Not lean enough for posing pics. Some deadlifting video instead.

For most lifters, the common "sticking point" on dead lifts is the upper knee cap area.
Doing smooth rep deads from pins set at that ht in a power rack are the best way to increase wt.

The problem I see with deficit extended range deads is the position of the low back, sacrum and upper hams.
In my observation, you're in a position that causes too much torque/strain on the areas mentioned above.

My mobility and flexibillty needs work. Especially my back.
That is why after this last deadlift workout this week.
Going to swich to snach grip and rdl's below the knee. As regular deadlift from pins and box variation didnt do much for me.

Yes it is Getbig - Only it’s great to have a bit of decency and thought out replies.
It shows that some of us on here can communicate intelligently with one an other
Without resorting to Stupidity like trying to derail thread or abusing one & other
Just for the sake of doing that.

Also I’ve used and had good results doing power cleans & Hang Cleans
Might be worth a try.


👍🏻

I do power Cleans and Strict press. Did it after deadlift yesterday. And finnished with weights dips for tris.

Koji grad?

Tell me your exact location.     

[Griffith]

Your knees are bent really low like a squat.

What weight is that on there?

I would suggest deeper rep for warm ups then normal for anything above 60% max single.

I use a spotter to help me activate my glutes during deadlifts. He tries to stick his dick in my asshole and i squeze the glutes as hard as i can to prevent the penetration. It works 90% of the time. No homo

Good tip.  Just remember to stare blankly forward at all times to prevent 'the fear' kicking in...

A bit like this...

This is from this morning deadlift training.
I don't expect nice comments it is get big after all.  

Nice warm ups. Good way to put the stress on your hips and knees. RIP

Yes. I "squat" the deadlift. Meaning my hips are low in the starting position. My built is most suited for that kind of set up. As car as pulling the most weight.

First working set is 200KG. High deficit. Dont know exact hight.

I actually like your idea for regular deadlift.

Any advices. To help me pull more?

Spread your feet apart

Spread your feet apart

New video. Actually first time commenting on a video. Still lifting related.

I always got the most out of my deadlift from only pulling 1-2x a month.  Pulling heavy every week was just too taxing, it wore the rest of my workouts down.  This way I was able to squat/good morning every 4 days or so, and as those lifts got stronger, my deadlift would too. 

The only other tip I could give would be to warm-up with light glute bridges (no homo), like with no more than 10kg.  Even no weight would work, you're just trying to kinda "activate" the glutes, not train them.  If you struggle to incorporate your glutes into the lift, this will help a lot.  I notice a 10% difference between squat/deadlift workouts where I start off with that, and ones where I dont.

I tried the less is more on deadlift. In similar form and it didnt work out.
I do all kind of activation exer. Lats, middle back, low back, glutes, hips.
It helped no doubt. How do you do it weighted? The glute bridge. With weight plate on the abs?
Will try this weighted version you suggested.
Thanks for the info.

A little bit of pressing action. From friday.

Whoops sorry didnt see this til now!

I just place a plate or dumbbell right on my hip crease.  Kinda like this:


You'll see people really loading the weight up on this with barbells but that's not what you need to do.  You just kinda wanna really squeeze the glutes at the top of your movement, just to kind of "wake" them up.  Works for me.
