That's not a deadlift

Hinge, shuffle, drop, drive. Whilst I can appreciate someone trying to make exercises simple, that is not a deadlift. First thing is, when we're doing a deadlift is we want to get our trunk stiff as possible. We want to reach for the bar. So one of the things I did like him saying is drive. Absolutely, we want to drive up from the floor. So let's do that right now. We drive up for the floor, but in this position, if we just hinge and we instruct our client to just hinge all the way down, Now, as you can see, when I drove up, I'm driving up with my knees bent. So my knees are bent here. Why am I lowering with a completely different pattern, which is just in that hinge position? Most people do not have strength to go all the way down to the floor and touch, so they're going to need to bend their knees. And we want to mirror— the way we come up is going to be similar to the way we come down. So there's a little bend in my knees on the way up, and there's going to be a little bend in my knees on the way down. So here I'm driving up to the floor. Yes, hinge, we do want to hinge, but once we hit about past our knees, for most people, we're going to bend our knees slightly, get back into this position. I'm going to drive up again. We're always keeping the bar as close to our body as possible. What the gentleman is demonstrating in his video is almost like an omni deadlift where he's coming up in one technique and then lowering. Now, as you start getting into a heavier and heavier weight, your body's simply not going to be prepared at those lengthened positions, which 100% is going to end up in injury. So I do not advise to drop, drive, and hinge. Rather, set up nice and tight, drive, hinge. Once you hit past your knees, bend your knees, and that's how you deadlift.
