My deadlift form is a nightmare. I've just started weightlifting 10 days ago (working out 3x/week) and haven't done sports for about ten years. I am also an underweight female student with an office job. So I am incredible grateful and astonished tbh to have found all these great videos on Youtube to inform me about correct form. Monkey see, monkey do But even after so many hours of watching, I am still afraid of my next DL in two days. My back is just giving in, my legs don't want to work and I can't coordinate all my body, it's infuriating P. S. if anyone if reading and caring: I did not start overloading on the DL until I feel comfortable with my measly 30kg/66 lbs. I do not want to hurt myself after discovering how fun this stuff is I hope the sumo stance will help a bit, I feel like it might.

Thanks for the video. One thing that I think is important to mention is breathing. Recently, as I moved up into heavier deadlifts (and squats) I would take a deep breath and hold it in on the power stroke of the movement. Well, by doing this you can cause extreme pressure build up in your eyes and optic nerve, usually indicated by head pain in the back of your head where the optic nerve runs to. This excessive pressure can lead to a large increased risk of glaucoma and possibly blindness. I experienced this the other day and was unable to lift for several days because of the debilitating head pain/eye pain. Please remember to breathe properly during heavy compound exercises. Thanks.

Dear Jeff, I have been working out for more than 2 years, I age 32, from India and rely on a full vegetarian diet but consume milk products and whey protein. I actually passed out after a dead lift. I was following a pull workout and dead lift was my final workout. I started with 60 kg and went up to 160 kg in my final workout. It was for the first time I tried 160 kg deadlift. I failed to lift it 2 times and in 3rd attempt I was only able to lift the barbell partially. Just after that I was taking breath and suddenly I collapsed. Is it ok or did I make some mistake, please if u could make a video on it. Thanks

Hi Jeff, maybe you could help me out. I sumo deadlift with a alternate grip (mixed grip. I dont switch hands even though Im supposed to because I feel my right hand is stronger. I make sure not to round my back and I look forward. Ive noticed that the day after deadlifting, I feel a sharp pain inbetween my shoulder blade ONLY on the right side and hurts when I retract my shoulder blade, my left side is a little sore but not painful. The first time it happened, I just thought it was muscle soreness, but now Im starting to think its an injury and has something to do with my form. Could you help me out: )?

So guys this is Part 1 of the 3-part deadlift mini-series I'll be running for the rest of February on Tuesdays. The deadlift is so technical that I think it deserves 3 episodes to be covered reasonably well. The same can probably be said for the squat and bench press, so I may follow up on those with another dedicated errors video and/or videos on specific modifications for different bodytypes (height, arm lengths, etc) and maybe yet another on their variations. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy Part 1 and I'll be back next week with Part 2 on the conventional deadlift. Peace

Hey Jeff, some people recommend too increase your meal frequency but minimizing the calories per meal. For example if you where to eat 3000 calories, you'd split it up unto 300 calories per meal and eat each meal 1 hour 30 minutes. Some people say that your body would never be in a hunger state and always be able to focus on repairing muscle tissues and burning fat. Do you have any suggestions over scientific research i could read behind if this is a true case that eating more meals per day would be better than eating three big meals.

Low handle hex bar deadlift - I have no idea why I cannot seem to find much information on this topic. A lot of the comparisons I've seen are using the higher handles but man using the lower handles really does feel like the best of both worlds. I can't remember if you've covered this so I'll have to go back and dig some, but I would love to hear what you and some of the subs think about it.

Awesome explanation on how to deadlift. Very technical and the best deadlift video I've seen on YouTube and I've seen tons. Funny bc after all this time I still wasn't doing the deadlift 100% perfect and watching this video made me understand a few minor but important tweaks that I needed to make. Thanks again.
