    I tell this to people all the time. Once the bar passes your knees, then you start to straighten out. Think of pushing the ground down with your legs and feet before that.

  • @voskresenie-
    @voskresenie- 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    something to note is that the perception while doing the lift is that your back is straightening the whole time, because it /is/ relative to legs, just not relative to the ground. if your legs straightened but your back remained at the same angle to your femurs, your back angle would be lowering relative to the floor. I think it's more likely that people will hit a wall trying to emulate his form than if they focused on pushing their feet through the floor and came to the same result independently.

  • @jakedragon8753
    @jakedragon8753 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Seems like a normal deadlift movement, Licis does a bit extra prior to the pull, main thing you want to do when you start the pull is have ur shins vertical to the bar and have ur muscles tight so you keep good positioning as you start the pull, too many are loose and the butt goes up too fast or back curves automatically

    @BigUriel ปีที่แล้ว +2

    These "deadlift like such and such" videos are pointless. People can only deadlift like themselves. Once you tick the boxes of 1) shoulders over bar and bar touching shins (and these will take care of themselves once the weight is heavy enough or you just lose your balance) and you keep your hips as low as you can throughout the movement then your body position is simply a function of your thigh/spine/arm length ratios, there's nothing else you can do about it. Even if you try to start with hips too low as in the example shown you'll immediately self-correct as soon as you start pulling because you knees are in front of the bar, they will necessarily have to move back (and the hips up) to let the bar pass through.

That would be like calling a squat a pull because you pull your hips through at the end. A squat is not a pull and a deadlift under no circumstances is a squat.

Squat plus thrust doesn't work for everyone and isn't a great general cue imo...
