hey, i tried the cable deadlift for the first time today and i have to say it just seemed too easy. Is this exercise worth doing? the machine only goes upto 100kg which we had no problem doing.

I cant see much benefit myself unless your a beginner and incapable of lifting heavier weight.

Even a beginner should be using a barbell to get used to using correct form. Forget cables!!

When using cables, you must think back to your old public school physic 101 classes.
Depending on the pully system, the amount of force required in order to move the mass can vary. A single pully system's weight will be much harder to manipulate than a double pully system.

Do NOT re-invent the wheel please
If you think you can, you will.
If you think you can't, you're right.

i remember seeing an article on t-nation about cable deadlifts. I remember it being used for more of a 'bodybuilding purpose' or something. Personally i say just stick with the original BB deadlift

Road to nowhere. You'll quickly run out of weight. Load up a barbell or trap bar and learn to do them properly.Originally Posted by MancScott
If you want a cable exercise for the lower back, glutes, and hams, try pull-throughs.

WHY cable deadlift? This is ridiculous you cant deadlift using a cable. The bar won't travel in the proper path.

i find cable deadlifts are more effective if you do them one legged on a swissball while blindfolded.

At my gym (I'm pretty poor and cant afford better) we don't have barbells and only have dumbells up to 10kg... we do have a cable machine, would it be worth trying out cable deads for a few weeklks to see if they're at all effective? Or would it be a better use of my time trying out more basic compound exercises (rows, lying rows, pull ups etc?)
