Why You Should Drop A Deadlift
Loading...
Uploaded by ACAthleticTraining on Dec 1, 2011
This video is for the person who asked the question (via YouTube comment at the bottom of a recent video) why I drop my deadlifts after getting them to the top. I appreciate your questions, and encourage everyone to ask away!! For things like this I shall video respond. Hopefully it helps you out.
Best thing I can say in response to your trainer/coach telling you to set the weight down lightly or "controlled" is to have that person watch this video and simply ask your coach's opinion on the subject matter. Remember, YOU ARE PAYING that person to teach you and while we all do it differently and have things we believe in that may contradict what another good coach may say, YOU ARE PAYING so you have the right to tell your coach how you wish to do an exercise if this way makes more sense to you.
Watch what I do with the broomstick and how I'm trying to demonstrate what happens to the load in the lower back on those last two inches on the way down. That's why I drop the deadlift.
Cheers!

What about deadlifting with a diamond bar? Would this still apply?
shadowgamer7 3 months ago
@shadowgamer7 Good question. I think the same rules would apply where the last two inches of the movement, regardless of whether you're using a trap bar or a regular barbell would be so heavily low back related that the reward outweighs the risk. That said, the trap bar deadlift (or diamond bar as you call it) is probably the one time when it's safe to put the bar down softer. The trap bar allows a more upright posture which loads the upper quads more instead of the low back.

@shadowgamer7 Try getting yourself video'd when deadlifting and really watch what's happening to your spine on those last two inches before it hits the ground. Are you hips still hinging back or it the load shifting into the upper quads and lower back. If you have excellent mobility and flexibility it may be that you can hip hinge the entire down of the movement. Most of my clients and most people I know do not have that mobility.
