Do you do deadlifts?

[GalaxyStarLord]

Some trainers at my gym say they aren't worth doing cause of the high chances of injury.

[DoctorSwag]

No point to them TBH. Can just do other exercises

They are correct

[Dr.Seltsam]

[phikappa]

Personal trainers hate them.

[jeffl1980]

no wonder you *******s are red

[uabeng]

yep, once a week...

[adamsz]

Learn good technique and don't pull heavy (over 85% of 1rm) too often and should he fine

Good advice ^^^^^ Well said!

[samt98]

A lot of people say it's the GOAT strength, muscle building exercise I would do them if your form is good but if it isn't and your going heavy it's good night sweet back

[EloquentBeast]

yep, once a week...

I usually do them every pull day. Either DLs or RPs.

[coctopus]

Used to do them regularly and really enjoyed doing them. Got up to pulling 5 plates. Now my elbow is screwed up and heavy deadlifts really irritate it. Haven't done them in almost a year, but still making good gains. Hope I can get back to doing them one day when I get my elbow straightened out.

Edit: My elbow issue was not caused by deadlifts. Never had any injuries from deads.

[Muzzlrpress]

What's a deadlift?

[shesprints]

Yes, but long femurs so that there sumo style pulling and supplement with SL kettlebell DLs and cable pullthroughs and such. I NEVER max out b/c... well, I'm not a powerlifter so who cares? Agree with the above advice not to go above 85%.

[Elevorett]

Just hit my first deadlift day in 6 months and pulled a chit ton of weight. Form was good but god damn i'm sore. I think I will go back to pulling once every two weeks or so. There's just no matching how sore I am today compared to other back days.

I used to dead 2x a week and couldn't bend down to tie my shoes.

[Mimic3]

yes but i never do less or more than 5 reps per set, thats the sweet spot for not snapping my chit up for me.

[k5dvw]

Yep, once per week also.

But laughing at "Stats: 6'3", 145 lbs" saying no point in them.

I agree, 135 lb DL will snap you in half, hoss.

[E-Tank]

lol high chance of injury can said for any lift done with a high load and improper technique

with that being said i do full deads once every 6 weeks or so, i instead work the the accessories like sldl rdl block deads etc

[FitnessJake]

I never hurt my back from doing deads, but I realized when I go mountain biking my lower back would kill me, which would be from the deads

I just switched it with Bent over BB row and weighted hyper extensions

[lucasmartin079]

no i do not do them anymore

lower back issues

inb4 form/weight/flexibility

just not worth it anymore

[Peasantfighter]

never.

I do rack pulls instead which aren't a substitute but i'd rather that than injure myself.

[LOLYEPP]

deadlifts are indeed the premier, if not the premier building muscle exersize. i can confirm i am confirmation. premier exersize

[Joeyfresh95]

Yes barely any loss in strength after not deadlifting for 5 months and can still pull the same weight without straps, chalk, or belt.

[abcdefg94]

Why the fuk is cuadrado at right back in your sig?

[Loca1Hero]

Fukkin do them!!!!!!!

[1daraghod]

No point to them TBH. Can just do other exercises

6'3, 145lbs.

[jso200688]

once a week. form > weight, keep that principal in mind you'll be fine

[Hesher]

Deadlifts are the GOAT.
