Yes 100% and did you see how consistant her reps where. I normally whatch all videos on 2x speed and that makes most wiggles and sways more obvious but she looked like a robot (in a good way). Check 5:15 at 2x speed, uncanny.
yes this is awesome. it kind of goes across most sports. i’m a not great at golfing but i do golf a lot and i actually enjoy watching women’s golf more because everything is so smooth and technical. the men are better athletes (i don’t mean this negatively towards women) so they do a lot more stuff in their swings. same with women’s basketball, i actually don’t like watching that but if you wanna learn technical and the right way to play, they can’t play above the rim so it’s good for young kids to watch the basics from professional women
Agree on all of the above. When I used to play a lot of tennis and I wanted to work on ground strokes and consistency, I would play a good female. I went to a college that was loaded with a lot of good tennis players. It was fun being able to go all out in tennis against a young lady.
Wow great! My only question is what makes us figuring out the high of our hips in our starting position?I struggle to find the sweet spot and wondering if i do my deadlift "squatty" too much. How can i know if my hips are too low or to high at the beginning of the deadlift?
Explained very well but they’re not worth it in my opinion. I hurt my back which was entirely my fault but it sidelined me for months. There a plenty of exercises that work those muscles without the risk to your back. Not saying don’t do deadlifts just please keep your form consistent and don’t try to lift too much.
This right here, it’s still one of the top weight lifting movements but you shouldn’t try to push yourself with it. I always go light on this exercise to get the movement/muscle strength, but I’ve heard it’a not worth going heavy on.
It's vital for people to understand that the deadlift is a pushing leg exercise, not a pulling back exercise. Not at all to say it doesn't work the back, but if you treat it like a pull, you will hurt your low back. Treat it like a standing leg press, and stick your rear out. That helped fixed my deadlift. Ironically, focusing on that, and not keeping my back flat, actually helped keep my back flatter and kept it from bending on heavier weights.
It's still a hip dominant move unlike the leg press which is knee dominant. It's a pull for the simple fact your arms being attached to the bar, otherwise it's a hip thrust.
@@ericcarson342 your arms do almost no mechanical work on the deadlift. Yes, it's more like a hip thrust than a leg press, but in terms of the mechanics, it's absolutely a push (which the hip thrust and leg press both are).
The problem is that you can't do this pushing motion with the legs with light weights. Your back comes in too easily. So beginners starting with low weight always learn wrong.
Just wanted to come back here to say you absolutely saved my back. I was having serious back pain with deadlifts but after watching your video I tried yesterday and zero pain afterwards. Just woke up feeling great. The one tip I took from it that changed everything is to approach DL like a push (legs) movement not pulling (arms). Thank you ❤
Camera work absolutely make no sense for an instructional video. Step a few steps behind and stop moving the camera up and down. Show the person while she is talking not parts of the body. And most importantly: Get a fixed position for the example sets. Moving up and down with the weights creates the impression that you are lifted. Secondly it's a compound movement you need to show the whole body.
this is so great! love how she breaks everything down especially the breath work. also talks about everyone's form being different which is straight facts. gotta appreciate her non-cookie cutter bs that a lot of other fitness coaches claim
Deadlifts are just a great compound lift. I’m 65 and discovered them later in life. I thought they were just for meat head lifters. Boy was I wrong! I have Multiple Myeloma, which can make you prone to spinal compression fractures. I use a trap bar to minimize awkward loading on the spine, keep the weight at 185 lbs. or less and focus on doing AMRAPs. Just doing a lot of reps at 135 feels like a HIIT workout! Heart rate goes through the roof!
Tell kelly all that hand waiving she does, as though she were signing, is not helping her be more well understood. It's just poor etiquette. Most rich chicks like her know this.😅💈🙋
Wow. Awesome instruction. I've lifted off and on my whole life. At 67 AND after 3 hip replacements I'm finally getting into dead lifts to recover my butt, lol. After a few months, I can say they work. Best, Steve
THIS IS THE BEST DEADLIFT TUTORIAL VIDEO I HAVE SEEN OR HEARD SO FAR, GOD BLESS YOU KELLY JI, PLEASE BE CAREFUL, PLEASE BE SAFE, I WILL PRAY FOR YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Opinions on lifting barefoot: does that make your feet stronger? Id think so because your shoes normally keep the foot steady, not sure how to explain that better..
Thank you started deadlifts today felt kinda discouraged as people stare . I’m trying to build my core and I wanted to make sure I’m not waking up tomorrow with back pain. Thank you 🙏
Another question if I may, is it a good idea to gradually increase the weight while at the same time reducing the reps?, so instead of 50 reps at 60kg possibly work down to 25 reps at 120kgs?, this will be over a period of about 9 to 12 months of course!!,
I just found you Kelly - I love your straightforward no bull explanations. I subscribed to your channel. Just one suggestion - your black top blends with the background, making it a bit difficult for my older eyes to see what you're doing. Any other colour would help me see you ;) 🙏
Ok, I’m hoping you can answer with a routine you may have for your extremely well developed arms and shoulders which I noticed are awesome. I’m hoping you have something on your web site which I will check out now. The reason I’m asking is I’m 66 years old and have always lifted since my teens. However I’ve noticed that it’s very hard to maintain and build muscle at this age. Thanks
This is one of the best videos on deadlifts. Clarity in explanation, proper demos and awesome camera work. She reminds me of Rachel Weisz (the mummy movie actress)
I'm 64 and I can do 10 reps of 100 kg (220 lbs). However last week while attempting 90 kg, a lower back muscle contracted involuntarily causing pain. That muscle is still inflamed and sore😢
A key for me is like she says, “a big breath, brace through your body.” The exercise is a pull with driving your legs into the floor. Think falling backwards pulling while your legs push as hard as they can and your spine is as straight and as braced as you can. Do low reps 3-5 sets of 1-5 reps.
Love your content!! Can you please help me finding out which deadlift is best for me? I am a short person(162cm) with long torso, but I also have long femur bones but the rest of my legs (from the knee to the ankle) is short?
I'm a 44 year old man. Not a pervert. I just enjoy art and exercise. I don't do deadlifting now, because I'll do my back in. What can I do, that won't hurt my lower back?
iv watched a lot of Deadlit how to guides when i first started and now creating a playlist for a friend this i think is hands down the best deadlift guide i have ever seen
Big, huge fan of your tiktok and so glad you're here too! Just wanted to share, I ruined my feet doing deadlifts etc barefoot. Gave myself plantar fasciitis and had to take 3 months off which was the worst. Saw a podiatrist and physio and they both said the same and that it's becoming more common
