I love this active/passive tightness concept. I used to try so hard to bring my hands in, the old baseball elbow made it painful. Moved my hands out, focused more on legit upper back rigidity. Boom. Squat is better than ever.
20:15 Perfect parallel to belts - if you take a shitty belt, squeeze the life out of yourself with it, it might feel tight, but it's nothing compared to a proper valsalva brace, much like cramming your whole upper back into a small rectangle vs. actively squeezing your traps, lats and whatnot.
He is definitely strong. He just seems to lack practicing technique. If he learns to create more brace and pack his lats and shoulders more he has a bright future with his deadlifts.
@@davidmacamay7099true but form is horrendous nonetheless. He is just deadlifting with his lower back. He makes 0 usage of knee and hip extension which would yield much better results and less of a chance of strain
@@briannguyen2992 it's impossible for the lower back to move the weight. The only muscles that lever your torso up are your glutes and hamstrings. Just because he's not squatting his deadlift with a perfectly straight back doesn't mean he's not using his legs. In fact higher hips yields better quad push off the ground. And his glutes and hamstrings are still levering the weight up because it's impossible for your back to physically move the weight. Rounded back and high hips DOES NOT mean his legs are out of the equation.
