So. Deadlifts. The times I post any deadlifts clips, I get asked often “how come you don’t go any lower?”… literally look at how I’m built. Why would I? It would serve nothing to my deadlift because where I start the lift would still be in the exact same spot. - Typically you want to find the shortest distance you would have to travel. So that’s how you base your setup. I haven’t deadlifted in years, yet proceeded to randomly pull off a 765 deadlift with 2-3 reps in the tank. So don’t ask me about credentials. Take the advice or leave it - Split the bar with the halfway point of your feet (look from the sides). Hinge at the hips then squat. Where the bar touches your shins should be about the starting point. It may take practice to find that spot with your wingspan and etc. But you don’t want to have to squat lower than you need to. You’ll notice yourself raising your hips before you even get the lift off the ground.. that should tell you something - Think leg press at the bottom half of the rep, halfway through think hip thrust. GET THOSE HIPS THROUGH. EXTEND THOSE HIPS. Literally look at my 765 pull. - If your back rounds, so what. I am fully capable of pulling with a straight back or a rounding back because that’s in my bag. If you are someone that never lifts with a rounded back, then that’s more of a concern for YOU. Not for people that consistently load their spine rounded. - Bracing? Simply take a small breath out, SMALL breath in through the mouth, then tighten your core. You should not be expanding vertically. - Yes I train “powerlifters”. I have several clients that enjoy doing SBD. So we do SBD - @coach_mundy_
