If deadlifts are so good...

[whiteboyy09]

Post a video then. Lets see this. If you aren't faking it, a video shouldn't be hard for you to take, knock out some reps, and prove us wrong.

sure i'll just tape my whole workout, what lifts *******?

[Joshua91]

because deadlifting 405 for 8-12 reps using training sets is different than pulling 405 for 1. lmao.

a lot of people bench 300 and have a small chest. they dont bench 300 for 8-12 though.

1 rep max. lolz

fukin idiots up in here

ALL OF YOU ARE TALKING 1 REP MAX.

he benches 315 for 1 rep and has a bad chest.

he squats 315 for 1 rep, he has small legs.

ya but if you deadlift 405 for 8-12 for 3 sets. you do have a big back. get it yet?

[TheChadster08]

All of them. Pussy.

[Ek2]

way too pussy to deadlift heavy anymore (anything over 315)

-tweaked my back twice, both times using proper form and under supervision of other people who verified I did not break form.
-back problems run in my family
-I'd like to have a functional back for the rest of my life so I will avoid 1rm deads or anything too heavy to use for more than 6 reps


edit: You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Joshua91 again

sure i'll go buy a fuking roll of film to film my workouts

It's not, you can lift more with straps. Also wearing straps won't help your grip.

Lift more because of your grip maybe. Wearing straps doens't make your back or legs stronger. I don't care about my grip. Once I get over 225 I bust out the straps. I also use a double overhand grip.

exactly when i train back my focus is back not my fuking forearms

[Muscle Mania Matt]

e-stats.

I have yet to see anyone do more than 405lbs+ at my current gym.

I have seen two people lift more than 405lbs+ during 5+ years of working out at like 6 different gyms.

go to a different gym? I deadlift well over 600 and i am average where I train (not counting old folk, etc).

[JoshSP1985]

well when it comes to deadlifting a lot of guys use straps and weight belts along with chalk which seriously increases ur lifts/ I personally do not use any of them so my deadlift may be lower than others. Also form is a whole other thing...

Yea I lift fully raw no belt no straps, gym doesn't have chalk and probably wouldn't allow it so I'm bare skin.

There is no one lift that is a good indicator for strength. All of the powerlifting movements are pretty technical. Olympic lifting is extremely technical, and strongman events are almost the same way. When I was more into lifting for strength I pulled over 500 many times, but I wasn't very big. My arms are naturally small so it's hard to look really jacked. My back was huge on my frame though. Clean and press was 225 so I wouldn't say I was weak anywhere else, but my bench did suck in relative terms.

Deadlifts are just a cool lift because you a picking up a heavy ass weight. It's easy to appreciate a good deadlift. Deads are excellent for building strength, but it's still just one lift. For bodybuilding purposes you can argue a lot. Rack pulls were much better for me when adding mass. Deadlifts are still a superior lift imo.

Here's a helpful post among a bunch of bull****.

Why would you say deadlifts are a superior lift when rack pulls added mass better?

I can hear the excuses already. Do the main 3 then.

405 is kinda difficult if you first get to it. Sure there's some skinny guys on here that can dead that but it's still no joke. I know bros that are 200+ that have trouble with 385

500+, 600+ is a different beast.

[sakaz]

pulled 315 for 5 reps like 3 weeks ago during my bulk, tried it again a week later and couldn't even get one rep out (srs)

my bench is a pathetic 190lb

ha! it's obvious you are lying, because on 12/21 you claimed you did BB military 135x66555
. 66,555 reps w/ 135? riiiiiigggght.

[JoshSD]

Maxed at 365.

Usually pyramid up from 225 to whatever I can pull that day.

[Jackson87]

i can bench 315 but prob can't go higher than that on dl does this mean anything?

[RCATES]

Its because 90% of people who lift overtrain and don't eat enough thus keeping them skinny with no gains. My back day is 3 sets of weighted pull-ups 2 sets of bb rows and 1 set of deads and I feel like someone took a hammer to my back the following 3 days. Its hard for most to come to terms that 5-6 sets is enough. You can do 12-15 sets of deads every week and develop strength on that particular movement. Will your back grow from that kind of abuse off the juice on a weekly basis? Maybe when you first start to train but after the break in period your strength may go up but your muscle growth will obtain little to nothing.

[cphustla]

[Caergrim]

go to a different gym? I deadlift well over 600 and i am average where I train (not counting old folk, etc).

Which suggests what, that a 600 pound deadlift is average?

Haha thanks.

I should clarify that. Rack pulls are a better bodybuilding exercise imo. Deadlifts are a superior lift overall. Because of my leverages deadlifts just aren't a back exercise for me. It's all glutes and hips. For some people they will feel it more in their back, but not for me. Rack pulls pump my whole back up. For me deads were superior because adding mass wasn't my goal. I just think it's a better overall lift too. If someone could only do one I would say deadlifts 90% of the time.

[whiteboyy09]

lol strong mod neg brought me down 3 points, next time i'll be more careful

[TheChadster08]

Your insults do nothing.

I have a gut and have light weight reps.

I bench 160x8 for 3 sets. Who gives a fcuk. While you are lifting heavy, doing wrong form, stressing your joints. I'm actually working the correct muscles and diet/cardio routine. Pls go.

[Muscle Mania Matt]

no, only that at commercial gyms most people don't do good barbell work, if any. it merely suggests that if you train with people stronger than you, you will get stronger and your idea of what a "big" lift is will change.

I'm considering switching gyms for a few months just for that because what you say is true.
