Want to master the deadlift? Here is your complete guide to the deadlift, to ensure you get the best results for your efforts. Deadlifts will help you stimulate more muscle than any other exercise in your routine. A thick massive back will be yours, if you do this movement right.

why are you locking the knees at the top ….what are you really trying to work, hams / hips and back or JUST back ?
1:19, Grip strength is also a purpose of this exercise. The cushion of the shoes allows too much foot movement, and it doesn’t give your legs a strong, steady base to pull or push from. Picture squatting on a bed versus doing it on a concrete floor. It’s all the little things that will add to injury doing the big lifts.
@mra95662
well then you missed a great video, his information is perfect, his form is perfect and nowhere in the video does he encourage you to use straps
@mra95662 you right and the running shoes as well
@crashxxx I agree he is taking it just a little bit too far.
woow, arching to much in your lower back friend. You should lock your gluts, and that’s it. Overextending your lower back its never good idea.
I quit watching when I saw the straps. That told me this video is BS
i can bull up like 50kg
Stupid video
@thecityalive Haha, well that makes more sense then
@TRichards66 sorry I misspoke. What I meant to say was 95%+ in addition to your weight, so in essence, 195% on the pull. Good catch.
@thecityalive I highly doubt that you would be needing straps or chalk at BW. I’m pulling around 160-170% BW for sets and still don’t require these.
to be honest im a homosexual bodybuilder and i know how to deadlift.. the problem is you have to be skinny to lift really heavy because long arms help deadlifts.. anywy keep lifting breeders
why do u squeeze your shoulders back?
Dude, PERFECT instructions! Where can I find the music you used in this video? Is there a way I can have the MP3? Thanks brah!
@EdgarE5S Good question! what i do is alternate grips afeter each set.
Why don’t you pull that weight raw? I feel like using straps are good, but at the expense of grip strength. Get some chalk and win. Usually, a deadlift gets harder when you start to pull 95%+ of your BW
Does one arm get stronger than the other depending on which side your wrist is holding the bar or it doesn’t matter?
I RLLY want big arms so plz plz plz plz answer me lol. I’m gonna be using bench presses mainly and I hear that selecting a weight that you can only do 3-5 reps of is the best way is that true? Thx for all ur help man u rlly help me a lot
Is it ok to extend / compress your lower back like that?
Sumo all dayy….Whats with the straps??
Dude, you made the best self made video I have seen on Youtube!! Great job, buddy.
