For your hip raising, you will loose power off the ground but you can try leaning yourself back a bit which will create a more vertical shin position and shift the centre of mass slightly, so that you can maintain your arms vertically above the bar and keep it close to the hips for a leverage advantage whilst keeping the correct tension through hamstrings and posterior chain so that you don’t have that motion and lost force at the start. It’s might take a few weeks to get the strength back but it’s well worth it

fantastic tutorial

Truly amazing, no one talks about this. The deadlift should be an efficient pull with the hips higher than most would think.

W video.

Class act to create tripping hazards and then poke fun at your clients for tripping on them.

Great technical advice ❤ subscribed 💪

my problem is I have so long femurs that if I get into that textbook position my torso is parallel to the ground, very little knee bend, a lot of hip bend. I dont know if that should change my Deadlift

I workout at home now so its unfortunate I don't have a squat rack but to work around it I just power clean, over head press and bring it down to do regular back squat the only problem is i can't go heavy like 225+ or something like that :/

A big lesson that I've implemented to improve my deadlift is to record the lift from the side, analyzing whether the hip moved up or not. If yes, then it's ineffective, because the hip should only move forward like a hip thrust

"I like it" 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Not a word about body height and lenghts of those bones and joints. Yes, physically the lever should work as a lever in most efficient way. Unfortunately, the human body is not very efficient compared to a simple lever. UPD: Do not jump into conclusions, people. Do it as it advised by rehab specialists, do not do it as a rando from YT said.

Could you please do a video like this for the bench press?

There's a reason they have all that red tape there.

Proportions play a big role.

Solid insights brother 👌

You deserve a lot of subscribers 🥹

I'd like to see how these cues work with a swiss bar or log. Can't exactly stack wrists over wlbows with those implements.

I have this problem...can using the leg abductor machine at gym help this?? Also while squatting I have observed that I put more pressure on one leg more than the other while rising and get a lopsided squat, maybe it's muscle imbalance or something else...can you make a video or give advice on how to correct that, Thanks.

i was literally thinking about this a few days back when I hit 350 pounds

I have longer legs in relation to my arms. I think I usually start with my hips low and my lower back is always crazy sore after I deadlift. I’m also careful about back rounding. I used to pull sumo to compensate for my body position but I want to get good at conventional. I’m going to try your advice and hopefully I’ll feel my legs/glutes more than my lower back.

That's the best explanation I've seen on TH-cam!

Bingo 🎯! Think that’s what I did wrong when I pulled 405lbs on my shorts. First time though. Yet many errors such as slightly rounded back and hip raise first.

My problem is shoulders rise before hips and trashes my lower back. 😢

Very interesting video but I have always been told to have vertical arms and to lean back at the beginning of the pull. I’m not very experienced so now I’m confused 🫤

I have done deadlift with both high hip and low hip and though I agree it may not be the most “efficient” way to pull, I find more lower hips allows me to get everything much tighter and feel much more comfortable. 👍

Great explanation! Thank you :)

This is so good

thx

Great deep dive!

Beautiful demonstration and explanation man !

Thanks for the video. I still would put a Dont try this at home disclaimer. Squat is a movement for heavy weights. No matter how strong you are, there are moments things are going to slip out of control. if you dont have space for a full squat rack try to find two separate squat rack legs. they are way easier to place somewhere in your house than a full squat rack. i found two for a total of 150 euros even in Albania. So, squat safe!

I must say you’re spot on in your assessment & explanation. It is a problem i encounter too but i believe it happens because to varying degrees it must. Due to the particularities in peoples builds & effectively the differences in moment arms based on the varying ratio of limb lengths and muscle insertion points.

the only video i need

well ... not everyone is built the same to begin with .... some people are born with good strength in quads in comparison to back so they will likely have different pattern ..everyone is built different thats why we see different squat, deads and bench numbers ...

I just started deadlifting and this is the first time I actually understand what is going on. After so many videos but not fully understanding I’m glad you made this video!

You are the coach that we need, but we don't deserve 🦸

Its due to weak hamstrings, leading to compensation by the back muscles.

This is better than what I was doing thank you

I'm glad to find this videoo, it really helps me a lot, and explains hips shooting up clearly

I just got my first barbell but can’t fit a rack in my small apartment. This video was so helpful! Thank you!

Ideally you want to get the bar in the crease of the hips for the best leverage to apply max force to the bar. Bending the arms to get the bar into that ideal position provides a trade off between improved leverage and power leakage through the arms. Whether the trade off is worth it depends on the strengths and weaknesses of the lifter. Clearly it works for some of the elites.

Nice material! I had some powerlifting practice and would also say that if you start the deadlift with the arms bend - you waste energy to keep it this way. Thus the biceps injuries in the deadlift. I belive that the deadlift is to some extent a base to weightlifting and therefore this principle should also be applied. Lift with your arms straght

Without objective measuring all we can do is speculate. Arguably, there is a trade-off to be won from arm-bending as a taller/lankier lifter. You may lose some acceleration off the floor, but may gain better leverages that enable a more powerful triple extension (i.e., hip clean vs. tight clean). Whether this trade off is better for a specific person is a matter of testing and seeing what brings better results. Most coaches I follow seem to agree that a slight bend is more than fine in most cases.

Using professional weightlifter to support your claim assumes they have perfect technique. They don't. Rip isn't right very often, but early arm bend in the lifts is wrong. Arms should bend after extension

The way im doing my lift is the same as what this video suggests, but i was going to change it base on how the top athlets do it. So now im confused, which one is correct? If this video is right, does that make the worlds best wrong? What am i missing here?

I like it 👍

The other aspect is the knees sitting flush with the elbows so that hip positioning is maintained and the tension is still in the hamstrings on the ascent up.

While I don’t disagree with ur general point. There are specific things I disagree with and/or would like to introduce nuance. I would like to point out that I am not using the clips presented, unless said so directly, as evidence of any of my arguments. 1) ur understanding of the clean is fundamentally wrong. This is even more apparent seeing ur technique. The starting position of a clean is a mixture of a deadlift and squat. The bar should not be mid-foot, it should be closer to the balls of the foot. It is not the same movement mechanics and follows it’s own rules. In fact oly lifters have their own deadlift variation called clean deadlift. It is like a deadlift but the starting position is different. It is inherently more quad biased and any error is due to a quad weakness (form breakdown usually accompanied by max weights). It may or may not be a big worry. Or a technical error learning which is problematic. I’ll mention this again later. However the idea of not letting the angle of the torso lower is correct. 2) a lot of the “hips rising and shoulders falling” isn’t always due to an error. A lot of lifters start very low and then lift it up. They only ACTUALLY initiate the pull once their hips get into position before the bar actually comes off the ground. This gives the illusion of improper movement mechanics however it isn’t. This is typically due to preference (dynamic start) or to build up tension (pull the slack.) 3)if u have very strong quads relative or just a bizarre anatomy having more knee action can help give more leg drive. Ur hamstrings can only have good leverage to pull once ur knees are in a fixed and extended position, (shins are usually near vertical, the knee no longer rises or extends rather the hips shoot through) if ur shins are vertical too low in the lift it can have the hamstrings in a more stretched position and this a weaker position potentially. Ur anthropometry might even slightly effect this. However this case is typically rare. But once the knee action is done, Yes there will be the shoulders dropping and the hips rising, but this, especially for people with relatively weaker hamstrings allows the hamstring and glutes to fire in a less flexed position. This is why rack pulls are easier when u upright ur torso and flex the knees more and why a stiff legged deadlift is harder. The hips don’t rise but the hamstring are stretched in a weak position. Added knee bend if u know what ur doing might add some hips rising but could, if u know urself, help u. If u have less knee bend that only means ur gonna have ur hamstrings initiate lower, and more stretched, which for most people isn’t a problem unless it’s too far like a stiff legged. Again the degree of it will be individualised. 4)at some point the weight will be so heavy that most people have their knees extend quick (due to weak quads or just in general a maximal load) and the load shifts as quickly as possible to the posterior. This is inevitable. It’s the same in the squat, it isn’t something that needs to be “corrected” or “avoided” but rather ur body adjusting. This may or may not make u be able to get the lift through. It depends on ur control and weaknesses. In terms of what I agree with. Yes. The standard should be mid foot on the bar for deadlifts. Not cleans. A vertical line is generally the best rule not necessarily as much for cleans. And that if ur hips excessively rise there is likely a chance ur quads are weak, or ur technique is bad. Another thing I’m not sure if it was mentioned is pulling the slack out of the bar. If u aren’t pulling the slack out of the bar the hips could rise too quickly as u initiate the pull, throwing u off in a bad position. Conversely, as I mentioned before some athletes pull the slack out but they don’t initiate the pull so it gives the illusion of the torso further lowering when really they were getting into position before they actually started pulling. Things change depending on ur approach to the lift.
