previous teaching? I'm all for evolving a process, but just want some reassurance I haven't lost it.
I have a few questions I’ve been wondering about! When lowering the bar from top position, after you’ve pulled it up, how should I start the lowering phase? By focusing on pushing my butt back till it reaches my knees or starting by sliding the bar down my legs? I’ve noticed that this is quite different to some people, it’s easy to tell when people focus on pushing their butt back in order to lower the bar down instead of just manually focusing on sliding it down their legs... Another question is that when I reach my knees with the bar, do I have to manually go bend my knees or will my knees automatically “go with the flow”?
lock it out, then think about sliding your hips back while keeping the bar in contact with your legs. You can unlock your knees as the bar starts to move downwards, but don't put the bar down by only bending at the knees. This will cause the bar to return to floor at a position forward of your mid foot, meaning you will have to reset the bar position every rep. Try to get the bar returned to the same starting position after every rep, if that happens and you don't need to move your feet or roll the bar, then you are doing fine.
@@scottrousseau297 oh no, don’t think this was meant as an insult. You can tell that he has some crazy numbers just by these shorts! Only the strong can pull these bad boys off!
1. Bring your shins 1" from the barbell.

@@gabrielyea same
Ditto on both counts. Always hated deadlifts and squats, now they are my absolute favorites. Learning the low bar squat especially was a game changer for me.
Starting strength is the most sold book on lifting. I thats not good enough recognition its because too few people take learning the craft seriously.
It already is a gold star of lifting. Beginning powerlifters are usually on Starting Strength, learning the Rippertoe way 🌟
You too, can learn the deadlift in 2 minutes in only a half hour
Felt like 2 mins
60% of the time it works 100% of the time.
Unlimited Piss
That’s just Rip’s style...he loves long winded explanations and he speaks very slowly.
@Thomas Jefferson LOL

Is anyone else yelling at themselves “DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL!” as they apply these techniques? My lift has improved so much thanks to this video. Thank you Coach Rippetoe!
Yeah I tweaked my back today because I thought I wasn't using my legs enough but the vid made me realize I was doing em right all along
If I had learned how to do a deadlift properly 40 years ago, my back wouldnt be the trainwreck it is today. New lifters are so fortunate to have this information so accessible today.
Wasn't there anyone to talk to you about proper form?

Finally after 39 years i learned the deadlift properly it only took the coronavirus
"It doesn't bother me at all when you take a hook grip. I can't feel a thing." Rip is in rare form in this video.
Rips been wearing the same clothes for 30 years
Carhartt's and Gildan T-shirts cover a multitude.
Those pants look hella uncomfortable.
Seems to be working for him
"i dont care about my comfort"
Ron Swanson himself.
just bought your book and i must say it is well written and keeps your attention...this man truly is a gift
Nice to see Tim Cook learning from Rip
Scrolled down to see this. RUclips did not disappoint :D
Yeah me too! Looks like he's keen to smash some five by fives out to look on point at the next keynote
Not sure if you're familiar with the Swedish actor Matias Varela, but seems like he is also attending :)
I am about to mention that , it 's truly him , Tim cook
Is he the man wearing gray shirt??
Step 1: Stance
Barbell is 1" from shin.
The bar should be in the middle of your foot.
Toes should be pointed out
Step 2: Gripping the bar
Bend over to grip the bar WITHOUT bending your knees
Grip the bar, hands just outside your feet
Matched forward grip (do not use mixed grip)
When gripping the bar, DO NOT move/roll the barbell, keep it still and steady
Step 3: Knees forward
Move Knees forward until your shins touch the bar
This will be the lowest position your hips are in
Elbows should be lined up on the outside of the knees (without lowering or moving hips)
**AFTER you are in this position, note: Your hips to not move at all from where they are now through the rest of the movement. Most people are inclined to drop their butt in this step
Step 4: Setting the back
Lift your chest
Drop your belly down in between your knees (WITHOUT DROPPING HIPS)
When ready to pull, push out your knees into your elbows slightly (without lowering or moving hips)
Chin up (look ahead not down)
** You'll be executing this move with your hips higher than you "want" them
Step 5: Drag the bar up your shins
/ finish
Drag the bar up across your shins (think about pushing the floor with your feet as you pull up)
Lock your hips when you reach the end of the move
The finished position is with your chest pushed up as high as you can (do not roll the shoulders forward)
Putting down the bar: Finish in the opposite order
Hips unlock first
Barbell slides down the thighs
Once the barbell passes the knees, the knees unlock and you can set down the bar

Is that Tim Cook in the background?
I use straps for heavy lifts and the bar tends to roll off its spot messing my foot placement when tying them, is there a way you can fix this? Thanks

Where's the trap bar deadlift tutorial?
Someone wanna explain that part to me of having your shoulders IM FRONT of the bar to pull it BACKWARD into your body?
This is Golden.
The best video I have ever watched on deadlifts absolute gem!!!
I literally cannot bend over and grab the barbell without bending my knees significantly. Am I just to tight to perform this deadlift?
Maybe legs too long for deadlifts
Do Romanians maybe you hamstrings are tight
@@rubenmycox yeah hamstrings are extremely tight
Benjamin Is Awesome start with barbell only and stretch daily. Slow and easy 👍🏻
Why is it so important to always keep the bar above middle of foot? Is it a safety thing?
21:14 he explains it
"...then the whole system is out forward..."
You will not have safe or correct biomechanics
Middle of your foot is where you have your balance, and where the most efficient start position is. Anything outside of that, you'll have to fight with the bar to get it into that position in the middle of the pull, so might as well get it right at the beginning
At 8:00 I realized you’ve transformed into Louie Simmons
What do I do if every time I deadlift the bar scratches and tears up my skin at the shins and knees, even when I wear jogger pants. Also it feels like my knees are in the way of the bar when pulling along my legs.
9x audio, you're welcome
I agree with him about the double overhand grip. I hate seeing people deadlift light loads with an alternate grip. 🤦
at the same time, light is relative to strength. What somebody might rep out as a warm-up, i might be asking for a spotter on for a 1-rep max.
This is gold!
where did she get the custom color chuck taylors? love the color? can someone help with this?
Why does Sir Rippetoe disagree with the sumo version?
if your doing sumo you might as well not bother go to the gym
@Corey Lambrecht
Thank you for your insight.
mr face stupid comment
Simply because: Pull sumo- eat butt. No explanation needed. 😁
Doesn't matter what he thinks, do them if you want.
Thank you.
This does seem to be a pretty decent form but I haven’t seen this form on any of the heaviest deadlifts
That’s because this is “starting strength” for typical people who train for health. It is not “how much can I cheat good form in exchange for being able to lift one more kilo”.
How do you drop your gut between your legs? Is he refering to bracing?

Any tips on keeping your shoulders from moving too far in front of the bar? When I follow the 5 step process I find my shoulders a little too far forward. I've been told to "wedge" the weight up by getting your weight behind the bar, using a sort of seesaw motion where you apply force backwards such that if the weight wasn't there you would fall back, but I can't seem to get this down.
I swear at one point you were teaching the arms should be vertical because it reduces how much the bar travels. What you're saying makes sense, but I'm feeling like I'm going crazy and fabricating memories of things that never happened. Is this an amendment to a previous teaching? I'm all for evolving a process, but just want some reassurance I haven't lost it.
Can't speak for the earlier editions but SSBBT3 definitely has the shoulder slightly in front of the bar.
Hey Mark, any thoughts on a dead lift using a hex bar..?
Aren't you suppose to be looking down at the ground instead of straight infront of you in order to keep your spine inline with the rest of your body?
I have a few questions I’ve been wondering about!
When lowering the bar from top position, after you’ve pulled it up, how should I start the lowering phase? By focusing on pushing my butt back till it reaches my knees or starting by sliding the bar down my legs? I’ve noticed that this is quite different to some people, it’s easy to tell when people focus on pushing their butt back in order to lower the bar down instead of just manually focusing on sliding it down their legs...
Another question is that when I reach my knees with the bar, do I have to manually go bend my knees or will my knees automatically “go with the flow”?
lock it out, then think about sliding your hips back while keeping the bar in contact with your legs. You can unlock your knees as the bar starts to move downwards, but don't put the bar down by only bending at the knees. This will cause the bar to return to floor at a position forward of your mid foot, meaning you will have to reset the bar position every rep.
Try to get the bar returned to the same starting position after every rep, if that happens and you don't need to move your feet or roll the bar, then you are doing fine.
James Corbett thanks for your help!
I’ll give it a shot 😉
0:28 those jean shorts doe! Nothing says “get er done!” Like jean shorts cut 2-3 inches above the knee for that max deadlift pull! Dead 💀 😂
Almost died when I clicked the time stamp lmao!!!
For what its worth, the dude in the cut offs overhead presses 405 at 242 bodyweight.
@@scottrousseau297 oh no, don’t think this was meant as an insult. You can tell that he has some crazy numbers just by these shorts! Only the strong can pull these bad boys off!
