Listen to YG - he really knows his shit...lol

Depends on goals bro. Want a huge DL, you must train the shit out of it. Everybody's CNS responds differently. I personally can DL 2x a week w/out issue. I also squat 2-3x per week so I am conditioned to train like this.


Drugs will do nothing to recover your CNS (like young douche hinted to).

rofl.

but yeah, i dl once a week and im all good

I think blanket recommendations like that are complete crap. It depends on individual poundages/recovery, what else you're trying to do, and what your deadlift workout looks like.

Assuming you're trying to push your other lifts and are doing some assistance/isolation work and cardio, give weekly deadlifts with a single work set (i.e., ramping up to one near-maximal set) a shot. Unless you're a very disproportionately strong puller, there's a good chance you'll be able to handle that, but if it's still too much drop back to once every two weeks.

im not sure if this is pretty much exactly what u said...but just cause ur DLing every week doesnt mean each time has to be heavy...going heavy (max efforts) every week will take a toll...

some people like to do %age of max, like in a months time, week 1 60%, 2, 75%, 3, 90%, 4, 100%, for example

yg was more correct than wrong
as mentioned there's too many variables to give blanket advice
