oh ya....love deadlifts for building thick back muscles or hams. I usually do 5-6 sets. 3 warmups with considerable weight always working up in weight then i do 2 sets at the heaviest i can do for 6 reps.

Deadlift for sure, it's extremely important in building core strength and You will be stronger on everything else for that matter....as a result of doing Heavy Deads.

I have always done dead lifts rather it be cutting or bulking.

Deadlifts are defenitelity key... First thing i do on back day, twice a week

I keep them in the 4-8 range for about 4 sets or so...But I go as heavy as I can.....Superset them with HyperExtensions for a wicked almost unbearable lower back pump.

3 sets is good, every other day

OH MAN I HEAR YA. I do Deads heavy but usually my forearms give out before my back so then i do weighted hyperextensions while holding 2 45's. I always feel like the bench/machine whatever?? is going to flip over when i'm bending down to pick them up. That would be embarrassing.

2 45's.....damn thats heavy for hypers...I hope you don't flip over,I get that feeling with a 60lb dumbell.

I usually hit them with a light warm up, then either a 10-8-6-4 or somewhere around that. Deadlifts are awesome, the tightness in the back is no though. It's funny how people at my gym look at you like your crazy or doing something retarded. "Trying to hurt yourself." Fortunately I heard they shut down the powerhouse so now maybe all the juiceheads will come home. I am tired of looking around a crowd of 50 yr. old women and 145# college kids to find a spot.

they hurt my back BIG TIME, and i have pains so bad i can't even move
so i stopped doing them and now all my back pains are gone

Hey bro, you should try sumo style deadlifts. They really save your lower back alot of stree, and you get the benefits. I alwys do them sumo style.

Deadlifts <-- the best back builder there is. 3 - 4 sets heavy is good. Just keep the form right.
