205 x 10 Dead Lift Warm Up Set with Perfect Form

[kryptonmetal]

Your butt is to high up, back lower back isn't arched, upper back isn't straight, chest isn't out, head isn't up. You pull that 205 like its nothing, if u fix your form you could be really strong.

[bigbawsdogg]

very good form

[andrew7913]

perfect form ehh

[punxnotdead309]

You have to ensure that when your deadlifting that you keep your shoulder girdle stable at all times. Meaning elevate, retract and depress your scapula (shoudler blades). By doing this it prevents you from rounding your upper back. You can also avoid rounding by not leaning forward as much. its similar to a squat in that you want to drive up through your heels.

[murphy0847]

I don't know what is the saddest part. either the fact that he is wearing gloves or the fact that he thinks that was "perfect" form. This is a really old video so i'm sure your form is better now as it comes natural with time. We are always students of the lifting game...very hard to be perfect.

[hash121212]

you arent going low enough therefore your back is rounding and your grip should be further apart i think,.

[erushkavich]

Yeah raze, you got it right. The entire spine needs to be extended throughout the movement. There should be NO back rounding. The bar needs to come to a DEAD stop between reps, this is not a touch & lift exercise. The bar needs to maintain leg contact. The lifter needs to chuck the gloves. You need to feel the bar to apply strength properly. Sorry, this is anything but perfect form. False advertising.

[irondoc1963]

@erushkavich Wrong

[raze1988]

I can't believe what I'm seeing and reading. Your back needs to be HOLLOW at all times! You need to pull your shoulders back at the end of going upwards, to ensure that your upper spine won't round up!

As soon as you passed the knees, the bar has to slide along your tighs.

The weight need to touch the ground after every rep (that's why it's called Deadlift = Dead weight).

I also made faults like you. Started doing it right since an old strongman showed me how.

[roebuckk]

@raze1988 thanks, all good tips most of which I also do now especially when I go heavy as I recently passed 400 lbs

[TheTertullian]

@roebuckk what are u talking about dude? why the fuck would u put something like this on youtube? saying that is a PERFECT FORM? c'mon dude... then later u are saying thx for the tips blabla. if its a perfect form nobody would give u tips....

[yogurtandjam]

@roebuckk amazing to see someone who can take criticism even if it's harsh! especially when that person is already plenty strong!

[Jaredtc6]

terrible form...strong rounded back...lets teach everyone how to throw their lower back out

[CRrider94]

@PLUOSVSEYR i think it might be kind of like on squats when you lean on your inner foot and your knees turn into each other... you can get more weight and it happens naturally when you need to get that last rep or heavy weight... and power lifters do it because you get more weight.... but it could be dangerous..

[CRrider94]

lol far from perfect, stick out your chest more to protect the lower bac, #1

[pantherpowerlifter22]

your form is not all tha "perfect" but theres nothing wrong with it!! why r u video s of your warmus? just to show formzzzzzzzzzzzzzz/

[quincy3521]

more cardio!!!

[andyns]

Lose the gloves, build up some callouses. Makes you strong physically and mentally.

[thesix107]

@andyns.  Agreed. Gloves shouldn't be used until at least 3 plates!

[murphy0847]

@thesix107 never should be used just chalk and straps if needed

[thedonige]

I agree with most of these points but you have to remember we are not all the same biomechanically, there for some people may need to turn out slightly in order for they're knees to face forwards

[tallica1988]

You don't have to do over under grip, its only for really heavy weights and if your strong enough you dont have to, ive seen people lift 600 to 800 pounds normal grip...

Nice vid man!

[SammyJ21]

Feet not forwards, legs split on the eccentric phase, back lean is too far forward, backside isn''t down far enough, grip should be an under/over and... Think that's it!

Wouldn't have written that, but when you write in the description, this is PERFECT... You're asking for trouble!!!!

[gagoogagoo]

what does feet not forwards mean

[SammyJ21]

Ermm basically, you want to have everything facing forwards, especially your feet, if not then it will put stress not only onl your shins but on the joints arouns the knee! So have your toes and heels in line with the rest of your body, not pointing in our out...

[gagoogagoo]

ok thanks

[gagoogagoo]

wait, how about those oly lifters who i see have their feet pointing outwards?

[mac2k2020]

because that's the proper way to lift :)

[SammyJ21]

You can lift heavier but it's ridiculous, it puts so much stress on your ligaments.. Look, I am a Personal Trainer and have have experience of accidents and plenty of good results within the trade! So please, don't have your feet pointing out!

[mac2k2020]

that is some advice ..LOL

[bargainknowledge]

hey Roe should you push your shoulderblades together at the top and pause? That is what I do and it gives me an extra burn but is it proper?

[roebuckk]

strickly speaking it is not proper to squeeze shoulder at the top of the lift. what I do is a set of shoulder shrugs after my deadlift workout and that really hits the traps!

[guitarNlongboards]

very nice. Helped me alot.

[jcearnal]

His form is spot on you worthless keyboard warriors. I'm pretty sure half the people on here are just trolling and wouldn't know the first thing about lifting anything other than a big mac.

[marxistsoldier]

tbf his form isn't perfect, his upper back is slightly rounded

[roebuckk]

it is okay to round your upper back slightly and at heavy weight you are forced to

[jcearnal]

agreed

[ZorflexOL]

upper back can round, not a big deal. you should be deadlifting more than you can shrug anyways

[bargainknowledge]

hahahaha gave ya a thumbs up

[802maximus]

@jcearnal said the troll

[ph34rsh4ck]

this is obviously not an expert demonstration, a of all your shoulders should never be in front of the bar they need to stay behind the bar...

[roebuckk]

with shoulders this big they have to extend over the bar ! LOL But seriously the scapula (shoulder blades) is what should be plum with the bar according to Ripetoe not the shoulders ...but nice try dude!

[marxistsoldier]

shoulders should be over the bar

[blackhawk777]

are you suppose to go down using your lower back?

[BradHolmie]

Butt needs to come down a little bit more but good job

[j3wl3acca]

wait so whats ur max?

[roebuckk]

well I've a vid of me doing 405 lbs

[paulio2293]

sure

[ozstrongman]

hardcore music for a soft-medium care workout just my opinion. load some more on the bar, get angry and rip up some big weights dude.

[roebuckk]

this was mostly a demonstration of proper deadlift form for a set of 10 reps. don't worry I am now doing 5x5 deadlift workouts with 320 lbs

[krisronold]

Just because you do it slow and not by extending your hip first, doesn't mean it's perfect form. It's far from it.

[johnny450gf]

looks good lets see your form at 180kg

[dssd05]

youre not supposed to go down slow on a dead lift

your training muscles you dont wanna train

[roebuckk]

but I want to train all my muscles

[johncr1982]

nice form buutttt you didnt go lower wiht your legs but otherwise good job bro

[ninerscali]

GLOVES?????

[tuchitochi]

for guys with weak back, start off with 5-6 reps. 8 will start straining your back and when you get to the really heavy weights, do max. i got a weak back and 5 is perfect.

[roebuckk]

5x5 workouts are excellent to train the back

[liquidribs]

YOU are stronger than my uncle by 5x lolol

[roebuckk]

ur uncle isn't arnold is it?

[Clintsmith721]

do you have military expierience? because the only people around your age that lift to my knowledge are really just ex marines and shit

[roebuckk]

no military background but I did wrestle in high school and college which gave me my first weight training experience and determination. now I am just an old fart trying to stay strong to slow the aging process a bit.

[Clintsmith721]

oh cool i wrestle too what weight class did you mainly wrestle, and yeah keep it up dont let age slow ya down even though im sure it does

[roebuckk]

if you can believe it in high school I started at 95 lb in 10th then 103 in 11th and finally 112 lbs as a senior. my 1st year of jr college I wrestled 126 lbs and then when I started weight training seriously I jumped up to 142 my final year. I loved wrestling; the training and learning moves more than the matches but overall I did pretty well (won about twice as much as I lost). Dan Gable once said and I agree "once you've wrestled, everything else in lift is easy" good luck with your workouts.

[Clintsmith721]

i can believe it the way my wrestling coach is im surprised im not anorexic im on my starting year as a sophomore too and im doing 135 and sometimes wrestle up to 150-160 since i have what my coach calls "the strength of a mule" but yeah i love learning moves my personal favorite is the mouse trap. and thanks

[stevenjp]

Real men play rugby ;)

Im glad to see Im not the only guy planning for "gracefull aging" here! lol. Now i have a while to go before I earn my "old man" card... but Im on my way at 31.

[harts111]

former Marines. no such thing as an ex marine. hate to be a dick, but it kinda matters.

[Clintsmith721]

oh...didnt know that, but my uncle calls himself and ex marine not a former marine so i wasnt sure but okay

[sanoe2lake]

that it does

[donkeydickkk]

nice job old man :)

[getandre71]

good to see good form. Now try snatch's!

[roebuckk]

i've done power cleans but not snatchs which is fine with me since im more interested in strength than power

[ProudestMonkey46]

Hey Scondore when I was 14 and 145lbs I could deadlift 350 also and I could rep 325 8 times, if u think ur amazingly strong b/c ur a teen bodybuilder, ur not.

[kodijoz01]

bullshit

[kodijoz01]

bullshit about proudest monkey you couldn't do that much when you were only 145

[tdmonster]

whats the song in the video?

btw nice form.

[roebuckk]

step up by drowning pool

[ottorotciv]

Nice "expert" demonstration, lol. Good form is easy with such light weight.

[roebuckk]

yes good form is important at any weight but must be perfected first at lower weight before progressing to the big lifts where poor form could cost you big time with a back injury

[digitaldude6745]

when doing these how far apart should your feet and hands be? Should you feel it in your lower back or more in your hamstrings and glutes? thanks.

[roebuckk]

your feet should be about shoulder width with the toes pointing slightly out. the hands should grasp the bar just outside your thighs. You will mostly feel it in your lower back which is usually weaker than the hams and glutes. At heavier weight you will feel it in your traps and forearms as well.

[digitaldude6745]

ok thanks, I did these today with light (150lb) weight just to work on form, and I was gripping the bar the wrong way. I didn't know my hands should be outside of my thighs. Thanks a lot!

[roebuckk]

it is a good idea to stick to light weight until your form is perfected ...good luck with it

[recepaga]

SodeeSodee ..... 200 lbs = 90.718 kg .

[func17]

405x5 @ 198lbs

[roebuckk]

That's not bad but you will have to show me or I'll have to think you are just blowing smoke

[jmm121884]

not impressive. Why are you telling your numbers anyway, this is a video about this dude and showing us his tech.

[SodeeSodee]

Why you lift 200 pounds ( 90kg? ) You could easily use more weight. I dont see no use for 200 pounds :/

[roebuckk]

Yeah, I can easily lift more but I start here to warm up for the heavy deadlifting sets where I will hit 385 lbs at the peak of my pyramid workout.

[0000pete]

I'm 16, I weight 175, and I dead lift 305 5 times

[scondore]

I'm 16, 150lbs and deadlift 315x5 and 350x1, But I dont go bragging about it, just put a video up.

[jmm121884]

you are 34

[scondore]

34???? no.. pretty positive I am 16.

[jmm121884]

did we ask for your numbers?

[leOstufforsomething]

im a 129 lbs and i can DL 250 5 times and stuff

[h4rdg41n3r]

Nice view from the gym window, I'd like to have that too :). And good deadlift videos, I did my first deadlifts just a few hours ago ;)

[ekstreem]

I'm 157lbs and can DL 195lbs 6 times. Next time I'll do 200lbs 6 times.

[roebuckk]

Keep uping the weight every couple of workouts and before you know it will be doing very heavy DL and start adding muscle mass to your back and legs. I did a progression like this for the past year and added more than 100 lbs to my DL and gained about 20 lbs of body weight. Good luck with the progression.

[SouthFloridaFusion]

Good technique for an intermediate.

[bush94]

i can do 500 pds 5 times

[roebuckk]

okay...so you can only DL your body weight 5 times? Not sure I would brag about that.

[jmm121884]

LOL 5x 100% your body weight?

[RightWingCon81]

I have a problem with deadlift, I use toop have awesome form like 4 years ago, had a great body. I gained weight stopped working out, now i've lost most of it but my form in the DL is off. I think I tore my ab muscle the other day. How do i use my legs more? It's like my back takes over. Am I holding it too far from my legs?

[rzb113]

Keep the hips a little lower and work on driving through the heels.

[roebuckk]

Thanks, I definitely do that at heavier weight in which I reset in between reps.
