DeadLiftS

[theironclan]

I hate them but I do this exercise till I almost pass out. Don't see too many others perform this exercise in my gym. Do you?

because they are tough, people will avoid them; but if you do them regularly, it'll seperate you from the rest.

I agree with above, I never really saw my back fill out till I started deadlifting!

 

[TheOak84]

you can get a decent back w/o them.
but i wouldnt go about building my back like that.

ill always do them, first in my routine for raw strenght, last in my routine for a change. because i know when im 90, ill still have great posture and mostly likely not be bed ridden because i was a lazy bastard in my early age. ill prolly still be deading then, who knows...

I do them, first in my workout, and it seems everytime i do them, some dumb ass comes over and asks "what is that for". I get a kick out of it all them time.

Great exercise for anyone wether youre a BB, powerlifter, pro athlete, weekend worior or whatever. I 100% agree with theoak84. Assuming theyre done properly the benifits of them can be matched only by squats IMO.

I usually do some bb rows or cable row's to warm up. Then do at least 3 sets of deads. I don't go crazy because I get injured easily. I usually do a set of 225x10-12, then 315x8, and 335x6. I know I can go heavier, but I take it easy to be safe. I do no isolated trap work and I believe deads are the reason I have decent traps.

I think I've done deads probly 3times in my whole life. I think I have a decent back.

twice a week and my back has never felt btter, One day rack deads the other day pulls from the floor.

of course.

but deading to me is satisfying, like if i dont do it something is missing and i feel week w/o them. mostly mental. but when i do them i picture me as a really large animal like a bear or lion in the wild fighting other animals or pushing over an suv or something. wild things goin through my head every minuet
