Cailer, clearly you're doing something right because you can definitely pull some good pounds off the floor. However, I think an easy way to stop loosing tightness through the lockout would be to keep your pre, and post workout shake, plus a gallon of ice water in one ice cold container. Additionally, I think adding Indestructible rubber infused plastic, Extra storage cups, and a Key Chain Holder w/carabiner to this container would really benefit your workouts. Honestly though I'm very sorry I'm not sure where to get one of these things.
You're my biggest inspiration Cailer! Going through your videos to brush up on my form and basics before I attempt to pull heavier, I can't give you enough credit for wanting to get out there and lift my best even though I'm not a giant. Cheers!
For some months I often see you on instagram with your phenomenal deadlifts, but I did not imagine you were so good either! Usually the two things do not go hand in hand. Congratulations, and now you have a new member;)
Great vid Cailer! Very informative. Us tall dudes need to use that leverage we got. I'm 6'6 247lbs. Trained deadlift for like 4 years straight and all through that time form was garbage. Learnt it well from some powerlifters and your word were pretty much the exact same as what I was taught
Literally i've seen houndreds of tutorials!! I swear that's the only one that fucking worked and made me deadlift without a rounded back...thanks a lot brother!!
I find the was the most succinct deadlift tutorial I've seen to date. Find it interesting you, Duffin, and Coan pretty much coach with the same few cues. Also I totally agree with the most common issue being people having their stance too wide
this was a all time great upload. Cailer should the does and don'ts of deadlifting. many times we just jump into lifts without focusing on the bad habits that will impede out progression.
Great video I shall be applying this knowledge,I've been deadlifting a few years now and it nice to go back to basics especially from somone who deads like you,nice oe :)
This is brilliant, I hope you make a video on hook grip at some point soon as many people like myself have started trying to use it and aren't confident on how we should be setting it up
Cailer, yours is an excellent primer on conventional deadlifting. Before the sumo style became commonplace, we used to have these incredible 3-lift meets where we'd see the stocky shorter guys get off to big leads in the bench press (it was the first lift performed originally), then maybe add to their leads in the squat . . . then the lankier dudes would come roaring back to try to catch up and win with their bigger traditional deadlifts. If you watch old meets, you'd see this with lifters like Vince Anello, Lamar Gant, Jon Kuc and many others. It made for very great comps for viewers. Alas, the sumo style "escaped" in a matter of speaking so we ended up with sort of two versions of hip and leg strength (squat and sumo dl) and it sort of did away with the classic confrontations. Now, the stocky, long-torso'd guys could do both lifts using more legs, less back. It changed powerlifting, not for the better either. One last thing I find interesting about your deadlift, in particular, is you don't have the typically very short back length relative to your overall height that many of the great traditional deadlifters of the past had. Anello might be the best example of this with what looked like about 4" between his sternum and navel. Again, great instructional video! Brad
Brad Reid oh no, I actually have a very short torso! And funny you say that about meets. All through high school i was always very behind after squat and bench. Then I would win the meet by like 50lbs because i could deadlift so much more than everyone lol
Ah! Well that helps explain your exceptional deadlifting leverage. It just doesn't "show up" as much on you in your videos and this could be owing to you having a relatively wide shoulder carriage. If you look at many of the great Oriental Olympic lifters, others too of course (the great Greek lifter, Pyrros Dimas comes to mind), what you will notice is they often have the exact opposite physical characteristics: long torsos/short legs. For the sorts of sub-maximal pulls they do in snatches and cleans, the relatively longer back levers allow them to accelerate the bar very fast. But, they are almost always sub-par conventional stance deadlifters. Thanks for the reply! Brad
Sumo is a form of squat... and like he just said, conventional is the best measure of overall strength and it is what most good pullers do most of the time even if they pull sumo in meets that allow sumo...
this video is gonna make my deadlift better, I have definitely been too narrow , because im small, but less than hip width or just inside. hmmm! Thank you!!
Nice video. I didn't think I was going to learn anything new, but I've been looking up to help prevent the upper back from rounding (overcompensating I guess). I'm going to try it this way next week.
I like how you describe in it the beginning, how Conventional is the strength base and sumo is the sports skill of powerlifting. It's a really easy way to think about it and helps to program for someone trying to compete. 👍
Please make videos about your technique for squat and bench. Even though they are not world records but i think you know the technique better than or equal to most elites
Just wanted to say thank you. I just started lifting about 7 months ago and hired an awesome trainer at my local gym. The only downside of having a trainer with you for every workout 4 days a week for 6 months is that you start to count on them to never let you make a mistake. To constantly correct you. Now that i'm working out alone i dont have that crutch. Your videos are a huge help.
great video! I'm 6ft 6 so always assumed I'd need to set my hips as low as possible and stand a bit wider to help get lower to straighten the back but my hips aren't that wide. I'll be watching this video on the next deadlift session! cheers dude :)
Some coaches say that conventional deadlifts are used to build strength, and thst sumo should be trained by powerlifters as part of a sport skill like any other sport.
Just deadlift 373 kg...that should do it. Yes, he has long arms an it's very obvious he has all the correct leverages for the king of strength lifts, the mighty deadlift. Dude certainly has wide shoulders and long arms, but I sure as hell wouldn't guess he dedlifts 373 kg conventional. What is he...barely 100 kg? Wha the hell is he "eating"? And, with that kind of built he should've become MMA fighter, for that is the alpha male sport number 1 and much more money and fame in that game. Mentally, not everyone has what it takes to become a powerlifter....much less MMA fighter. This dudes reach and ape index gotta be out of charts, Jon Jones territory.
Longer arms=better deadlift, longer arms=weaker bench/OHP. It's all a trade off. It's best to just work with the body you have and avoid making excuses.
the best cue i found for myself when convtional deadlifting is: your hip is in the right postion if you feel a bit of tention in your hamstrings and glutes.
i would suggest allan thral's video as well for the deadlift! it's really help full, especially where he talks about 5 steps. i tried it and my form is very nice now!
I am just an amateur, but I prefer sumo due to my low back !!! However thanks for the info, I follow you on instagram, you are a beast !!! Keep breaking word records !!!!
I have a question that I am hoping you can answer. How would you recommend on incorporating hook grip into my deadlift routine? My main grip is a mixed grip but I do use double overhand for my warm up sets. My goal is to pull the same weight that I usually pull but with a hook grip instead. Should I cut out mix grip out completely and start fresh by using a hook grip? Any feedback would be great.
Cailer, my question is with your initial movement upward. Everything tight, no slack anywhere, got it. But do you explode up or do you gently increase strength over a second or so?
Can you make a video on how to sumo? Answer some questions, "How wide should you go?" And "How far should you point your feet out?". Also if going too wide or pointing your feet too outwards is detrimental for the lifter in a way of injuring yourself.
Thanks for the tips man i just pulled 900
Same. It's insane. IPF waiting for me.
Update: 3 red lights because I got tips from Cailer. Ffs...
Haha you watch OSN too
900 grams*

James Gallagher Cooler
LMFAO this is epic
James Gallagher I laughed too hard at this
dbzrules95 it still makes me happy haha.
It's the world's only cooler within a cooler within another cooler plus one more giant cooler with all your drinks.
I noticed the change of hat position, glasses off, at the begining. I appreciate the details.
Stratovarius Jake it was supposed to look like I was a different person each question lol.
Best deadlifter of all time in my eyes
Love the ending. Video was very helpful thanks
Dude you just increased my deadlift by 75 lbs from fixing my technique! Thank you so much for the free information!
You're my biggest inspiration Cailer! Going through your videos to brush up on my form and basics before I attempt to pull heavier, I can't give you enough credit for wanting to get out there and lift my best even though I'm not a giant. Cheers!
You are the goat! I miss your videos. I still come back to these to remind myself technique cues
Great stuff!! Your a huge motivation to myself, and many others using your videos and such to help myself out. Thank you!!
For some months I often see you on instagram with your phenomenal deadlifts, but I did not imagine you were so good either! Usually the two things do not go hand in hand.
Congratulations, and now you have a new member;)
That bit of advice about aiming the elbows back was really needed thanks
Best video on executing the conventional Deadlift.
awesome job best deadlift tutorial video i have seen
Great vid Cailer! Very informative. Us tall dudes need to use that leverage we got. I'm 6'6 247lbs.

Literally i've seen houndreds of tutorials!! I swear that's the only one that fucking worked and made me deadlift without a rounded back...thanks a lot brother!!
Props & thanks Dr. DL! Also visualize pushing your legs through the floor (a la leg press) is another useful que 👍
I've been powerlifting for 3 years and never got to pointing my toes out more...Now my Deadlift feels better than ever!
surprisingly good quality video! great work
I find the was the most succinct deadlift tutorial I've seen to date. Find it interesting you, Duffin, and Coan pretty much coach with the same few cues. Also I totally agree with the most common issue being people having their stance too wide
Informative video man. Can you do a video on hook grip and benching with long limbs?
this was a all time great upload. Cailer should the does and don'ts of deadlifting. many times we just jump into lifts without focusing on the bad habits that will impede out progression.
I'm here bc you told me to in your sumo video lol!!!!! Thanks Dr. Deadlift!!!! Great video
Great video I shall be applying this knowledge,I've been deadlifting a few years now and it nice to go back to basics especially from somone who deads like you,nice oe :)
Great coach, keep it going Cailer
Watching this video and studying. I seem to be doing alot of things wrong so your the man and I gotta be better with my technique.
can you make a video about you periodization and volume ? thanks, good stuff, Dr. Deadlift !
CC Strength yess that's needed
That would be great
This really helped me today!! 😁
This is brilliant, I hope you make a video on hook grip at some point soon as many people like myself have started trying to use it and aren't confident on how we should be setting it up

really love your work ..... nice job man
awesome tip's especially the one on hip level. Brutal dead lift at the end.

That's one strong dude! Great information too - simple enough for us non-phds...
If you made a Deadlift program I'd throw my money at you, DO IT
Ricardo Cavaleiro he did
Sounds like you just want to throw your money at him
Work in progress. Great job
Thank you so simple and it helps a lot

Using eccentric to check on hip height is a very useful approach.
thanksfor making videos kep them coming! cheers

Thank you 😊😊! Much appreciated 😋
Thank you so much! The video is Very useful!!
Awesome video
Perfectly logical explanation as to why we should listen to you haha
Thanks for this great video 👍👌😊
Great tips.
nice vid, great tips

Good visual tips
2k subs bro you'll be hitting 20k soon real quick
Awesum video man...stay honest ! U rock.
holy smokes, just slightly adjusting my feet, tremendous difference. Props!
Yes!!!! MORE!!!
Great video
Great video I definitely subscribe
Can you make a video on how to get such long arms? 😂
Boris Esquilo weighted stretches
Lol i was thinking that. Great video i liked it but at the end you can see he is built to deadlift.
Just deadlift 373 kg...that should do it. Yes, he has long arms an it's very obvious he has all the correct leverages for the king of strength lifts, the mighty deadlift.

Pull the same weight as he does and I'm pretty sure your arms will hang all the way to the floor.
Useful!! Thanks!
Finally made a channel

i would suggest allan thral's video as well for the deadlift! it's really help full, especially where he talks about 5 steps. i tried it and my form is very nice now!
hilton hacks yes true. Alan is incredible
hilton hacks 900 deadlifter vs 600 deadlifter 🤔
Nice job bro!
Thanks a lot man
Yup... subscribing now
Great video thank you. You have a new sub.
Hey Dr, i was here before 1K Subs :)
"This is why right here..." BAM! That's how you prove expertise man!! :) :)
Cailer...What is your opinion on rack pulls above the knee for improving your deadlift and even just general back development? Thanks
Eating food really helps to improve your deadlift. Might want to give that a try.
@@strengthcoachlondon why dont u actually give him good advice instead of being passive aggressive
@@Xilladan093 it’s true tho, whenever I’m in a surplus it explodes. Best deadlift accessories are probably block pulls/rack pulls, deficit dead’s, woolam rows, pull ups, rdl’s, banded speed pulls
Oh and linear periodization, most will respond well to it
honestly my new favourite powerlifter :D
Great instructional!
With your double overhand grip, are you doing a thumb hook? or just grabbing the bar with your finger tips?
Cheers.
Whaaaat I didn't know Cailer was making videos!
Savage. The clip at the end XD
Accessories video please awesome stuff
I am just an amateur, but I prefer sumo due to my low back !!! However thanks for the info, I follow you on instagram, you are a beast !!! Keep breaking word records !!!!
I can`t wait to see what he pulls once he bulks to 420.
jprp999 420 ......shit I'd hate to see what he could do at 240 or 260
I picked that number because the top strongman guys with the big deadlifts are all that or above at the moment.
Like a ton lol
Living legend
BEAST
8:00 i heard Rubish give this advice too. It definitely helped me out.
Do you squeeze your shoulder blades while pulling? I’m always confused as what to do with my shoulders
thanks i increased my deadlift pr to 1000 lbs.
Thanks sir
Looks like hes wearing football shoulder and thigh pads under there.
I have a question that I am hoping you can answer. How would you recommend on incorporating hook grip into my deadlift routine? My main grip is a mixed grip but I do use double overhand for my warm up sets. My goal is to pull the same weight that I usually pull but with a hook grip instead. Should I cut out mix grip out completely and start fresh by using a hook grip? Any feedback would be great.
Hip thrusters really help the lockout strength
Cailer, my question is with your initial movement upward. Everything tight, no slack anywhere, got it. But do you explode up or do you gently increase strength over a second or so?
Are you using a hook grip when doing conventional with heavy weights? Or just a regular double overhand?
Cheers!
nice way to prove your point at the end lol
Hey Cailer. What’s your shoulder routine?
Doc I need help, the gym I'm on uses hex plates so aside from moving to another gym what other tip(s) can you give me?
Make a video about your throught's on using a belt. i never use a belt do belt's help you pull more weight?
Do we use qiads to get up from the floor or only hams and glute
Are you going to create a degree in deadlift ???
Can you make a video on how to sumo? Answer some questions, "How wide should you go?" And "How far should you point your feet out?". Also if going too wide or pointing your feet too outwards is detrimental for the lifter in a way of injuring yourself.
Hey Cailer, what you think about Pete Rubish - 920lbs conventional deadlift?
The best in the world
Does your stance width ever change when you approach the bar I. that manner?
How does your week split looks like? When do you squat, when you deadlift all the time? :D
