Yeah, I know, another Deadlift tip.
I got a question from one of our lifters on the TPSMethod.com forum for advice on a technical issue and figured it is so common that I should just do a Coaching Log on it.
His ass was popping up first and that caused him (and many) to overcompensate with the lower back.
This can lead to injury at worse or less weight/reps at best.
I told him to make his arms LONG.
This is possibly the best cue I have heard for the Deadlift and I stole it from Steve Goggins.
Making your arms long wraps a bunch of cues into one.
Having one thing to think about makes things simpler.
Simpler is better.
We’ve all heard 50 different things being yelled at people:
- Lats
- Take the slack out
- Load your hamstrings
- Blah Blah Blah
If you make your arms long, all of those things happen at the same time, PLUS, you limit the risk of injury to the bicep and lower back.
Watch the video below for a clear explanation. It’s under three minutes long.
C’mon.
You have three minutes.
