Last time I dead lifted I hurt my back doing sets of 245 lbs. I was wearing sneakers not, not setting up properly with my feet, grip, taking the slack out, no weight belt, and not driving like in a leg press with my legs. Thank you. I just repped 315 5x after recovering from that injury and it didnt bother me at all. Felt like I could keep going. I was nervous of the excruciating nerve pain in my lower back again, but went for it and I couldn't be happier. I'm planning to be smarter about my deadlifts and continue to use your research to aid me in preventing long term injury. Thanks for all your hard work that has impacted my life.
+Kirill Grishin Gingers (people with red hair) have no soul. (Southpark joke) So this guy said that his Ginger Shoes have no soles. I hope you get it now.
@n00bie 1. So your answer is no, you don't have a point. You're just excusing cringe with no real logic. 2. Just because someone can do something doesn't mean they understand it. Take a good football player vs a good coach. 3. If you think he's natty and 8th in the world at lifting anything I've got some news for you. 4. You sound like a hick. I'm not "talking shit". I'm pointing out his intro is crigey and arrogant as hell. A PhD and a big squat have nothing to do with that.
Wow, this is by far the most instructive deadlift video I've seen out here. Thanks so much! I will favorite this video and watch it a few more times as I increase the quality of my deadlift in the upcoming weeks. I'm curious to see if my pb will go up :)
Have had this video saved for years and many times come back to it as I get ready to deadlift. Still the best primer on deadlift ive ever seen. Kudos Layne!!!
Dr. Layne Norton is the truth. People can throw shade all they want at the end of the day he's a smart dude with credentials from left to right and a flat out beast. Doctorate degree in nutritional science, world record holding powerlifter, pro-bodybuilder and so forth. I like how he keeps it 100% and backs up his opinion with actual science not just hear say or bro talk. I'm grateful for his programming and I thank him for his dedication. My big 3 lifts are sitting raw right now at 505lbs bench press, 700lbs squat and 750lbs deadlift all from following his advice in the gym along with hard work.
After separately having a PT and physio provide hands on guidance for dead lifts and literally watching dozens of TH-cam clips, the seemingly simple pointers outlined here have almost immediately proved more valuable. Thank you!!
I deadlifted just fine this AM with my worn out New Balance efforts. Tell you what, you get the slippers. Just make sure the colour matches your purse.
Things you pointed out were pretty helpful when I acted out in gym. Thanks to your easy and scientific tips, I was able to work out better and also enjoy working out without any injuries. You are the greatest teacher. Thanks a lot. From South Korea.
Layne, this video, and all of your videos, give me so much information on form and technique! You are the man! I've started following your page and look forward to more from you! Great inspiration! Always wanna head right back to the gym after watching your vids! Keep up the great work!
Never tried a deadlift in my life. Being short with short arms its hard to get motivated. Hearing it from friends is hard to vision it when they are taller and have experience. Thank you for the step by step tutorial, will definitely take it light and easy.
Short people like ourselves usually have a faster muscle mass gain, I even think that we progress easier than tall people because of the shorter distance. Just go for it! Look at Jeff Nippard and Phil Daru.

i don't deadlift anymore, but when i did, i much preferred the touch and go than waiting between reps... i did higher rep ranges (never lower than six, most sets leading up to it in the 8-10 plus range), the thing is deadlifts are HARD and i have only a certain amount of work that my body is capable of in one set... let's say that amount is 20 seconds of work (don't know exactly, never measured)... whether i wait between reps or i don't, i won't be able to work longer than that with the maximum weight i can move... so by going without pause i can get an extra rep or 2 in that set... you don't have to bounce the weight at the bottom... in fact all i do is touch the plates to such a light degree that the weight never stops burdening my back and legs (never unloads)... FOR ME PERSONALLY it was a great body builder move... that's A LOT OF WORK with heavy(relatively) weight and no rest... it got me in shape QUICK compared to other exercises
I've observed people at my gym doing deadlifts, not one (that I've witnessed) has engaged the lats. . . This is perhaps the most useful tip in this video
Not being a hater, but judging from this video Layne reaaalllly doesn't have the great of a deadlift technique. He get's a huge amount of thoracic rounding and even some in the lumbar region too (mega bad). This is NOT how you deadlift - cervical/emphasized kyphosis of the upper spine is viable (and used effectively by numerous elite lifters) but anything lower down than that has a series degrading effect on the cartridge plates that separate the spinal vertebrae. Continued lifting in this fashion dramatically increases the risk of a one-way trip to snap city, no question about it . Read basically any literature anywhere on the subject if you want clarification of this.
+Jack Parkinson Yet I still haven't met a single strong Powerlifter who got hurt rounding his back. For some people getting somewhat rounded provides better leverages and intra abdominal pressure, I'm like that too. Most Powerlifters pull with rounded backs (thoracic and lumbar) for years and never get injuries from that. Is there more risk? Perhaps. It should only be done once your back is strong enough to handle it, I started doing it once I could pull 500 and haven't looked back ever since. In my opinion (and most likely the opinion of a lot of world record holding Powerlifters) it's okay to round whatever part of your spine as long as it's not in complete end range flexion and it's properly braced. Layne has been rounding his back for years now, over a decade, when exactly is his back gonna snap? Why aren't most world record holders in wheelchairs? It's always the guy pulling
+Jack Parkinson the dude is over hand deadliftings over 500lbs. whatever he is doing is clearly working. And as said earlier a lot of competitive lifters round their backs, but they have so much muscle mass that helps reduce injury.
I know this is little but i want to give props to the video editor. I thought at 11:28 where you dropped the bar and it went back to you in your personal gym was a nice touch. Same goes for the music. kudos
Layne!!! wow, another great video, and your timing is excellent! I'm just getting back into dead lifts (and squats) and I've never been sure of my technique....this is going to help big time. Thanks!!!
It’s because of less oxygen supply to your brain. It happened to me and I did faint on spot. It was quite an embarrassment for me to remember. It made me humble, though.
Everything this guy said at the beginning was on how to make the lift easier , for me I'm trying to not make things easy . I'm not an ego lifter I want to make as much gains to my muscle mass as possible. Other than that great video man
+Will Kennard No shit (no pun intended) I had to shit during my last set this past Monday and I thought for sure I'd shit myself. It's the worst part of deadlifts for me...
+Carl Schmidt Wait. You mean you actually shit urself or you had to? Just go drink some cafe 1 - 2 hours before you deadlift so you can shit before you go lifting and won't have to while training xD

+Chiper Claudiu Valentin lol. Even though this information is really great and useful but I couldn't stop but laugh at his slight round back. He is contradicting himself.
I feel somewhat stupid passing along advice on a Layne Norton video.....but I think the explanation of the sumo is pretty bare bones, wihch isn't great because I think it's a more technical lift. There's more than just "Spread the floor and lockout" My change would be to make the Sumo a 2 part lift - Spread the floor to break the ground and from that point focus on snapping the knees in and lock them out - then pull back to finish the lift by squeezing the glutes. Locking out the hips too early like as mentioned will leave you in a terrible position that will be almost impossible to lockout with.
+Matt Matt Ya, that was literally my first thought, when he started to speak about different footwear. Just do them without shoes, it feels a lot better imo.
In Norwegian gyms you are obliged to take of your shoes inside the gym. If you're gonna wear shoes inside you have to bring inside-shoes. I always work out in socks
Kek you're doing it wrong if that's the main area you're activating. Either that or your lower back isn't as strong as it should be. The primary movers should be your leg's posterior chain.
You are correct, it is a compound lift, BUT the primary antagonists are lumbar, glutes and hams (i.e. Posterior Chain). You can do deads during back day or leg day, either is fine, but you shouldn't mix squats and deads.
+Kate Mccann Whenever I show someone new how to dead lift, I always show them sumo and I always emphasize (2) key points: 1) Bracing your core / engaging your abs 2) Do not round your lower back
great vid. I have never done a dead lift. I suffer from a bad lower back. so I have alway been afraid to do them and do them wrong. so I will start very light and use the information you gave here thank you.
have a spotter use a wooden rod as a ruler - there is a "yo Elliot" video about this.. this guy is actually full of crap.. i've dead-lifted 600lbs raw and 99% of it is not socks, slippers and belts, -- i've never given a shsh about that - it is grip and technique. he spends 15s talking about technique and 5m talking about slippers -- whaaa? . I don't care who you are a) most people have an imbalance with their glutes /hamstring / lower back - (the triple muscle pairing that does the work ) - they have an imbalance simply based on physical proportions God gave them - so learn yours and work within it, and b) if you push 500lbs it'll be the grip that gives you the most hassle. buy a captains of crush gripper and chalk it up baby
+Nathaniel Watkins it depends on your build.. long body people are doing more of a squat (I belong to this group, it's harder for this group, my gut is compressed when I drive up, my knees are over 20 degrees bent).. short body people are doing more of a straight leg.. u gotta know who you are. a good rule of thumb is where the bar sits when ur upright. for me the bar is by my balls so that's very high and means I have short arms.. whereas my mate is half was down his quad.. it's not a big deal.. typically you are naturally a squatter (long body) or a deadlifter (long levers) but I do deadlifts BECAUSE I find squatting easy
Dead lifting is probably the most complex lift a person can do. Alot can go wrong. One rule of thumb to follow is if your lower (lumbar spine) back gets sore or fatigued while dead lifting you're doing something wrong
Layne is the man! Solid tutorial. Been working on my sumo to emphasize on my hamstrings and inner quads. I still prefer regular deadlifts. Sumo is cheating lol
Wow I have learnt a lot watching this video and to my horror for many years have not used correct form. My current best it 210kg on deadlift but never in my life have I took slack outta the bar or engaged my lats. God knows how I have never gained a serious injury but it probably explains why my lower back felt so fatigued on when I decide to go heavy. I feel quite embarrassed now thinking about it. Thanks for the great video I look forward to using your tips during my future deadlift sessions.
RebirthFitness anybody who pulls conventional should wear deadlift slippers in my opinion. For sumo you need a shoe that has a thin sole but also provides some sort of side support for your ankle not to roll/slip. Some good choices are wrestling shoes, SABO deadlift shoes, Metal shoes (the ones that Dan Green has), etc.
If form is a problem i suggest rack pulls , i have had back surgery i find that rack pulls are a lot better .i still deadlift with good form but i never go over 315 on DL , over 315 i rack pull , i am all natural at 57 years of age i tried a lot of thing all turn out to be bad for my health ,now i just use omega -3's and a multivitamin and whey protein to fill in between meals 3 full meals 2 protein shakes by the way i do old school workouts full body i use to use a splits but ran in to recovery issues , full body gives me the time i need to recover 3 day , squats , beach, Overhead press, DL both kinds , pull up , chins, t-bar row and other rows , biceps curls all kinds , triceps pushdowns , dips, skull crushers , close grip bench press for triceps, calf raise seated and standing , i don't do all the exercises in one day i split them up over a 3 day workout , 4 sets of heavy 5 to 8 reps , 4 to 5 sets 8 to 10 medium, 2 to 3 sets of 15 reps light day. compound movement are my bread and butter , if you never tried a full body tried it , Old school lifer wasn't wrong you can build good mass and muscle with full body , If you don't think so check out JaRon fit and leroy colbert on youtube. LIft hard and be safe , DO it right for longevity.
+Gergely Sárfi As in pulling the bar under enough tension that the moment you start the lift the bar comes up too. All bars (especially an old bar with wear and tear) have a small amount of play in them such minor as bends/run out, slight radial play on the bearings (if they have them), plus theres a small clearance between the inside diameter of the plates and the outside diameter of the bar ends. Next time you have a bar on the floor thats loaded up with plates, give the bar a jiggle up and down and you'll feel the play in it!
no its not. In competition rounded back is allowd. also when executing a sumo deadlift its super hard to have a completely straight back. He does it 100% correctly.
Thank you so much. Hurt my back due to wrong technique. Im a 54 year old woman who uses barbells for developing body strength and to rehabilitate my spine
So go make one yourself and see if you get even 10% of the views this one has, mister expert. This also isnt your channel... No one gives a rats nuts what u think...

no joke,,, there is a vid of a guy in competition that slams it on his pinky toe.
That is exactly what I was thinking!
Glad im not the only one who notices that
oh man me too!!
I cringe at the end of each rep

@n00bie I have one too. Doesn't mean you get a free cringe pass.
@n00bie do you have a coherent argument?
@n00bie 1. So your answer is no, you don't have a point. You're just excusing cringe with no real logic.
2. Just because someone can do something doesn't mean they understand it. Take a good football player vs a good coach.
3. If you think he's natty and 8th in the world at lifting anything I've got some news for you.
4. You sound like a hick. I'm not "talking shit". I'm pointing out his intro is crigey and arrogant as hell. A PhD and a big squat have nothing to do with that.

Deadlifts were tough for me to get into but now they are my favorite!
Dr. Layne Norton is the truth. People can throw shade all they want at the end of the day he's a smart dude with credentials from left to right and a flat out beast.

Yeah, ain't gonna buy some fucking ballet shoes for deadlifting, I do fine with sneakers.

+keekee bojangles ive pulled 600 in sneakers, i dont wear anything else. im not against better footwear i just dont have the funds
+Adam Zepeda i just don't even wear shoes lol. I just have grippy socks and even those work. Then again im only pulling 405...

Easily one of the best videos I've seen! One question: your opinion on split grip?
+Kyle Ford it works but you should change which hand is underhand for each set to build equal strength
+T.M. Samuels thank you!
Also, the most common deadlift injury is tearing the bicep tendon in your 'underhand-grip' arm when using a mixed grip, so be careful!

Why when I did deadlifts I felt I was going to faint? I was feeling lighgheaded for 15 minutes had to sit.
same, how about now?
You probably had a mild concussion because of over straining the weights. Do less reps and lower the weights.
It’s because of less oxygen supply to your brain.
It happened to me and I did faint on spot. It was quite an embarrassment for me to remember. It made me humble, though.

Excellent video - the definitive deadlift video on YT. Even advanced lifters can learn from this as a refresher.
Try to watch Ed Coan and Chris Duffin's videos, they are world record holders you will find lot of information and techniques in the videos.
talks about straight back...does with rounded back. how awfull !
+Chiper Claudiu Valentin Nice videos man
+Farid Abuid thanks man
Chiper Claudiu Valentin How did you get them to turn invisible?
haha nice one !
+Chiper Claudiu Valentin lol. Even though this information is really great and useful but I couldn't stop but laugh at his slight round back. He is contradicting himself.
I feel somewhat stupid passing along advice on a Layne Norton video.....but I think the explanation of the sumo is pretty bare bones, wihch isn't great because I think it's a more technical lift. There's more than just "Spread the floor and lockout"
My change would be to make the Sumo a 2 part lift - Spread the floor to break the ground and from that point focus on snapping the knees in and lock them out - then pull back to finish the lift by squeezing the glutes. Locking out the hips too early like as mentioned will leave you in a terrible position that will be almost impossible to lockout with.
Equipment needed for a deadlift...a bar with weights.
Best deadlift video out there hands down well done
deadlift barefoot
+Matt Matt Ya, that was literally my first thought, when he started to speak about different footwear.
Just do them without shoes, it feels a lot better imo.
In Norwegian gyms you are obliged to take of your shoes inside the gym. If you're gonna wear shoes inside you have to bring inside-shoes. I always work out in socks
Oliver M. Canstree Japan also requires inside shoes I learned the hard way lol
Melissa T it was a good thing I brought a spare pair of shoes when I visited lol. Also you can’t workout if you have a tattoo.
thanks for the breakdown, i will re watch multiple times
Deadlift is not a back workout though. It's a full body lift that should be mainly aimed at the hamstrings and glutes.
Kek you're doing it wrong if that's the main area you're activating. Either that or your lower back isn't as strong as it should be. The primary movers should be your leg's posterior chain.
What is making you hunch down and lift your body up into the air then, your Glutes and Hamstrings? HAHAHA
you should not be hunching down
You are correct, it is a compound lift, BUT the primary antagonists are lumbar, glutes and hams (i.e. Posterior Chain). You can do deads during back day or leg day, either is fine, but you shouldn't mix squats and deads.
If you feel it mainly in your back then you're doing it wrong and you will hurt yourself. Lift with your legs and not your back people.
*Inspirational video. Thanks.*
*Defo getting back into my deads!!*
i'm new to deadlifting and reallllllly need to do it but i'm worried i'm not gonna do it right & hurt myself
+Kate Mccann
Whenever I show someone new how to dead lift, I always show them sumo and I always emphasize (2) key points:
1) Bracing your core / engaging your abs
2) Do not round your lower back
+Steve Tran wish number 2 was as easy as everyone says lol. I get told all the time to not round it, but I just keep rounding itttttttttttttt....
+s0ccer96 especially where he shows deadlifts using a shirtless beginner.
so many words to talk. just straight to the point
2:08 Imagine 500+ pounds landing on your toe
great vid. I have never done a dead lift. I suffer from a bad lower back. so I have alway been afraid to do them and do them wrong. so I will start very light and use the information you gave here thank you.
Layne's videos should be mandatory before anyone steps into the gym
nope
This is the best explanation ever given on Deadlift tutorial.
How do know if im rounding my back or if I have proper form??
Record yourself during your lifts to check your form!
Video yourself.
have a spotter use a wooden rod as a ruler - there is a "yo Elliot" video about this.. this guy is actually full of crap.. i've dead-lifted 600lbs raw and 99% of it is not socks, slippers and belts, -- i've never given a shsh about that - it is grip and technique. he spends 15s talking about technique and 5m talking about slippers -- whaaa? . I don't care who you are a) most people have an imbalance with their glutes /hamstring / lower back - (the triple muscle pairing that does the work ) - they have an imbalance simply based on physical proportions God gave them - so learn yours and work within it, and b) if you push 500lbs it'll be the grip that gives you the most hassle. buy a captains of crush gripper and chalk it up baby
+Nathaniel Watkins it depends on your build.. long body people are doing more of a squat (I belong to this group, it's harder for this group, my gut is compressed when I drive up, my knees are over 20 degrees bent).. short body people are doing more of a straight leg.. u gotta know who you are. a good rule of thumb is where the bar sits when ur upright. for me the bar is by my balls so that's very high and means I have short arms.. whereas my mate is half was down his quad.. it's not a big deal.. typically you are naturally a squatter (long body) or a deadlifter (long levers) but I do deadlifts BECAUSE I find squatting easy
lmao you find squatting easy? raise the weight/reps bruh no exercise should be easy if done right
Great, great guide. Just what I needed.
Thank you!
alot to take in
you dont say
Dead lifting is probably the most complex lift a person can do. Alot can go wrong. One rule of thumb to follow is if your lower (lumbar spine) back gets sore or fatigued while dead lifting you're doing something wrong
Layne is the man! Solid tutorial. Been working on my sumo to emphasize on my hamstrings and inner quads. I still prefer regular deadlifts. Sumo is cheating lol
You always want to talk with your arms curled to maximize "I'm buff" effect.
hahaha
Pat Daddy says the one who is flexing in their profile pic 😂
Wow I have learnt a lot watching this video and to my horror for many years have not used correct form. My current best it 210kg on deadlift but never in my life have I took slack outta the bar or engaged my lats. God knows how I have never gained a serious injury but it probably explains why my lower back felt so fatigued on when I decide to go heavy. I feel quite embarrassed now thinking about it. Thanks for the great video I look forward to using your tips during my future deadlift sessions.
You forgot to say doctor at the beginning of the video
u always find someone with so much info.... great watch did not blink at all for the full 12 minutes of the video...
You don't need shoes.
+thejokeriscool55 You need some type of footwear if you are a competitive Powerlifter
+thejokeriscool55 Have fun with your perpetual foot fungal infection.
+Farid Abuid Deadlift slippers?
RebirthFitness anybody who pulls conventional should wear deadlift slippers in my opinion. For sumo you need a shoe that has a thin sole but also provides some sort of side support for your ankle not to roll/slip. Some good choices are wrestling shoes, SABO deadlift shoes, Metal shoes (the ones that Dan Green has), etc.
If form is a problem i suggest rack pulls , i have had back surgery i find that rack pulls are a lot better .i still deadlift with good form but i never go over 315 on DL , over 315 i rack pull , i am all natural at 57 years of age i tried a lot of thing all turn out to be bad for my health ,now i just use omega -3's and a multivitamin and whey protein to fill in between meals 3 full meals 2 protein shakes by the way i do old school workouts full body i use to use a splits but ran in to recovery issues , full body gives me the time i need to recover 3 day , squats , beach, Overhead press, DL both kinds , pull up , chins, t-bar row and other rows , biceps curls all kinds , triceps pushdowns , dips, skull crushers , close grip bench press for triceps, calf raise seated and standing , i don't do all the exercises in one day i split them up over a 3 day workout , 4 sets of heavy 5 to 8 reps , 4 to 5 sets 8 to 10 medium, 2 to 3 sets of 15 reps light day. compound movement are my bread and butter , if you never tried a full body tried it , Old school lifer wasn't wrong you can build good mass and muscle with full body , If you don't think so check out JaRon fit and leroy colbert on youtube. LIft hard and be safe , DO it right for longevity.
hey guys! what does "pulling the slack out of the bar" mean? thanks
+Gergely Sárfi As in pulling the bar under enough tension that the moment you start the lift the bar comes up too. All bars (especially an old bar with wear and tear) have a small amount of play in them such minor as bends/run out, slight radial play on the bearings (if they have them), plus theres a small clearance between the inside diameter of the plates and the outside diameter of the bar ends.
Next time you have a bar on the floor thats loaded up with plates, give the bar a jiggle up and down and you'll feel the play in it!
+Josh Hardy thans a lot for the extensive answer! have a nice day!
@@joshhardy188 you won't ever put enough weight on it to worry about it.
tbh this is the the best videos on this. thanks
His conventional deadlift techniques suck. His lower back is rounded even in demo.
Jeff Bear that's how I ruptured my disc
no its not. In competition rounded back is allowd. also when executing a sumo deadlift its super hard to have a completely straight back. He does it 100% correctly.
By Spernes that’s why he has a herniated disk
because he is lifting really heavy . Besides it's still a quite neutral position.
Excellent advice. The only video an amateur gym bro needs to master the deadlift 👏 👏
okay so slippers and knee socks...
serious though, knee socks help a ton, better than bloody shins
Thank you so much. Hurt my back due to wrong technique. Im a 54 year old woman who uses barbells for developing body strength and to rehabilitate my spine
only me seeing his rounded back at 1:31. I'd say you are not in a position to teach anyone
He has a 700+ pound deadlift and a world record squat, I'd rethink your comment.
Yahtzee008 true
a really well done video, thank you!
