I'm not a huge fan of the deficit. I'd like to see something more competition style, but That being said my friend your form is really really solid you kind of have a build to pull big weights He gets into a really good position Shin's fairly vertical, which isn't necessarily good nor bad but because of his length in his arms and his Mobility plus his torso is quite small Maybe not small, but short he can get his hips in a very low position Some tension in the hamstrings and glutes and still pull to be honest If you can get in that same position if not even a better position and still have tension off in your hamstrings off the floor Your forms really really good, man What I do see with some people that are less experienced is a deficit can help them lift more weight And you guys are saying Mike, but that's a under loud. It's further range of motion. It's way more difficult This is all true, but often for the the newbie Pulling off a deficit Creates a false sense of tightness and so then when they're going off the ground they can't handle the same amount of Loads it forces you your midsection your hamstrings and glutes to get tight So I'd like to see it off the ground Another really good pole this thing goes a little weird. I think we have another one coming up You know if you want to lift with straps by all means I'm a big fan of straps myself But for these videos grip would help because sometimes those can be issues right off the bat I think we can get our lats a little bit tighter and watch that bend in the elbow So I think about flexing my tricep on the pole that way. I just don't have any Chance of my bicep getting involved at all Number two I'm not a huge fan of the touch-and-go and I know some big lifters have gotten away with it some some very very top lifters Do it for the majority of people I say a full reset If not check out my last video that dropped two days ago You guys should be subscribed and notifications on so you don't miss a video and check out that Ed Cone style deadlifter what I learned from Ed Cone I go into detail of how I think the majority of people can lift best with kind of a slow eccentric controlled Reslets slash touch-and-go Everything looks pretty dang solid though my man What I try to do is get those elbows pointing towards your hips or behind you and the best way to do that is you will be Bending that bar around your shins So you kind of torque the bar similar that we would in a bench press Around your legs the other thing I'd say straps or no straps is I would try to get those hands in a little bit more You see a lot of space between your hands and your legs And again, some people do pull this way But to reduce range of motion and allow yourself to be a little bit more compact getting those as close as possible Now you see around your knees The weight not only gets in front of you just a hair, but then also you can see the weight a bobble on your feet Squat and the deadlift at all times We want to be pushing our foot into the ground as hard as we can and we want Three if not four if not all points of contact so many coaches say big big toe Little toe and heel in full contact But I like to think about really spreading my foot and really growing roots into the ground and planting my entire foot into the ground Obviously this will help with balance, but I think it helps recruit and balance Use of as many muscles as you can and we've got some solid deadlifts today team I'm stoked on this video this deadlift to you know so far. We're all you know four and a half five star pullers On that last rep right there. I could see your body weight flush forward just a hair From this angle the only thing I'd say is I would experiment with a more narrow stance You can see your knees try to force in because of your grip Rather than just move your stance in a little bit and get those knees right over your midfoot your back your lats You tighten it up all really well The only other thing then is that you're forcing your knees forward which even right there in the slow You can see the barbell move forward rather than I'd like to see you force your hips back and get your body weight back a little more So you can see in the slow-mo for everybody your hips will end up in the position That they want to pull in as the bars move in the ground So if your hips are too low your hips will rise first and then the bar It's not always bad there again. There are many lifters that get away with this and live just fine But to be more efficient Why not just have your hips in that position and get them falling backwards? Get your weight falling backwards more tension the hamstrings hips a hair higher And then you'll pull immediately off the ground. So a slightly narrower stance Keep that grip kind of where it is. You might be able to scoot it in as you move the stance in Hips just maybe an inch higher and start to force them backwards But overall really really really solid work team. It's like you guys have been watching my videos or something to learn is some shits Excuse me learning some stuff YouTube gets a little upset when you curse at them they demonetize for anything From this angle again, really really good pole Really solid Honestly, not much I would change I would say experiment again Everybody can get their weight falling back a little bit You can see your chest is a little bit over the bar and you can see the load the weight Being taken into your low back where you want that low back just to be a stabilizer So breathing embracing as hard as you can and get your weight falling back So we can really hinge off those hamstrings the other thing I would say is just experiment with dropping that chin a little bit It's not gonna you know your neck's not gonna explode You're not gonna break your back by hyper extending a little bit I do believe most optimal most of the time is a neutral spine Which means our neck our back lower back all that is going to be in a fairly straight line a little bit of curvature Obviously is natural in the back and even in the neck our neck is made to move But under load sometimes it can strain a little bit But the main thing is that often I find your hips or even your knees Will move a little bit differently based on where your head position is so you my friend I would try dropping your chin tucking it in a little bit and dropping your eyes Probably about 10 15 feet in front of you on the ground choose a spot drop that chin drop those eyes get those weight falling back And everything else is really really solid team. It's exciting to see this stuff. I love seeing people Not only progress in strength, which is obviously everyone's goal. They want to look better They want to lift more weight But to see everybody progressing and technique because then I know you guys will be able to do it for the long term really gets strong We got some sumo action. This is a deadlift party I can already tell this guy's forms locked in dude. What are we talking about here, man? Another five-star pole Do we have another five-star pole? I would actually say the opposite for the neck here I probably try to get those eyes and chin up just a little bit your torso is fairly vertical So looking up on the horizon straight ahead would probably be I do really well for you my friend the hook grip I'm digging it. Your lats look like they get nice and tight getting those elbows back Pointing backwards as much as you can squeeze your shoulder. You can probably do that a little better You're very strong and you get very upright. So you might just forget about your lats So really squeeze those shoulders down get your shoulders as far away from your ears as you can And I think about again bending that barbell around my legs and in this case in between your legs Bending trying to snap it like you'd snap a stick and getting your elbows pointed backwards behind you The other thing I'd say is try to widen your stance I won't necessarily be better or worse But I do think you have the mobility and how you're built that you could widen your stance and maybe reduce some of that range of motion And still be just as strong Man five-star deadlifts Maybe we'll even just title that this this video because everything's looking so clean and some of your guys's gyms looks sick I wish some of these facilities are More and more popular which more people hurt them because this facility looks dope as well I know it's a little bit of routine to get on your heels and kind of force yourself back But again, I'd like to see full contact with the foot Obviously the videos cut off a little bit, but everything else looks really solid So I'd like I do like routine and I like someone doing the same thing over and over every rep every set every day To build the routine and to build the continuity of your lifts But I would prefer to have that foot really driven down because what you can see is your toes rise up a little bit There on the initial pole if it's just during the routine or the setup Maybe not as big of a deal, but if it's during the pole, I do think you're losing some balance You're losing some strength. So dig those toes into the ground flatten that foot out and really drive My man here it does look a little heavy. I think this is a full speed So it's hard to save that 70 touch and go typically as I recommended before I like the ed cone style or a reset because touch and go Can mess up Or take advantage of that balance you tend to be able to do more reps with a higher percentage or a higher intensity You're really hinging on your low back. We've talked about this a lot. So we need to figure out is probably a higher hip position The ed cone style of deadlift will find you that proper position. Try loosening your belt a little bit You'll have to lighten the weight But you're gonna have to learn how to breathe and brace a little bit harder because you're really hinging on your Erector's which is your low back Which is where that belt is placed rather than hinging on our hips and our glutes And the sumo, you know, I've talked about it a long time ago But there's kind of two ways to pull depending on how you're built There's kind of a higher hip and a lower hip position if you have the mobility the arm length and a shorter torso You can literally almost squat the weight up as in our first gentleman going back This gentleman somewhere in between and the gentleman in between Is it more of a higher hip you have to kind of hinge actually this form is really solid I like that right there. I would still call this a higher hip Based on what I'm saying is if you have a short torso You can get your knees out and you'll be so upright All you have to do is flex your quads and your upper body will literally almost be an elevator or a piston going up and down a Higher hip deadlift Which will actually end up looking more like a conventional just with a wider stance Is you're still hinging on your hips and your torso is gonna have to change angles if that makes sense Again, the lower hip position is very rare where someone has to be built the right way the right mobility And the right strength in their quads to be very upright and their torso position almost doesn't change at all You literally just they just lock out their quads and then a little bit of glute Hip extension to finish the lift where the majority of us will end up pulling like that And honestly, I wouldn't fix that much my man It looks really really really solid. It's just about programming from there on staying consistent Focusing in on that technique over and over and then getting your nutrition and sleep I can't mention how much nutrition sleep will play a role and how you guys look How you feel and how you lift so you can see here talking about this the sumo higher hip This is a great hip hinge. He's hinging on his hips not as low back You can see him brace a little back and breathe He has a little bit longer of a torso even those arms make up for a little bit But that's why his hips are so high when you pull if you wanted to you know The typical conventional where everyone's chest is way up and people say chest up this Often I find that's a bad cue because the majority of us aren't built to pull Perfectly and so our hips will have to be higher. We do overall want our hips lower than our shoulders From the starting position and throughout Just because that'll give us the best leverage to get the weight moving and to get otherwise It's just a stiff leg and it may be too much load into our low back and hamstrings We do want to get some quad involvement, but if your hips are too low You'll be too far behind the bar for the majority of people no tension in the hamstrings or glutes overall another four and a half Five-star deadlift It looks really really really good the little torque in the shoulders is something just Kind of nitpicking, but I do think you can see him do it right there on that rep a little bit But I think you do a little bit more get those shoulders away from your ears crank that crank that soldier boy around your knees I do appreciate you guys Give this thing a thumbs up share it out with your friends trying to help as many as you can I appreciate all the support and positivity my friends have a good day a good week a good year Salom Mike. I'm out here
