How To Do The Starting Strength Deadlift In 5 Minutes 

Thanks TSC! 💪

Awesome!

I always use alternate grip on the barbell deadlift. The hex bar is tough for me because I have weak grip strength. Big chest drag it up your legs! I see so many people hurt their back by not following that instruction. I'll do 9 sets of 8-12 on deadlift in 1 workout.

The eccentric faze of a lift is the most stimulating for muscle growth. You’re only doing the concentric here for the hamstrings, glute and spinal erectors, and doing what amounts to isometrics, static hold under load for the lats, upper back and traps, which is the least effective muscle building method. The program doesn’t include any rowing, so there’s no horizontal pull, and in addition to this, the erectors and hams not to mention the grip are the limiting factors before the back even gets any stimulation. If it were me, I’d deadlift once a week, last workout of the week Friday, and then take 2 days off. Then Monday I’d do Rows and lighter Romanian Deadlifts, Wednesday I’d do chins or other vertical pulling, pull overs, rear delts, then deadlift again on Friday, that way you hit the entire back throughout the week.

Squeezing my chest up makes my lower back rounding. My deadlift became much better when I stopped doing that, and just look down instead..

2:24 "You're a good example; you did exactly what I said" Very nefarious operant conditioning 5:05 Should pick a weight that can be done with proper eccentrics then, since the majority of back injuries are caused by eccentric loading and you're deliberately avoiding that part of the lift. That's counterproductive if the goal is to make people stronger for the sake of physical resilience 5:22 What's stressful is squatting heavy 3 times a week and then putting a set of deadlifts into the mix on top of it. Proper load management would make this a non-issue. I've done _15_ sets of 5 on deadlifts a week just fine 5:30 It's more like they only _can_ do one set, given the program layout. A-B splits with deadlifts and squats ever on the same day, much less in the same meso, is just nuts. SS is itself way overcomplicated for noobs in many ways, and I can and already have made numerous hour+ long videos on the topic
