SON OF A DEADLIFT!! (For Growth) 

“It was awful.” _ Ryan Humiston Most honest statement ever made.

This man is so swole, he became a deadlift and had a son of a deadlift.

You keep correcting my mistakes I'm beginning to wonder if you've seen me in the gym. I guess my mistakes are common. At any rate, thank you for all these videos.

*ryan your channel is actually quality*

man you're on another level. Seriously you can explain the hell out of a movement. A few minutes of your videos and I finally understand how to connect with my muscle. Best channel on RU-vid.

This man is truly helping me sculpt my body back into shape. Thank you sir.

Really appreciate your no BS approach to growth. I’ve dealt with little to no growth for so many years and after a couple of recent surgeries I came across your videos. I’ve seen some serious improvements since following your workouts. Thanks again!

Finally just found a video on deadlift I actually find fitting and helpful. You have one of the best workout channels period, thank you man.

Ryan, thank you for getting straight to the point and offering awesome advice.

i finally understood deadlifts thanks to you .over 20 years of going to gyms and never really got it! may you live long and prosper!

Keep going Ryan! This is definitely my favorite channel for fast and no-nonsense tips. You're approaching 150k so quickly good job keep it up!

Ryan has great advice. I've been lifting for 37yrs and I'm still picking up good stuff from his channel.

Best deadlift video I’ve seen. Literally exactly how I train it.

Thanks Ryan! This is my go-to channel now. So glad I came across this video

No BS, Just pure knowledge and work! Thank you Ryan! Let's get after it.

Ive watched 100s of training and how to grow muscle on you tube and Ryan os the best ive seen. Hes knowledge and approach to training makes complete sense. I was so confused with my training after 5 years with all the info online until I stumbled upon this chanel. LEGEND DUDE 👍🏼

Mate, I absolutely enjoy your videos! I very much appreciate you for making these videos. You have helped me so much in my workouts! So many things I didn't understand until I watched your channel. Grateful for me finding your channel

I like your style. It’s do or die for me now. You’re my new coach! Thank you

I know this is 2 years old but this guy cracks me up, he's switched on, informative and jacked plus I'm about to Sunday afternoon deadlift n this got me fired up. Thank you brother.

Glad I found this channel during the winter bulk. Straight to the point.

Hell yeah! My favorite day! Thanks sir!!! Always into learning something new. Thanks for the lesson!

I believe my form is good but I'm going to start concentrating on forcing my knees out. Ryan is a beast!!

New subscriber! Hands down your straight to the point tips, advice, tutorials and production quality is the best fitness channel on YT right now. Thanks Ryan, keep up the solid informative content!

The only people giving these videos a thumbs down are all the other channels losing views to this no nonsense, straightforward, logical, and scientific approach to getting results. Great channel, you deserve the subs.

Love your videos straight to the point and you always hit the key topics! Your videos have definitely helped me out in the gym! Keep up the good work!

Amazing. That form looks exactly the same as the first 2 reps, each time!

Seems like the type of guy to be honest and straight to the point... i love it.... new subscriber

I love that someone showed how cardio can be done with deadlifts. I adore heavy deadlifts, but you cannot do them every week and that is a nice way to get this fix every week on that special day!

I've been doing several reverse hyper reps before and after my workouts. Feel like it really preps the lower back beforehand and relief at the end.

The power of the beard adds 20% to any deadlift

Absolutely love your channel - straight, honest & to the point.

Honestly one of the best deadlift tutorials I have seen well done Ryan good cues and fantastic solutions to fix posture.

I love it when you said" That was awful " 😂😂 good old deadlift. I always sleep sooo well after a heavy deadlift session! great

Valgus knees aka knock knees were a huge problem for me when performing squats and deadlifts back about 5 months ago, lately I’ve been pushing them out just like Ryan Humiston stated and it does help drastically. Amazing channel and glad I found it

Quality channel with quality information and guidance. My wife brought me here for your witty comments and jokes I stayed for the GAINS!!! Love the channel bro stay solid stay healthy

I use to watch a lot of BS youtubers videos but every since I been watching you I’ve been getting way stronger and my form is better …. Thanks bro 💯

The only person who would dislike this video is just another PT RU-vidr who can't handle this mans trending growth.

I love versa grip! They are easily the best straps.

Thank you Ryan! Every time i watch your videos i learn something new and i apply in my routine and it makes a difference. so Thank you and keep up the good work!

great channel for anyone, especially the beginner. i love the NO BS approach & instruction. keep pushing the awesome content

4:28 i always do deadlifts this fast, best growth ever. thank you !

What I like about you Ryan - and what I’ve done most of my life - and what you emphasize and motivate me to continue - is BURN OUT sets. Just go to complete exhaustion. I sometimes do legs and after a burnout set I literally feel like I’m gonna black out (not quite) and I need to / want to hold onto something and BREATHE deep - 4 seconds in, 2 second hold, 3-4 seconds out. I sometimes need 90 seconds of just breathing before I can move on in my workout. In this video after your burnout you had a bit of a hard time talking. I KNOW you did the burnout! I don’t know how long you went after that set before you hit Record on the camera but it was evident you still were gettin after it. I see so many guys in the gym who probably are in the gym for an hour but their actual time under tension is minimal. They do quick and fast reps and just 3 sets and move on. Better than nothing. But not for growth. I like walking out of the gym maybe 40 min later and am completely DONE stick a fork in me. Thanks Ryan. You do help me to get after it.

Best lifting videos online bro straight to the point god damn refreshing keep hammering these out

The usual no-nonsense Ryan Humiston stuff 👍. Checked all the boxes in a short crisp video. The man doesn’t bore you to death with unnecessary detail. Addressed every single potential FAQ without them being asked. I’m 56, have no problem lifting heavy, but do want to keep it safe. This vid definitely works for me. Keep it up Ryan. Good as ***k 😀

I’m hungry for this video Ryan. THANK YOU for attacking the deadlift. I needed this. Cheers man

Just finished the vid Ryan and you know what, I forgot how much I love the deadlift and I miss executing it for that overall huge feel. The issue has been the small of my back. I’ve watched Rippitoe (spell?), and some other dudes I respect. But you know what man, every time I follow those “correct” instructions, I tend to feel vulnerable in the pull - the start. The whole thing just freaks me out and it’s infuriating. I’m going analyze this vid and get after it. Thanks again 🙏

Good to see your subscriber numbers going up... bit slowly... your channel and delivery are precise... gimmick free and inspiring. Here’s to your first million mate.

Really grateful I found this channel. Its like having a friend telling you the shit you need to hear.

I’m just so jealous of that open gym man! Noone to be seen. It seems so meditational

Ryan! Dude! Those v-grip pullups were amazing. I just did a slow and controlled 4xfailure and I felt like a damn Harrier jump jet afterwards. I've literally been following your channel for 5 days and I've learned so much. Keep up the good work!

I’ve been training for a number of years and D/L has been a lift I’ve really enjoyed. But even though I’ve competed in powerlifting (light weight master 1 lifter) bad habits are ever present and my nemesis in D/Ls is incorrect knee movement. They travel inward ever so slightly. Something one of the guys noticed just last night which got me working on driving my knees out when setting up and loading the bar. The exact same advice you’ve offered. One of your vids was in my feed and I’m glad it was...you’re coaching and tips are on point and I like your matter of fact / humble style. Im now a subscriber.!! Cheers fella :-)

Since moving to barefoot my deadlift form has skyrocketed. Was really happy to see this as one of your tips.

I love how Ryan basically tells you to not bother with any lifting equipment other than straps because I really can't be bothered to buy any

Just love how you can trust this guy purely based on his tone of voice💪🏼

Ryan your the man💪🏼. The way you explain the lifts are so easy to understand. Thank you. 💪🏼💪🏼

Man I’ve been missing out! This man is funny, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. 🤗👏🏼👍🏼 💯 Instant fan! I’m binge watching all your vids. I even watch through the Skillshare ad just for support. lol

Started deadlifting right when I started lifting (last December). Started at a 135lb DL at 149lbs body weight (6ft tall). This September I hit 405lbs for 2. I am preparing for a fitness test in a few months and have stopped deadlifting due to small back strains occasionally. I weigh 182lbs at 6ft and 13-14% body fat and I attribute this weight gain to mainly the deadlift. An excellent exercise that I am now leaving in the past. Thanks for the video.

I went from deadlifting with Chucks, then to barefoot, and now lifting shoes. I would recommend giving the shoes a try (sans socks). It’s by far my favorite anchor, so to speak. Will you do a video on breathing/bracing with DL, please? I’ve learned so much from this channel. It’s all easily applicable info. 🤙🏽

Second Ryan releases a program, I will be buying it! Never has “shut up and take my money” applied to something I want to buy before.

You're exploding man, I saw you back at 25k subs, I've implemented alot of stuff from your vids, I appreciate the advice.

Lmao at the way he walks away from that long set. I know the feeling.

I like to say “get after it” now

Thanks for the high quality information. I am just getting back into deadlifts as I have really bad piriformis and you are showing really good form for us to imitate.

Great video !! I noticed that most people dont do a deadlift but instead do a clean pull . I made the same mistake for long time and wondered why my hamstrings werent growing . This video exactly covers this problem . And one thing to mention is that if you deadlift in oly shoes you engage your quads more in comparison to deadlifting in flat shoes even if you dont want to .

Could you do a vid on what you eat/dieting advice? Thanks love the vids!

If only my gym was that empty all the time.

One of the best deadlift coach videos, this is really going to help me working through the 4’s into the 500lb club, #when do I need absolute perfect form just lift it, thank You!

This is a great channel. To the point, succinct, and accurate info. Thanks, Ryan

I would really like to know about breathing patterns for the different exercises that you demonstrate. Most especially for the heavy lifts.. Dead lifts, RDLs, etc. Really enjoying your very informative vids. I use resistance bands as I workout at home and don't have room for a weight set\bench etc. But I find I'm able to adapt much of what you've shown. Thank you for the vids.

Next back vid can we get rack pulls. Been moving away from the deadlifts lately.

I needed this..was having problems with my deadlifts and you answer the question that i was having problems with!!! Thanks!

I can appreciate the fact his videos are short n to the point. Quality over Quantity.

Just discovered this channel and really digging the content.

4:22 Ryan Humiston, what was that growl?

This guy is great. Very straightforward and to the point.

This completely changed my mentality when it comes to training, actually getting stronger fr fr!

What kind of pants are those? Diggin the look and look durable for lifts too

This moment when I realize that wearing Vibram Fivefingers while lifting all this time was not such a bad idea!

I love the quality of the content you put in... keep it below 6 mins so its easy for us to watch the full video in our busy lives... thanks...

Ryan! Ryan! Ryan! Your technical advise is absolutely master-class!

Could you record just a normal day in the gym? Like dude, I need to see how those guns are created real life!!

Love how he trolls himself with petty comments so that we don't have to!

Brother - you keep it real. Love your post. As a former Marine- dig the A-hole/ straight up knowledge you bring.. keep doing it👍

You sir, are awesome. 💪🏽🤘 The videos hints and tips are perfect. No filler, to the point. Unlike other videos where they’re like 10 - 15 mins.🙄😒

Ryan, do you normally dead lift on back or leg day? I switch it up personally

This dude casually doing my max for reps. Of course, I’ve only been lifting for a couple months and he’s built like a trim hulk hogan so that makes sense I guess

HARD WORK, not gimmicks!! Thanks for your emphasis!!

Amazing videos man. I now have a ritual. Before I go to the gym, first I watch your videos, memorise all tips from it and than go to the gym. Best workouts ever and for the first time I can see big progress. Please, can you mako more videos on abs and food. Love your channel. As always, get after it and get growing 💪

Lol "that was awful" 😂

This guy is a lumber jack

Freshman and sophomore years in highschool (2001-03 ish) I was a powerlifter. Best I did was 525. Required to use the belt even in lighter reps. No straps allowed. Had to be reversed grip. Coaches were strict about it. If we could have had this kind of honest training that could build you up and work more that just what would count at a lifting meet, I full believe not only would I have stuck with it through senior year (and made 600) but the team would have improved greatly. You really explain why you do what you do in an honest and understandable way. Good on you big man. Keep it coming!

Man pushing my knees against my arms was the best advice I received on DL in my 17yrs of lifting. Thank you

***I rather run that mile!!! 😂

Hey man where do you get your joggers from??

This video has easily been the most beneficial info for my deadlift form. Quality, keep it up 👌👍

Kind of dangerous advice. Deadlift is not to be messed with. It's a compound movement. Legs should be used with the back to lift safely

You rock Ryan!!! Thank you for your awesome content man! You got love from South Africa!

I first started following this guy 3 or 4 months ago. I never heard of him before that. He had 225 thousand followers, now he has almost 600,000. I guess it means a lot of people have discovered him just like me.

Damn, have missed your channel completely. its golden dude! Love the content and your mentality!!!

I usually start with the partial deadlifts (Romanian deadlifts) to warm up. Nice to see a big guy promoting the No-Belt & straps-ON attitude that allows core training, but also focusing on the back muscles (not on the grip/fingers). Cool video👍🏻
