    Incredible job, Dave. Not only is the content great, but each of the in-depth points is delivered in a very conversational and natural tone, but it has basically 0 fluff. I'm definitely going to be referencing back to this video in the future and sending it to my fellow lifter friends.

    Thank you so much! This is by far the most informative and extensive Sumo-Tutorial I’ve seen so far! Very impressive. I’ve learned that I tend to create far too much tension on the start of my movement and that my arms do the wrong things. Again, thank you! Can’t wait for my next Deadlift session to implement what I’ve learnt!

  • @LuisHernandez-yb4yd
    @LuisHernandez-yb4yd ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome video! I have just learned that I have a long torso and short legs. Basically making me anterior dominant and focusing more on the posterior chain, which led me to the Sumo deadlift. Would love to see a video on different body proportions and those effect certain lifts and training programs

    Hey David! Do you have any clients with hip flexor pain during sumo? Most programs just kill my hip flexors after a few weeks and on days the discomfort is bad I end up pulling with higher hips/more bent over than normal. (Can barely walk after some sets when its bad too.) I usually do 1x sumo 1x conv a week as a result but even then the issue pops up. Any general advice appreciated - always found your dl vids super helpful!

    • @BrazosValleyStrength
      @BrazosValleyStrength  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not enough to matter. Close grip bench is usually faster off the chest but that doesn't mean it's stronger. Look for balance and what feels strongest overall.

    hips as high and body as upright or hips as close to the bar and upright? or both..? thank you! this video is absolutely amazing!!

    • @BrazosValleyStrength
      @BrazosValleyStrength  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Both are true. But the first one is probably the easier one to visualize. But usually cueing for the hips to be close usually has people squat down. Hips being close is for sure the objective, but I find just cueing high hips and upper body as upright as possible tends to create a better balance in practice.

  • @mattgh2film

    Question: when you say press your feet into the floor, do you mean straight down? I’ve heard some advise “trying to spread the floor with your feet, with pressure through the heels and outer edge of the feet”. What do you think of this, what do you recommend is best?

    • @arocks1234567
      @arocks1234567 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      is it correct to say, rotate is when you go from a slightly more horizontal to a slightly more vertical torso position when you begin the lift?

      I really don't think his stance is wide at all. Seems to be right around the rings. But yes. His toe angle is still much more forward than what I would expect to work for most people with where his feet are.

    @oniofficial 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey man thanks for using our video (Front Banded Deadlifts). I just wonder if the language you're using is a bit too strong though - saying "never", "absolutely horrible", and "the worst thing ever" when referring to an exercise is a pretty hard stance to take and can run the risk of demonising exercise and cues for people.
    Context matters heavily in any exercise or cue, so we were a bit surprised when you said this! Totally get what you're saying about optimal position and movement though, so we're not disputing that. It's just important to point out that there are always exercises that (in the right context) can be used as external cues to help lifters achieve that optimal position.
    If the person is finding it difficult to find position (eg. not enough tension in the lats, armpits forward etc), why not use external cues like a front banded deadlift to help them feel what they need to feel? External cues like this one are generally pretty good at teaching people position, so why demonise this particular one? Are you saying all external cues are bad? Or is it just the context that you've seen it used?
    What are your thoughts on this? Our team respects your content so were just a bit surprised! It's a potentially irresponsible way to demonise exercise and exercise cues, which all have their place - in the right context.
