75lbs for deadlifts? Lower the reps and increase the weight. Its not a bodybuilding exercise so you should stay in the 1-6 rep range.

What do you mean when you say deadlifts aren't for bodybuilding? Deads build alot of muscle

I understand what you are trying to say though... he needs more strength.

So what you think i should do with deads ? I mean, i've got a bit of size on me, so people think im hella strong, but im really not that strong which i've realised this week

how long have you been training? you said back in the gym for 4 days but i can tell from your avi you must have been training before

deadlifts like mensioned keep in the 1-6 rep range. sets of 6 till you get your form perfect then think about going heavier...

Relax bro, start working out at a real gym can be mind blowing and it takes some time to adapt to it, when you start feeling comfortable and have your stuff together you can start working those numbers, for now just try to get used, know the environment, try not to think about what people might be thinking of you just relax, go with the flow and in a few weeks you'll be ready to work those numbers.

6 months on and off, not very serious though, longest i've stook to a routine is 2 and a half months (working out from home), only been in a real gym for 5 days, so just finished my first week.

Alright next week will start 1-6 reps for 6 sets and see how that goes, thanks for the input!

Thanks for the comment, yeah the first 3 days at gym were a bit intimidating seeing big guys walk around, im the youngest there, last 2 days just put my headphones in and did what i had to do and walked out, getting used to it now, will keep you posted on what im lifting next week, going to increase every exercise by 5kg which ill do every week.
