  • One of the most common issues I encounter with people's lifting technique on their Deadlift, Squats, Romanian Deadlifts, and just about every Lower Body Exercise is how they go about hinging through their hips. Try it out and let me know how you go!

  • @matthewpulickottil6831
    @matthewpulickottil6831 Před 3 lety +5

    I had diagnosed this issue some time ago on my own and arrived at part of the problem, i.e. the "chest up" cue, which is common in the powerlifting circles, causing hyperextension of the spine and causing the prime movers - the glutes - to partially disengage from the hinge movement, causing the spinal erectors to take over. However, I could have NEVER enunciated it so lucidly. Props to you, Sensei.

    Great stuff. I think this must be related to anterior pelvic tilt as well, because once I started taking steps to correct my ATP I started to get that alignment that Eugene discusses here. It has made a big difference for me in how my back feels after deadlifts and squats. I also am much stronger in the lockout on deadlifts. Cheers!

    As a physio, I must say this is an extremely good video and you have completely nailed a lot of queues here that I had never thought about.
    Great technical analysis and biomechanical knowledge here.
    One reason I think people feel they need to do the 'chest up, hips back' pattern, is that they have been taught that they need to avoid lumbar kyphosis to prevent disc-related injuries. They therefore overextend the lower back, rather than maintaining a neutral position as you describe.

Looking forward to hinging my hips better, not arching, and hopefully not collapsing from low back strain! Thanks Eugene!

    As a casual lifter I used to be able to deadlift 230kg's like 2 years back. Then I had a lower back injury (mainly because of a lot of sitting) and ever since that I lost the muscle control to deadlift. Deadlifting was by far my favorite exercise and now I'm scared of even picking up 60kg's because of the fear of injuring my lower back. The problem you describe in your video is exactly what went wrong after my 'injury'. I lost my groove and body control, and my lower back takes over and gets fucked at light ways. I will try to find the groove back taking your tips with me
