Dead lift Exercise - How To Fix A Common Form Mistake

[TheFreshbum]

"The key is to put it all in your groin and your back. Take your legs totally out of the equasion. Lift with your lower back in a jerking, twisting motion."

I love deadlift, but how do i increase my grip strength?

[siddhme]

[8254988]

[TheAdiBullet]

Dude. Your hand motions are fucking brilliant :P

[evanschickable]

[armenianderick]

Supinated grip on deadlifts....? Sketchy? 

[J0k3r4U]

Dude! You and I HAVE to work together sometime!

:o

[dauntSilver]

I've been noticing that this problem has been getting worse the heavier i lift.. thanks for the form advice!

[dogbite4796]

Hey Elliot im 15 years old and i can deadlift 225 pounds and i weight 175 pouds is that good or not because my coach tells me i have perfect posture?

[wildwilie]

Keep up the vids your helping alot of people out there with your very good knowledge.

Thumbs way way up!

[TibetanAlkmist]

Since this is a static exercise, how long do you hold it for? Should it be timed or just until failure?

[Cuebra]

Brilliant video. Congratulations!

[mpex1980]

Hey Elliot?

What is the best kind of grip for Deadlifts? Over and under, over or just under grip?

[thenormalyears]

FUCK YEA I have a feeling this is gonna be really helpful to fix my deadlift form.

[boby6]

this is the definition of what i look like now. my chest is so large it is causing my back to round. thanks i will be working on increasing my deadlift

[Ingamells17]

Could of shown us!

[TheBamBamBoom]

works for boxers and kickboxers too

[HawkReborn]

Great video! I have a tight left shoulder from injury and noticed I was doing it mainly overhand. I am going to work on the pinching shoulderblades together to get it up to par! Thanks

[yunk9]

Nice power rack. Would like one of those \o/

[adjuvants12780]

Hey elliot, i was listening to ur baseball player proposition and i believe that there is another group of athletes with similar medial rotational problems: swimmers. I am a competitive swimmer and i need to develop some strength but i find benchpressing, deadlifitng and squatting dificult due to my shoulder hunch. R there any daily exercises and stretches u can recomment for preventing this "shrug"? thanks.

[strengthcamp]

@adjuvants12780 YEA, continue to perform rows and "unwinding" moves, but you'll need to be SUPER conscious about keeping your shoulders DOWN. just imagine having a "long neck" when doing these moves.

[MrDonster2009]

@adjuvants12780 .......surfing too!

[zak4tt4ck]

wow dude just what i was looking for ........... thx subed

what kind of weight would you recommend for doing this exercise? i normally dead lift 120 kg.... but i have horrible form

[RexNoMeGusta]

Why don't you just do a shrug - - but, then do your exercise tip?

[thatstheguy07]

Awesome vid. What you described at the 1st there is exactly my situation. Today is back day so Ill give this a try at the end.

[gitterfritter]

This dude really speaks some truth here. Great video. I subscribed.

[Lewis1985]

People who look big are often just fat with thier shirt off. You know it's true.

[327caveman]

Man bro, I can't tell you how glad I am that I came across this. I am an avid CrossFitter and I pitched my whole life all through college. I am 5'11' and 180 lbs and my bench PR is 320. so frustrating. nobody could offer helpful advice, as my form looks good, but I deadlifted today keeping in mind everything you said and I pulled 360!!!

[strengthcamp]

@327caveman very cool... im happy this helped you!

[CIarKent]

wow you sound very knowledgable. subscribed

[taibeach]

Love your video! I just finish my 3 weeks circuit routine with weights and starting a weight lifting split routine to build muscle. I'm particular about proper form but for some reason I can't get the deadlift right. By rep 3 my lower back starts to hurt. Ugh! so frustrating. I'm gonna to try your technique today and hopefully I can get it right. thanks again!

[observer855]

great video, very informative.  thanks!

[savannahsmiles1980]

Nice video and you pointed out a lot of mistakes that people make. I did, however, notice that you were lifting with your back and not legs.

[titans091052]

@savannahsmiles1980 He didn't even do any deatlifts :/ He just picked up the bar so he could show how to fix poor form. He wasn't actually trying to demonstrate how to do deadlifts.

[thatstheguy07]

@savannahsmiles1980 Lol he picked the bar up to demonstrate something. He wasnt doing a deadlift. Obviously that weight is quite light for him.

[RealLifeIZ]

i have this really bad i played baseball my whole life and now when i lift i feel like i always get injured could this cause injuries too

[crv26]

just to echo and solidify what this guy is saying, my orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist told be the same exact thing about the weakness in those certain muscles that cause "winging." This can also lead to shoulder problems (which i have). This is guy really knows his field.

[Truthzon]

I have a client who has the same problem and his shoulders roll forward with an overdeveloped trapezius muscle. As a result he has neck problems especially on the right side. He has played racket sports for decades and is exactly as u say above. He also has underdeveloped lats. In addition to the excellent advise with the hand positioning, I am planning on having him do a lot of lightweight back work (all types of rows, lat pulls..) to push the spine forward & bring the shoulders back.

[Truthzon]

I will also have him do deadlifts the way you have shown here work at the end for the stabilizers. What do u think about rear deltoid work? I am thinking of including this I would like to get your thoughts & ideas for excercises &would it be alright for this person to do chest routines, and shrugs? I am thinking to mainly target the back region to correct his posture first but would like yout thoughts.

I really appreciate this video a lot &thank you for your words, work, & time. Excellent.

[cavsarebitches]

he looks like the rock

[blueborne]

Strength Camp has 1 member.

[nikolatesla08]

my high school strength coaches sucked, They should lose there jobs for not correcting bad posture and muscle imbalances.

[MadsBille]

Your arms are HUGE! Sorry, just had to get it of my chest :P.. I don't know how you come up with this stuff, but you're a genius!

[manslaughterin9]

you seem very dedicated to your work, nice videos

[PregnantWorker]

how long do u train?

[seymond2000]

Thanks for the tip. It really helped a guy I've been training.

[smittydiesel]

This is a great video. Elliot points out a little known "hand talking" or "fascial raking" technique where the athlete "learns to engage" a certain muscle group just by the coach touching that area during the movement.

Great job Elliot.

[strengthcamp]

Thanks Smitty!

[jdk303]

Great advice and a much needed video. No one else seems to be covering this.

[PinoyStyle916]

how old you need to be on strength camp? cuz i wanna join in to get buffer. and stronger.

[nba8340]

good vid,

the power rack that you ahve is that a bodysolid?

is it good, cause i'm lookign to buy a power rack for home but can't figure out which one to buy?

[strengthcamp]

yes, it is.

[WasGibtsLeute]

What's about your project?

Lean Hybrid Muscle Building.

I am waiting for part 2.

[strengthcamp]

Yep! I've got a few videos for LHM that I've been holding onto... I'll post them soon. Thanks!

[Phatfarm1980]

You do really know your stuff :)

[strengthcamp]

Thanks!

[wisdometernal]

Good idea. I don't have any clients that round their shoulders in the deadlift, but I may use it anyway to strengthen the lift ultimately. You're looking lean bro...Hybrid Muscle!!!

[strengthcamp]

Thanks! Yea, I'm down to around 16% BF. Aiming for 10% by November.

[TheIronAthElite]

good stuff bro
