@australianstrengthcoach: Check out my simple fix to stop the hips rising up first in the deadlift. In this session, I was training with elite calisthenics athlete @winsonnlamm Deadlifting isn’t part of his sport, but we thought it would be a cool lift to get good at. Everything looked perfect on the lighter warm-up sets, but as soon as the weight got heavier, his hips started rising before the bar left the floor. My first thought was that he wasn’t taking the slack out of the bar properly, which is a very common cause of this issue. But after a few sets, it became obvious that wasn’t the only problem. The biggest issue was that his lats weren’t fully engaged. One of my favourite ways to teach lat engagement is to pull the bar into your shins and keep pulling it backwards throughout the entire lift. The lats help lock the torso in place, allowing the legs to drive into the floor without the hips changing position. To make this easier, we put knee sleeves over his shins so that he could pull the bar into his shins without making his shins bleed or bruise. The difference was immediate. His body locked into position, his hips stayed where they belonged, and the movement instantly became stronger. If your hips shoot up early in the deadlift, try this cue to help you learn how to use your lats. Pull the bar into your shins from start to finish, but make sure you put the knee sleeves on first, and feel the difference.

I love this. I went to the gym yesterday and did deadlifts. I’ve been doing deadlifts for a little while you know I’m in about the 400 pound range now for you know I never max so I could probably do 450 but… little instruction here is make sense. It’s important to have focus sometimes distracting there’s a lot going on on my mind, but I need to have better concentration.
