I'm still working on it, The platforms at my gym that I prefer are pretty bowed. I find good spots but after the first rep I feel like the bar isn't where I prefer.
The original led me to powerlifting via the course of events which follow: interest in how to deadlift correctly --> Original video -> Austin Baraki feedback video -> starting strength content -> powerlifting programming exploration-> barbell medicine podcasts and youtubes -> barbell medicine group programming -> USAPL competition -> writing my own programming -> 5 comps down and still getting stronger and better at powerlifting in my late 40s. I kid you not that the original video led me down the path to where I am today. Thank you, Alan.
Man, this is some really motivating stuff. I'm in my mid 20s, but I can only hope that I'll have the same motivation as you have when I'll be in my 40s, cheers!
This method is incredible! Ever since I stopped moving the barbell, I can keep adding more and more plates onto the bar and hit multiple new PRs in a single day! Not moving the barbell is absolutely the best way to deadlift.
I have a bad habit of wanting to roll it into myself, and I have noticed my lifts feeling better when leave it still but I have to consciously think to NOT MOVE THE BARBELL😂
I love how humble Alan is. I can’t imagine someone watching one of his videos, and not be encouraged and confident in trying to lift. Very inspiring good sir 🫡
DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL! love it. I've been deadlifting the same exact way since learning it from the previous video. I finally got to 1x bodyweight edit: so an interesting thing about the heavy in hand cue is that if you do it on light weight say less than 50% 1rm then this cue will actually levitate the bar nd plates by an inch. I get that when I warm up
As always, a great deadlift tutorial. I can vouch for the deadlift’s healing powers. After taking it up again a couple years ago, routine back and knee problems became only occasional annoyances. Deads and squats have been key to improving my joint health, despite the naysayers warnings.
I was focusing on keeping my back too strait throughout the whole lift for the longest time until I found out it was hindering my movement. Great tips. Thank you for the video.
It was this video 5 years ago that made me love deadlifting, you were the first guy who correctly taught me all the basics for all major lifts 🙏💪🏼🤟🏽 keep doing what you do Alan!
I started the gym maybe 3 months ago, the days I dead lift have become my favorite days, its my favorite exercise by far, there is something about lifting that weight staring at yourself in the mirror and seeing your life flash before you eyes that feels so good!
Hey Alan, I just hit my first 400lbs deadlift yesterday - I just had to say thanks, because I definitely wouldn't still be hitting the gym all the time if not for you. I know it's not world record weight or anything but a couple years ago I would never have believed I could lift so much weight, and bingeing all of your videos since then has been a huge factor in keeping me going Much love, will continue to not move the barbell (except up and down)
I’ve recently naturally discovered “feeling heavier in your hands”. Without this, I tend to get erector muscle strain: sudden increase in load results in abrupt stretch and strain in weakest point for me - lower back. But if I load slowly and progressively it is much safer for me.
I'm a 37 year old Dad with two small kids who just started lifting. I'm not fat, I'm actually really skinny, but I want to be able to coach my kids in sports and just be an active Dad. I always wanted to DL but never knew how to do it. I know it's not much, but after watching this video, I easily dl'd 150 lbs where I was previously struggling a bit. This video was INSANELY helpful. Thank you so much for this.
What I like about these is it gives me a lot of queues to help teach others outside of what I think is useful. Your experience as a gym owner and going to events\conferences is now being handed down to many others and in turn passed on. This is great for keeping us all safe in our quest for greater "physical independence". Thank you Alan!
I had you review my form a couple of years ago before my first power lifting meet. You told me the toes pointed out tip and it’s been a game changer. Thanks, Alan for all the knowledge and support over the years!
Awesome work Alan. I actually hurt my lower back doing deadlifts few months ago and watched one of your videos where you had said don’t panic which was great advice. Have not deadlifted since but after watching this I might go back and try again. I watched one of old videos and I noticed my knees were way ahead of my arms when bending over which I think loaded my back too much. I also never took slack out of the bar. Your videos are so helpful thank you!
Hey Alan! Looks like you lost some "weight" there!! I am proud to be ONE of those "MILLIONS of lifters" that you coached on the DL - that 1 simple cue you gave me to "drag the bar up the shins" made ALL the difference, and that's something I have carried with me over a year later! How's your C & J and snatch coming? I am headed for a Senior Masters Weightlifting medal in the next year and am really enjoying the journey! Congrats on the new Family "addition" and I hope to see the "new and improved" Untamed Strength one day in the future! A bit of "RIP" channeling was a nice touch Buddy!
That cue to have the front of your knees flush with the front of your arms helped me immensely. I had been putting my knees in between my arms, but right in the middle of my arm crease. Now I'm making gains again because my hips aren't too high and everything just feels better.
Physical independence. Alan thrall coming through with the wisdom. I've never thought about it that way but being physically independent is one of the main reasons I train.
This is amazing! Deadlifts are something I look forward to training back up to (100 kg - am fine with up to 60 kg but am trying to really NAIL the form). Great video - I don't think it is possible to get enough of the "basics" 😌 Also I WILL NOT MOVE THE BARBELL!!!!
I appreciate the guidance about keeping your back rigid. The deadlift is the most mentally/emotionally challenging lift for me because I worry about back injury if my form isn't absolutely perfect. Knowing it is okay to have slight curvature while remaining rigid will help me get past this worry and add pounds to the bar.
I learned how to Deadlift using yours/Austin Baraki's method of set-up. Its what i reference to anyone who asks me how to deadlift. Thank you for years of education. Completely changed my life. Training UNTAMED
Great video as always. Thanks for putting emphasis on not focusing to much on the having your back as flat as a plank. This is very important since so many CZcamsrs preach the opposite. For a while it made me injure my lower back almost every time I deadlifted heavy and at some point I almost gave up. When I shifted focus to making my back as strong as possible everything changed. It now has become my best lift!
One thing to note is if you have longer legs you can set up with the bar a bit more forward than mid foot this is what I like to do. Ben Pollack and Chris Bridgeford talked about this in Ben's newest video.
Thank you for this. Turns out I had my knees too far forward. Having just did a workout after watching I felt the lift so much more throughout my back in a good way than I have before.
I've been brainwashed so much by your videos it's hilarious. Whenever my friends ask for deadlifting advice I would just spit out DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL whenever they're setting up. Love your videos, they helped improved my compounds a lot.
Thats an one stop how to DL.. I DL 5 months, 230kg but always had problem with low hips. I guess now its over and i will go heavier again. Super thanks...
Hey Alan, great video. I wanted to ask is it bad if I mostly (90%) feel the deadlift in my lower back and barely in my legs&ass? I follow your 5step deadlift setup but not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
You're going to "feel it" in the weakest component in your posterior chain. That's the part that is benefiting the most from deadlifting. As you get stronger, where you "feel it" will likely change. You are most likely doing everything correctly. Keep lifting.
Literally just watched a Mark Rippetoe video earlier about how to deadlift, and now you post this! I’m a beginner and really worried about injuring myself doing a deadlift because of improper form, and this video helped calm my nerves a lot! Thanks Alan!
THanks ALan. I hit 245 for 8 reps today! It felt so smooth and easy. Back was kind of rounded, but I will say that I kept using wide grip for the past 4 weeks or so lol. That's probably why I couldn't max out!
Wow! I’ve been guilty of overthinking many things about the death left set up. Your cue about knees in line with elbows with shins touching the bar is huge for me. Takes the guesswork out of it. Thank you!
Out of the hundreds of deadlift videos I have watched, this must be the best! I’ve only been lifting about 7 months and my deadlift has increased enormously!! I’m so excited to dedicate a whole day to only this movement. I have however, been stuck at 116kg for 2 months, which I think it probably due to me always changing my set back and depth of squat (if you imagine the first part of the movement). Although 6 feet 3 isn’t hugely tall, I have ridiculously long legs, which makes the hip position difficult to queue, and even more difficult to execute during sumo, which is a shame because I feel it would allow me to lift more; however, my inner thighs nearly rip from the bone when I even attempt! Saying that your arms should be flush with your knees is an excellent suggestion and will try to remember this tip tomorrow.
Alan, you are the person I credit most with my outlook towards fitness. I really appreciate the work you do man. The short hair looks great by the way.
Absolutely love you Alan! Always re-watch these and your squat videos to keep on track after rest periods/ a while without form checking. Thank you so much!
What a fantastic way of teaching. I love these jokes in between and makes me understand and remember it much better than the straightforward lecture. As I am training with my son and explaining him how to do it I showed him also this clip and especially the 'don't move the barbell' phrase will stick for sure. Thanks and will visit your other videos as well.
Your first Video helped me to fix my Deadlift years ago. So I bet I will eliminate some issues I have with this one. Thanks and greetings from Germany!
I followed the first ques you gave without explaining in depth and I got into perfect position, felt awesome, I think I'm gonna use that part every time I deadlift until it's burned into my mind. Thanks!
i saw it in a previous on of your vids but i don't see it in this video but the one que that finally got my back to lock was "Chest UP" . pull the slack out then, chest up, then press/lift. OmG what a difference. I fell in love with deadlifts after that. i had hurt my back a few times over the years and was always nervous about deadlifts but after that que, i got it. and look forward to heavy deadlifts every since.
Can't believe it's been over 5 years since I started watching you dude, Congratulations on your long success. I now have my own CZcams channel which has been carreer changing, competed in both strong man and powerlifting, all of which you we're an influnce for, Thanks man and hope to visit Untamed one day :)
Great video!! The only thing I'll mention if lifting heavy weight don't exhale at the top you want to keep the tight stomach and air in, because if you exhale with hundreds of pounds before dropping the weight that can hurt and conpress the spine since you're deflating. The airbag in your stomach is propping the spine like an air bag inside a shipping box.
this is a fantastic and detailed video - so many "how to deadlift" videos from other people are incredibly basic, and probably harm people with bad form more than they help. Kudos Alan!
Always wanted to try but sacred of the addiction … age 51 lifts aren’t going up not recovering like I used to . Man did I need to hear this!! Thanks Allan I’ll stay healthy
Thank you for updating this Alan. Found myself going back time to time referencing Anthony's video for deadlift mechanics due to some back pain. Its great to see you add your vastly accumulated experience to the lift.
I feel like all of us OG followers are that Leo Dicaprio meme pointing at the screen when he says 'lower the barbell'. Thanks for this - such a helpful tutorial!
this was the set up that got me to PR my deadlift many, many times. even after years; and my slight adjustments for what i found worked for me (feet slightly wider than what alan has here), it is the exact same setup i use every single time. you won't go wrong following these
i have finally found a lifting video that teaches. question always: students question teachers. if they don't want questions, they don't know/don't care. teachers question yourselves. making a video that explains the secrets, then making another one that fixes the problems with the first is the purest form of teaching. an expert can still learn. be patronizing: if some things seem obvious, go with it. it won't be obvious to some. and for the others, there is still more to learn. make sure everyone has as much info as possible before starting. learning by trial and error is beneficial, psychologically, but take it from me (a random, internet stranger) - errors will still happen. nobody accounts for everything. just do it: i have a problem. i need to figure everything out before i jump in. but there are many ways to jump in. i don't need to run a marathon if i can't run a mile. don't overdo it, but start somewhere or you will never get anywhere (at once superficial, and deeply philosophical) I have been watching running and lifting videos for 2 years. I just (re: barely) completed my first marathon, but have not even begun to lift. i think that's about to change. thanks, alan.
After loading up with 415 I think I've got the not moving the barbell part down
That’s the most important step good job!
I'm still working on it, The platforms at my gym that I prefer are pretty bowed. I find good spots but after the first rep I feel like the bar isn't where I prefer.
I think people don’t get the joke🤣
@@Rascon5 it's everywhere I deadlift at the black surface of my platform instead sideways
DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL!!!
Love this Alan. Would love if you revisited all the “101 lifts” again. If only for motivation, these are great.

Yes!!!
Yesssss
DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELLL
I second this 🖐🏼

this is awesome! im there with you intil group programming. I have bought templates but thats as far as its gone.

same here man, that's how I started too. time flies

I can load tons of weight if I don't have to move the barbel!!
I put so much weight on my barbell last year that it still hasn’t moved.
I have a bad habit of wanting to roll it into myself, and I have noticed my lifts feeling better when leave it still but I have to consciously think to NOT MOVE THE BARBELL😂
It's good ...load more weights and then don't move the barbell
Step 1. DO
Step 2. NOT
Step 3. MOVE
Step 4. THE
Step 5. BARBELL
Instruction unclear, moved the barbell.
That audio was taken from a seminar where Alan, Austin and Jordan were teaching an elderly lady how to deadlift.
I roll the bar.
I want it as a notification sound for my phone 😂
Louder for the people in the back
New to the deadlift at 64. Countless tutorials. This is the one I watch before my workout. I’m enTHRALLed !!
I love how humble Alan is. I can’t imagine someone watching one of his videos, and not be encouraged and confident in trying to lift. Very inspiring good sir 🫡
Wait a minute, you mean that bearded guy and this guy are the same guy?

What's your deadlift at now?
So, move the barbell?
Do not move the barbell
Excellent guide Alan. Just to be safe I also don't move the barbell during the lift as well.
Yeah I kinda wish he mentioned that, apart from that it's a great video though
The deadlift is unique in that the set up is all that matters, no lifting required. Think yourself strong.
Just imagining someone standing in front of a barbell 24-7 not doing anything while they somehow magically gain muscle mass is killing me.
The new look should be the permanent look. It’s amazing. Plus I learnt how to use deadlift properly with your vid in 2020. Thanks for the update
What I like about these is it gives me a lot of queues to help teach others outside of what I think is useful. Your experience as a gym owner and going to events\conferences is now being handed down to many others and in turn passed on.

Watching the 2017 video improved my deadlift immensely. This is a great update, Alan. 👍🏼
I had you review my form a couple of years ago before my first power lifting meet. You told me the toes pointed out tip and it’s been a game changer. Thanks, Alan for all the knowledge and support over the years!
I'm going to watch this in the gym parking lot every back day until I nail it. Thank you for doing this!

Okay second set and I can say that the "feeling heavy in my hands" is what makes me get into such good position. Thanks!
previous video was extremely useful. thanks for this newer version
Alan's original 5 step deadlift video is one of the best videos on the net and was what got me into lifting.
Good one on bringing up the deadlift myths. You will not believe how many gymbros at my college still buy into that shit in 2022 lmao.
Until now, the BEST video i've found explaining each aspect of the deadlift!! (1 year studying here and there about it)
Hey Alan! Looks like you lost some "weight" there!! I am proud to be ONE of those "MILLIONS of lifters" that you coached on the DL - that 1 simple cue you gave me to "drag the bar up the shins" made ALL the difference, and that's something I have carried with me over a year later!

Congrats on the new Family "addition" and I hope to see the "new and improved" Untamed Strength one day in the future! A bit of "RIP" channeling was a nice touch Buddy!
Holy cow Alan looks rejuvenated, almost like he's 20 years younger!
Before I hovered the mouse over the video I didn't recognise him. I'd forgotten he'd had an haircut.
Yeah, beard was shit.
Didn't even recognize him!
Swear I was like who is that
tbf he's pretty young lol
That cue to have the front of your knees flush with the front of your arms helped me immensely. I had been putting my knees in between my arms, but right in the middle of my arm crease. Now I'm making gains again because my hips aren't too high and everything just feels better.

Physical independence. Alan thrall coming through with the wisdom. I've never thought about it that way but being physically independent is one of the main reasons I train.

I was doing a mobility routine before the gym (deadlift day) and this video autoplayed. It came out an hour ago?!?! MAGICAL!!
I absolutely love deadlifts, definitely seen the best strength increase overall from heavy deadlifts

This is one of the best deadlift tutorials ever made
The best info video that I have ever have seen of deadlifts 🤩🤩👌
The deadlift farts @7:00 were just sublime.
"Knees follow toes" thing made a light bulb go off for in my brain for squats. Thank you.

I didn't watch your vids since 2019
Man you changed
Just started deadlift a few months ago on top of my body workout.
I am confident to increase weights after watching this.
Thank You
Thank you for updating this Alan. Found myself going back time to time referencing Anthony's video for deadlift mechanics due to some back pain. Its great to see you add your vastly accumulated experience to the lift.
I always show newbies your OG video, and now I'll keep doing it.
Didn't expect to see an update version. Have always went back to refer the old one
Fantastic video, Alan!
Favorite caption: Always remember to trend on time.
I plan on starting powerlifting this month. This explanation is so incredibly clear. It immediately gave me more confidence in my endeavor.
I feel like all of us OG followers are that Leo Dicaprio meme pointing at the screen when he says 'lower the barbell'. Thanks for this - such a helpful tutorial!
this was the set up that got me to PR my deadlift many, many times. even after years; and my slight adjustments for what i found worked for me (feet slightly wider than what alan has here), it is the exact same setup i use every single time. you won't go wrong following these
wow, this guy is the guru. respect
...man ... glad you mentioned the new look... missed your videos and glad you're back..!
i have finally found a lifting video that teaches.
question always: students question teachers. if they don't want questions, they don't know/don't care. teachers question yourselves. making a video that explains the secrets, then making another one that fixes the problems with the first is the purest form of teaching. an expert can still learn.
be patronizing: if some things seem obvious, go with it. it won't be obvious to some. and for the others, there is still more to learn. make sure everyone has as much info as possible before starting. learning by trial and error is beneficial, psychologically, but take it from me (a random, internet stranger) - errors will still happen. nobody accounts for everything.
just do it: i have a problem. i need to figure everything out before i jump in. but there are many ways to jump in. i don't need to run a marathon if i can't run a mile. don't overdo it, but start somewhere or you will never get anywhere (at once superficial, and deeply philosophical)
I have been watching running and lifting videos for 2 years. I just (re: barely) completed my first marathon, but have not even begun to lift. i think that's about to change. thanks, alan.
