    Thanks for these drills, I went from feeling bulletproof doing grip and rip and lately my back has been very finicky, allowing me to deadlifts sometimes and sometimes can't even do singles with 80%. I think these pause drills may help that neurological component

    cant wait for the sumo version of this , although i guess this also applies to a degree to sumo pullers !

    Keep doing what your doing. I’ve been having Lower back pain on and off when doing deadlifts and could not pinpoint the reason why. This video helped me a lot.

    One reason I love the fusion program is it really helps build back rigidity. My back has never felt stronger. Those wide grip rdls were tough but really paying off. Beltless deadlift were impossible for me prior to the fusion program. But already repping out what I used to do with a belt.

    Interestingly enough, strengthening my squat relative to my DL completely fixed my back rounding in the conventional DL. I've noticed people who DL much more than they squat (John Haack, Pete Rubish, Chris Weist, Kevin Booey, Cailer Woolam, Konstantin etc.) generally experience more back rounding, while those who squat very close to what they DL (Russell Orhii, Eddie Hall, Hafthor Bjornsson, Ray Williams) tend to be able to maintain a straight back.
    This is probably because back rounding stems from your hip extensors (glutes/ hams) being too weak, so your body tries to shorten the hip extension moment arm of the movement by rounding.

      There’s some truth to what you’re saying but let me offer an unwinding of it a bit to explain more.
      So what you’re noticing is what I’ve defined as strength dominance. Pullers can never have a squat anywhere near their deadlift max due to posterior dominance and or usually long limbs. Short limbed/anterior dominant lifters like Russel and them can have a squat near their deadlift max because of their disposition to push rather than pull. I’ve essentially neglected my deadlift all of 2018-now to get my squat up and it barely helped 😂 meanwhile one set a week of deads and it got stronger lmao
      Anyway to your point about the hip extensors, I used to say the same thing but I actually completely disagree with that theory now. I believed weak hips caused back rounding and even have a video (which I should delete) about it. The issue with that theory is that it dictates the idea that because the hips can’t extend it pushes the demand to the back which makes no sense when you think about it. The back extensors 1 can’t extend the hips but 2 more importantly everyone I know with weak hips has a straight back and the opposite have bent backs. Squats don’t train your hips much at all so that also would negate the theory. All I did to fix mine which mine was extremely severe was focus on the low back.
      Now the reason russ and them pull so straight is because they’re usually quad dominant and their limiting factor is how much force the hips and overall posterior chain can muster as well as having a lower starting point relative to their anatomy than we do. The deadlift force they create is subpar to what their back can maintain. So in essence you are correct I think (this is really all just theory) In that having a squat near their deadlift is a defining factor because they’re so geared towards the squat their deadlift never reaches supra-maximal loads that the spinal muscles can’t resist.
      I’m half awake so hopefully this makes sense LMAO

    What is your opinion on good mornings Brendan? Are they a staple in your training and do they help deadlift?

  • @Jmack7861
    @Jmack7861 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If rounding causes you to fail around the knees, would you recommend doing more lockout work to be able to power through and unround your back up top, or more work at the bottom to increase efficiency of maintaining your starting position? I can see benefits of both, but what would you consider more important?

  • @DONQUIIIXOTE
    @DONQUIIIXOTE 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Could you do a vid on how to brace and keep tight lats when deadlifting with straps? I’m able to do those properly without straps but when t starting position is with my hands on the car it’s harder to do so at the start of the lift. 🙏🏾

      Grip the bar , try to rip the bar in half. So hands outside, rotate hands to outside. That Will keep Ur lats tight

    I have just recently added 5g (~10 pounds) to my deadlift and I have turned to a cat .. I had good experience recently with doing some accessories to address my weak points. I know that this is not a neurological thing for me, it's a weakness. So I was looking for some back exercises :D .. I just got more deadlifts. The problem with that is that I don't have all that much time to do plenty of extra deadlifts and deadlifts are so fatiguing that's why I like to do some machines at the end of the workout. Maybe I could do something light at the end of my deadlift session. Like pause deadlifts or block pulls.
