[Sub-Zero]

i will be starting these on my next back/leg workout (i woulda done em tuesday but i squat that day and yall seem to say dling and squatting in the same day is too rough).


i was just gunna say fuckit and do it anywhere, but i saw my first guy ever at the gym doing them!!! he took the spotbar off the rack (not powerrack but like angled halfrack is what i call it) and t was just high enough to set the bar, and barelys lide the 45's on and off....so im gunna be doing em there next workout!

Form is everything, don't sacrifice proper techniqe for more weight. Keep an arched back, never be over the bar, keep the bar close to you (scrape your shins)...try sumo too.

arched back? i thought you were supposed to have your back locked and your ass out sort of like while squatting? oh shit someone instruct me mega please.

over the bar? how do you mean?- and how would you not be over the bar, and have it close to your shins?

I'll post a link to some diagrams...round back=bad, arched back=good.

real men do deads while wearing 6' stilts and arm extensions

btw...the "angled halfrack" is called a squat rack

Here you go...notice how homeboy is not over the bar. Drifting over is a very common mistake, it puts too much stress on the back and takes the legs out of the exercise.

only real men and women do them. anyone in the gym that doesnt do them should quit or die.

bro, girlfriend almost spit water all over my moniter because of that comment.

if your back starts rounding, go get a belt. start light and work on form. loosen the belt up week after week until you don't need it anymore.

deads are fun, just don't get hurt in the process.

I disagree...if your back is rounding, lighten the load and work on your core...belts should only be used for heavy loads 3 reps and under...
