Deadlifts

[Test boy]

JV, that's a bunch of weight for a first-timer, even for a 20-year-old back. Be sure to watch your form. Don't get carried away bro.

That is a lot of weight!!!

I'm concerned that the sharp pain around the right hip is caused by nerve impingement or something. It is a pain unlike any other I have experienced lifting.

do em on your upper back day, easy to overtrain them. You will find that your other back exercises will feel light after hoisting 500 or so. I would work sets of 3, dont take them to total failure. I do 135-10, 225-6, 315-3, 365-3, 405-3, 455-3, 495-3 and I am done. My last set is a good comfortable 3 reps. Now I just need to get ya in a powerlifting event. Fun to deadlift in front of a crowd. Saw a 795 from a 220-pound man this past weekend. Best of luck,

thanks a ton heavywear im going to intricate that routine in my back lifts

I assume it's a good idea to keep the rest of the lifts besides your deadlifts on the downlow

i weigh in at about 184-187 right now im 19. I could probably drop to around 181 if i dieted maybe even the 170's i would be very very thin, im 5'10 and did some cardio. my brother just told me that was a weight class. but i need some time to see where i go with this. get up in the 500's. what do ya think the top tier deadlifts for that class?

I am totally clueless about powerlifting events. My bench would probably kill it all my long arms can only max about 225 or so. actally up until about 2 months ago i couldn't get up 205.

blah maybe i should start posting in the powerlifting board

I would like to say I started oding deads this past back day for the first (serious) time, and I love 'em. I maxed out at 255 for 8 reps with close to perfect form. if my legs were shorter, I would have perfect form.
