It's true. When I started to super-set abduction and glute activation drills before squats and deadlifts as a rule, my back problems vanished and my numbers went up.
it could also mean that your form isnt good, which is why you experienced problems. i do my deadlifts in the middle of my workout, but mostly during the end. unlike what some would claim, your nervous system would already be fired and your muscles well trained and ready. if you do deadlifts last, you wont need this warm,only warm up with a deadlift bar and light weights
This video was amazing. Please consider doing a similar one for OHP/Bench press
After adding this to my lower body routines, my upper body now needs a Loz-approved warmup as well!
Harry comes across well, like a gym pt that actually knows what he's talking about
These videos are brilliant and I can’t wait to try this before deadlifts tomorrow. Cheers Loz
How did it go. It help you?
Why arnt u on a million subscribers already!!
Lock Downs wouldn't help and no House tours lol.
Dropping body weight, working on the booty, I think Loz is working toward speedo season.
About to give the Insta-thots a run for their money.
Gotta admit, this seems more like a worthwhile Tabatta session than a warm up! Nice one thanks. 👍
I've been doing the same warm up for 4 years. This was better. Thanks for posting!
thanks for this video Loz. I'm getting into lifting, and I understand the main lifts, but its warm ups and accessory work that is so foggy since a lot of channels don't focus on that. I would love another one for warming up for bench/military press. also, cool down videos and also conditioning for each lift would also be excellent videos
Great video. We want more, please. Maybe bench/shoulders warm up.?
Beauty of a educational video. Simple, effective and straight to the point. No necessary talk. Me like it. Thanks uncle Loz.
This is probably one of the best warmup videos I’ve watched.
I needed this! Thank you
Excellent educational video. Back when I was lifting with some regularity my warm up would be to squat with just the bar. I fear at this age I would struggle to get up from some of those positions, but still fun to learn
Always helpful advice thanks loz
This is excellent! I've been looking for exactly this kind of vid. Thanks a lot!
Brilliant video thank you!
back day today! Thanks for the hints bigloz!
I will definitely be trying this warm up for depth in my squat and deadlift. Thank you much Uncle Loz
Fantastic, Thank you gentlemen.
Very helpful video, thank you!
Thanks chaps, really useful and informative. Very clearly described and demonstrated. Can’t wait to give this a go and see if I can feel the difference.
Excellent, thank you.
Excellent video loz. I've deglected proper warmups for my squat and deads for so long so defo trying this
Good info....thanks guys!
Will try on the next leg day! Thx for sharing 👍💪
Excellent, I've been looking for a good warm up todo for squats and deadlifts for ages. I look forward to trying this for squats on Thursday. Awsome content keep it up 👌
i love your videos of tips and tricks like that, our gyms are closed for now but I do love to put your explanation in practice on my home training and i already see improvements in my movements! Can't wait to see the results once the gyms open back!
I developed some lower back pain and went to physical therapy to figure out the cause and found I had poor glute activation. Now as a personal trainer I always have my clients do clam shells, power pelvic tilts, and glute bridges before any heavy leg work. Has had positive effects on everyone including myself. I love that you include this type of info in your videos Loz, you've given me more tools for my tool kit to try on myself then spread to others.
man, i didn't even know about some of these, so glad that you keep making videos, it's really useful
excellent! very useful, thank you.
Thanks for this video Loz. I first watched it the day it came out and yesterday went out and brought some gym equipment, rack a bar and weights. You sir have made a difference.
Funny, I was going to do deadlifts today. Coincidence? I think not
Needed this so so so bad!!
Thank you so much for this Uncle Loz! I'm getting close to middle age and have worked manual labor blue collar jobs my whole life. My back gives me so many problems I've had a hard time training legs. This is exactly the kind of video I need to see!
This is just what I needed! Thanks Loz!
I think this warmup will be almost a full training for me lol 😂
Thanks for the info, Loz! These warm-ups, and others like them, have really helped on squat and DL day. Being an old(er) fart, getting the glutes/hips firing even before the light warm-up sets has made so much of a difference. Even after a short time I went from watching one knee start to buckle in on a max DL to having them stay tight and out. What I didn't have were the core activation movements, but they are in my training log now, thanks to this video. I'm glad I don't have Coach H beating the crap out of me while I'm warming up... I don't think I'd be in any shape to lift after being tenderized! Thanks again, Loz. Always appreciate the info and advice.
I’m gonna give this a try for sure. Been looking for a good warm up routine for squats and dead’s.
Top stuff Loz. Squats and deads tonight perfect timing!
Quality, subscribed.
Been waiting for this nice one big loz, is there one out for pressing?
I've always known I should but I've never really warmed up like one should, but this video is an amazing straightforward list of things to do and I can't wait to add it into my routine.
Those glute & core activations brought my squat to the next level thank u guys so much💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥
Been waiting for something like this! Thank you gents 👍 need over head pressing warm ups next I currently have a shoulder injury!
Start pressing just the bar with fullrange
Very helpful
Thanks a lot. The first exercise is great i think. Some guy whonsaw me doing it was like oh my god this is so bad for the back.. well. Opening up the hips is something I forget !
nice. i have been struggling for about 1 year with IT band pain and tightness. hopefully this will help loosen it up before lifting!
Please more videos like this :)
accessories for deadlift, squat, ohp etc. would be great to watch!
I sense that Big Loz can be good for movies 🎥
I'm going to try this warm ups tomorrow before my deadlift
I love this video
I was re watching the 2017 WSM finals and sure eddie was great and all but that Laurence guy really stole the show
Thanks Loz, Thanks H
Really needed this video... Pretty shite at warming up for dl and squats. Tomorrow is leg day, gonna start.
Good Stuff.
Good tips i do struggle with squats but more so to the end of my reps/sets maybe overthinking or over squating maybe🤔
Perfect
Hi uncle Loz, I've just tried out your warm up routine and hey pesto! A new 3RM Pb of 180kg 💪, just about maintained my form on the 3rd rep so pretty chuffed. All my warm up sets felt good and even the back off sets of 3 after. I can definetly recommend this routine 👍👍
Awesome buddy
Hey Big Loz loving the channel! I am definitely going to add these to my warm up routine. Do you have anything planned for overhead pressing? It is one my weakest lifts and I want to improve it.
We have an upper body warm up routine coming 👍
Loving the hiking boots, I might start wearing mine for warmups 😂. Great video though!
Big loz , what would you recommend For training the conans wheel? I have barbell but not a lot of space. Also great 👍 video warm ups u suggest worked really well, looking forward to the come back!
Just in time for squat and deadlift day!
I've started doing this warm up especially for my squat and I have never felt so flexible in my hips before! Is there any way you can do a similar warm up videos for Yoke and/or different types of carries?
Loving the uploads Loz
Ha ha this video came out just as I was about to start warming up myself. Thanks, uncle Loz! :D
Another great vid. We all need warm ups but I don't like doing them lol.
Big loz is the best. But where is your video about your pickup your house. Your second house. Your gym your refrigerator? And how much you paid. Thanks for being actually being humble and informative and interesting!
Those first warm-ups are just gas relievers aren't they?
This works
Shoulders next please!
I'm sure this would be great to do before farmer carries and stones? Thanks for the info 👍
Loz you are great! really like your videos man. How much weight do you want to lose?
The goal is to get down to 140kg then from my heaviest ever that will be a 30kg drop
Any chance you'll be dropping an upper body version soon?
Yes 👍
I think I injured my back by excessive bending at boxing, since then my low back had discomfort that got better with time, now I am doing very light deadlift, if I try to put more work on the back while deadlifting, the discomfort worsen a bit for half a day, the only time I got ill in these last 3 years I was in bed fo 3 days, and my discomfort got better after that rest, I seem to have some disk protrusions in the lower back, and a very small herniation dorsal, I tend to stay sit most of the day, I am now trying to lose the weight I got from inactivity since the injury, walking and lift light weights and use rubber band, will I heal? Will I be able to go back healthy lifting weights? Some doctors were very negative about my condition, that got me really down with lots of negative thinking, slowly getting my hope back
1:09 he looks like a real giant.
Is any muscle/tendon activation needed below the knee, particularly at ankle level? What I find, when I'm lining up to do a deadlift is I'm lifting my heels up pre-lift and balancing on and driving into the ground through the balls of the feet and can't seem to shake this, rather than pushing down through the heels as I'm lifting the bar. I don't know if this is a subconscious fear of falling backwards and balance overcompensation.
Knees Over Toes Guy has a lot of good info on joints and mobility in the legs in general. IDK if he has a video on this exact topic, but I'm certain he has something useful about mobility. I am reluctant to listen to everything he says but everyone that I've seen on the internet so far agrees that KOTG is worth checking out at the very least.
Would you recommend doing a 5/10 mins on the stair machine (no idea what the proper name is) or treadmill/cross trainer? (On top of this)
It’s always good to do anything to get your heart rate up a little so yes 5/10 mins steady pace is ideal
@@BigLozOfficial cool will do thanks for the great video 👍
I want to see a power lifting meet with strongman. You are connected. Do it
Does that mobilization also double as twerking prep? Haha. Honestly though, I really like these type of videos. I know how to lift just fine, but I often struggle coming up with some good warm-ups for the various lifts. I'll definitely be using some of this on my next leg day! Thanks fellas!
2:33 👋👌🏻
Big loz - everytime I do back squats or deadlifts I suffer from lower back pain for a number of days afterwards. I hurt my back a number of years ago and now anytime a do an exercise that puts an significant pressure on my lower back i feel it for a long time. I feel like I'm doing good form. If I do front squats is never as bad. Any advise?
At what RPE and volume does that happen?
Check out if you have an discal hernia, it's the same for me and i have a minor discal hernia, I got exercices/stretches and sport physiotherapist massages and advices, it helped me
@@SeliasSonne im not sure about RPE. I'm lifted on and off for most of my adult life and have never got past intermediate level. I squat for volume. Anywhere from 225 to 315 lbs for reps between 5 and 15. Deadlift typically 315 for reps of 6 to 8. When I was in my mid twenties I hurt my lower back deadlifting. Couldn't get out of bed for a number of days without pain killers. Pain eventually went away but never been the same. Even get lower back pain from.sitting in the wrong position for too long. I have Good mobility most of the time, but its just when I squat and deadlifting the pain comes. I just enjoy doing them though
@@rabguk How many reps do you have left in the tank when you finish a set that hurt's afterwards?
Every time I've tried planks, I've only felt it in my shoulders and haven't been able to do it long. (I'm 390lbs)
I just fire up my glutes with warm up sets.
how many sets?
How do i get a hold of you for pricing on coaching
You won't regret it Gary, I'm pretty sure it's on his website
@@getstrongby4038 ill check it out. Thank you
what about the lower back?
I want this strap\band
I just want to be able to deadlift again 😭
these are great, but now pretend I have 40 minutes to work out before work and can't spend 25 of them warming up. any ideas?
KZheadrs that should have 1 mil subs 1. Uncle Loz 2. Dave Tate, Elitefts 3. Westside barbell
These are absolute gold thank you!! Can’t wait to do these before deadlifts on Saturday
me on April 12th :0
A set with empty bar and a few light sets works for me and I don't have to remember all the stretching exercises.
Well when you start squatting heavier weights you're probably going to need to warm up more. Being warm and activating the muscles before moving heavy loads are key to preventing injury, coupled with proper sleep and nutrition of course
Haha
Loz no legs😊
Awkward angle there 🥸
Loz, you know better than this. His advice is no good.
Well this is just sad and pathetic. If you have no idea how to warm up please do not post videos on KZhead where literally tens of thousands of people will take this poor advice and possibly suffer an injury. Folks it’s very simple. 10 minutes of low impact cardio on any type of cardio machine should properly warm you up. Only then should you practice these techniques and then move on to your incremental workout.
And we should listen to you because?
@@getstrongby4038 feel free to risk injury.
@@TheJeffro451 Anybody with 2 brain cells knows what you said in your comment this is obviously specific to squats and deadlifts, this is not supposed to be a complete beginners guide for someone who's never lifted
This is really good stuff, I feel like my abs would be done before the workout 🤣
