How to deadlift like a world champion powerlifter 

My deadlifts got better today after watching🙏🏻

Technique Nicely explained and smart to mention his leverages for people to be aware of the differences. Good man

I think a good tip for foot placement to tell people is that mid foot means middle from heel to toe instead og the front of shin to toe. I know a lot of people struggle with that which means their deadlift is way out in front of them

Didn’t know how much I needed this video. I’ve basically been squatting my deadlift; did this setup without a bar infront of me just to see, and my hamstrings immediately felt fired up.

I tried this method and I actually broke my PR 3 times in a row, it’s crazy how good technique can make such difference

So I came across this video yesterday just before going to the gym. I implemented Russel's positioning and lifting techniques alongside a breathing technique Larry Wheels talked about in one of his videos. Normally I'd get stuck at 200 kilos in my deadlifts, but I ended up hitting 255 kgs with just these small changes. I'm 5'7, weigh 79 kgs, from Kenya.

Thanks for the vid. Great advice on removing the slack. I just started deadlifting (at age 38) about 3 months ago. The most I’ve lifted is 385… anything over 315 I need a mixed grip. My goal is 495 for now. I’m looking to hit 405 in the next two weeks. One thing I learned for my build is that it’s all quad push until the bar reaches my knee then hip hinge from there. I had the right starting position, but I was tearing up my shins when I first started until I realized that it’s push through the floor, then push hips through.

I love the analogy Jesus used the other day for bench and I think it applies perfectly to the slack pull. It’s like a jump shot in 2k, gotta time it just right. Pull the slack quick enough to not waste energy but slow enough to not lose position.

495# for 3 is usually RPE 8-9 for me but no bullshit after fixing my bar placement at the beginning of my setup it genuinely felt & moved like RPE 6. Predicate you for taking the time to break this down.

Good job dude. That was a very good tutorial. I like the fact you repeated everyone is different, and went over the basics. 👍

I had watched couple video of: Halfthor, Eddie, Jammal, etc. on "how to deadlift, squat, etc. The tip of bending your hip is something that they dont do, or probably forgot to mention! So I am going to try it out next deadlift section! See if it improves my some more.... Thanks

I prwcticed this, and now my lower back is free of pain and i feel more explosive. W vid w russel

Helpful video bro. Saved this to watch many more times.

Not gonna lie, haven’t watched one of your videos since you were starting this gym. Love the content big dog lets keep it up!😤💪🏽👊🏽

I really needed this video

lol I deadlift 5 times a week in a row. 70% of my max and add 10lbs every week for a month when I do a one rep max on the last week and rest for the rest of that week. It’s helped me a ton. Try it if you want it’s what works for me

1:00 is that Jamal Browner on the right, chilling on the bench?!

The guy next 2 ya was taking notes

Another one!! Thank you bro, your lifting tips are very much appreciated.

Thanks russ ❤️ OG

Best deadlift tutorial video ever 👏

I wish we had RU-vid in the 80s. The magazines were okay but this is much better.

Thanks russel orhii for tips 💪🏾💪🏾

Biggest tip I know, is if you are experiencing some sort of pain or it it doesn't feel right. Go lighter and feel out form. I'm talking throw 10 or 25 lb rogue plates on and be discipline.

Nice video!

Thanks Russ! 😊💪

Thank you King

Form is super clean

Assume, Thank You!! going to go do my dead lifts in an hour. Perfect timinig

For me, over-under gripping is unstable in the few times I tried it. I can straight overhand hold the bar for my lift max of 275 with zero problems, no slipping of the grip.

Bench next pleaseeeee especially leg drive

Might be a weird question, but a struggle with bringing the bar back down and actually bending my knees. Any tips for that?

love u russel from egypt big fan u and jamal browner

The grip Russ the grippppp tutorial you use when lifting heavier weight

Thanks!!

🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 soon to be 3 time BOY

how do you deal with the balls being squished? it hurts if i go too narrow of feet distance

I'm going to try this next deadlift day. Hopefully I get massive gains!

great vid

thanks bro

Smart lifter russ

To be clear, you can purchase the original wrestling shoe that was customized for Russ. There are a variety of wrestling shoe companies and Nike is one of the better makers, but definitely not the best.

can you do the same for Squat and Bench ?

My DLs got worse after doing this. The bar is further forward, scraping the shins and the range of motion feels longer.

Forgot to mention to go for a little jog after the set :)

is slack wedge pulling a sumo thing or can it be applied to conventional too?

conventional is king

The camera man needs to stay stationary while he executes the lifts.

@ 6:15 World champion: if there was more weight on the bar, the bar bends. My l5s1 bends to the will of the bar 🤣.still love the movment, usually i just need to listen to the body and not let the ego hit the override switch.

Does anyone know who customized those Nike Inflicts for Russ?

my legs are short, i wouldn't be able to reach the bar by squat positioning

Hey Russ what belt do you use?

Is there a reason you pull mixed grip and not hook?

? Pulling from the stacked lift bar before you come up do you lock your shoulders back

🐐

Ayo ayo ayo ayyooooo

First, I lift the bar Then, I lift my depression

Wrestling shoes are Nike Inflicts

No long socks?

Does doing mixed grip create muscle imbalances in your back?

HI

My body kinda built for deadlift so I don't bend much… another words short

3:10 you say it’s an extremely low position. At 6:05 you’re literally at the exact same position.

Good video please teach others

You are my son!

Let's go

just cannot get in to this specific stance. I think body make up comes in to play in deciding that and there is no 1 right stance.

pro 😁😁😁😁

I’d say sumo is cheating but I conventional more than I sumo 😂

Camera person. Side view. Y Infront. !!??

I going to be honest, I dont go to gym for "efficiency" or shorter rage of motion, I want it difficult but practical, I want it David Goggins style. Not sissy behavior on weight. #stayhard

Bros abs are showing through the singlet. wtf.

Jamal and Rondel did much better video tutorial on deadlifts 🤷

Sumo is cheating.

The same ‘soy👦🏼boy’saying,’sumo is cheating’is the same ‘soy👦🏻boy’ saying,’Patrick Mahones is TOO WEAK to play in the NFL!🤬😂

first

Great video. But just remember everyone. Squats. Squats are the king

half ass effort yt vid, did doohan quit?

Sumo is NOT deadlifting

Take your steroids to😂

Too much talking

DEADLIFTING IS FUN TO WATCH BUT TOO DANGEROUS AND NO MUSCLE BENEFIT TO IT, I PASS

Watching this 20 minutes before my first attempt on deads 🥱
