I'm so grateful for you guys doing these videos, without fail there is always one part of your tips and advice that I've forgotten or not adopted through bad habit. With this one it was not taking the slack. Again thanks so much and please keep up the great work.
great info...just did deads today...wish I would've watched this before...great cues to remember before lifting..thanks Dave ps...how could anybody feel they dislike this video, getting free info from one of the best coaches alive!!
@mauricelyons it was explained in the video, you want to pull/lean back as hard as you can and since there's ~135 on the bar and Dave weighs ~240, his momentum and weight moving backwards can't be matched by the bar weight. When the bar weight increases to and above body weight then the stumbling should stop
@oldskoolrap69 when you first go to pull in a deadlift there is some slack in the bar. So when you do a deadlift pull up on the bar to where it is tight and then follow through with the lift
he is use to the heavier weight holding him to the ground. As he said in the video, you need to lean back as you pull up, so with light weight he is going to be thrown off balance, hence why he falls back.
@mauricelyons im assuming because the weight is so light he is pulling it up extremely fast putting him off balance, throw some more plates on it and he wouldnt be stumbling back
@mauricelyons Its a really light weight and so his momentum takes him backwards. with a challenging weight it wouldnt stumble as the weight would be keeping him balanced. Right?
When the curious about the extreme hyperextension of the low back at the top... Is this necessary? It seems like it may be an overcompensation for the glutes not powering in to full hip extension.
Q: Regarding "rounding the upper back", Ive always been taught the exact opposite, to retract the scapula and lock the shoulders back with that lats packed for stability. What is the advantage to rounding the upper back? Thanks.
i never did the deadlift exercise , cause i got allota scare to damage my backs , but i know that this is an awesome exercise.....thanks for the tips guys
@mauricelyons I'd think it's because the weight is so light, and Dave is so well practiced, he is pulling back as hard as he would with a heavier weight, but the counterbalance (the teeter-totter) isn't there, so he stumbles back.
fantastic pointers. I had problems with my hip positioning and couldn´t execute all the good advice people had given me in my brain when I needed it. Now I just think "try to teabag the bar" when I set up and presto, my hips have moved in the right slot and my deadlift feels a lot healthier. thanks.
@mauricelyons He's used to exploding so hard on the lift that he's going off balance because the weight on the bar is so light for him. Throw a couple of hundred pounds on there and he wouldn't be stumbling back anymore.
@mauricelyons The weight is way to light for him, he is just using it for an example. He is exploding with such force that it is throwing him off balance. If he was using an appropriate amount of weight for the amount of explosive force he is exerting then he would not throw him self backwards and off balance.
Thanks for the video guys but i've got a quick question: Is it not dangerous for your lower back to push your pelvis so far forward when you complete the lift? And I thought you were supposed to keep your whole back arched when deadlifting - doesn't the rounding of the upper back typically sync with the rounding of the lower back? or is it something just to be aware of but its better to keep the upper back rounded forward? Thanks Ben
@xplr64 unnecessary effort is needed to lower it down. this is a demo/tutorial on the pull, not the lowering so it is not necessary. if you need a tutorial on lowering it.... just reverse the motion of the pull.....
@mauricelyons He's probably stumbling because he's probably used to deadlifting much more weight. sort of like when you show someone how to bench with just the bar, it feels like nothing.
I think it's because he is driving up and back during the lift and the weight on the bar is not enough to counter balance his 300 pounds falling backwards, hence the step back.
I am curious about the extreme hyperextension of the low back at the top... Is this necessary? It seems like it may be an overcompensation for the glutes not pushing forward and powering in to full hip extension.
"Remember what I said about the nutsack." One of the best quotes I've ever heard from a coach.

Awesome; I'm loving the series! Keep 'em coming.
fantastic videos.

really happy to hear so you think you can deadlift is coming at some point... it will probably be the best series on youtube like your two other.

@mauricelyons
he's used to having more weight on the bar to counterbalance
@mauricelyons Its a really light weight and so his momentum takes him backwards. with a challenging weight it wouldnt stumble as the weight would be keeping him balanced. Right?
Excellent tutorial, can't wait for "So you think you can deadlift?"
Question: Why are you stumbling back when you reach the top of your deadlift?

@mauricelyons momentum carries him backwards because the weight is so light

@mauricelyons I'm guessing because he's using such a light weight and pulling back with a lot of speed as if it were heavier.

Very helpful video thanks!
great video like every video that you post ;)

awesome video! very helpful!
@mauricelyons I'd say because the weight is so light
@mauricelyons He's probably stumbling because he's probably used to deadlifting much more weight. sort of like when you show someone how to bench with just the bar, it feels like nothing.
I think it's because he is driving up and back during the lift and the weight on the bar is not enough to counter balance his 300 pounds falling backwards, hence the step back.
thanks for the sagittal plane view
@mauricelyons or just to emphasize his point about pulling the weight back
I think his momentum and power just far exceeds the weight on the bar
good stuff. Alot of tips that advance guys may not be taking advantage of.
Damn, Dave is LEEEEAAAAAN!
Looking forward to so you think you can dead lift but I think it would be better if you had a so you think you can press video.
Looks like Rob borrowed some shoes from Sideshow Bob
@xplr64
Agreed. Is it really that necessary to exaggerate the dropping the bar like that?
Awsome :)
@mattjmm2 what the hell are you talking about
YES
Drop yer sac on the bar!
Awesome stuff, no wonder all they scream is ARCH ARCH ARCH ARCH.
Ha!
Waiting for so you think you can deadlift..
