Brian Alsruhe you are the GOAT! I especially can’t wait to try the head positioning information. I too had never heard these tips and I’ve watched A LOT of videos from a variety of channels. Goes to show you can never stop learning now matter how advanced you may think you are.
It’s cool to see a guy that teaches other people in the position of student. The humility and willingness to learn is a good reminder for all of us! Be strong and courageous!
The chin packing tip is just great. I got a small rep PR the first time I tried it, and what's even better, for the first time in a while my DLs actually felt pretty stable! I'm rewatching this now right before my DL workout today just so it's fresh in my mind.
23:05 “do you guys wanna?...” Mark - “...Kiss?” I was rolling😂 Can’t wait to see what is to come with this channel and your journey Brian! I love your content, keep killing it!
Thanks for this vid and introducing me to not only your vids, but Mark Bell's too. After a four year hiatus, I started lifting again late last year. In my quest for a 300lb deadlift, I've been looking at assistance exercises and better techniques. Mark's technique to get the body weight behind the bar quickly and pushing the hips forward helped me achieve my goal to pull 300 before I turn 71, in a couple months, with a 305 triple. Thanks gentlemen.
Its awesome to see brian get genuinely excited about marks tip about head back during the deadlift. Makes you realize old dogs can learn new tricks. Inspiring honestly. Thanks for the video gentlemen. Great content.
I feel like both of these guys are sincere, real and down to earth dudes. Even though Brian's videos are in your face and funny, in the role of pupil his humility shines.
Dead lifts are weird. It's the one lift where I may see huge variation in the amount of weight I can move depending on the day. If I'm doing a 1RM on a bench, press, or squat, I rarely miss the weight I'm trying to hit, and if I do it's only by 5 lbs, or so. And I also rarely go above my weight, and if I do, again it's by 5 lbs or so. The dead lift is a different story. On an off day I can miss the target weight by 20lbs, and on a really good day, I can exceed the target weight by 20lb. Even on volume weeks, and days, the amount of reps I can do varies workout to workout a lot more with the dead lift, than other lifts. I think maybe my form and technique is all over the place. I hope this video helps.
I used to think the same until someone pointed out to me that it's a similar percentage variation. I'm going to make up number but let's say your best bench ever is 225. Depending on the day you can probably hit 215 to 230. Which is a 2-4% variation. If your best deadlift is 465 then 2-4% variation is 10-20 pounds. Also, deadlifts tend to be more of a CNS based lift than the squat or deadlift so the variation tends to be slightly higher from what I've found closer to 5-10% which can be as much as 50 pounds depending on the day. A third reason that this might occur is people tend to push themselves harder on deadlifts in comparison to squat and bench. So if you're going for a new one rep max on deadlifts and your deadlift is 465, you're most likely going to attempt 475 then 495. Versus on a squat if your best is 365 then you're going to attempt 375 and then 385. On deadlifts let's say you get that 30 pound PR but it's a real grinder, now you're probably going to be nearer to that 50 pound variation depending on the day.
Pretty much either your peaking and testing at the wrong time or you can use prior data to figure when you actually hit a pr and what you did right.. Should check out Mike Turscherer and rts
Your talk about "the 2 weeker" and being injured is so true. I'm currently on my 3rd or 4th squat rebuild from a back injury! Brian enjoy the content man!
I always love seeing you team up with Mark making videos. The content is always solid and I learn a ton every time. Thanks for all you do in the community Brian!
Dude I'm digging your collaborations with other great lifters. It's so cool to see gym owners in their element. I was reading through the latest issue of Men's health and there pops up my big bro Brian towards the back how legit that your hard work is being recognized really enjoyed the deadlifting mastery there is always room to improve.
Watching deadlift tips from a pro like Mark is never old. I've never heard about the head thing that Mark brought up, I will definitely give it a go. Thanks Brian and Mark!
I always find it interesting when you see a lifter you’ve known for a while but only seen in context of themselves on camera and then you see them next to another lifter and realize their relative size. I’ve seen guys I thought weren’t that big such as Alan Thrall, then when he was standing next to Brian I realized how much bigger he must look like in real life. And now in this video, you can see just how buff Mark Bell actually is since Brian is such a beast. Just something I’ve been noticing lately - it’s truly impossible to judge someone’s size just based on the camera, even if you see them in the gym with reference points like barbells and plates and other people (that you’ve never met in person). I always wondered how Brian could possibly make the 231 weight class for strongman based on how big he looked, (although lean, I thought he had to be much bigger - but the leanness makes him look even bigger and I believe he said at one point he was 6’0 but I could be wrong so not a short guy by any means...) Now I can see that a bit more. Just an interesting thought I had admittedly completely off topic. Great video as always Brian. I hadn’t watched Mark or Alan’s content in years (not because I didn’t like them, I just drifted away to different channels) so I’m glad you’ve reintroduced me to them. They both are great content producers and athletes. It’s also very nice to see your channel taking off and finally getting the recognition it deserves. You’ve been putting out top quality content for years and it’s finally paying off. I expect it will only grow exponentially from here. Keep it up brother!!
Yeah I thought mark bell was kinda short and just really beefy because if you look at when he was a powerlifter he seemed really full of muscle, but now that he doesn't have it I thought he was just the average experienced lifter, but he is still huge, I thought Brian was huge too, I didn't know how big mark was until I saw them together. Imagine the world's strongest men..
wtfftw3000 being in the same room with someone like Brian Shaw must be a weird experience... i mean someone 450+ and 6’8 is like Sasquatch... The camera doesn’t do people justice
@@leftphilange69 I used to work with a guy who played as an offensive lineman in the NFL. He was 6'8'' and 400 lbs. After a few weeks, they don't seem so big.
Man, I am so glad I saw this. The setup cues with the head back and knees forward is something I would occasionally do on accident while pulling the slack out and get that weightless feeling but I could never fully replicate it consistently. Also, the sheer look of amazement on your face was perfect. That's definitely the face of someone who's been lifting for over a decade learning something new
I mean I guess Mark is still used to moving it (like a lot of huge guys do), simply because he used to be way bigger. At that size you have to move it otherwise a proper abdominal breath and core stabilization cannot be achieved.
Everybody would do well to watch this video. Incredibly profound and real with all that warm bubbly motivation to make shit happen💪 Mark Bell you are such an incredibly wise man. Thank you and thank you Brian for bringing this to us.
That "face behind the bar" queue is very interesting. I'm going to try it in my next deadlift session, for sure. And you can see how much Bell uses his hips on the drive as the bar actually bounces off of him when you're doing lower weight.
When you drop your hips down and in towards the bar, the slack comes out without having to pull with your arms. Gets you at an angle that sets up that leg press speed
Fantastic information! Glad you're one of those guys whose not afraid to go out and keep learning from people. On the sweaty-ness, I'm EXACTLY. THE. SAME! my shirt will get drenched just from doing a couple sets of barbell shrugs. Hyperhidrosis sucks but I think it gives us a healthier advantage compared to those who don't have it
The "head behind the bar" cue is essentially hitching at the top except all the way throughout the lift. Who woulda thought to use an instinctive last ditch effort as a cue.
Damn, the small glute/butt flex tip was brilliantly explained. I've had my shoulders collapse a bit on heavier reps/PR attempts... Always thought it was lat weakness/lack of lat flex or brace failing. Never even considered that I need to glute flex even HARDER. I'll give it a shot.
Interesting to see how Mark (who is a beast) sets up... his shins are a good distance away from the bar. He also drops his hips a fraction lower (than what Mark Rippetoe teaches) and does not talk about pushing the knees out. I guess this is what works for his body structure. Goes to show how different leverages, limb lengths etc. affect form.
This is an exxxellent fucking deadlifting video! long time ago ( cant remember where) I saw someone say you should push your head back during the deadlift for neck gains ( thicker neck) and it would also be more power. but most people tend to say you should tuck your chin and look at the floor.. so glad mark saying something I done for 3 years is valid! haha ^^
I never realized Brian didn't curse/swear until Mark got censored quite a few times. I guess it's because kids might be watching. Either way, great video Brian. Thanks for putting out quality material.
lol I figured that was the case. I wasn’t knocking it either, brother. Hope you didn’t take it that way. I just hadn’t ever realized you never swore in ur videos until today. Hope you’re doing well. Seems like you’re feeling a lot better and ur voice isn’t as scratchy. 👍👍
I've just got to the point I'm able to pull 405 for a double, and working on trying to improve my brace as I just find anything above 365 my back isn't fully straight (but it doesnt round more than my starting position) so this is a nice timed vid for me!
Here I am healing up with a new titanium shoulder. doctor says my heavy training days are over , yet here I am ready to learn. I’m gonna figure some way to train.
Definitely a lot of people have odd stances. Our new PT test in the army, the deadlift portion, the tall lanky guys have a really hard time getting into a position I feel is correct. Their setup is awkward and it’s hard to get them close to “correct!” I’m not an expert but i do what I can to help. Just very hard to fix the tall lanky guy
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial thanks! I’ll definitely have to use that advice. See if it helps them. A lot of these young guys never seen the inside of a gym before. It’s a work in progress but we will get them where they need to be, I Hope 🤞
I like taking my shoes off because it allows me to grip the bar a half inch wider. Also I think of it as a push motion, not pull. Your pushing the earth away with your legs.
get Duffin to coach your squat and dead and you have easy 2000 total Brian, in fact some of the cues in this video are straight up from video of Mark getting coached by Duffin himself. I come back to that deadlift video every few months to repeat the cues. If i setup right on dl, bar will come off the floor. before i start pulling, even with the 405 loaded already. Have to be patient with setup
Eddie Hall's tips helped me a lot. Pushing the knees out against the arms forces activation of my glutes, protecting my lower back and giving me a much cleaner lift.
I remember that you used to do towel under the chin thing on DL. Isn´t that pretty much the same? Anyways, for me it doesn´t come naturally and i easily forget to "tuck" my chin, but it makes a huge difference when i do. Everything kinda clicks
I want to get stronger but I'm wondering does that only happen if you progressively lift more and more or can that happen by lifting a moderate weight like 250 lbs for more reps? Is that only going to increase my gains or will that make me progressively stronger? My current gym only has a smith machine and so my deadlifts can only get to not quite 400 lbs max. My current gym is Planet Fitness, so eventually, if I want to lift over 400 lbs, I would need to either go to a more hardcore gym or build my own weight set, I'm guessing. Which will get me to my goal or would both or either?
The dont shit your pants rule is hard af. I was doing sets with 365lbs this morning and let a fuckin grumbler loose on the way up on my last rep of my 2nd set lmfao
@@M3diaConsumer Alan Thrall's video is how I learned to deadlift. Thing is though I have small feet about size 9 US mens feet. When I do put the barbell directly over mid foot it gives me barely any space between the barbell and my shin, making my shins almost vertical. Should I push the bar a bit further out?
DANGER DOG Are you sure you are correctly identifying where you mid foot is? Because with size 9 feet the bar should still be about an inch from your shins. In any case, you do not want to move the bar so that it is in front of your mid foot. If the bar really is that close to your shins, you are going to have to adapt your form to compensate. If that means your shins are more vertical, that’s fine

Now thats how you time stamp
Brian Alsruhe awesome time stamps dude
Lol I think this was a miscommunication, he was saying drive your head back at the top of the lift but it was misinterpreted as a part of the set-up
It’s cool to see a guy that teaches other people in the position of student. The humility and willingness to learn is a good reminder for all of us!
Be strong and courageous!
With Smelly’s advice, Brian is gona be pulling 800 soon.
only if he's on the mexican supplements

My goodness you're gorgeous 😫🤤

Good to see colabs.
Thanks so much Brian and Mark! Ill definitely be applying these to my DL.

Interesting to see how Mark (who is a beast) sets up... his shins are a good distance away from the bar. He also drops his hips a fraction lower (than what Mark Rippetoe teaches) and does not talk about pushing the knees out. I guess this is what works for his body structure. Goes to show how different leverages, limb lengths etc. affect form.
Great content as always, loving the colbs 💪👊
Mark is such a cool cat. Great video!
Tomorrow happens to be deadlift day, nice!
Great info, nice to see your always learning to. I will try these tips tomorrow. 👍
This is an exxxellent fucking deadlifting video! long time ago ( cant remember where) I saw someone say you should push your head back during the deadlift for neck gains ( thicker neck) and it would also be more power.
but most people tend to say you should tuck your chin and look at the floor.. so glad mark saying something I done for 3 years is valid! haha ^^
Had the chin tuck realization last week during speed day. The difference is unreal for sure.
Love this !
When you drive your hips forward so hard you almost flip the barbell into another dimension 😂🤣😂🤣 Smelly Bell!
the chin tuck thing makes so much sense. your head weighs ~10lbs. why would you wanna let it hang out 4" in front of the bar??
I never realized Brian didn't curse/swear until Mark got censored quite a few times. I guess it's because kids might be watching. Either way, great video Brian. Thanks for putting out quality material.
I swear plenty, just not on my channel because I have some young viewers
lol I figured that was the case. I wasn’t knocking it either, brother. Hope you didn’t take it that way. I just hadn’t ever realized you never swore in ur videos until today. Hope you’re doing well. Seems like you’re feeling a lot better and ur voice isn’t as scratchy. 👍👍
Strongest duo ever

That freaking head thing is amazing it actually forces shoulders and upper back in correct position
Love Ed Coan with Mark Bell.
Nice video Brian! I'm going to try the backing head thing today.
Brian on your channel you did the towel chin tuck to train the same mechanics except for the slamming your head back, but you've covered the chin tuck
Great Video!
Love your channel, great content :)
That was a great video, thank you
Seems like Mark bell is a wwe fan. Lol love it when he tells Brian to set it up again... “look likes a finishing move” 😂
He used to be a wrestler

Their setup is awkward and it’s hard to get them close to “correct!” I’m not an expert but i do what I can to help. Just very hard to fix the tall lanky guy

imma try that head thing.
Bro I love your fuking chanel. How you organice everithing, the timestamps...men everything is damn perfect.
80 kg deadlift now gonna blast it up now
First comment keep it up man!
So I’m not supposed to drag the bar against my body?
most important cue.... dont poop your pants. dont poop your pants dont poop your pants. and if you do hope the compression shorts hold it in
Imho Brian's best lifts were at 20:16....butt down, but also weight back on his ankles.....you didnt mention it that way, am I correct?
Great video. Really appreciate that you edited the bad words. Most people take pride in using potty language.
Eddie Hall's tips helped me a lot. Pushing the knees out against the arms forces activation of my glutes, protecting my lower back and giving me a much cleaner lift.
I remember that you used to do towel under the chin thing on DL. Isn´t that pretty much the same? Anyways, for me it doesn´t come naturally and i easily forget to "tuck" my chin, but it makes a huge difference when i do. Everything kinda clicks
Brian: "You tear a little bit of muscle, you get progress. Tear a millimeter more, you go to the hospital."
Mark: " Let's add more weight." 😁👌
I want to get stronger but I'm wondering does that only happen if you progressively lift more and more or can that happen by lifting a moderate weight like 250 lbs for more reps? Is that only going to increase my gains or will that make me progressively stronger? My current gym only has a smith machine and so my deadlifts can only get to not quite 400 lbs max. My current gym is Planet Fitness, so eventually, if I want to lift over 400 lbs, I would need to either go to a more hardcore gym or build my own weight set, I'm guessing. Which will get me to my goal or would both or either?
Smelly has similar dl form to Clarence0
The dont shit your pants rule is hard af. I was doing sets with 365lbs this morning and let a fuckin grumbler loose on the way up on my last rep of my 2nd set lmfao
2 sminutes in I realize that shirt is not dark green it is drenched in sweat!
Looks like John Cena, sets up like the Rock, Arms like Hulk Hogan.
My man forsenCD, let's lift some fake weights yayayayayaya
I wish this video was 2 hours long!
Was Brian in a water fight before this?
I'd love to see Ed Coan or Dave Tate coach Brian through the big 3. I bet Brian would be crushing records
Your sweat level rivals mine. I have many hats with bills that are white with sodium from sweating so much. 🤣
I'm quite sweaty myself. I drip all over the floor and my shirts get soaked. I feel bad for anyone who has to use a bench after I'm done with it
My upper back rounds when I do a hook grip...wtheck...
Becoming Godsize smd
Brian, you can try to check your adrenals :) that can be the cause of your sweating. 24 hours saliva test
So people have been saying to try and keep shins as vertical as possible. I suppose this is not the best advice?
DANGER DOG yeah the shins shouldn’t stay vertical. Watch Alan Thrall’s deadlift tutorial. I feel it’s the best, simplest deadlift 101 lesson
@@M3diaConsumer Alan Thrall's video is how I learned to deadlift. Thing is though I have small feet about size 9 US mens feet. When I do put the barbell directly over mid foot it gives me barely any space between the barbell and my shin, making my shins almost vertical. Should I push the bar a bit further out?
DANGER DOG Are you sure you are correctly identifying where you mid foot is? Because with size 9 feet the bar should still be about an inch from your shins. In any case, you do not want to move the bar so that it is in front of your mid foot. If the bar really is that close to your shins, you are going to have to adapt your form to compensate. If that means your shins are more vertical, that’s fine
Damn Mark is gettin lean
Good vid!
Curious though. Why is the word 'shit' censored? This is not catholic school 😂
My niece watches the videos.
