I like that Jeremy get's straight to the point. So many YouTube training vids go on for 12 -15 minutes and they say no more than what Jeremy points out in 4 minutes.

I've seen lots of videos on improving your deadlift….never had anyone commented on the bar position relative to your feet!

This was a real game changer for me!

Thanks for the great content Omar.

I wish you got a better angle of the bar position over the mid foot @ 0:53. "mid foot" differs depending on vantage point.

The problem with this is the fact that his back is bent, and you want as much as your body back from the bar to create leverage. Also your back needs to be as straight as possible or you could damage your back.

"…starting at midpoint foot, and bringing shins to the bar" was my missing link, this dude just helped me out BIG TIME! thanks man, I was always forcing myself to get into position, but this tip, easy as it sounds, truly made a difference.

I would always naturally start the deadlift just as jeremy described it without thinking. So many people have told me I don't deadlift properly because I hardly ever bloody my shins. Lol bro scientists in the gym are fun.

Everything he said was great except for 3:05 where he says he commits to the "pull." Don't think of pulling when you deadlift. Instead, think of pushing the floor down with your feet.

That second tip seems like a way to jerk the bar off the floor and fuck up your form, i dont know about that man.

I feel like for me it works better to start with the bar closer to my ankle.
I feel stronger this way and less pressure on my lower back.
