        DL aren't even that dangerous of a compound, your grip typically fails before any other working part does. The most you'll do is pull a hamstring, or at worst slip a disc or rip a bicep if you're an ego lifting/roiding tard. That sounds bad, but a failed squat, bench or OHP will become a weighted guillotine, ready to take you straight from snap city to the fricking grave.
        This isn't to say weighted machines are safer also, they are even worse and should be considered medieval torture devices designed to quickly rupture muscles and tendons of clueless dyel morons. Anyone who has visited rekt threads knows that this to be true. Leg press and smith machine are about as safe as a Chinese escalator.

              DL bars have more bend in them, so when you take the slack out of the bar, you can lift the bar ~2" but the plates will stay on the ground, therefore reducing your ROM

              there are plenty of differences between PL, hybrid, and WL bars. but to the average lifter, they wont notice or even care. not even getting started on specialty bars

              Meant to say it's due taking in too much air.

              Like taking in very deep breath and holding it (Valsalva maneuver) to my increase intra-abdominal pressure which he said can help stabilize the my form (spine, chest) and improve the mechanics of y lift.

              However, I read it's unlikely that this would cause someone to pass out unless they were also holding their breath for an excessively long period of time. But I do the sets very slowly so I do assume I have some lack of oxygen at some point.

              Maybe I overdid it, my blood pressure dropped hard and so I had the feel of fatigue. Will keep it under check.

            More bend makes it easier to get off the ground. You aren't lifting the full weight until the plates no longer contact the floor.

    I have a love:hate relationship with deadlifts.
    Half the year I skip them because the gains:fatigue ratio is so bad
    The other half I begrudgingly do them because it's kinda fun to load up the bar with that much weight and because they give my trap doms the next day like nothing else.

    are you baiting or moronic? dl probably has the most applications out of all the compound lifts. How often are you having to lift heavy stuff off the ground? Probably more often then pressing something heavy or pulling yourself up.

      ahh, I never have to lift "heavy" stuff in terms of deadlift "heavy". Deadlifters can only lift the weight up. They can't actually do anything with the weight as it is too heavy. This has very little application to anything.

        Even stronglifts 5x5 actually only does a 1x5 of deadlifts every other workout. Deadlifts work best with 1 full working set, just do plenty of warmup. I saw great progress when first trying to reach 4pl8 doing 5rm, adding 10kg, doing 3 reps, adding 10kg and doing one. Afterwards I would do a couple sets of kneeling lat pulldowns and that would be literally all of my back volume for the day. This got me from 3pl8 to 4pl8 in about 10 weeks, and got me from 0 pull-ups to 3-5 depending on the day in the same timeframe, also my lats exploded so fast in about a 4 month period I got stretch marks on them despite losing 25lbs in the same timeframe. Deadlifts are absolutely amazing for strength especially in the noob phase, combined with a proper row/pull-up you'll have literally everything you need to build a ton of back mass.

      You definitely shouldn't have started with 100kg. You start with like 60kg and just work up over time, also 4x8 is an absurd set/rep scheme for deadlifts. You shouldn't really do more than the 5-8 range on deadlifts and you really don't need more than a set or two of proper work. For example, madcow has "4 sets" of deadlifts, but the only the 3rd and 4th are really difficult in any way and the 3rd is significantly easier than the 4th. My advice is work up to ONE top set with deadlifts of no more than 5 reps. That alone will do more than enough for insane strength growth and back pump.

          start at 60kg and add like 5kg per session, taking that extra month to build up will benefit you a lot long term and you'll plateau much later. Deadlifts can be surprisingly technical so taking the extra time to actually learn the movement can make a HUGE difference.

          If you start at 80kg and increase 5kg per week, let's say you plateau at 110kg and have to deload to 90kg to progress. By the time the deload is over, you will be at the same point you would have been at had you started at 60kg and therefore had more time to build up strength. You will then proceed to plateau again sooner than if you start a bit lower, and will make less gains long term and potentially lose months of progress. Worse, your form could be shit long term and you stand more to risk in terms of injury. Just swallow the pride and do "low" weights for a month or two while you learn how to harness your whole body in a way you presumably never have.

            Alright, thanks fren will do that

            How much would you recommend doing Diddies though? Once a week or do it 3 times a week (I do at the moment 3 times full-body in a week). I've read somewhere that Deadlifts are so heavy, that you shouldn't do them multiple times in a week (?).

            But you have a good POV.

            • 1 year ago
              Anonymous

              At least once per week, no more than twice. Really can't recommend deadlifting *heavy* more than once a week though. Second session doing something like 50% of your 1rm and doing like 10 rep sets and focusing on really strict technique can be beneficial. It depends a bit on how much you are squatting heavy since they are both hip hinges. At a time when I was new (bad mobility from no athletic experience) I couldn't squat heavy, so I got a lot out of twice per week, doing conventional one day and a variation the other. Once my mobility was fixed and I started getting an appreciable weight on the bar for squats, I couldn't do deadlifts that much because it was just too much fatigue.

              TL;DR no more than once per week unless you're barely squatting at all (you should be squatting) then maybe twice.

      Your muscles consume oxygen and heavy lifts like deadlifts use a lot of different muscle groups so they can potentially consume all the oxygen in your body which your brain needs a steady continuous amount for you to stay conscious. This is something that's easily alleviated by either improving your cardio or taking longer breaks in between sets.

      This also, start lower and stick to double overhand so you can build proper grip. It would be pathetic to be using over-under or straps and barely be doing 2pl8. Also, I cannot recommend chin-ups enough as your other main back exercise, if you can't do them kneeling lat pulldowns are ideal, normal lat pulldowns are okay, any sort of proper row that requires stability like a pendlay row or inverted row will do a lot too.

      Most back progress I ever made was just this:
      3x(5,3,1) Deadlift (increase 5kg per session)
      3x8-12 kneeling lat pulldown (later chin ups when I got stronger) RPE 8-10
      3x8-12 Hammer Curl RPE 8-10

      Everything after that is overcomplicated and frankly unnecessary for a beginner.

      Yea, maybe if you do it wrong or go too hard to quick for any length of time. Most dudes in between sets count the time but what they should be doing is feeling how their body feels after a lift. All it really takes is to acquire the pump or feel something with the intent to grow stronger from the onset and not necessarily strict discipline. Outside of strength gains, aesthetics, and generally being better than other people the iron can make a man know himself better than any teacher on Earth could possibly teach him. Soreness is a good feeling despite what it does because once the soreness fades, new gains remain. People don't have to work to exhaustion. That's actually were injury occurs the most.

        The risk to reward ratio is a joke, if your back curves even a bit your fricked for life, and for what? What do deadlifts give you that you couldn't get with a safer lift?

          >Curves a bit
          It probably curves a lot before it breaks but people aren't aware. Also you can do other exercises to make the back stronger while bending. It's why training with common house hold tools like a wood chopping axe as a melee weapon is great. You take wide arching swings and curve that back in ultimate safety while giving your core a great workout. The hardest punches utilize the back being thrown into it which is a twisting motion to a degree. Back bending when felt is your sign to stop. It doesn't just snap like a twig on the first bend. There's usually a lot of bends before injuries.

            Anecodtally, i get way less injured doing strongman training than just powerlifting style. More varied movements is better long term.

              exactly, as long as you're not moronic about load those movements bulletproof your lower back.

    Plus you got to think ahead. If you exhaust all your strength for quick strength gains you leave yourself temporarily weaker against physical attacks. I don't work until exhaustion anymore and I'm still improving.

    How is this NOT bad for your upper back and spine?

      Upper back is not really used. It comes down to form really. Deadlifts are deceptive in that you will be able to lift weight that's too heavy for you by changing the form. That's how guys end up all fricked up, when they're beyond their max and then you start to see them engaging their back. Most people are used to picking up light objects by bending at the waist, that doesn't work for 200 lbs, you need to unfrick that instinct

        You aren't supposed to engage your back? How else would I lift it if not with my back?
        I mean I could drop my hips and basically just squat the weight up, but that doesn't seem right.

        you havent lifted once in your life. deadlifts hits the entire posterior chain

        yes you do. you have to engage your lats, brace core and push with your legs.

          Thanks, thought so.
          I'll continue lifting with the best form I can and I won't pay any attention to DYELs on the internet.

    How many times do we need to go over this shit on IST? Stop being a pussy. Do the lifts that have worked for 100 years.

    Yeah, I'd say deadlifting is good. Just don't be a fricking mongoloid ego lifter, get a good belt, and you'll be fine. Only fricking idiots get broke off deadlifting.

      I just do high rep RDL's.
      30 year old boomer that got back into lifting after a decade off, and my conventional deadlifts is miles ahead of my squat so focusing on that. Also became a bench connoisseur, which I hated in my late teens.
      Only thing that sucks is that I am going to be weak off the floor when/if I eventually get into normal diddlies, so that will have to be fixed.
      Otherwise 6-10 rep range RDL's is peak comfy and productive. I put all the thots at my gym to shame with my form and ROM, I have beat them at their one and only game of sticking out your ass in the most aesthetic way possible.

        Nothing wrong with RDLs.
        I was always fortunate that my squat and dead were close together. Oddly, my dead progressed the most as I got older while my squat kind of flatlined, haven't gone above 510 in almost 20 years, but the goal is to hold on to 500 for a max for a few more years as long as the body is good with it.
        Keep showing up the gym thots, anon.

    One time i was doin deadlifts and felt a pop in my leg. Shit felt legitmately injured for like a week. Thats when i felt the importance of warming up for a deadlift. Basically i just threw weight on like 85 percent of what i was gonna lift but i mean i did like 20 bodyweight squats and rode the bike prior. So idk how much warming up i needed. Also the pop didnt hurt at the time. So i just completed the sets. Left went home two days later it started to hurt. Idk what happened. Probably minor strain. Locked my knees too early or something idk. Now im real frickin careful bros

      Normal warming up is 1pl8, 2pl8 or alternatively 1.5pl8, 2.5pl8 and so on until working set weight. Sometimes I also like to hit slightly higher than work set for a single just to fire up your brain, makes the sets feel easier. I do this for literally everything.

        This. If I'm pulling in the 500s, it'll be:
        >1x10 @ 135 lbs.
        >1x5 @ 225
        >1x3 @ 315
        >1x2 @ 405
        >1x1 @ 455
        >1x1 @ 500
        I'll walk 2 minutes or so between warm-up sets to keep the blood flowing, and so far, so good. I used to be an idiot, get to the gym late, and start my warm-ups with 225 or 315, but frick that shit, I'm too old for that nonsense now.

    Deadlift seems more natural than squat to me. When I squat without a bar, I can’t get below a quarter squat without tucking and rounding and lifting heels and so on so I just don’t do it.

      That's just shit balance/coordination and/or mobility. I can almost guarantee your deadlift form is suffering from it too.

      Gotta open your hips up. Wider stance toes out

        yeah this works, but then I still leave forward quite a bit. It seems more like I should be doing wide stance deadlift or goblet squat then back squat.

        That's just shit balance/coordination and/or mobility. I can almost guarantee your deadlift form is suffering from it too.

        nah no mobility stuff helps. I have fricked up back from when Iraqi dropped me over his knee or something and then car crash later in life, or just scoliosis or something. Either way, it is not like other people's spines at all.
