Also, so glad you mentioned the hip hinge- keeps the spine more neutral. Great point that's usually missed or not really discussed much, but it's, like, huge. Thanks, again.
I was searching for a tutorial for a friend that's beginning to pull, the content is sooo good that I sent it on the first 30 seconds! Thank you for the effort, it is suuuuuper helpful
Very refreshing to see a charismatic woman do a tutorial like this on a gym routine ❤ She just may be leaning forward a tad too much? Like not wedging enough. I don't know, still figuring it out myself and only observing.
I tend to shy away from a deadlift due to lower back issues. I have injured my back on one with poor form. What is a good lower back friendly excercise to replace the deadlift?
I just stopped by to say hi. Was subbed to this channel when it had under 10k subs. What a strong strong friend Meg is. Be a million in another year or so 💪
I've been having a lot of trouble with deadlifts recently. I think I'll try sumo bc maybe it will help me with my back issues. Thanks for the tips QUEEN
How about trap bar deadlifts? Meg has a great video on it, it’s saved my back and I can lift waaay heavier with it cause not so much pressure there. I love it!
Meg! Would you please make a video on deadlifting/core workouts with an abdominal fascial tear? Right now I'm avoiding them (besides ab vacuums and dead bugs as physio) since I got an epigastric hernia from deadlifting. Overdid it after I got myself some lifting straps, lifted heavier and too many reps... bummer. Would greatly appreciate your insights so I can (hopefully) get back to deadlifting sooner!
I've been using Stronger by the Day for a year now and it's honestly so amazing. Thank you so much MegSquats! I love the app and I love your content!!! The Student Sparks podcast talks a lot about working out so if you ever want a promotion let us know :)
Meg, you are awesome! Been a SBTD user for awhile now and especially LOOOOVED this macrocycle - my DL is 225 now and I feel strong af!! I would LOVE to see a video about your recommendations for body maintenance outside of the gym - i.e. recovery and how to ease these tight muscles. I try to do regular massages (as money allows hahaha), but is there anything else you recommend? Yoga?? Thanks always for being a real honest to God human, never a weirdly fake fit-fluencer.
Newbe to your app, and I certainly appreciate all the demo videos, and easy to swap out exercises. This is such a great program, you take all the guess work out of the equation. Thank you!
if I only feel my glutes a little bit when I barbell squat will my glutes still grow from squatting ? Because I was told if don’t you feel your glutes that much when squatting it won’t grow
you cant imagine how big my grin was when i saw your name!!! not gonna info dump but its just been a long time ive had a chance to reconnect with my hobby/love of fitness. and am happy to have a second chance to get back to it. making it over the hump of gymseparation
I know compound exercises are very important as they target multiple muscles at once. Bench press is "mainly" for the chest, squat is "mainly" for the legs, but I don't really understand what's the point of deadlift? I have never done deadlift. What does deadlift really target? I'm so confused. Do you recommend I start doing deadlifts as part of my training routine?
@@TheFaro2011 what if I do bend over row for back? The only reason is the only compound exercise that seems to bother my bad so much and cause me so much pain and soreness is only Deadlift. I don't have any problem with any other isolated or compound body building exercise. I just don't want to injure myself if this deadlift is not super necessary.
Looking to strengthen butt, legs, and core. However, I've got a disc (L5-S1) and sciatica. Is there a way back to deadlifts (even light weights?) or is it too risky and I should just forget about it and focus on other things??? Thanks! REally good video.
Personally I use straps as a safety device. My grip is strong enough that I can do sets of 10 Romanian deadlifts with my 10RM with little trouble on my grip. But I'm almost 40 and not super consistent with my training so it's easy for me to have a messed up back for a few weeks if I lose my form during a deadlift set. Although my grip is strong enough to do it, it does require a portion of my attention and willpower to keep the bar in my hand. Using straps allows me to put all of my focus on maintaining form and keeping my back safe. Also my gym has a fat bar so what I sometimes like to do is do a few sets with the fat bar and no straps which is relatively safe for the back because you can't do it with weights that are risky for the back, add weight until I can't lift the bar, then move on to the normal bar with a bit more weight and use straps from there.
Hey Meg, Not sure if you read all your comments but I would love to purchase some of your buff is beautiful shirts/merch or positive female strength shirts. I have one muscle mommy shirt and I want more.
To many males have lower back pains, the pelvic has no feelings... Thus you will feel it in the lower back if there are any problems. Pelvic problems are very common in sport, it is the weakest link.
My four year old daughter told me that Moms can’t be super strong. So I showed her this video. Now she says she wants to be strong like you. 😊
Speaking as a physician here whose partner is a colorectal surgeon--thank you for including pelvic floor cues!! Always love your videos.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the pelvic floor tips, many bracing how-to vids seem to imply the opposite without really covering it, so it's great to have clarification.
Also, so glad you mentioned the hip hinge- keeps the spine more neutral. Great point that's usually missed or not really discussed much, but it's, like, huge. Thanks, again.
Meg Squats… the legend is back at it!
Thank you 🥰
All hail
I've been training for decades and still found this comprehensively excellent video very useful. Thanks!
I was searching for a tutorial for a friend that's beginning to pull, the content is sooo good that I sent it on the first 30 seconds! Thank you for the effort, it is suuuuuper helpful
This was exactly the video I needed. Clear, concise, while also mentioning the pelvic floor. Thank you.
Great video!! Deadlift queen is my first cycle of SBTD ever, I’m so thankful for how useful your video demonstrations are. Very beginner-friendly ❤

Very refreshing to see a charismatic woman do a tutorial like this on a gym routine ❤ She just may be leaning forward a tad too much? Like not wedging enough. I don't know, still figuring it out myself and only observing.
Thanks for mentioning the pelvic floor. This was so informative! Love the app - I’ve been using it for over a year

This video helps a lot
Excellent explanation, editing, overlays, great content. Queen doesn’t miss🤟

Thank you!
Great video, but I wish you could have covered the Jefferson Deadlift in addition to the other two.
best info on deadlift ive seen! So appreciated!
Always great content. I'm tall with hip flexor issues, so traditional DLs are the ones I do.
Rock on.
So educational, i love your videos💕

Thank you for addressing the pelvic floor!!!!
Thank you for addressing activating the pelvic floor cues.
Enjoyed and appreciated!! Well played! 💪🏾
I've been doing regular deadlifts but I really want to work my abductors more. I'll do sumo and regular. Very good video, thumbs up !

Back!!!! Ande legs. But it really ups the gains in other compounds i find like squats and hip thrusts
@@TheFaro2011 what if I do bend over row for back? The only reason is the only compound exercise that seems to bother my bad so much and cause me so much pain and soreness is only Deadlift.

Should we do Copenhagen planks before progressing to sumo DL
Sure very useful information
love the way your built 🦾
My trainer taught me to think I’m “Opening a door w my glutes.” It really helped me hinge better.
thank you queen
Thanks so much!!❤
It seem the app is not working
Can you lift a 60kg man overhead?😅
You lost me for a while when you changed from fitness and challenges to business topics. But I’m resubscribing again. Thank you for the vids.
Short arm long torso here. Sumo all the way!
thank you extremely helpful
Glad to hear it!
Hey Meg, Not sure if you read all your comments but I would love to purchase some of your buff is beautiful shirts/merch or positive female strength shirts. I have one muscle mommy shirt and I want more.
Anyone else hearing Alan Thrall yelling in the backround: DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL!!!
our little thumbs 🥹🥺

Pelvic problems are very common in sport, it is the weakest link.
I cant seem to gain any muscle. My scale has said 32.9 % muscle for over a year now, and I lift heavier than then.
Thumbnail... squeeze where now? 😁

Interesting video 😈👹 red head
How many 'how to deadlift' videos have you made now?
Best shoe for deadlifts and squats: I just step out of the shoe and do it barefoot :D
Top dog
men of culture we meet again
Folks that watch Meg are actually cultured, well beyond the norm.
Except you get a great education as well! She really is great at explaining things!
Is she pregnant again?
can you please wear those blue leggings in more of you videos
❤
