Every time my training prioritizes squats over deadlifts or deadlifts over squats, the "less important" lift sees steady improvement
They're connected massively for most people
you know it's business when Hicks is dry scooping. fair play.
Imogen Lewis demonstrated it for me on her insta lol
Great stuff, thank you! Looking v good, please keep it steady, would love to see you fit and well prepared at the world DL champs.
Looking strong champ!
Looking great graham, cant wait to see what this prep can lead to!
You and me both!
Awesome!!
Looking great Hicks
Thanks 👍
Love your intensity… such an amazing athlete. And your arms are looking HUGE!
They are!haha
💪💪💪 great content and good filming quality 👍👍👍
Dude 500 lb good mornings blows my fuckin mind
Holy fuck that wasn’t your heavy set. 600 POUNDS good morning…. Is your back made of steel?
He’s done far more haha
@@goldilox811 for good mornings?
He does it easier than his squats 😂😂😂
@@justinwilson3922 it’s insane really
Great Deadlift tip about not squeezing the shoulders. I've always done that as that was what I was shown long ago. I'm looking forward to trying the technique you showed him next week. Thanks Graham! Keep up the great work! 💪
Yeah its more arm pit down you need to focus on
@TheHixxy1985 Happy days, will do! Thank you for the advice! Looking forward to your next video.
@TheHixxy1985 Thank you for the advice. My deadlift felt like it had more stability and was solid. Felt better, not wasting energy and focus by trying to squeeze the shoulder blades together.
Let’s go Hicks!!! 505 in September. I’ll be there to see ya do it.
You look awesome Graham hope everything is going well 👍
As well as can be
Looking strong there Graham, 300k looked easy. Thanks for sharing your training philosophy, it's interesting to see the thinking behind the training
No problem
I will happily come load the bar one day, if it’s during the week I’ll need a bit of notice to book the day off work
Thanks
Please tell us about these Mace plates! They look sooo cool!
Can you do a video of your stretches and warm up tips? Like how long, how often, ways to use the foam roller, etc.?
Best ones are hip airplanes. And just stretching the entire spine and glutes
Good Luck
Watched you pull 475kg at giants live in Wrexham Graham awesome lift keep it going mate...
That was product placement worthy of an 80s film!
When will those 4xl blue belts be back in stock hicksy?
Looking strong as hell! Can’t imagine 270kg good mornings lol. When is prep for 505kg deadlifting starting?
This is the start lol
Id put a online application for a bar loader. I bet you would have plenty to choose from. I don't live close enough to apply. You're looking great and you stay so calm.
Haha yeah but I don't mind loading my bar though
13:24 I always have habit of slouching when I'm deadlifting something I'm trying to get out of
I’ll happily load up that bar for a free membership
Do u live local lol
Wish I lived closer to be a plate loader
Me too lol
💪👊
Looking strong! I never go heavy on goodmornings, isn't it dangerous with heavy reps? I thought that it was an exercise for higher volume work. Btw, do you think that 505 is posible for you this year?
It's still easy for me
505 is being lifted
5.5 hours and 300 miles further North from where you are so I would need a good heads up when you needs plates done. 👌 Looking strong bud.
Just hit a 445 pound/200KG deadlift PR today 💪
Well done buddy
@@TheHixxy1985thanks!
You squat 300kg like i squat my kids! Looking tip-top mate 💪
Thanks bud
270 good mornings are nuts 😮😂
Scarily strong so early in the prep.
Take your time and stay injury free and you can pull 520.
Yeah body is feeling quite remarkable at the minute
Not sure if youve mentioned before, but aside from the deadlift champs, got any strongman comps lined up this year?
No. Have alot of life stuff to fix and organise I can't add a comp onto the mix
would you say ssb is better for building an overall deadlift then regular backsquats?
Oh definitely
How important are good mornings to improve deadlifts and squats I have never tried them in my workouts I’m just building my strength back up after a back injury last summer I’m feeling good and don’t want to go backwards is it worth adding in my workout thanks for any advice
Prob the most important lift
@@TheHixxy1985 thanks for the reply I will add it to my session 👍
Not meaning to hate ... But a squat machine at a 45 degree angle with 460kg .,.. is that the same as 230kg upright give or take a bit of friction from the sliding mechanicals?
Or am i just a physics noob that has skipped brain day?
No 2 leg presses are the same. So I go off my own n see improvement from there
I'm far, FAR from your level but at my best I trained similar to the lillebridge method, which had you deadlift heavy one week, with light squat, then the following week I alternate, with heavy squat and speed deadlifts.
It increased my squat somewhat, but the deadlift skyrocketed. I find personally being a t-rex (shortish arms) that having a powerful squat and Row really brought on my deadlift.
I have actually maintained deadlift by not training it more than 70%, as long as I increased my lower body power
Again I'm no where near your level, but I do like to deadlift heavy only every other week when i do decide to focus on it. I now squat twice per week,once for speed and the other for strength/volume
I know if your injury free you will pull 505. You increased your deadlift loads in recent times and it seems you are even more dialled in now
Exciting times ahead!
I didn't realise they trained this way it's very similar to how I adapted myself..... interesting
What exercises do you recommend for a imbalance in the glutes? My left leg slightly shifts and it feels like it’s a weak glutes medias. I don’t know if I should use bands for warm up or single like stuff to fix it. Thanks
Bulgarian Split Squats should help isolate and trigger your stabilizers pretty well. I've got a loose right hip and the biased single side movements; lunges, split squats, and one legged leg press all seem to help build and maintain strength/mobility/stability
Thanks. I have recently been doing lunges but haven't tested with squats to see if they're working. How often would you recommend doing those exercises a week? Twice a week?@@Kansanite
@@awallner1 I think a few sets twice a week would do well. I have added a couple sets to leg day and using lunges as a part of my general warmup routine has worked out well
I'll do that. Thanks for your help.@@Kansanite
Will you aim to go above 475kg in training for the deadlift champs?
480 I think ....
Ah good old Scottish Tablet the rocket fuel we are raised on up here 😂😂
Got introduced to it other week so I'm hoping my friend can make some more for me soon lol
Weight loss looks good. What has your best deadlift been at the lower weight?
440kg
@@TheHixxy1985 interesting no negative effect then
How come you are going with the SSB instead of a regular bar for squats?
Better carryover to strongman n deadlifts but I also have a bad shoulder
@@TheHixxy1985interesting!! 🤔 i guess the more glute dominant movement does make sense for deads!! Might have to find a SSB now haha
Those goodmornings are actually funny. 270kg! 😵
Yeah always gets good attention them
thats the nectar of the Scottish gods
I like it. Hope my friend makes me more when she's less busy
Great to see you back, but where's the boss?
We have begun a divorce.
@@TheHixxy1985 so sorry for you
X
Yeah but I hate squatting so much. Especially on a smith machine which is 90% of the time because I'm usually alone and it's safer but either way it's awful
It's not safer. Just manage your loads better
I believe you can deadlift 505kg 💪🙂💯
Can your new nick name be cocaine Charli 😂 because of the pre
Not sure that's a good selling point lol
Looking like a way more athletic beast! Like an American pitbull instead of an English bulldog. 👍nothing a pitbull can’t do. Gym is looking sweet too!
.
Breath out on the lift... why are you wearing a wet suite?
Performance shorts lol
Big lifts are all good but personally id like to see you back out there regularly competing dont be like Iron Biby 1 2 trick ponies. Go for the comps.
Oh I won't don't worry. Just got slot in My life to sort
@TheHixxy1985 cool that's good to hear cause growing up I've always thought your a very good strongman athlete. Savickas, Shaw would often break world records but they were whilst competing they rarely went out to a comp to do just a lift. Biby is phenomenal strong no doubt but he trains for 1 lift and rarely competes so in my view most may disagree with me that doesn't make him a great strongman it just makes him strong at a couple of events when he wishes to train for. But then who am i to say what you should do just a fan of strongman you gotta do whats best for you. All the best.
Strongman doesn't pay my bills lol
@TheHixxy1985 really is the money that low in the comps I honestly didn't know I presumed that the competitors in the comps all got payed fair enough learn something new. As I said you have to do what is best for you.
Iv 3 jobs mate
