Deadlift Training in Leeds Feb 2008

[Pacman89Champ]

tThis video is very motivating to me. 95% of the guys in my gym dont even deadlift or squat all I see them do is bench and do bicep variations. The most I ever deadlifted is 400x2 (no hitching) Im 21, 5ft 9in and 170-173lbs with a skinny-muscular build. Im trying to compete in a deadlift contest at my gym this spring and trying to jack my deadlift up going the natural way. Please please if you can lend me some tips whether its adding any special foods to my diet to doing some secret prayers. Thx

Some great power there guys.

[MetaIhead89]

the black guy at 2:00 looked like he was possessed by Deadlift devil

[TrrOtaku]

GO YORKSHIRE

[TheRugbyidiot]

a good old time

[virtualreal]

That gym has a great camaraderie.

[Krylogenic]

vsallbutme, you have not a clue these guys are tough and strong powerlifters so give them respect or go get on a machine in your spandex and shut the fuck up!

[Arnold91Schwarzi]

Is this mark felix at 2:20 ?

[Yalashaska]

No, and Felix is much stronger

[delo01]

quit moaning about his fucking form, the fact he is able to lift that weight means he hasn't injured his back.

[iowabrawler]

Truly a utopia for aspiring power lifters! Excellent 5 stars!!!

[vsallbutme]

wow a barch of fat guys with bad form

[jpnorth123]

Guy in the all black,-awful technique. surprised he's still lifting. Good atmosphere tho.

[coldos]

Quality video, looks a good laugh too.

[TheWildGiraffe]

why are some of them using blocks and others are on the ground

[crombet01]

lack of flexibilty. most of them have shit technique cause of bad flexibilty. the black boy was awesome tho, good weight and technique. well done

[chrisnumber93]

how much was the double at the end by jim?

[Entity2009]

Great video, wish there was a gym like that around my area!

[ThecrazyworldofBM]

I wish i went to that gym. In my commercial gym, i'm the only guy who does deadlifts. The others are to busy on the bench press and preacher curls.

[trookers]

thats a shame but im the only one as well ...

[foottothroat21]

agreed. im the only guy who goes on the squat rack any heavier then 2 plates a side (you rarely even see that), and the only one who ever does deadlifts

[tselegala]

lol mee too!! Bunch of wanabees trying too get a little baby muscle to look good in a bar. I'm the only one does deadlifts too. They even think they are big walking around with their arms wide and their chest filled with air. i feel the stares when i pull heavy...i dream of finding a REAL gym.

[NoPlaceForLoafers]

Dude, check out the BiologicLabs channel.

Serious shit right there...

[biglogstrongman]

Wonderful gym - looks like a good group of lifters pulling for pr's.

Gorillas eating bananas and Brittany Spears playing in the background? Funny

[jackattack247]

great lifting, great atmosphere!

[1youratube1]

The best deadlift video on youtube easy, favourited. Great stuff.

[sktterd]

I always thought my dead lift was weak. But seeing that I'm dead lifting as much as these guys and I'm half their size I don't feel so bad anymore.

[sktterd]

Hahaha, whoops. Didn't realize you included the warm-up with the vid. I take that back.

[Hirepgym]

Well i see at least 5 world champions there how come your not amongst them ?

[sktterd]

Did you even read my second reply? I didn't realize that was the warm-up at the beginning.

[mazin627]

I did Deadlifts this morning. Six sets of 8 reps 180kg. I weigh between 75kg and 80kg.

I couldn't really be sure what these guys were lifting. It looked a bit more, but they were all much bigger men than me.

I never train 1-3 rep range as I tore a hamstring and it has mentally scarred me. I always thought that it was better to train in the 6-8 rep range.

Total respect to anyone who does this exercise. Dread the minute or so before you do the exercise, but gives you a great high after

[spidanez]

@sktterd thats just a speed warmup to activate fast twitch muscles. but you never know... you might be right there with them one day. also im not sure if those are 45 lb plates or 100 lb plates. they are in europe where they dont have the same types of plates as us.

[1strengthandhealth9]

@sktterd They're using your max for speed.

[BDFPA]

WTF, Andy dosen't even lift, the title of this video is misleading. Don't get me wrong that was some very impressing lifting by everyone, just a little disappointed.

[Hirepgym]

Its Andy's team training and his in it with them you wont see video of Andy himself training unless you buy his DVD

[webbyman]

Out of interest (I hope I don't get slated)

why do they pay little attention to form?

Admittedly I am nothing compared to a lot of you guys, just didn't understand it..

Is this maybe strengthening the weakness of their curled back so when they do go heavy and keep a straight back they are less likely to injur themselves?

(probably talking A LOT of crap there)

[Hirepgym]

I think the question was answered previously , these are world class lifters not novices learning in a fitness center where health & safety has to apply , no one would say compeditive sport is safe, its not by definition you are pushing the limits higher than anyone has gone before and the rule book goes out the window.

[gdgrim]

very good vid! keep it up!

[RhaAL]

at my gym, im one of 2 guys ive ever seen, who do deadlifts

[forum37]

why isnt there any gyms like that in birmingham,a big group off lads all doing one movement, some big blokes so not so big, cheering eachother on!!!!

[bboss99]

Real guys..

[MemoROFL]

Damn I wish I could train at that gym. Great vid!!

[swf3]

awesome vid. could be the best vid i have ever seen on youtube

5 stars!

[Hirepgym]

cheers nice comment ! hopefully it might help promote the sport and bring more people over to it

[australianpom]

your back is supposed to be straight when deadlifting to prevent injury not bent! and also why the fuck are they jerking the bar up like that?? im a personal trainer lol this is hilarious!

[Hirepgym]

Thats why they are world champions and your just a personal trainer

[australianpom]

just a personal trainer? lol i make more in a day than you probably make in a whole week!

[Hirepgym]

Somewhat exageratted isnt it? with over 500 members and not counting casual users and the fact i am a certificatted personal trainer, strength coach, federation staff coach and 32 other qualifications ?

[ianrutherford1975]

we do lock our backs out, we dont hyper extend the back. and like my man Hirepgym said. . . they are world champions, so i guess there doing something right. sat dow with us is andy bolton, world record holder in the deadlift.

[Matgic1]

You are a fool.

[Matgic1]

That was for austrailianporn by the way.

[ironnickel]

Ah yes, a personal trainer, no doubt he could give a Andy Bolton a few tips... on hairstyles, personal grooming products, etc.

[molnes]

HAHAHA you ignorant fool. These guys don't train to be fit and healthy. They train to lift as much weight as possible and frankly they are damn good at it.

[australianpom]

My comment has got nothing to do with training to be fit and healthy... but training safely! No doubt these boys can lift some serious poundage but I do question the technique they choose to use which IMO can cause serious injury. That is all.

[molnes]

It's just fun to see random internet-dudes trying to learn Andy Bolton how to deadlift properly.. FYI he is the current world record holder.

[mccannruairi]

awesome vid.man that looks like fun.would love to get a group like that goin
