When people say they don't deadlift

[Mic9]

Of course brah

back routine pls? do u use weights on pullups

[Austanian]

its crazy how many of you males in the prime of your lives are made of glass on this forum...snapping backs up with weights of 200-300. did you spend your entire lives on the misc and playing video games?

like what the hell. could someone explain this?

Even farm boys and movers don't regularly lift that kind of weight for that range or motion. In real life things are just to awkward for you to be lifting 200-300 lbs by yourself. For example: the average full size sofa is 180 pounds. That is a 2/3 man job and it feels heavy as fuk.

Less so with the 200s, but when you get into 300 plus dead-lift club (which happens ridiculously fast.) you put a lot of stress on your back. The margin of error for a clean perfect lift and hitching/backrounding/twist is minuscule. When you are fully loaded one little mistake can burn your ass to the ground.

Honestly, it makes call e-stats on your lifts. Typically the strongmen understand this the most. There are SOOO many little things people do wrong and so few qualified people able to critique it that people just ruin their body.

lol at deadlift is the most alpha thing you can do....there is nothing alpha about lifting weights lulz, anyone can do that, its easy

good luck destroying your back OP, lets see how you think about it in 20 years lmao

[ApG]

that being said, i don't dead. have no ankle flexibility/mobility on one foot from an unrelated injury plus tight hammies. may do rack pulls though

[placentalprevia]

Honestly, i tried a lot of different bodybuilding workouts but i have made the most overall size progress with starting strength and then 5/3/1. Sticking to the big barbell lifts did much more for me, including deadlifts but everyone has their own path. Weightlifting doesnt have to be done only one way.


on a more relevant side my back does get a little funny feeling after my 10 sets of dead lifts.

[IYIaYBe]

No thank you jeffrey, lol @ conventional deadlifts

Trap bar deadlifts - safe and easy to perform
Glute/hip thrust - develop dem gloots, no injury risk, better isolation
Romanian deadlift and front squats

All you need for leg development along with accessories like leg press, ham curl, extensions, calf raises.

BRB no chance of getting injured, no ego, no fukt up lower back down the road
BRB deadlifting for years, one day something just isn't right and you have to lay down and rot for the rest of your life

[AngusPeppered]

Even if you think you have perfect form, you more than likely don't with deadlifts, squats, and even bench. When the weights start getting heavy it will bring out all the small imperfections with your form and you WILL eventually get injured. Quit doing deads and squats real heavy and couldn't be happier. No knee problems for this guy any more

[gentilhomme]

Deadlifting along with OHP are my favorite exercises. They're just manly as fukk.

[Shysty021]

Deadlifts arent necessary

Did them and loved them until i hit my mid 20s...now i dont fuk wit em

[muscle_marketer]

romanian deadlift crew checkin in. max 250lb lololol

[mehcba]

6 pages and no one has asked op for a pic of his back?

OP PLS POST A PIC OF YOUR BACK

[ffguitarist14]

I deadlift cuz I'm sexy and literally no other reason. Feel sorry for you ugly brahs that don't have what it takes to pick things up and put them down

[MurphDirtyX]

If your form was good and the weight was sub-maximal, how did you hurt yourself?

After the first injury it becomes eaisier and eaisier to repeat same injury

[Mic9]

After i started to hit 225lbs for reps in DL, picking up 45lbs plates became 3x easier

also my forearms feel a lot thicker now srs.

what keeps me doing dl's is imagining a women doing them too, and thinking ''what i am if some women are more brave than me?''

[rjones416]

you think in the old days men were saying **** like "i dont deadlift, its too risky i might hurt my poosy"? this just goes to show you how beta men are nowadays.

[4Adz4]

Afraid of deadlifting because im scared of fuaking up my back and stunting my growth crew checking in.(srs)

I'm pretty sure are something even worse if you are underage

[bobbydigitaloa]

Lol where did this deadlifting fuks up my back thing start? Stop doing chit wrong.

It's like saying getting girls is hard...stop being *******s...they just show up.

[danlsann]

alpha af

lol, this.

lmao @ thinking lifting 300lbs as a human at any size for years on end is good for you.
lmao @ risking injury for a completely useless motion and activity. Atleast with something like boxing you risk injury but learn vital skills in the process.



What are you gonna do, lift a car off a fukken cat LOL.

[Austanian]

Jesus, bobby you should know better than this.

The last rep of a heavy set in pretty much anything is never as clean as the first few.

When it comes to DL perfect form vs "not good" is a small small window. Hell even at powerlifting meets you see form suffer once people start failing to get it up.

Once you fuk up something in your back there is a good chance it will never be the same.

[Pastier911]

Deadlift is the only lift that made me feel like I had an IV of *******. I remember telling myself I would max on Monday and for the 2-3 days leading up to it I had the most insane energy. Indescribable.

[Doomster23]

Do what you want, but Deads, Squats, and Bench have the reputation they do for a reason.

edit: You can slip a disc picking up a towel, squeezing out a ****, or getting out of bed.

[Pastier911]

I recommend front squatting in place of back squatting if you are going to do the two multiple times a week. It is a lot of stress on your back. Front squats are more upright so less shear stress and more compressive along with getting very similar training stimuli using a relative load (% of max) this also means less stress on tendons and ligaments due to less weight. You could also do sumo instead of conventional but lettuce be reality sumo isn't the same (for me anyway). Front squats also workout your thoracic extensors much better which has direct and much needed carry over to deadlifts. Also please do good ab work.

You people really need to think about using your legs in the deadlift..if you lowback is killing you after or sore you most likely are too weak in your legs or you're just lifting wrong OR too much. Think of exploding off the floor by pushing through your heels and extending your knee/using your quads then extending your hips with a strong glute contraction. The bar should be touching your body the whole lift, if it doesn't that means you will be putting more shear stress on your back. I wrap my shins with knee sleeves because I bruise easy and sweatpants aren't thick enough.

Also realize there is no universal deadlift form. It took me years to adopt the form I'm using now because I listened to everyone else that you need high hips ect. My trex arms put my hamstrings in a huge stretch making the lift uncomfortable and more back involved. I now use Olympic shoes and lower hips to help explode with my quads then shift the weight back to my hips (explained above)

[87slosohc]

My back feels better than it ever has in the last ten years after a car accident fawked it up permanently. Deadlifting and high volume back accessory work has helped with that.

Tfw people stare at you pulling more weight with snatch grip than they can pull conventional/sumo

[noisybrah]

I used to love deadlift, now i prefer squat over it. Been deading for a few years, and always lift with round back on heavy sets lol. inb4 snap city. however never had any problems so far.

EDIT: i feel more prone to snap city when squatting vs deadlifts

[Lpenny]

Fuk deadlift, I hate it

[Workout4ever]

My deadlift form falls apart when I try to go heavy so now I just deadlift but with lighter weight and good form

sh*t leaves me sore anyways so it's worth it to me

[jesusxchrist]

Do trap bar deadlifts count?

[rjones416]

Do trap bar deadlifts count?

trap bar is like sumo so no they dont count.

[anonymous]

If you've not deadlifted at least 700lbs then maybe you should STFU and not post anything about what someone should or shouldn't be doing.

Especially if you look like a skinny fat sack of chit.
