How To Deadlift, How to deadlift more weight

[HeroDanny]

you're 6'6??? Damn, you might need specially made plates so you can get the bar high enough to prevent injury, also you need a better audio recorder, I had to turn my speakers waaaay up.

[jimmysmithtraining]

@HeroDanny Yeah this video was recorded with an old camera. Audio quality is better in my more recent videos. Thanks for watching.

[dudesome6969]

How tall are you?

[jimmysmithtraining]

@dudesome6969 6'6

Previously had a broken back (L3) and would deadlifting in this manner asist with strengthening the lower back or would it aggravate the area? I am 47 years old.

[jimmysmithtraining]

@sachsunkelt Thanks for the comment. It depends how long ago your injury was. Was it recent? Have you been cleared by your doctor? Deadlifts are healthy for the low back but not for every one.

[sachsunkelt]

@jimmysmithtraining Back in 87. Never really got 'cleared' to do weights but did get cleared to go back to work. Recent MRI shows disc bulges in three places so I only squat with a belt but don't feel comfortable with deadlifts. Been benching and am doing ok for my age since I took weights back up 6 months ago at 46 years of age. But thought squats and deads might help.

[jimmysmithtraining]

@sachsunkelt Deadlifts are a lot better then squats for low back health. Stay away from back squatting since it puts a ton of compression on the lumbar spine. Start out slow and follow the video.

[LuDimezofKush]

Very informative I already had some of that knowledge which is how I was 25lb shy of lifting 3 times my body weight. Def great advice. Check my video you ever get the chance I'm 160lbs body weight I lifted 455. Feel free to critique my lift for thats what I look for so I can grow.

[jimmysmithtraining]

@LuDimezofKush Thanks buddy! Put some videos up and I'll take a look.

[desmcc01]

Video is very good. One thing to point out though is that the initial lift requires a massive push with your legs, keeping form. Very good video though.

[jimmysmithtraining]

@desmcc01 Thanks buddy!

Over-under or opposed grip is used to negate the rolling force of the bar during heavy lifts. To the extent possible, it is better to use parallel grip to maintain symmetry in the torso during the deadlift.

nike cortez fly motions? xd

squeeze your ass

[y2khawk262]

thanks for the good pointers.

[jimmysmithtraining]

@y2khawk262 Anytime. Have you subscribed?

[kingdouble123]

Its a bit weird when dieting comes into the picture. Physical sculpturing and diet sculpturing must come to together and study of hormones will be helpful.Clear discipline at the timings you eat is important. Understanding the variation of muscle sizes, ,target the right groups, and anatomy of the body comes important.

[blacksmith8844]

Thanks for the Vid.

Just a question... How important is it to have the over-under hook grip? Does it really help you pull more weight?

[jimmysmithtraining]

To be honest, I use a over-over grip. Just feels more comfortable.

[armil365riza]

Great compound exercise. Also great tip on rocking to work the glutes while doing deads.

[evahnyird]

nice video but where are the pullups in this back workout?

[evahnyird]

oops see it

[Scurpione]

and explain why the lower back loses its natural curve during the lifting XD

[ZionistCensorship]

thanks, ur vid helped me.

[anthonybodea]

question

I pulled my back doing a deadlift.

and I want to know how long will take for me to recover.

[1angrywhiteman1]

Everyone heals at a different speed but i would suggest plenty of protien and mabey start takin glutamine if ur not already.....hope u feel better

[kingdouble123]

Its important to strengthen yr lower back to support the lower portion of the vertebrae. Nutrition has little help because blood flow to the bones are poor. See a doctor or physiotherapist for better advise.

[QuinnBoucher]

you know your blood cells are made in your bones, right? The bones are actually well supplied with blood.

[richiethepimphustler]

hey man isnt deadlift for your lower back cause when i do them i feel my lower back

[Claymore2408]

it's a whole body exercise

[ctg123321]

Good video, one of the best deadlift instructionals I've seen. Very clear and the camera angle is good so you can see the position properly. Thanks for posting.

[NejcKoso]

nice jimmy. :) you should really start doing longer videos and get more specific in stuff, but this demonstration and video were just 5 stars, no matter the lenght! VERY NICE ;D

[pinkhey]

Hey jimmy, you forgot to show the most impt thing..the grip!!

cause i dont know what is the correct grip..

[kaierlend]

it is verry easy to show good technique and form on lightwight but on heavyweight it does not work that way..

[tuttimannnnn]

everytime i deadlift my knees and shins always get scractched by the bar..is that normal?

[qnsboxer422]

yep

[chrisjenkins400]

Better without those trainers on, flat foot is better :) Enjoyed the video

[splooshfoosh]

good advice, thanks a lot

[manny097]

Being that it works you lower back, does this benefit getting rid of love handles, i been training for years Diet is good, cardio, but that side stubborn fat sucks tried everything

[ArnoldisMyNigga]

no. diet harder. its the only way. no exercise burns love handle fat. its all down to calories you take in to the calories you burn.

basically eat less calories than you burn and you will lose your love handles. hope this helps.

[Carkavias]

So for a full deadlift workout, how many sets and at how many reps should I be doing? I was thinking to do it kinda like my bench, with 4x10, 4x8, 4x6. and 4x4. I start off in reverse with my bench though, heavy weight first, then work my way down, more reps, less weight, same amount of sets. After my low weight warmup set tho.

[RossPK81]

I find it hard to breathe after a few reps when doing deadlifts. I'm wondering if that is down to my form not being so good, because I start really low down and this video tells you not to do that.

If only I didn't find it so hard to breathe they wouldn't be so punishing.

[bdc03]

don't hold your breathe, and you're probably using too much weight

[ludeman21]

It's a good thing if you breathe hard, you are supposed to because its a workout which uses most of your muscles... and you need to breathe hard to bring oxygen to your muscles so...

[bikerrylan79]

Try taking a very large breath right before you start and make stronger inhale and exhale patterns, you should be maxing out your lungs compasity with every breath. Oh and be sure NOT to hold your breath at all. Breath all the way threw. I got a hurnia from holding my breath while doing squats. Not a fun thing to have.

[jamesoconnell30]

exhale on exertion?

[Skierfe]

ah hm, im gonna try that tomorrow, get my technique right, ive never really done it with good technique i think and starting low with my hips real low and all that.

[joycejjames]

This stuff really works. Just look at the guy. he hasn't gone too far either, with his muscle building. He lifts a lot!

[phaleg1977]

the reverse grip is just to avoid the bar to spin

[Prons]

Hey Jimmy, when you do a deadlift are you supposed to have your palms facing your face, or the back of your hand facing your face?

[toshiba009]

i think you're supposed to have one hand facing you and the other looking away from you, but that really depends on how you want to do it, some people do both hands looking away because it's more comportable for them.

[Marax1231]

i did it with my hips less low and messed my back up was out for 3 days and coudnt dead for about 2 weeks, couldnt do any squats with heavy weight either

[fitnessninja]

That was very good jimmy. Awesome technique, form, and teaching. Good stuff.

[lemmiwinks48]

good stuff

[sam14641]

sup jimmy

lovin the videos

really honest, no nonsense and to the point.

you should change the intro/outro music to something less gay and trumpetty to something more badass

[jimmysmithtraining]

I'm playing around with different types of music so I'll keep bringing fresh tunes
