    Great tips. I finally convinced my wife that she needed to lift and your tips on the various lifts have given me some new tools I hadnt heard of before to help dial in her form.

    • @brusselsbarbell924
      @brusselsbarbell924 Před 2 lety +1

      While pulling the slack out, shove the chest through the shoulders. You may also need to think of pushing your belly down between your thighs to set the low back a little better.

    Appreciate the tips 👍🏻 however, when I pull heavy (what I consider heavy, anyway) I cannot keep my hips that high. Am I doing something wrong? Or am I just weak? Lol

      I'm an average powerlifter and strongman. The high hips are one of the only disagreements I have with the Rip/SS model. I've tried it their way dozens of times, and can never find the groove. I pull with my hips low(er). I'm in the 585-600 range.

      @@brusselsbarbell924 I guess the best way I can explain without visual aid is to say that when I begin the pull off the floor, my kneecaps are slightly beyond my elbows.

      @@HooDRidEWhiteY I get it, man. There are a lot of very strong people who set up differently before their pulls. I’d venture a guess that regardless of how much lower you start with your hips, that your positioning looks like this when the bar actually leaves the floor.

    @jonnyharding3646 Před 2 lety +3

    I appreciate that everyone is different, but when I deadlift looking forward (as demonstrated) it causes real shoulder and neck pain and stiffness.
    I have to be looking at the ground when I start the lift.

      An eye gaze at a spot on the floor/wall about 10-15 feet away will work well.

    Is it possible to curb the lower back too much ? Not to have a rond back, but the contrary. I think, if we try to curb the back a lot, this is can cause some pain.
    What is you opinion on that ?

    • @brusselsbarbell924
      @brusselsbarbell924 Před 2 lety +1

      Overextending the low back is not what we’re looking for and is a bad idea. You’re looking for hard, rigid extension, not overarching.
