how many sets/reps for deadlifts.

[rudy2011]

Ive been doing 1x5 deadlifts with like 3 warm up sets (1x5@90, 1x5@130, etc..)

Was wondering if doing more sets/reps would bring more results...

[aec32094]

3x6, 1x3, 1x1

[beardymcbeard]

I would recommend more sets, but I'm a volume person


I do like, 3 warmup sets then about 3-6 working sets. Reps vary from 1 to 8, sometime I randomly do a rep maxout (like, 15+ reps..)

[toasted11]

2 warmup sets 10-12x135

Then 4-6 sets between 4-8 reps. I normally keep my deadlifts for in strength range and other exercises in hypertrophy

[rudy2011]

3-6 sets?

I try to go heavy all the time (trying to follow SS concept of adding weight every workout)

"aec32094 3x6, 1x3, 1x1 "

Im thinking about this one.. but was wondering if i should add more weight for the last 2 sets.

[rudy2011]

bump...

[rudy2011]

ok i was asking because i was doing deads today, and here is what I did... 2x5 heavy, 1x8 decrease about 25lbs...

would this be tooo much?? or stick with it for a while?

Depends how often you do them and with how much weight, they're tough on the body recovery wise once you get to higher weights.
But generally, I wouldn't do more than 6-8 work sets per week, and that may be pushing it.

[Maxwell1995]

1x5, 3x3, 3x5, 5x5 are all that I normally do. If I'm doing SL I'll sometimes do 3x8 just cause.

Everyone's different with deadlifts. Many people like sets from 3-7 reps.

I personally prefer singles reps on anything approaching heavy weight. Why? Easier to maintain your technique and it lets you put all your effort into a single motion.

Typical day (if I'm working up to 405):

225x3
275x2
315x1
365x1
405x1

I'm liking the principle.

The Tate Warm-up
4 x 5 with the bar
2 x 3 with 95 pounds
135 x 3
165 x 3
195 x 3
225 x 3
255 x 1
280 x 1
300 x 1 awesome ****ing rep.

Same principle

I'm liking the principle.

Works great in practice, I find. I get my best results with a few singles around 85% of my max and adding weight when it feels lighter. Got my deadlift up from 315 to 475 in 7 months.

For the singles, yeah. I don't see the point of all the extra warm-up. You should have warm up sets, but most of the effort should be spared for the bigger weights.

[YANGSHIM]

warm up
1x5 bar
1x7 whatver weight is right for you

4x5 of heavy weight
