Deadlifts

[Zander1983]

Yesterday for the first time in as long as I can remember, possibly ever, I did heavy sets of full deadlifts. If I'm doing multiple reps over a few sets, its usually been rack deadlifts, snatch-grip or SLDLs.

I always used to be skeptical when people said that they hit your entire back. Sure, when I did different variations I could see/feel it happening, but since I've only ever done heavy singles off the ground, I'd never experienced it...

Boy, what a wake-up call! Today my entire back, including my lats, knows all about last night's 5x5. They're really like no other lift, squats included.

Deadlifts are my favorite also !
Certainly considering nobody else in my gym does em and they're always impressed by the poundages

I just did my first 5x5 on Deads the other day. I have to say that even though I am constantly bitching about my back feeling like jello I love this lift. It honestly did rip apart everything on my back.

deads are great.............they should always be in a routine some how.
