Deadlifting High Reps

[flinty]

I'm looking to use deadlifting to gain some serious mass and my question is what do you think about high rep deadlifting where are you really get a burn in your glutes and hamstrings versus going heavy and low reps and not experiencing such a big burn? right now I'm doing one plate 25 reps.

You should combine heavy deadlifts with lower weight deadlifts like start pyramiding your weights up

You're not gonna do much with one plate

 

[stevesmi]

it is time for you to start adding weight to it if you can do 25 reps at 135

No. Don’t. I don’t like seeing deadlifts done like it’s a fucking fitness comp. Every pull means something. Because, like it or not, every pull is one closer to your last. Keep the reps 5 or less. Do pull thrus and good mornings for all the reps you want.

You will add more mass and strength by adding weight and doing less reps. Go for 12 or less reps each set.

go up to 2

Does this apply to everything else? Not just deadlifts?

From experience bro, it works. The stimulus is massive, provided you can execute them well. The draw-back here is the that fatigue that comes along with them is also considerable.

If you enjoy them I'd pop them on the end of a session where you've already isolated hamstrings and glutes and swap them for something with more constant tension. RDL's are a godsend here. One - two top sets of 15 - 20 reps with as much of a range of motion as you can manage.

Shift hips back, load up the hamstring.

This format blew up my hamstrings.
