I tell this to people all the time. Once the bar passes your knees, then you start to straighten out. Think of pushing the ground down with your legs and feet before that.
One of the best simple explanations of the deadlift. It's easy to remember and to think of while pulling yourself. And then train and train until it feels more automatically.
I remember watching the video when Eddie Hall was giving him pointers. Martin’s is one of my favourite of all time. He really brings a lot of personality and desire to the sport.
I thought I was doing it wrong with the transitional movement like that rather than a “smooth” movement where the hips and knees unhinge simultaneously. But this confirms I’ve got it! Thanks for this!!
something to note is that the perception while doing the lift is that your back is straightening the whole time, because it /is/ relative to legs, just not relative to the ground. if your legs straightened but your back remained at the same angle to your femurs, your back angle would be lowering relative to the floor. I think it's more likely that people will hit a wall trying to emulate his form than if they focused on pushing their feet through the floor and came to the same result independently.
Seems like a normal deadlift movement, Licis does a bit extra prior to the pull, main thing you want to do when you start the pull is have ur shins vertical to the bar and have ur muscles tight so you keep good positioning as you start the pull, too many are loose and the butt goes up too fast or back curves automatically
I dont have that much weight to lift at home. But this short made me realise what to focus on when doing Front Squats and RDLs. I feel like if you arent doing it for a purpose, the general person might find more longevity in doing lighter RDL work than heavy deadlifts most of the time.
And I who just went away from this style cause I didn't feel my hamstrings... Now I'm trying out Pete Rubbish style of deadlifting. I'm so torn with all this. 🤷
These "deadlift like such and such" videos are pointless. People can only deadlift like themselves. Once you tick the boxes of 1) shoulders over bar and bar touching shins (and these will take care of themselves once the weight is heavy enough or you just lose your balance) and you keep your hips as low as you can throughout the movement then your body position is simply a function of your thigh/spine/arm length ratios, there's nothing else you can do about it. Even if you try to start with hips too low as in the example shown you'll immediately self-correct as soon as you start pulling because you knees are in front of the bar, they will necessarily have to move back (and the hips up) to let the bar pass through.
Sir! I have a great form for light weight and at almost 90-95% of my pr. But at my one rep max, my back gets rounded. Can you help me with it somehow and please tell me the solution for it?
You shouldn't be copying people... Because you might have different limb lengths and leverages and might not intuit with the same cues... You might need different cues... Everyone is different... Squat plus thrust doesn't work for everyone and isn't a great general cue imo... If you're serious about lifting pay a visit to these two channels (there are many other good ones but these are must watch): Brazos Valley Strength and PRs Performance... Will give you actual solid advice...
@@fallingwickets Fantastic bud. It's referred to as "squatting" to provide an easy cue for the lifter. It's not actually a squat. That would be like calling a squat a pull because you pull your hips through at the end. A squat is not a pull and a deadlift under no circumstances is a squat. The mechanics are completely different.
