Deadlifting

[captainahole]

Great post and I agree. Does most everyone incorporate their deadlifts with their back workout? If not, then what muscle group(s) do you think is best to workout with deadlifts?

I myself do bent over rows as a warm up before deads. usually 135x12, 225x10 for 2 sets, 315x6 for 2 sets then 405 deads x 8, 497 x4 for 2 sets then this week I pulled my best 567 was thrilled (max deads once every three weeks, I usually run in the low 5's for 3 and 4reps). then 3 drop sets 397x4, 405x6 x2 sets.

then usually pull downs,pulley rows and t-bars to failure.

Then I do biceps.

Deads are an instant woody. I hate listening to excuses. I train with a hernia for the last year and just add extra support to keep it under control, so I hate hearing hogwash lift or go home.

Was your hernia caused from doing deadlifts?

MOST all injuries are caused by a weakness...not an exercise itself.
