yes deadlifts are my fav excercise
I've been known to pick up a few hundred pounds.
NO way...
Those are BAD for your back. Just do some cable rows, bar rows, and shrugs...you will be fine.

guards said:I like deadlifts but find them a little dangerous. I'm 6'4 and find they really do a number on my back if i try and go really heavy. Anything passed 3.5 plates and I'll be hurting for days.
I had to give them up
Then how do you keep your bum looking so sexy? All the newbs rave about it, you must be doing something right.

I quit deadlifting, and I don't forsee myself doing them anytime soon again.
I don't feel they are a must for bodybuilding.

No....They lead to crossdressing... :

I love to Deadlift.
My favorite exercise to be honest. I hope to pull mid 7's again this year. Just have to have a healthy hamstring.

That's more like it. I thought someone had taken over your account and was posting gibberish B Fold.
I'm currently doing light deads every week. I finally started doing them nearly 2 years after my car accidents. I'll save the heavy every-other-week work for after summer.

My favorite exercise. I can only do 345 for 1RM right now though. Maybe more if I used some straps...my forearms are weak.

As far as i'm concerned, chins, freewieght tbar rows, bb rows, and hypers can build a great back.

yes, although my lower back is starting to dominate my upper back/lats and that doesn't look good........may have to back off and let my upper back catch up othwerwise my torso will look like a tree with no branches.

About what?
The forearms do not control the strength of the grip...therefore having a stronger forearm would not ade you very much at all in being able to deadlift more without straps.

So what muscles constitute grip strength? The ones in your hands? This is new to me.

string_bean00 said:
I don't know what B-fold is talking about. It's the forearm muscles...Flexor policus longus, flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorum profundus mostly.
The lumbricals and interossei contribute a little bit...but not much.
Bulldog_10 said:
Can you explain to me how those muscles improve grip strength?
Seriously...
If you want a strong grip...you need to train for hand strength...not forearm strength.

^ hand strength is generated from the forearm...
You can do wrist curls all day if you want...it is NOT going to build a strong grip.
Not that I know anything about having a strong grip or anything...
Holding a Mini-Cooper in each hand for near 25 seconds:
880 easily and without straps from 18"
325 lbs in each hand
705.5 x 1 Raw deadlift
I don't train my forearm muscles with extensions and wrist curls...I DO do lots of hand grip work.

No one said wrist curls is the only way to train forearms.

I didn't either.
I said that forearm strength has very little to do with grip strength.

There are different muscles in the forearm bro...some work across the wrist (flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, extensor carpi radialis Longus and brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, etc...). All those ones do is flex and extend the wrist.
Other muscles that begin on the humerus flex and extend the fingers...like the ones I mentioned earlier. So muscles in the forearm most definitely determine grip strength to a large degree...and when you train grip strength, you ARE training forearms mostly. Just watch your damn forarms when you grip...I'm sure you've noticed that when you train for grip your forearms get tired, right?
Bulldog_10 said:
I took phys years ago...but I'm not a buff on it.
Actually...my forearms don't get very tired at all when I train my grip...because I'm training my hand and finger strength. I train my grip in the following ways:
Sunday:
Farmers Walks
Timed Thick Bar Holds
Wednesday:
CoC grippers from www.ironmind.com as well as www.smartstrength.com
Thursday:
Timed holds with weight plates for my pinch grip strength.
Strengthening the hands is not the same as strengthening the muscles in the forearms. Still...people can do all the wrist curls they want and it is NOT going to build a good grip.

Oh man...listen to what I'm saying. You're right, wrist curls won't make your grip better, because it's training different forearm muscles. It's like saying curls don't work your arms because your triceps don't get tired.
But training the muscles for grip is the same thing as training the muscles in the forearm, because the muscles that flex the fingers are in the forearm. Aside from a few intrinsic muscles (adductor pollicus longus for one) in the hand, it's mostly muscles that originate on the humeral epicondyles and have their muscle bellies in the forearms.

I understand and agree. I was thinking that we were saying basically very similar things, but I get lost in the technical terms quite often.
The muscles that flex the fingers may be in the forearm, but it is VERY important to strengthen the tendons in the hand itself to have a strong grip. After a hard and intense grip training session...my fingers and the muscles/tendons/etc..in my hands actually hurt for a few days...not my forearms.

I like deadlifts, in particular sldl's. However, doing heavy deads on a regular basis (weekly) impedes my leg workout.
