      @@leraplaksyva2031 so, when you’re deadlifting, a lot of people focus on pulling the weight up as they stand, but, if you focus on planting yourself and pushing the world down with your feet, it tenses your legs and core and allows you to use your back to lift the weight.
      Treat your arms and hands as hooks that hold the bar…
      Hopefully that makes sense

I am interested to know, should one think about pushing the floor away with the heels, the balls of the feet or evenly - I am inclined to overthink a thing sometimes :) I also found the advice about tensioning the lats and raising the chest very helpful

    1. "Squatting" the Deadlift 1:20
    Solution 2:02: (i) Start with hips positioned between level of head and knees, (ii) Ensure that the bar is directly under your scapulae
    2. Rounding the back. 2:38
    Solution 3:00: (i) Change the way you think of the deadlift: pushing the floor away with your feet as you lift the bar, (ii) strengthen your hip
    3. Not maintaining a straight bar path 4:10
    Solution 4:40: (i) start with the bar over your mid-footh, (ii) engage your lats
    4. Jerking the weight off the floor 5:40
    Solution 6:00: (i) Raise chest up and slightly pull up the bar
    5. Overextending the lockout 6:17

    For myself*
    1. Correct angle ; Hips between head and knee
    2. Make sure scapulas directly above bar
    3. Think pushing feet away from floor (like a leg press)
    4. Place bar over mid foot and keep bar close to body (vertical line)
    5. Engage lats (think straight arm Pulldown)
    6. Don’t jerk the weight at beginning. Raise chest up and slightly pull up to generate tension.
    7. Contract glutes at top and don’t hyperextend.

    • @clerpington_the_fifth
      @clerpington_the_fifth 3 года назад +11

      I guarantee you your legs weren't bending very much if at all when bringing the bar up. Gradually unbending your knees will take the strain off your back and onto your glutes and quads, allowing you to use 3 of those muscles instead of just one.

    • @clerpington_the_fifth
      @clerpington_the_fifth 3 года назад +27

      @@sara.othman Probably shouldn't do 3 days in a row deadlifts...maybe 2-3 times week, but not on consecutive days. Even with proper form, caloric intake, rest days and sleep, deadlifts are quite taxing on the body, as you now know.
      I like to alternate deadlifting one day and squatting the next since both involve lifting close to or actually the most possible weight your body is capable of lifting without hurting yourself. My usual is 4-5 days a week of working out.

    • @slbaaron
      @slbaaron 6 лет назад +35

      On the contrary, I think every other Jeremy's video have piqued my interest more due to his heavily science backed researched results where it's not offered anywhere else. This is more of a straight forward tutorial. He has good visualization and commentary as always, but not necessarily a better video than ones that teaches how to easily apply them or look for easy cues without literally recording yourself in a gym. For example, how do you know from first person perspective that your bar is travelling directly up? The normal cue it to drag it along your legs and it's usually pretty good. He doesn't explain any of these rules of thumb anyone can easily follow. You would think it's easy to keep in mind all these things explained in detail by Jeremy while doing a deadlift, but if you start pushing weight - which should almost always the case with deadlift - you absolutely don't have the extra attention to think about all these. You'd also miss half the things without seeing it from a 3rd person perspective. Following a few simple rules are better than all the extra fluff. To execute a proper CDL, you need to start with RDL, and that's where Alan Thrall's RDL tutorial absolute shines. Most people do CDL wrong (outside of the visually obvious) due to not rotating hip hinge alongside the back together, which this video does not emphasize on. If your hamstring does not feel like they are being stretched to the range of your flexibility and being "loaded", then that's a huge problem. This tutorial is much more beginner focused than the other tutorials. To quote Alan - "FEEEEEEL the stretch in your hams", that's the no.1 tip I've ever received in terms of deadlift when I was stuck at 225-275lbs range and couldn't quite hit 3 plates due to not having a perfectly executed hip hinge. Also I feel Jeremy did not place enough of an emphasis on which mistakes are ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL to avoid if you don't want to get fcked up. A lot of the other exercise "mistakes" are about maximizing gains or avoid "minor injuries" or injuries long term, but some mistakes in deadlifts are much more extreme if you are lifting 3-4 plates.
      Edit: For example, I have a friend who have bad posture induced hunched back and couldn't straighten the back despite best efforts, for people like that, doing deadlifts are absolutely no-nos. If you can't do DL without rounded back, you simply don't do DL and work on other things to attempt a recovery. It's not something to "improve on". Also I just noticed Jeremy didn't even mention about sinking shoulders, or at least the simple cue - maintaining your chest and shoulders open and wide. Sure engaging the lats correctly will avoid that, but it's a simple cue to look for - is my chest / shoulders being squeezed in? I think that's my critique overall for this video, a lot of concepts, not enough easy to apply tips when you are actually in the gym. Jeremy is a great knowledge summarizer especially when it comes to gym myths or comparisons, but not the best tutorial maker IMHO.
      Edit2: Also no mention of the biggest cause of major injury in deadlift - bicep tears. Whether it's not keep a straight arm from helping too much or knees kicking em out or grip styles. Ok.

  • @soapbox187
    @soapbox187 2 года назад +2

    The number one way to execute a proper deadlift is to lighten the weight. DL is the essential ego lift motion.
    Second way to improve your DL motion and maximize benefit is to control the weight on the way down. This stabilizes connective tissue and keeps load on muscles while lengthening which improves blood flow, flexibility and overall progress.
    Don't slam the weight down; if you are you are lifting too heavy. Muscles do not respond to EXCESSIVE loads on muscles the CNS responds to loads just above previous baseline; meaning small increments from previous loads you were able to handle properly.
    Grwat video.
