 Hey everybody today, I want to talk about locking your knees out when you're deadlifting So what this looks like when you initiate you push a little too far like this You'll see your butt comes up your knees go way back and I'm losing my leverage here What I'd instead like is my knees to stay kind of soft my shins to stay vertical up and down And I'm just bringing my butt forward then to stand up If this is happening It's probably because somebody's taken a cue that I've given and misinterpreted it or or over interpreted it So in general all I'm doing to fix this is one I'm taking the blame because it's my fault I didn't give you the right cue To extreme ownership. I just read that book that plays in right? Number two what I'm saying is I don't want your knees to stay totally locked out I just want them to stay kind of soft And then bam and then you just watch a deadlift film yourself look from the side It's easiest to see from the side and just say okay rep One two weren't that good three four five six seven eight was pretty good And then nine and ten I started to lose it again So next time you do that exercise you can relate what you're seeing to what you're feeling and Find out what it feels like to have those soft knees and what it feels like to Maintain that position
