    I got bicep tendonitis from doings DLs, on the small head where it connects to the shoulder just above the armpit. My grip was too weak for the weight I was pulling and I was using straps and my arms were hanging sort of like wet noodles...so I think the hiding armpits to engage the lats suggestion really is a good one.

      @@Ebvardh nope, it’s as bad as ever. Now it’s primarily caused by benching heavy. Resting doesn’t help… continuing to lift seems to help a bit, as long as it’s medium or light loads. Actually really heavy deadlifts doesn’t bother it…I use a switch grip and that solved my problem from using straps.

    I struggle to brace and lock my core in the starting position of a deadlift. Subsequently the first rep is always the hardest , reps 2 -5 always feel easier when I'm following the groove. I've noticed athletes like Kristen Dunsmore take their breath before they grip the bar, then set up and lift reasonably quickly. Would this kind of setup be a benefit in my situation or is it more of a personal preference ?

    Hello from Chicago, Chad! I have a partial torn bicep tendon at the right elbow. Orthopedic doc said no reason for surgery at this moment. Anyway, should I stick with both hands in the overhand grip position at all times or would it be safe for over/under for heavier weight?

    • @JuggernautTrainingSystems
      @JuggernautTrainingSystems  Před 3 lety +7

      Thanks. Simplest thing will be to hold the last rep of all your deadlift sets for 10 seconds. Beyond that, doing timed holds for 30 seconds hold, 90 seconds rest x3 rounds starting a 50% of your max will be useful.

      I've dealt with herniated discs as well, make sure you're doing a lot of this: czcams.com/video/czyqxXOtmxU/video.html
      Complimented by some of this: czcams.com/video/PrZeUbDDk1M/video.html
      and then starting off your deadlift training in a way you can get in good positions, this likely means elevating the bar on blocks and then progressing down to the floor over a number of weeks.

      @Mozrael7 Před 3 lety +1

      Do you mean double overhand?
      Double overhand is good for training grip strength. Some lifters use alternate grip as Marisa does here when the weight gets heavy for them because it's easier to hang on to. Not sure why she chose alternate grip here when this weight is obviously trivial for her. It's a bit confusing, tbh.

    I've been stuck at a certain deadlift weight for more than 1 year. I can do more than 3 reps on my orm but cannot do even 2kg more. People I train with are telling me it's a mental block. Might be that or I might just lack skill or know how or strength. I've watched many videos and tried a lot of strategies but so far I am not progressing.

      You're using your back too much & not your legs. You need to drop your hips just enough to engage your hamstrings & glutes. You should feel the soles of your feet try to press the earth. Also, make sure your lats are back and down. You want a big chest when deadlifting.
