How many of you guys actually deadlift with proper form? I've literally never seen a single person that wasn't on my schools powerlifting team lift over 3 plates perfectly...
>Perfect setup >Perfectly straight back through the entire lift >Double overhand grip >Perfect Hip Hinge >Entire body works a one to complete the lift
I got to 375lbs within 8 months of lifting and then after visiting snap city twice I actually researched and properly learned the movement. I just got done doing 3x3 at 245lbs with the above form and my entire body is fatigued beyond belief.
This leads me to believe that either Veeky Forums is in the extremely small minority or people are fibbing...
Good for you. You should lift enough that you dont lose perfect form but still produce an estimulus for your body to grow. You shouldnt ego lift.
William Sanders
There's no award in lifting for having the best form, if you're able to lift with perfect form all the time then you aren't pushing yourself properly, which probably explains why you are deadlifting 245 for triples.
Jace Fisher
Being obsessed with perfect form is retarded. a) because the most optimal yet still safe form is different for everyone b) you will stall your progress due to overthinking c) you will probably learn bad habits that hinder your ability to get stronger.
As lord rippleton said, perfect is the enemy of good.
Maybe I'm full of shit tho i dunno lol. Heres me deadlifting 250kg. Did it for 3 reps this week but didn't record it because there was too many people around and autism.
Carson Reed
I have great form, but whenever I do more than like 3 reps it begins to degrade, which is normal and fine.
Oliver Howard
Your form should be good when training, doesn't need to be "perfect" just don't hurt yourself. When you're making max attempts or competing, form isn't that important. Having some lumbar rounding in competition is no big deal. Lumbar rounding in training means you're training too heavy.
Jose Martinez
Nice. That dyel in the background who don't even look at you and drops the weight on the floor disturbs me tho.
Xavier Fisher
People without proper form are the dumbest people.
They only cheat their way to snapcity.
If you cheat your form means that you're not strong enough for the weight.
Carter Williams
Your form looks good to me
Dylan Murphy
Mike Tuchscherer deadlifts over 800 pounds with absolute perfect form.
Nathaniel Ramirez
Surprisingly rational replies ITT. I would add that in addition to what has been said about form in general, the deadlift in particular will change mechanically depending on the anthropometry of the lifter. Rip has a video on this if you want to search, but even at the seminars he does he says the requirements for a correct deadlift allow for a lot more diversity than the squat or bench.
Copying a lanky monkeyman that you saw on your uni pl team when you're a 5'7" stocky femurlet with different mobility is unlikely to get you very far. You're much better off learning WHY successful lifters do what they do, and apply that good reasoning to your own technique.
Jace Gonzalez
>yanking the bar up
you should deload
Justin Reed
Because his body is perfectly built to deadlift pmsl
Noah Howard
Switched to sumo recently I'm way stronger in it. It also feels better, it never feels "right" when I'm setting up for conventional. Depends on your proportions of course, but I'm gonna pull like this for a while now. Finally gonna put some more plates on the bar.
Owen Anderson
lol
Grayson Walker
>just got done doing 3x3 at 245lbs >perfect form Yeah take advice from this guy.
Brandon White
t. brofessor
Wyatt Lopez
Recently had a guy at the gym recommend that I place one of those extra 1 inch rubber floor tiles under each side of the bar and it was a night and day difference in my form. Everything just felt better.
I would recommend doing this for any of you long legs / short arm bros
Thomas Hall
Maybe you should try putting a block, or weight underneath to see if it feels even better/easier?
Chase Martinez
You look like a Goomba. Perfect deadlift build.
Eli Ward
>a guy at the gym recommended me to shorten the ROM of the lift and cheat, so I did and it felt better
ok.
Alexander Murphy
lol no
Nathaniel Sullivan
what shoes are those?
Sebastian Torres
a face only a mother could love
Brandon Kelly
5'9 manlet here. Focusing on form is pretty important but if 100% perfect form is all you're focusing on, I'm betting you're not paying attention to your breathing or trying to push yourself. A big part about deadlifts and the form is your height. Me being the manlet I am makes full rom deadlifts much easier than it is for my 6'2 friend because I'm pulling it a much shorter distance. Also double overhand for strength training is just gonna wear your hands out unless you chalk or use gloves. This guy pretty much summed up what I said earlier
Tyler Wood
You're fucking stupid. By your logic the only people who aren't "cheating" when it comes to the deadlift are manlets with long arms.
Modifying an exercise to adjust for biomechanical imbalances and inadequacies so that you don't injure yourself is just intelligent training. You would understand this if you have been lifting for over a year.
Michael Jenkins
They look like wrestling shoes but I can be sure. A lot of people like them for deadlifting
Tyler Williams
they look like hi-top samba's but they don't even make those.
might be adidas wrestling/boxing shoes too
Luke Anderson
Is this b8?
Christopher Morales
No, why?
Aiden Ward
Would you guys consider a hex bar to be cheating?
Adam Cruz
I would not consider it a deadlift at all.
Josiah Brown
>sumo
Jordan Bell
>ok
Brayden Ward
9/10 very nice
Mason Powell
amazing how you can lift so much with those skinny legs. I have seen 300kg with legs even skinnier than you tho, how is that possible is a mistery to me.
Andrew Hughes
The bar keeps hitting my knees on the way up and down. I keep trying to focus super hard on form so I'm only using one plate. Hlep
Jayden King
you're trying to keep your back too vertical. learn to set up correctly (read SS)
Ian Nguyen
I deadlift under/over without a straight back but im tall and there is no such thing as a perfect deadlift unless you take into account an individuals skeletal structure. My 1rep was 165kg which is 3.6 plates or so but i have been working on volume these past few months so I have no idea where it is now.
Joshua Jenkins
Lol
Ryder Butler
nice mate
Caleb Cook
>tfw deadlift only at 2.5 plate after 6 months of lifting
Noah Collins
>double overhand >picture is switch grip
Benjamin Diaz
This is really good, though.
Brayden Roberts
Haha fucking weak bro
Parker Price
I read an article that supports this too... I've tried it and can say only good things.
Hunter Smith
at least ur not >got to 2.5 plate in 6 months, 2.5 years later ur at 3 plate because you no longer care about the lift i thought it was suppoised to get easier senpai
Lincoln Kelly
I consider it a great exercise, but it isn't a deadlift precisely.
John Cruz
5 months of lifting and 1RM is just above 2 plate. id say ur doing pretty well just keep going
Colton Nelson
>minority or fibbing it's a little of both. some people here are pretty fucking strong. some only pretend they are. the pretenders don't make the strong less strong, though
Logan Morgan
it's ok for the bar to hit your legs/shins a little, but you should probably set up less vertical. remember, you don't want to drop your hips when you're doing deads, if that makes sense
Angel King
Hamstrings and glutes don't make your legs look big
Gavin Foster
>5'5" Chimp mode >week 3 of SL >295 diddylift >about to shift it into 3rd gear soon
Luis Reyes
Okay so back in high school I "deadlifted" 200 lbs but I'm pretty sure I was just doing a reverse-squat kind of lift to get it up. Now, 4 years later, I'm trying to get back into serious lifting and wanted to know if this video was good for dead lifting. I got the movement down and my lower back seems to be the biggest area of improvement after a few weeks of lifting. Its always the most sore area. youtube.com/watch?v=-4qRntuXBSc
