How often do you DeadLift ?

[spatts]

Then I'd say once a week, with plenty of recovery before those muscles get hit again. That's my vote.

Don't train as I train, but...

I do SLDLs thrice weekly.

i deadlift 28 times a day. i find that if i do too many then i get too much mass, i like staying lean at a skinny 285lbs.

 

[b fold the truth]

I only pull heavy (from the floor, contest style) about 2-5 times per year.

Same here, B. Thats why I asked him how heavy he was going, if it was full ROM, etc...

The way that I look at it...if I pull for a new 1RM on my contest lift...what did I build? I just wasted a week of training by doing the contest lift. All I did was 'test' my lift when I could have spent the same day building it stronger.

If I know that what I am doing is making me stronger in the deadlift...then why should I 'test' it?

28 times??? geez.. you must play in the back row

my preference-- stiff-leg deads once a wk.

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

I pull every other week, working up to solid doubles, not maximum effort but close

Usally around once a week. I take breaks from deads when I don't feel up to it.
