Why all need to DEADLIFT

[makedah]

It made sense to me. I think my problem was that I wasn't doing much in the way of variations...

We have so many varaitions that sometimes it's months before we do the same move twice. lol

We love mixing heavy compound movements in our workouts; keep in mind though, we work more for aesthetics than for strength (although we are pretty strong). Love squatting and deadlifting (SLDL/RDL/Diamond bar -- not conv. or sumo) on the same day! Promotes character ... Of course, we don't do this everytime, we rotate exercises too, but on legs, we'll generally have two heavy compound movements followed by isolation work. And, if there's a day we're not feeling it, we back off -- natural periodization I guess ...

Thanks Realgains... your posts have been very helpful for my form and training. I've changed a lot of what I've been doing after reading a bunch of your different threads.
