    In this video, I go into some detail about how to properly position yourself with respect to the barbell when setting up for the deadlift.
    There are many resources that show different starting positions and how they affect biomechanics, however, most only show the effect of changing knee angle, hip angle, and torso angle. In this video, I suggest keeping all of those angles the same (as your normal set up) while shifting the entire body at the ankle joint.
    Cueing "back" just before the lift will help generate more speed off the floor without compromising the lockout. If anything, this technique will also help your lockout. I suggest practicing this at lighter weights and finding your perfect start position.

      John Paul Cauchi this just solved my issue I think. my squat and deadlift are both at 425 lbs and I couldn't figure out what i was doing wrong. going to try this out next session

      @@JohnPaulCauchi Could this possible be harder for taller lifters? I'm 1.84 cm myself and I feel like I loose all my power in the button when I do this (I need knee forward in the deadlift to have any power in the bottom and people have told me it's because I'm tall)

    This is exactly what all the great deadlifters do. There is a lot of incomplete information on youtube even by very popular youtubers. But this particular cue of shifting the weight backwards is the actual way to do it. I have always struggled with the deadlift because I always put my shoulders out over the bar as taught by a very popular youtuber. But that is not correct as I was not able to produce enough pulling force. But keeping the shoulders inline with the bar and shifting the weight backwards is golden advice . This is what works. Thanks.

    One of the best up and coming channels on YT. This is one of those tips that really resonated with me.
    I've heard too many people yelling at me to "engage the hamstrings" but could never go beyond that point.
    Well done and keep it up. Respect.

  • @O_Oli
    @O_Oli Před 7 lety

    As always very insightful and well demonstrated. In all the other tutorials that ive seen they say to bring your chins to the bar in the last part of the setup, so i tend to flex at the knees and bring my hips down in order to that, but its the subtle act of shifting your body weight back that brings the bar to your chins. Thanks!

    This was so helpful. I deadlift conventional and I have had issues with the bar coming away from my body because my shoulders were in front of the bar. I tried to fix it, including sitting back more, but my "fixes" felt wrong. Your tip about the ankles fixed it and it feels a lot more comfortable than what I was doing before. Subscribed.
