How many of you that lift, don't deadlift?

[xeron]

I'm thinking about eliminating deadlifts from my routine. They just don't appear to be worth the effort.

I know BigAnf doesn't deadlift and he has quite a good physique.

[EyesCold]

i always have a pain in my lower back after doing them. i must be doing something wrong so i don't **** with them. last time i did them i was doing 315x5. great feeling lifting it but i just don't want to me immobile jajajajajajajjaajaja

[VTBrah]

I don't but only because I am scared of messing up my back which would stop me from lifting.

[PanzerMK1]

Sure don't.

It's bs u don't need deadlifts to achieve a great physique, just lift heavy and take a dbol


Edit: I stopped them cause of a tight lower back issue, but now I just do back extensions with 100lb dumbbell. Works your lower back alot better

[annahoward]

...keep deadlifting.

[D-1Gladiator74]

i didn't deadlift for awhile because of a lower back injury, and now my lower back is lagging hard compared to my traps/lats ect... deadlifts are he most important lift for developing a solid lower back imo.

[HoBuster]

I try to do them about twice a month, have tailbone injury.

[demolished851]

rack pulls instead of deads

Im never deadlifting again. I hadn't done deadlifts in over a year and screwed my back up Thursday and it's stil phucked today but a little better..... I don't see the need to do them either cuz a lot of guys i see that use a lotof weight aren't big and kind of weak on other lifts.... My avi is old i need to take a new pic but i do just fine without deads, benching 225x10 have over 16" arms when flexed (cold) and i weigh 185 now tryna get down to 180 , PHUCK deadlifts!

People forget the workout your CNS gets from deadlifting. Almost every muscle in your body fires to make the lift

[Sruth]

I only deadlift for 6 weeks then take off of em for 6 weeks

LOL @ people thinking if you dont deadlift you'll never get a good physique

It's one exercise bro it aint gonna make much difference if you dont like em, fuk em!

[ftwrestler]

ive actually found from a sport performance standpoint

performing deadlifts for 3-5 sets of only 1 rep is way more benificial than 2+

i use deadlifts purely for more unit recruitment.

I will squat everyday that i can, but i deadlift maybe once a week. My deadlift numbers going up much faster since i switch to a few sets of 1 rep per week.

If you deadlift and it physically hurts you, you aren't doing it right.

If you don't do deadlifts because you're afraid to do them or you don't feel like putting in the effort, you're probably weak.

[samarrand]

Never deadlifted in my life. I do squat, though

[bzhang9]

deads just make me feel good... dunno how else to describe it... it just feels good

Lol this. Inb4 Zyzz claiming deads separate average physiques from great ones

Inb4 brad jekki

[tdsItMFm]

I phucked my pelvis up a couple years ago and am afraid of doing them because I had some terrible pelvic/lower back pain for two years. Might try them one day, but for now no thanks

[mdef]

lol at dbol statement ..


I eliminated deadlifts for over two years now.. I went to do a heavy set.. went to lift, bang.. cold sweat, goosebumps, and was my lower back was wrecked for a month.. a trainer told me that.. its not a matter "IF" you will get hurt doing DL.. its a matter of "WHEN" you will get hurt doing them..

I stick to squats.. works just as well.

this, mind blown @ mindless broscience

it might be a useful, solid workout but it is by no means necessary. Plenty of other workouts and combinations will yield good results.

I'm taking a break because I was feeling a little bit of a slight pain in my lower back. I think it was just the soreness from lifting, because when I was lifting, I wouldn't feel pain really. Gonna start up again in 2 weeks.

I feel mild pain in my lower back every once in awhile, it's probably because of my posture though. When I lift, my back feels better than ever. Honestly, squats hurt my back more than deads but deads just require too much effort and I don't see the gains I wish to see from them, although I feel like my arms and legs are a little bigger because of them, but still, not worth while.

i am willing guess that your form sucks. and i would probably be right

[oahbpn]

BigAnf doesn't deadlift, but you aren't BigAnf.

[Bkcmart]
