The Bible says that no one is a good person. We have all broken God's law the 10 commandments, we have all committed, lies, adultery, idolatry, and blasphemy. We deserve hell, but because of what Jesus did on the cross we can be forgiven. So if you Repent of your sins, change your wicked ways, and put your faith in Christ you will be written in the book of life. 👌 🙏Repentance is reviewing one's actions and feeling contrition or regret for past wrongs, which is accompanied by commitment to and actual actions that show and prove a change for the better. ...

I met Ed Coan when I was a teenager working at FanFare in Orland Square mall. It was the month he was in Muscle and Fitness. He was sincerely shocked anyone recognized him. I asked him If I could run down to GNC and buy the copy of Muscle and Fitness he was featured in. He patiently waited for me to get back so he could sign it. What a genuinely nice and humble man he was.
He’s a really good dude my favorite powerlifter.
I always HELLA STIFF when i deadlift. Both in my lats and my pants

Let me.... Unstiff you 😳
Sounds like this advice could apply to all big lifts, the tighter and more rock solid your body, the better the lift
Absolutely, the tension provides almost acts like a spring
True! When I started doing this, every exercise improved!
Power transfers easier through tense muscles. Spend time flexing just tense and flex all your muscles. You'll feel fucking poweful
Its the old trying to fire a cannon out of a canoe saying
If you feel the tension in your lats at the beginning of the lift (like with a lat pull down), that’s a good cue.
Thanks! Now my deadlift AND bedroom skills are hitting PRs 👍
easier to jerk off
That tightening tip applies to almost every workout 🏋🏿♂️

“tuck your lats into your front pockets”

I did this….and shit my pants
i did this and shit your pants as well
That's a sign you need to use a squat plug.
💀
You forgot to stiffen your pelvic floor.
Maxic used to literally emphasize this in his teachings, the very same guy we got the whole concept of how powerful the mind-muscle connection is
He would talk about essentially pre-tensioning your muscles, essentially ramping up your muscles for the stress
The mental analogy I use in my head is "you don't start a power tool on the work piece, you start it beforehand and lower it to the workpiece"
Bro I literally just destroyed my back an hour ago deadlifting this would have been pretty useful before that thanks TH-cam
Have A Speedy Recovery Dude. You'll Show Up Better.
Now you know what to do. Get better and get those gains
This guy isn't giving any revolutionary advice here...this is the basics of deadlifting lol. Gotta research proper form on compound lifts so you don't injure yourself
Damn you got your back blown out

"How you start will dictate how you finish" 🥵
Thats what she said
@@robothug6688 niceee 😎
I was benching and made sure i was stiff.
The spotter was also stiff
Embracing thoracic rounding was a game-changer for my deadlift.
Creating tightness is true for every workout, especially the heavy ones- aka: Deadlift, Squat, and Bench Press.
Somebody once said I should imagine pulling myself towards the ground at the starting position to help visualize the feeling, which really stuck to me. You guys should try that if you are struggling
Flexing my legs during deadlift helped tremendously
Tried this today. Felt great control over my deadlift. Thanks for the tip.
Who else is getting stiff after this?
??
Sus
LOL
Yes this is true , when starting , let that Lats feel , let the lats charge up , and watch how it makes you lift better
I accidentally sort of figured this out while deadlifting the other day
I realised my back was rounding, and at the same time I realised my lats weren't in the lift at all
soon as I lowered the weight and focused on the lats, the lift was buttery.
this also kinda explains why there's not a single good deadlifter with small lats, a strong back is a prerequisite for this lift.
This idea carry’s over to almost every exercise including push ups get every muscle nice and tight you literally wanna be flexing while going through the motion this also puts more stress on the worked muscle groups leading to bigger gains
Yeah true, I find almost flexing during certain exercises helps establish more of a mind muscle connect, and results in better Isolation of the muscle overall.
I’ve heard people saying that it’s okay to curve the upper back, but never the lower back. I thought was optimal keep the back 100% straight both upper and lower.
depends on your own leverages and most importantly what feels most comfortable for you. Personally it feels more comfortable for me to slightly round my upper back (conventional). As long as its pain-free you'll be good
I have a slight curve in my upper back pulling conventional. What most people don’t realise is that it is okay to have a little curve in your back (only upper) if your back remains in this position from start to finish. If you feel your back start to curve more then you should stop immediately and drop the weight
God, this is so obvious and yet I've been doing it wrong this entire time, thanks man
I recorded myself doing Deadlift and found out that My my Lats remain loose, resulting in a lockout problem.
Can try rolling the bar out just a little and then using the lats to pull it back into position. Have seem professional strongmen doing this, was good for me until was able to automatically do it during setup.
@@jakedragon8753 Strongmen do it because they're so big they can't get into a optimal starting position unless they get down with the bar away, then roll it in. You won't need to do this unless you're huge everywhere.

Can smoke then workout or workout then smoke both work🤷🏻♂️
Thats actually the best tip, easy for newbies to understand aswell, this should be every deadlift tutorial ever, ive seen countless deadlift tips up during my years of lifting and there is so many weird ways people try to describe this excact thing, nice video
My biggest mistake with these type exercises is the brace being mentally prepared to move the weight. ‘Nice n tight’ is it
Something to add to this which works for me, is that I think to myself, make yourself feel incredibly uncomfortable. The more you lean back, the more you tighten everything up, the more you just wanna stand up and stop. For me, this usually means I'm in the best position to pull from.
Cool, I’ll try this next time I deadlift
It’s true!! My max just went from 335 to 900!!
Broo i told my lil 9yo cousin and he just went from 40 to 400!!
Still couldn’t get my dads 405 tho..
It’s true, I’m the barbell
🧢🧢
“Everything should be tight🙌🏽”
Great tip, I just started deadlifts last week and noticed myself kind of doing this. I will definitely incorporate this into my lifts.
Tried this today, but couldn't get the lockout because my stiffler was in the way.
Try tucking it up into your belt
this is so funny bro thank you
Ed told me the exact same advice. Love your channel bro!
Ive been working on this form for 3 months and results are pretty nice ! My max was 100kg now by this form i can lift 130kg with same body weight so 3 months 30 kg is nice to me .. thanks for this info 😇
I normally hit PRs with this. However, once I put the bar down and finish the lift I feel like a whip lash on my traps and especially my lats
What i do is retract the scapula and try to break the bar. Also brace my core and glutes when I do so. It keeps everything engaged. Works for me. Doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna work for you, but for me, it works perfect.
Can you deadlift with intensity with such a technique?
@@juanti6707 very much better than the counterpart. I feel like I can activate my lats and traps and rhomboids, shoulders and glutes, and keep them tense and activated when I perform the movement.
Not retracting the scapula, and only trying to break the bar does involve the lats but not the entirety of it, I feel. That works for me better, in all honesty.
Great advice.. No problem with stiffness, but I hate when its not tight enough!
Ayo
Pause
Yes the upper back is very important
A rounded back is not necessarily bad. Eventually, with enough weight, even the strongest lifters backs will arch a bit
He explained this in a video on Instagram where he said this. A rounded upper back is not necessarily bad. Someone asked him about this because powerlifters do it. He mentioned that it helps them with load management. Again, the upper back, not the lower back.
YEEEES as a young lifter I took the straight spine to far and it would start bending the OTHER way with more weight. That’s how you get hurt
@@poshy6534 true. The way highschoolers typically do it is (not all) is wrong
SO your telling me stiffness is the most important key in deadlifting. More than back rounding?
Yes - some will have a slight back round posture but if they’re locked into that position and minimize movement of the spine it can still be a good & safe deadlift
You should still try to not let your lower back round unless you are very experienced
I feel alot stronger on lifts where I'm able to maintain this stiffness throughout the core and lats during the rep for sure.
I trained with Keith Kanemoto and he took a barbell jack, lifted my bar and told me to do that with my body. that was extremely helpful advice for me, wedging yourself beneath the bar then lifting
This is 100% accurate. After a 5 year hiatus from lifting, I started up again 2 months ago. I use to pull 405 for 6 reps at 165. FF to today, I’m 190, (out of shape) and I pulled 315 for 4 reps the other day. After modifying my form because I was feeling it in my low back, I realized I wasn’t engaging my last and locking them in place. 7 days later, I lifted 315 for 6 reps and could’ve done 7, but this time, I engaged my back and like this video says, it locks your back. I felt nothing in my low back after that session and I pulled 2 more reps than the previous week.
If your stress your upper back in deadlift and feel uncomfy, you are doing it right to maintain stiffness
In terms of locking down could you do a video of how to ‘lock everything down’
the way i interpret the vid, just sort of activate those back muscles at the very start of the lift to make the initial lift off the ground easier, considering that’s the hardest part of the lift, so instead of just using your legs to lift off, let your back muscles assist
@@otis2241 not at the start of the lifts. Get in position put your hands on the bar and BEFORE you start bringing it up flex every dang muscle in your body everything everything everything. Then bring it up
Just wrap the bar around your body
I just use my feet to push the earth away.
Thank you for all your tips!
Excellent advice, the first rep most difficult pull for worried about the curve in my back thanks for clarify that and now lock down lats actually used my arms to start.
you used a comma and still managed to make it unreadable
This comment section is ballin'
Thanks for this! Come Thursday evening, it’s on baby! Going for new PR!
did this the other day and all pain went
Noted, lats locked, will put it in practice the next workout.
Thought this was just...how it's done
I found myself holding my breath and bearing down while watching this
the fade mid rep 💀
I don't know how you lift heavy weights without creating stiffness in like the lats
Whats funny to me is that i pulled a 500 conventional at 190 with good form, and i never worried about my lats ever. Always knew everyone preaches lat tightness as a key aspect but i just never tightened my lats at all, curious how my dl would have been if i used them considered i was cheat rowing 350
Thanks for the tip.
Awesome advice - thanks for sharing your info
You deserve 1 million subs and MORE
Can I use a bike lock to lock my lats solid?
Probably use the ones banks use for better locking power
Awesome. Rings true
This advice is def for advanced lifters
Don't be afraid to sink your shoulders and have some UPPER back curvature during the sumo dead. It's the lower back that mustn't be curved during the lift. Don't listen to the inexperienced bros at the gym, they are often jealous and will assume they know or try to discredit your lifts if they see upper back curvature.
Stay natural and stay alive
Great advice, thanks!
Another good tip is when creating tautness in your body before the lift, don’t create it by pulling with your arms. Create it by grabbing the bar, hinging at the hips, tight lats, shoulders down, then push down with your legs slightly, this will create the tautness in your body you want before the lift. By pushing down with the legs instead of pulling up with the arms, your back can remain flat-ish with arching up
I’m at 190kg so far
Same
I’m at 110 🙄
@@rahulgaur5916 that’s good keep practicing and focus on form more then the weight
Wow that's crazy well done! I just started this week again (did 2 workouts so far) after like 2 years doing nothing because of corona, depression, dead family member and no job. Now I feel better, have a job and want to start strength training for real this time.
2 years ago I did like few months strength training at the gym but then it closed :( then I got a bar and weights and trained at home but when all that stuff happened I had no energy for anything anymore since I had to deal with other stuff.
Anyways I now got a power rack with the money I earned at my job since the prices for gym membership go up and it's more worth to invest in equipment than membership. Now I have the goal to lift 100kg within the next years!
Keep it up everyone!
@@EveLiftsStuff sorry to hear about your loss but it’s great you’re back on the grind
My deadlift PR is 452lbs / 205kg using proper technique and stiffening my muscles and before proper technique it was around 352lbs / 160kg
Athlean-X! Good job man💪
It requires a lot of not only technique but also focus and mental power to reach that stiffness
Good advice! Thank you ~
Can someone explain to me why people put deadlift as a pull exercise and talk about lat engagement? At most it is a synergist or stabilizer. A pull or lat exercise is a pull up or row. The elbow resists coming closer to the body. There is way more range of motion for both of those for a pull. The deadlift is a leg exercise. Why is this controversial.
It's both
The load is far greater than anything youd get from a weighted pull up even without rom as an isometric. If deadlifts dont grow your back you have a shit deadlift
@@LJxYTV I've never seen very many deadlifters do pull ups at all. My weighted pull up is +160 and I weigh 180 and this is for a one rep. I can do a single arm slow stopping negative pull up. My dead is at 365. I'm 5'10 and not fat.
The lats just aren't under significant load with a deadlift. Are you pushing your arms into your shins and giving yourself bloody shins? Even if you're doing that the arms are not doing the lifting in the exercise. They are there to hold onto the bar while your legs and hips and lower back stabilize and lift. The lats extend the arms in the saggital plane and adduct in the frontal plane. How is that even important in a deadlift beyond holding on, which is mostly grip. I'd call the lats a stabilizer muscle for deadlift. Definitely not a synergist or primary agonist for the lift. It can even passively extend and you can still do the deadlift
Sumo deadlift engages the quads more, so they’re definitely a leg exercise, but traditional deadlift is predominantly a glute exercise. You’re correct in saying it’s not a back exercise, though there is back engagement. There should be minimal “pulling” using the back; the “pull” comes from hinging the hips and the arms simply moving closer to the body as part of the natural flow of the movement ✌🏼
True. It’s actually more comparable to a leg press. It’s not a pull at all and putting them on back day is nonsensical as it’s more of a leg exercise with very minute back stimulation. The only positive note is that at least this misconception causes people to train legs twice a week.
Torque equals power
I shook Ed's hand at the Shaw Classic this year. Despite him hitting 60 recently, it was still the strongest hand I've shaken by a mile, and I've bumped elbows with John Haack and Julius Maddox
Wow! Amazing point!👌
How do you "lock the lats"
Externally rotate ur shoulders
@@qs7506 thanks, I'm gonna try that
@@Cheo.M but also imagine you lats and just tighten them like for flexing while also in that position.
@@biguzivert thats one thing im working on learning haven't really learned to manipulate or flex yet.
@@pdmasters2484 u okay dude?
I can't lie this is true!
Ed's squat and bench were insane.. his deadlift was great for his era good but most elite powerlifters are hitting 900lbs at 100kg bw.
This is exactly what I do for squatting and other heavy compound exercises
Conventional > Sumo
In reality nobody cares

So this is more important than the tripod foot balance?
🧐
🤔
Tripod? Wtf are you doing? Leaning on ur python for more stability? Lol
You can't do both? can't they both be important?
@@BIGC728 The title is supposed to tell the truth instead of clickbaiting, especially on an excellent channel like this one.
Of course I watch this after I just trained back
I feel the double pull before lifting the bar is great at creating that tension.
Any drills that you think could help with this? Maybe rack/block pulls because there is less emphasis on the lower body?
He has a video where he attaches a rubber band somewhere in front of the bar so that you automatically have to pull the bar towards the shins thus forcing your back to be activated. It’s helped me a lot engaging that stiffness if that’s what you’re referencing.
Just picture crushing an orange under your arms ….feet, take the slack, engage the lats squeezing an orange, push the earth away with your legs.
"Try and bend the bar." Works with deadlift and bench pretty well.
Great advice.
Rack Pulls are awesome for practicing this. Great tip
I never understood rack pulls. They seem so pointless. Maybe it's to help with lockouts? Idk
I broke back deadlifting, now who will feed me Doritos? Who?
Your back is the dorito, and boy you crumbled it
When Ed was on his prime he had the strength of 5 gorillas, no exaggeration.
