    your advices are top of the game. I used to be stuck at deadlift for a while but you made me break plateau.
    I'm 5ft10, I have the legs of a 5ft7 guy and the torso of a 6ft2 guy, deadlift has always been ridiculously difficult for me to the point where my high bar beltess squat matched it.
    Now with your help I understood that I needed to "squat the bar" and it made the difference. I start with hips lows, shoulder width stance, shoulders above knees, vertical chin, I went from 380lbs DL to 460lbs in 2 months.

    Awesome video!. It took me many years to learn how taxing the deadlift is and to not forget that it is just as important to have enough of days to fully rest and recover.
    I had a pretty hard deadlift session doing 4x4 then I got sick and had something like 14 days of rest spread of a period of 25 days while recovering from the flu infection.
    When I got back to training I was so sure that my deadlift had taken a huge hit but turns out all that resting led to an all time personal record. Then I realised how important resting is for deads.

    Heavy back extensions (Pete Rubish style) has for sure made the biggest difference for me. They don’t fatigue me much while i can go high volume and intensity. Hamstring curls have also made a huge difference, there are a lot of gains to be made from knee flexion, don’t only do hip extension for hamstrings.
    That way i can keep deadlift at low volume and do progress every block.

    I will also add that overall intensity and volume for other movements/muscle groups play a part. I’ve been running the OrtMag deadlift program but failed on week ten to my surprise. It was hot so chalked it up to that. Failed the next week which made me look at my overall programming.
    I was toying with doing a strongman contest later in the summer, so I’ve been building up everything, pressing, event days etc.
    Well, I finally got to the point where every workout is challenging and it was just too much and deadlifts dig such a recovery hole that I started to regress in everything.
    Long story short: if you’re concentrating on deadlifts, scale back on other goals then reassess after hitting the deadlift goal. It can be sustained for a short period but lucky I realized it now before injury struck.

But I'm not sure which book you mean. Actually I also bought Base and Peak Strength and looking at the ToC those don't look like they address bracing. So could you kindly clarify which book you were referring to?

    I vividly remember looking for the secret sauce on deadlift. I’m a decent deadlifter but I had a huge jump in my bench from figuring out some technical stuff. I used to think there was something about my deadlift I could tweak and get that extra 5% in a matter of weeks. Maybe there is maybe there isn’t, but it’s definitely better to just train to get strong and not overthink the rest.

  • @TheBrick534
    @TheBrick534 Год назад +3

    You experience with deads has been my experience with squats. As someone who's leverages favour pulls MUCH more over squats, squats have always been a hell of a challenge for me to get "right" It took years of trial and error, successes and failures, to come to a place where I'm actually confident in my ability to squat and enjoy training them because of how challenging and difficult they are for me. By nature, my squat numbers will likely be lower than the average standard for those in my age in weight, but my deadlift and bench certainly make up for it. Besides, it really doesn't matter what the numbers are in the end, it's who you become in the process of refusing to give up and continuing to persevere in the face of adversity.

    Good job here. I would also add that the ape index ratio is measured to include the shoulder girdle. This means that a narrow shoulder structure can lower that number when the arms may still be long or vice versa. When fighters get their reach measured, they usually measure total wingspan, but sometimes they measure an outstretched arm from the body and then double it. This more accurately shows how far they can “reach”. Deyontay Wilder is an example of someone who has very long arms, but his shoulders are normal to narrow comparatively so his reach is 4.3” longer than his height (6ft7). Sonny Liston was an example of having both, so his reach is 11” longer than his height (6ft1). If your interested in the highest ape index ratio in the UFC at least, it’s Kevin Lee.

    I'm tall with very long legs, and a lot of what you said during the limb proportion section explains why I thrive at conventional deadlift despite on paper not having the best leverages for it (same form as that guy at 13:07) - having a strong lower back and hammies means that I can have pooping-dog-butt-up-in-the-air form and be very strong and comfortable lifting in that position. But even though I have strong quads, if I try squatting into the bar in my hips shooting up first anyways. I do wonder though if its having a great deadlift in spite of that hip dominant form though, and whether I would have done better with sumo.
