Is deadlifts a part of your routine?

Why or why not? I heard it makes you hips bigger

I used to do heavy deads around 600+ every other week and do heavy squats on the other weeks. Now i just do the squats, I think they are more beneficial. If i want to mix things up I will do a moderate weight set then do some reps 405x20 to get the blood pumping.

I do stiff leg deads. They're my favorite hamstring exercise, but, I feel like I'm getting a great lower back workout also. I do them on leg day, but, I space my back and leg workouts apart enough so they don't conflict. I do back on Monday, legs friday.

I do stiff-legged deadlifts regularly. Great hamstring/lower back/trap excersize.

in my honest opinion deds are very beneficial to both men and women in overall body symmetry as well as strength. altho u must start small and work your way up.

That does not sound good. I do straight legged d-lifts. Bigger hips...I can't get over that...

Why would they not be...that is like asking why would you squat...but, i train for strength only...maybe you dont need them to look pretty...but, i will always include them, and i do them at the beginning of my back routine....

Deadlifts done properly is a great back workout. I do them once a week, always heavy @ 455 x 10-12 for 4 sets. Never affects my hips, just the back.

If you want big traps and fat erectors deads are the only way to go!

Deads suck but they're a must IMO...
