Deadlifts

[JoBu]

Thanks Spatts! I've never done standard deadlifts. I'd have to agree that you need to use everything to lift max weight...I was just curious where I should work these into my training. I just started a new split...

chest\tri's
off
back\bi's
off
shoulders\legs
off

I'm not consistent with the on\off schedule, but I never go 3 days in a row and sometimes go two days off. I guess I'll stick them with either back or shoulder day depending on my rest schedule that week.

I personally could NOT see doing conventional deads on any day other than back day. It is the core of my back/bi day.

I just started doing deadlifts again.... I didn't do them for ages because a knee injury, but I got back into them.

Good God. My back has never been so sore, EVER.... from my upper traps, to my rhomboids and teres major and minor and EVERYTHING in my mid-back.... right down to my erectors.... even my lats a bit (but not quite as much).... it's absolutely unbelievable. Never felt it like this before. I must've been doing them right.

Deadlifts are awesome. I've underestimated them my whole life.... I never knew it could work your whole back to such a degree. Those, with chins and barbell rows, will be a mainstay in my back routine from now on.
