I deadlifted for the second time tonite. I used 183 for a few sets of 6. I used an underhand grip for the left hand and overhand for the right hand. What is that called? I did that becuase the bar about fell out of my hands. Is that how you are supposed to grip the bar? Also, I think my back is gonna be sore...the deadlift is awesome. Another thing and then i'm gone, what about using a belt? I did tonite. ------------------     | ||

I use that diamond bar thing that has the grips on your side. I think its called a trap bar, I ain't too sure. ------------------ | ||

Believe me, deadlifts are going to make a great improvement in your back, it's a shame it's such an overlooked exercise. Probabaly my favorite. Keep it up, you'll be happy. | ||

Make sure your form is good i.e, do not jerk the weight. This is the best back excersize. Traps also. | ||

The grip you're referring to is called the Over/Under grip. It is used for bar control. Just make sure you switch hands each time, so you're not using the same hand for the over or under each set. | ||

Deadlifts are awesome. The more experience you get with them, the more you'll love 'em. And if you're at a gym like mine (like almost all of them) where nobody deadlifts, you'll get a lot of attention when you weights really start to move up. Personally, I like using a belt. It's not real tight, but I feel a little extra support and the rest is probably just psychological. It's what works for me and, unlike the naysayers will claim, I don't have a weak back (I also use it for squats, shrugs, barbell rows, stiff-legged deads, and barbell curls). ------------------ | ||

Yep, just put deadlifts back in. Hit 135 for 8 then 225 for 2x 8 Had to go under,over for 225 though. I'll have to get some straps for them. I also switched from leg press, Hack squat. Back to normal Squat. I feel better already. Those machines are strength robbing. I was doing 6x45 on the Hack squat, and just about passed out from 2x45 on reg squats after 3 sets. Yeah I got caught up in machine stuff. Back to basics for me. | ||

Kool Aid: Only 45 pounds? How old are you? With deadlifts I did like 15 reps with 133 after my back workout. Then did 183 for a few sets of 6 with the under/over grip. | ||

Big Nick, DO I sense some humour? Yeah and I only bench 135 3x8-10 Considering I just started back at the weights. And I am in my 3rd week. I am doing good. I started at 115lb Bench. And am now back to the 45lb plates, I am adding 5lbs each session. I have gained 7lbs LBM and lost 5lbs Fat so far. | ||

I am young and fortunately I have a good deadlift due to being a powerlifter. I love thge sumo style best. I don't use gloves just rosin. for my little 140lb body I easily dead 300 4 reps about 4-5 sets. the numbers pack on for anyone who goes serious with them. I get to dead in about 3 hours. keep up with them and always keep good form and warm up completely. | ||

Of course I'm going to add my .02 on this one: BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!! Deadlifts put your lower back in a position to get hurt!!! Trust me, I know. One fuck-up on ONE rep deadlifting 5 months ago, has not only halted my progress, but I've lost 5 lbs. Worst BBing mistake I've ever made.. Yesterday was my first full day back, and I'm going to get these fucking 5 lbs. back and more in the next 2 months before I start my cycle. Anyway, JUST BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!1 |
