where do you deadlift?

[b fold the truth]

There is something amazing that you feel inside when you deadlift...there really is.

I started doin mine on a podium - snatch deadlifts that is. this way I can go down all the way to full squat stance.

Oh and I rise on my toes and shrug the bar. And boy are my calves sore and blowing up! traps too

I just find an open space on the floor. It is typically near the power racks.

I caught a few PT's in my gym taking note of my deadlifting. a couple of weeks, later, they either started deadlifting or just didn't deadlift when I was there, but I am pretty sure I never saw ANYONE at my gym deadlift. and I am the little guy...

I am still a little guy, and seem to be one of 3 or 4 people who do free bar squats (and I think I am the only one who breaks parallel) and deadlifts that I know of. People look at me funny when I do the deadlifts.

Once this big guy who was leg pressing 1000lbs asked me 'what exercise are you doing?' while resting in between deadlift sets.

I don't like hogging up a rack, so I just grab a barbell, and find a nice empty spot in the gym to do my deads. I'm working out at a Family Fitness center now, so I always get kids coming over and asking about deads when I'm doing them. I guess they get a kick out of all the weight you can put on the bar. Its an impressive lift.

Indeed there is...deads are one of my favorite exercises.

Deads used to be my favorite, but I am leaning towards push presses and squats now! Maybe because my numbers on those are going up much quicker than my deadlift numbers...lol.

I deadlift in front of the squat rack or the power rack....whichever one isn't being used.

i deadlift rightin the middle of my gym on a rubber mat.
