    Listen to these cues, DO EVERY STEP, and I promise you that your deadlift will skyrocket over time. I started using their cues 4 years ago when I started barbell training. When I began, I could barely get 135 lbs off the floor without it hurting - tonight I hit an PR of 505 lbs at 44 years old. This WORKS. Same goes for their instructions videos on the squat, overhead press, and bench press. It's the best way to learn, period.

Davis Diley and Alan Thrall both have videos teaching the same method with 4.3m and 2.3m views each respectively.

    my notes about this, sharing for the people that like text:
    1. stance - toes pointed slightly out (10-30 degrees), normal jump stance.
    2. hands - double overhand with thumbs about 1 inch away from your legs.
    3. bar should be directly above the midfoot.
    4. without lowering the hips or bending the knees, grip the bar.
    5. when grip secured, bend knees forward till shins just touch the bar.
    6. shove knees out just a little so that they're in contact with elbows
    7. squeeze your chest up, look at 15 feet away on the floor.
    8. take a big breath, hold it and then drag the bar up your legs vertically up with contact of the legs.
    9. go up till arms are straight, chest is up and then lock knees and hips.
    10. you can put the bar on the ground at the end of the way down but don't unlock your back till the end of the set.

    Turning the toes out more was an absolute game changer for my deadlift. For some reason, I always deadlifted with toes straight forward, and it made me unable to get into a good possition, and as a result I snapped my back up pretty good one time... but now I deadlift perfectly fine with no pain or discomfort at all, and even heavier weights come flying off the floor right now. Thank you starting strength!

      @Hossak Před 2 lety +1

      @@michaelthomas1916 Definitely - it really helps. Also work on the activation of your glutes and have them so some work for you in the deadlift. That is quite tricky and takes some time to get right. That is why your feet should be at a slight angle for the conventional, again tricky to communicate. To try to get across what I mean do this, stand on a smooth floor in your socks, feet pointing forward. Now squeeze your butt like you are trying to protect your cornhole in a prison shower (seriously hard) and notice that your feet now rotate outward. This activation is what you are aiming to transfer some of the force into the glutes when you deadlift. Same for the squat - good luck!!!

    Some extra info for taller lifters: I am 6'1" (around 185cm) tall and just started training a couple weeks ago, and have trouble using conventional form for deadlifts and squats as I have very long legs.
    I have been doing a lot of a research and came up with a few common tips for taller people trying to perfect their form.
    - It varies a lot per person, but some taller people might benefit from using sumo stance for deadlifts. The range of motion shifts slightly and might provide some more comfort with the wide stance.
    - If you feel that the conventional stance is more comfortable, try using a slightly wider conventional stance and try different foot angles. There are videos explaining how to find your perfect stance.
    - Buy some lifting shoes that are raised at the heel, providing some leverage. These are ESPECIALLY important for taller people who have trouble with ankle mobility.
    - Instead of having the bar over the middle of your foot at the beginning of the lift, try having it just a little bit (maybe an inch) closer to your toes.
    - This is a more general tip, but it still applies: stretch your muscles before and after lifting to extend your range of motion. Make use of foam rollers and roll out any tight feeling parts of your quads.
    Try these tips individually and together and you might find something that helps!
    I personally found that a slightly wider conventional stance with a tiny tiny bit more angle on feet allows me to correct my deadlift form and squat deeper.
    There are plenty of videos about lifting for taller people, and while being taller means that you might not feel comfortable using the most conventional form, it doesn't mean that you can't find the right form for you.
    I think this video did a fantastic job of explaining the correct form for deadlifting; these tips are just some very helpful things I have encountered in the past couple weeks of learning how I can correct my form.
    I am just a fresh beginner in training and lifting so I might be explaining things slightly incorrectly or missing some information, but this is what I can remember off the top of my head and I hope it provides a little bit of insight!
