Deadlift Technique for MMA Fighters - 170kg

This is doing some technique work with 170 kg. Note how I keep my back strait and my hips down but not too low. I could use a bit more of a glute contraction/posterior pelvic tilt at the top but overall it's pretty good.

"Yea bitch thats the whole fuckin set. You wanna do some???"

Olympic lifters usually perform deadlifts in a "clean deadlift" syle which involves a lower hip starting position, more vertical toros and shoulders directly over (instead of slight infront like a PL'er). This is because the first pull (deadlift) of the clean is only done to get the bar in an optimal jumping position, whereas a PL'er wants to lift max weight to lockout and doesn't care about jumping position. This athlete appears to be doing a conventional deadlift to me.

cant really understand how thats a different deadlift from the regular one, looks similar to oly deadlift

@84jacobo also very little about muscle anatomy

[america101010]

@TheJohnnydrago shut up. You are talking shit. Not only it is stupid, but its dangerous and counter-productive too. And it does nothing in terms of max power and speed development. In fact, its plain simple. YOU GO FUCKIN KILL YOURSELF

[obezana]

@84jacobo latissimus dorsi? those are ur lats fuckhead..not lower back, not really the targer of deadlifts. lmfao.

[obezana]

@TheJohnnydrago dumbass.

Also, if you want max power and speed development, drop the bar once you get to your knees. You're only exposing yourself to injury by trying to control the negative.

[84jacobo]

thats not a straigth deadlift, you are using your hamstrings when deadlifts is suppost to hit your lower back as your main muscle the latissimus dorsi.

yeah what he said is true it puts less stress on lower back , for an obvious reason , the closer it is to your body the less angular force is placed on the spine , same thing on the way up .
