His philosophy is outstanding.

Hands down the best instructional video on lifting a weight I have ever seen

And this little gem...."Explosion, that's chaos"

 

[Bazza20]

Yeah I liked it.

Not the usual get your hips down which is all you seem to hear from people when It comes to the deadlift and usually from people with a shit deadlift.

good vid.. except if you don't have the same length limbs.. and can't get the angles and position right for arms and pushing your shins forward or bum down etc

definitely good pointers though.

Yeah that dictates a lot of things.

But the set up should be universal, and his is correct., that's just my opinion of course.

awesome, thanks for posting

I like regarding it as a push.

 

[Johnnie Walker]

That was awsome. Recently i have felt my arse is to high and im not low enough but seems i was right where i should be. Deff need to work on the hip drive though, probably my weakest bit. i do find when im in the same pos as him, its a fucking long way down to that bar tho

Best deadlift tuition vid I've seen.

Ah here it is.

So i did deads today using a push as apposed to pull. Really felt good and added to my lifts..altho that could be the gear lol. There is a clear difference beteeen pulling it and driving through the hips. Arse was pretty sore, probably engaged some muscle that had been being lazy before.

Only negative is that due to my height i think, for my shins to be straight up my back is on the cusp of rounding in order to reach the bar..even when getting my arse lower but keep the shin straight. With the bhip drive my backs not rounded for long

Best lifting vid ive watched

What I like to do is consider it as a kettlebell swing
I'll push the floor away from the bar and then spread the floor as high as possible thinking about nothing but locking the knees out explosively. Don't even think about the hips it happens naturally (for me)

Give it a go sometime, might be easier, might not

 

[Johnnie Walker]

Looking back, i was using my mid/lower back to get the weight up and my hips would follow. This method much better

 

[MrB83]

Awsum lifts this guy.

 

[Homemaster]

The reason it's so good is that he says not to drag the bar up the shins. Thank Christ for that.

Also, his cues and set up work a charm

Using mid/lower back to get weight up would be appreciated
