How Many Times A Week Do You Deadlift?

[wootoom]

Im just starting again. I have a nagging knee injury and it has held me off for like 2 years.

 

[Scotsman]

Once on mondays, nothing like starting the week with a full body beat down.

i used to deadlift HEAVY every single week.

now i only deadlift heavy once every 3 or 4 weeks, and otherwise just rep out in the 8-10 range.

since iv done that my squat is alot more comfortable and increasing again

Yeah I deadlift once on mondays also, but at one point I had a heavy day and like an endurance day. I would do 6 or 7 sets of 10 with 225 with only a 30 second break in between and I felt puke come up every time.

3x every 2 weeks working up to max 5

 

[Sculelos]

1-2x a week, on rippletoe 3x5 so I just do it when I'm suppost to, still seeing great gains in it. Actually I started at barley being able to do 75lbs and I did 215lbs for 5 reps today, pretty good for only 4 months of work.

twice here. On Wednesday I go up to doubles/triples at 80 - 85% of 1rm. Saturday I come back and alternate between rack pulls from two inches bellow the knee for doubles at 95 - 100% and deadlift with 35 pound plates for doubles/triples at 65 - 70%.

once every few weeks..i do lots of gm's if my back is feeling upto it..even still i noticed my dl drops if i use it to often..

 

[AEKDB]

Twice a week.

 

[jon1320]

twice a week, once on back days, and light weight on arms days.

 

[MoFoBerto]

twice a week for me too on back days.

 

[Tweakle]

twice a month

once in the rack from below knees, once from floor height or a few inches higher.

6-10 reps unless I'm feeling feisty.

The more I deadlift, the worse I get at it.. its more of a barometer of my CNS than anything else at this point

 

[DaveTSI]

every wednesday, but ill do a different variation every time. pulling heavy from the floor every week is too taxing on your cns and you will start going backwards real quick, unless your a beginner and not that strong yet.

 

[silver_shadow]

once ATM. i've done max of 2/ wk. it's a personal thing and i feel i'm better off at once a week and changing the rep range every few weeks. i do however throw in one or two of SLDLs/squats (front/back)/good mornings in there as accessory lifts.

 

[abolish the weak]

eo wk, no reason to go every wk for me, too stressful on my central nervous system, and I've found if I limit them to eo wk I'm even stronger, and my body is no as tore down all wk

If you're deadlifting heavy enough it SHOULD be scheduled before an off day. Even when I've stuck with a routine for months I still can't work out the next day my back is so sore/tired.

I reccomend once every 6 or 7 days and go heavy. 5 sets of 5 reps is good.

 

[binö]

8 times a week, anything less and you are a nancy

 

[MsBeverlyHills]

8 times a week, anything less and you are a nancy

wow!!! you are one strong dude!!

in-season when im training for a show, about once every two wks (hi rep). on the DL platform.

off-season- 1/wk (low rep) off the floor.

 

[ThaiFighter]

One heavy day a week. Sometimes every other week.

 

[Powerbuilder333]

Three times every 4 weeks, i.e. once every 9 or 10 days.
It's my one remaining respectable lift at 677.7 lbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_TLfQUvSSQ&mode=related&search=

 

[OMEGA]

when I was at my most athletic I Deadliftie twice a week rain or shine

I went up to 400 but NOTHING felt better The Marathon Sessions with 225 lbs FOR SETS AND REPS

twice a week and always on Back Day

 

[TSO]

Once a week, but that is on my current routine. I'll soon be switching up to a DC style routine which will bring deadlift type lifts to the routine twice a week. Deadlifts, rack deads, etc...
