Dead Lift Technique Instructions with Slow and Stop Motion
Learn how to dead lift using proper form with step by step instructions and slow motion demonstrations. The Dead Lift is the best overall mass building weight lifting exercise. Be sure to always use correct technique and form for heavy dead lifting in the gym and in the real world.
A good way to fix that up would be to keep your face forward like you were but try to keep your eyes up towards the sky’s for safe dead lifting
thx that is good advice… the back tends to remain flat/straight when head is lifted a bit but having a slightly rounded upper back at that point is also not much of a problem
are u always supposed to rest the weight on the ground between reps?
yes, doing so also gives you a second to ensure you have proper form when lifting
i have problems holding on the bar my left hand gives out after a while in the set.
anyway to get that not to happen?
not if you are a trained deadlifter with good form then at lighter weight you can do the touch and go technique but at heaveier weight I would recommend resting the weight on the ground between reps
ru using the mixed grip? the mixed grip should give you a stronger/longer grip strength. you can also use chalk to help with the grip and don’t use gloves
i cant keep my lower back straight?
even at light weight? try looking up toward the ceiling and pushing your chest out
hey this is a bit off topic but, remember the old song you had your fault by plain white tees? i really liked it and it sounds somewhat different from their track release of that song, can you tell me where you downloaded it from?
yeah I got it from the youTube audio swap which is where I also got the current mayday parade song
youtube audio swap? sorry i’m not familiar with that. how do I access it?
do lower weight i guess and maybe u got restricted body movement so stretch more lol
I’m gonna try and get into deadlifting.
Does the DL “work” your hips? I’ve had trouble with my hips and I need to get them to grow but unsure how to do this.
not sure what you would like to work by saying “hips”. the hip is a joint, deadlifts are going to work glutes and other muscles that cross over the hip joint. but i can’t really advise because i’m not sure what you mean by getting your hips to grow.
there is no “try” do or do not…LOL but seriously the dead lift is the best overall weight lifting exercise and will grow muscles of the posterior chain (hamstrings, gluts, and back) as well as your quads, forearms, lats and traps.
youTube has a bank of songs that you can use for your video called audoswap but you can only use it to add music to your vid which is how I got this song on my vid
The form in this video isn’t that great, at least with your set up, you sit down too low and lean back to far.
Watch the moment when the bar starts to move off of the floor, THAT is the proper form set up. You aren’t doing to pull shit until your scapula are over the bar, and the bar is over midfoot, so you might as well start there.
A great Slideshow with perfect instructions – well done! – check out my Deadlift clips for weekly updates as well – MR
but that is where I do start, I just prefere to come at it differently than most. I find it is be best way for ME to get into the proper lifting position. To each his own!
“Sumo vs conventional is really a matter of preference and to some extent body type”
HELL NO! Sumo’s are used for Hamstring development and often used as a Knee rehab (ESCAMILLA et al 2001). It doesn’t matter what type your body is you can perform any lift you like as long as you have decent form.
I would stop giving out advice and concentrate on your own technique first
You can’t maintain a netural or at least lordotic curve (at the bottom of your lift), prob tight calfs (feet are turned out throughout), hamstrings, hip flexors.
You go on about glutes but yours are not firing off probably from tight quads. At the top of your lift, you don’t activate you actually extend through the spine to give off the impression. Your kyphotic at the top of the lift, form is form should be perfect in training.
oh so your advice (ie techno babble) is better?
Hey, this is really helpful, thank you! I have a question, I find it lots easier to maintain an arch in my back if I pull my shoulders back as far as I can, but my upper back muscles acan’t hold this with more than 180lbs..does this mean that I should not be lifting more? If I let my shoulders go forward/down but keep flat back I can lift twice as much but I am more concerned with form. Should this exercise involve the upper back that much? Thanks so much in advance for advice!!
you answered your own question bud. Form should really be priority. Quality over quanity. Stick with good form. remember you shouldn’t really have an over lordotic curve should be neutral.
You can lift twice as much as you start to compensate with other muscles and your weaker ones switch off. Scapular retraction is very important in most lifts (Bench, Squat)
