Deadlifting at a gym is interesting

[Mav3535]

I'm only doing 275x5x5, so it's not like I'm deadlifting 600
BRB so many bertstares, especially from sloots, it's like they've never seen it before (like I finish a set and 4-5 people are staring at me)
BRB trainers give you weird looks
I know I'm deading right (no back pain, feelsgoodman) so it's not that
I'm not even slamming them down, also use mats so I don't get yelled at, just in case

But this week, as I was doing my deads near a wall of the gym, 3 people over a period of 5 minutes come over and set up for deads. Right in my general space. And a literal line of deads happens lol.

Cliffs: deadlifting, bertstares, all of a sudden a bunch of people start doing deads when most don't dead at my gym

Anyone know these feels/have this happen where people start to copy you? Not upset, just curious as to other people's experiences.

Edit: lol at all the haters, do you not understand what a PL cycle is? It doesn't involve drugs. And you can't keep on adding 10 lbs every week and never stop doing that... You plateau and have to start over again, this time at a slightly higher starting 5x5 than originally until you hit a new PR over a 9-12 week period. Any people who do this and PL please chime in

Doing this currently, hope it helps to understand since apparently I'm bad at explaining myself

get this especially when pulling sumo, I guess it would be different if I went to a gym where guys actually trained their lower body though.

There are like 3 guys at my gym who can pull more than 3 plates, its pretty pathetic

[Gabriel Anton]

you must be training at Planet Fitness to get this reaction,

[andishehhank]

i remember in the last 5 years i probably saw less than 10 guys do deadlifts. now these days a lot more people are doing them. they really aren't impressive 95% of the time anyway.

Nah at my college's gym. Not sure how much better/worse that is than a Planet Fitness.

A lot of swole brahs that workout here though, I routinely see brahs squat ATG 315 for reps and a couple bench 315 for sets.

Some guy was giving me the death stare because I did a 5 plater right after he finished his 3 plate deadlift PR.

5 people deadlift in my gym crew checking in

Will soon be there because I'm at the beginning of a cycle. I've only ever seen 1 person do 3 plates for reps at my gym.

Haha that'd prob be me if I was at your gym.

"You wanna tussle wise guy?"

you started a cycle and you can't even pull 3 plates for reps?

I can't even imagine the looks I'd get I pulled sumo lol. Always pull conventional crew

[HarryFlashman]

It's extremely rare at my gym. I have seen it happen a couple of times, but it's usually just me and my mate that do them. More squat, there's one guy that squats 4 plates at my gym, but they're usually little leg twitches rather than full squats. Pointless really. Don't train at a real strength gym.

[Mav3535]

I'm relatively new to lifting weights. Ie this is my first legitimate cycle. Feels bad man lol. Should be able to pull 315x5x5 in 5-6 weeks. Hopefully.

[IAmTheOne1]

I know that feel op. Deadlifting is crazy to people who only work chest/biceps

you must be training at Planet Fitness to get this reaction,

Nah bro, I've worked out at 24 hour fitness, la fitness, fitness 19 etc and all of those places you'll get the stares if you deadlift

[Mav3535]

wat?

...

I'm cycling it meaning I'm starting lower than my max and working up until I hit new rep PRs. Go read stuff by Pavel, he talks about doing it in cycles.

[midcoastking33]

Why not wait? What's the rush? I'm not even strong and I pull 410x3 after not being able to work out my back for a year

Edit: As in the Big 3 and powerlifting

[Poyzer]

Wait until you have 5 plates on the bar and the floor is shaking.

lol, a cycle usually means cell tech(no ban pls). You're just starting a new routine.

[Flexish]

Got stared at yesterday doing deadlifts but just that female lifting factor going on.

You'll get there, it took me an entire year just to hit a 500 deadlift. Feelsweakman

[bclutch23]

stop trying to imply that you're the reason other people in your gym are starting to deadlift *******

[Creaso]

Some guy was giving me the death stare because I did a 5 plater right after he finished his 3 plate deadlift PR.

I'd corn hole you while you were dead lifting!

[Mav3535]

this lol wtf op
3 plates for reps is less than 1.5 years of training..

I've been legit deadlifting for less than a month lol. I'm building up to a new 1 RM then cycling it back down and restarting it again for another cycle.

Why is this such a foreign concept ha

I'd probably go with a different term than "cycle"
