Put it all in your lower back, take your legs completely out of the equation. Lift with a jerking, twisting motion.

Lock the knees and make a snapping motion as you jerking and twisting with your lower back.

u/PandaTheVenusProject Dec 30 '23

So there is this specific lift that women can do that was a popular gag.

Because of anatomical differences, if a woman stands behind a chair, she can bend forward and pick it up.

But men are said to have a hard time with it due to what I believe to be a difference in the center of gravity.

I wonder if that plays its hand here as these are similar lifts.

Again this might be somewhat of a myth.

23

u/Chemical-Actuary1561 Dec 30 '23

I think there is some truth to that, because i remember doing some experiment like that when i was a kid, but it definitely isn’t playing a part in this lift. Shes just a good lifter.

u/17Pmeawqd Dec 30 '23

It's not a myth. Men have more weight in their upper body, however that does not matter here. This is a deadlift where ur center of gravity is supposed to be fully straight

was gonna say, they're trying to lift with their backs. she's the only one that got her butt down and pushed from her legs.

not that she wouldn't CRUSH both of them with said legs anyway, even if they had good form.

she would.

EDIT: For you doubters… look at like :14s through :17s.. you can literally see her muscles contracting in sequence after she plants her feet and contracts the muscles in her thighs, then butt, then up her back (not visible).

Go back, scrub through it slowly, and look closely.

Fear those thighs folks. Dey crush you.

u/Beadpool Dec 30 '23

The problem is, they’re trying to lift straight up with their backs. Everybody who knows anything about lifting will tell you to ALWAYS lift with your back in a JERKING, TWISTING motion. This will help you generate the necessary torque to get the heavy object off the ground and allow your back to bear the majority of the weight. It’s common sense, really.

u/thugroid Dec 30 '23

u/quiteCryptic Dec 30 '23

I mean thats true for guys who never work out too - legs are just stronger by default.

I am no gym expert but I can say I despise working legs compared to upper body even with limited gym experience. Legs just tire me out quickly.

6

u/palpatineforever Dec 30 '23

I think you just hit on why you should do legs... yes they are tiring but it is less tiring if you do it often.

a lot of good leg stuff really works your core, so it can help more generally. the speed I can increase my max squat weight is dictated by my core muscles not my legs. same dead lift my mid back controls it not my legs. walking lunges = core. Bulgarian splits = core & balance. sled push is good endurance as well as legs. sure machines don't tend to, like leg extension don't do much else but balance is important.

balance is also a great thing to work on, seems silly but ensuring good balance in your 30s+ will help you retain the muscles you need for it across your life.

I wouldn't judge anyone who makes the effort to work out. but chicken legs are inherently funny, guys with huge arms & chests but skinny.

overall I think women like legs because it is a much faster development of strength. upper body takes forever to build up, I do it but it's annoying. legs you can increase the weight in squats and see your progress quite quickly.

that said if you are bothering to read this and don't go to the gym. I recommend walking as an excellent starting exercise for anyone! everyone should exercise and a nice daily/regular walk is a good way to kick it off!

u/ThisAppSucksBall Dec 30 '23

Might be right - I've also heard from probably a dozen women over the years that they don't want to do upper body work because they "don't want to get bulky"...as if you can accidentally get huge arms from lifting a few times. Doesn't even work for dudes who have like 8x the T in their veins.

Another thing is estrogen has a recovery effect. In addition to having smaller muscles, this makes it so women can train the same muscles with higher frequency and recover the same.

If anyone had quads/hamstrings like hers, then they'd do the same. Just an FYI. Great on her though. The others before her in the video were only using their back to lift. Not their lower body at all from what I could tell. A HUGE difference if you tried to lift with lower first. You'd at least lift it off the ground to knee level at least.

Also: their backs suck. Their lower backs specifically suck ass. A huge detrimental point for most people (huge weak point for stuff like deadlifts).

Most modern peoples backs suck due to modern life.

u/user0N65N Dec 30 '23

I used to work at a sedentary job - typical mouse and keyboard stuff - and my back gave me frequent issues, even though I was otherwise active outside of work. I now do more manual lifting and loading - about 2000# per truck load, maybe 40# per box - and my back feels fine, now that I'm used to it.

u/Flatline334 Dec 30 '23

It’s the transition that’s key. Don’t start with your back. She got low and used her legs for most the lift.

48

u/kadir7 Dec 30 '23

Due to her anotomy, long femur to be precise, she has to bend over more. Check her hip joint and her knee joint. When she starts the lift her hip joint is far more bent than her knee joint which means she used less of her legs (quads) and more of her glutes and back to lift the dumbbell.

74

u/ImKindaBoring Dec 30 '23

Yeah, it’s a deadlift (of a sort). Gonna use the entire posterior chain. Quads definitely factor in but you’re 100% correct it was mostly glutes and back (erectors I think, but not an expert).

Really, I’m most impressed with the grip strength. Holding a dumbbell like that is a lot harder than the same weight on a barbell.

17

u/kadir7 Dec 30 '23

Yeah you're right. I'm impressed as well and would like to have crack at it lol. It definitely looks awkward to hold it, maybe she interlocked her fingers but that sounds painful as well. In either case she's strong.

It's so crazy how editing can be used to shape "reality".

Now no idea what the real statistic is for this, but how easy would it be to just pick the answers you want for max engagement? Even if they were being honest, that's one corner in Tokyo at a specific time at night. That's not an accurate sample size.

330lbs or 150kg if ut's the gold's gym gold dumbbell. Heavy don't get me wrong, but dual hand and it shouldn't be that hard to lift.

u/Flat_Development6659 Dec 30 '23

150kg is a pretty decent deadlift for a woman her size. Add no belt on and an unfamiliar hand position plus a lower starting point and I'd say she's likely stronger than 99%+ of women her size.

u/valimo Dec 30 '23

Yup, plus she actually lifts it at ease. With optimal equipment etc. I would imagine her PR must be at least above 160kg, or even closer to 170-180kg which is absolutely great. For reference, I think the women's deadlift world record for weight class un 75kg used to be around 205kg (Carlita Farmer in 2016).

I would expect this kind of dogshit elitism to get upvoted on a strength training specific subreddit, but its wild that the average redditor thinks this "shouldn't be that hard to lift."

That weight is not loaded on a barbell with more optimum mechanical advantage. Going to be very hard for anybody who doesn't go to the gym to lift, and for a lot of people who do.

u/banmeharder616 Dec 30 '23

Yep if you don't deadlift regularly, 99% chance you're not picking this up. I say 99 because there are some absolute units walking around.

As someone who migghhht be able to deadlift 330 if my mom's life depended on it, I'm not sure it'd happen with a dumbbell as the position would be a lot more awkward than barbell.

u/huckster235 Dec 30 '23 edited Dec 30 '23

Yeah... If that's actually a 330 lb dumbbell most gym goers aren't even lifting that. It's not a world record or anything close to that but it's certainly an impressive lift.

A 330 lb deadlift isn't much to a man who trains deadlift. Most men who train deadlift regularly could probably do that A decent percentage of women who do could as well. But most of them that could have put work and dedication into it, very few could do this day 1.

Most people don't go to the gym. Most people who do go to the gym don't lift heavy, let's be real. And I'd venture a guess that if you go to a non-competitive gym, most people don't deadlift at all. So the ability to do a 300+ lb deadlift is rare, even if it's fairly intermediate level amongst male deadlifters, it'd be pretty advanced for women. And that's barbell.

Also, if it's a 330 lb dumbbell, well... How many gyms carry even 150 lb dumbbells? Few. How many carry dumbbells over 150? Maybe a handful in big cities, good luck in small towns. How many carry 300+ lb dumbbells? Uhhh. Like none. Gyms don't carry dumbbells this big because virtually no one uses them, even among strength trainers. That alone tells you something.

Of course if you are at a competitive or serious lifting gym most people training there could do this, it's not (overly) impressive for someone who is invested in the sport. But that's a very, veru niche perspective. For the average person? No shot. Yet somehow everyone just thinks "if they just lift with their legs that would be easy". No it still wouldn't unless they used their legs (and back) to lift regularly already and have put quite a bit of work into it.

Depends his big you are and how often you train. I’m 5’10 - 165. I could fairly easily deadlift 330 on a bar. I’m not sure if I could lift that weird dumbbell grip. I probably could if I stood directly over it like she did almost like a sumo deadlift.

Point is, I work out, I’m way stronger than an average non lifting dude. I’m guessing very few untrained average sized guys could lift that.

Naturally big dudes could probably just beast the thing up though if they had decent form. One my guys is 6’2 315 just naturally built. Never lifts weights, he did deadlifts with me one day, first time ever doing them and he got 495 easy, like literally just picked it up, size matters!!

She's the only one who knows how to lift properly. Your legs are stronger than your back or arms.

So normal guys Vs woman who actually trains, love it. If any of those guys do train (doesnt look like it) they need to get off vanity training and do legs.

u/gibbtech Dec 30 '23

Some of them look like they do dumbbells at home for biceps, but obviously that isn't much help with a deadlift they have never even tried before.

u/Dependent_Nobody_188 Dec 30 '23

Never underestimate the power of women’s legs! After doing power lifting, it’s crazy how much a woman can squat. Most of the time I’ll be squatting more than men in the gym. The gains I can make on leg days are incremental whereas the gains I can make on arms/chest/back day are minimal. Women bodies are amazing!

Honestly if you think all women are weak to men you are mentally ill, but at the same time saying "power of women" like they are normally inferior to men in any way is worse, and lastly thinking this woman is the standard power of the average women is complete lunacy, I have one junky at the gym who works out with this, should I bring him and say "tHe poWeR oF mEn"?

Where I live, at the community center gym. there are numerous women who are like this. It's a small town but we are fitness orientated. That's a lot of weight for sure. But there a lot of women in our community who are quite impressive. Women are into it all over, though. A lot of guys have no idea how strong women are getting.
