Good day in the gym

I did deadlifts yesterday and everything was sore today. Did some shrugs today so tomorrow I might die when I wake up because of the shock from pain. Damn, I love that feeling.

Do deadlifts damn it. It will make your whole body ache but you will love yourself. Don't forget proper technique and use a belt if necessary. I use one because I sort of have a bad lower back. Damn it, it won't stop me though.:D


Can I get a hell yeah for dead lifts and being sore all over?
 
Hell yeah!!! I did deadlifts yesterday also...and my lower back was so tight/sore today that it almost made me sick several times. It hurts, but you gotta love that feeling!!! :) What kind of numbers did you pull?

Come on baby. You know I don't talk about stats. I will say that not very impressive because of my lower back problem, bad knee and hip. It's mostly the lower back though. I can go a lot heavier but my doctor is pissed off at me already. I'm just happy I can do them. :)
 
Deadlifts are fun!!! I was doing high rep sets but have gradually been dropping the number of reps down. Today will be 3-4 sets of 5 reps. Hopefully I'll be able to pull some good weight.
 
Massive size:

Start with an easy set of 20 on the deadlift. Add ten pounds per week. When you can't add weight and get the reps. Kepp adding the 10 poounds and let the numbers drop slightly each w/o until you have a new 1RM PR.
 
Deadlifts helped put a lot of mass on me. Although not world class or anything, I got up to 500x5 and 525x3 with no belt. Stiff legged off the ground with 455x3. But I've had recurring tenderness in my lower ab/pelvic region, so I've laid off for now. Kinda sucks.

On a different note, a year ago I went in to the chiropractor for a mildly jacked up L5 (warming up with 225- go figure.), and he said that my spine had bulked up and had a couple of little spurs on it from going heavy for the past few years. I thought that was pretty neat :) Wish I could have kept the X-ray.

Where's Bfold? I bet he can pull some scary poundage. Wodin is up there too, from what I've heard.

I know fold hit like an easy 630 a couple weeks ago.

Wodin should enter bench contests 565 for 4 a while back

That's depressing when he's benching more than I'm deadlifting.:bawling:

Did you clap the chalk?:D

since chalk isn't allowed in my gym, i was forced to clap baking flour which didn't really have the same effect, but it sure made me look like i was there to handle business. i don't think anyone knew the difference. and then i went home and rolled around in dough and made a pie.

Try kitty litter.
 
Nah... Corn.

I did shrugs this morning with 455 for 7 reps. I caved on #8. :)

What was your best bench??

Seriously.

I don't know....I've never done 1 rep maxes. I've always lifted through the 8 - 12 rep range till I could get into the next weight range and keep the reps and control solid.

I thought I had the 565 down for 8 and I fagged out so I backed off that into the 400 - 525 range again till I can get a solid 8.

Just my way of doing things.

Dayaam!! How do you have functioning shoulders still? Seriously.

LOL!!!!

They're good...I get a little pain in my right shoulder from front raises but nothing serious. I don't go heavy all the time either. I cycle on week heavy, one light.
 
it's funny how at my gym that the guys who can't push weight are always asking how much you can bench and the guys who can never talk about it. i want to see somebody throw up 3x their weight in person. that would be something. i don't care if the guy is 100lbs and benches 300lbs, it's still impressive.

Someone posted a video a while back of a guy who weighed like 180 or 195 and he threw up 700 pounds. No shit.
 
my traps don't really get sore from doing deadlifts on back day, but everything else does. when i do shoulders and traps the following day my traps still don't get sore. in fact come to think of it, they don't grow much either. i go heavy as i can for 8-15 reps and do about 10-12 sets for traps. they go by quick because i only break about 1-1.5 minutes between each set.
 
nope because they weren't growing when i wasn't working them two days in a row either. the only way for me is if i do a boat load of push-ups. that's the only way my back grows either, but i need somebody to sit on my back. when i was younger, i had my little brother do it. :D but now, i don't have anybody. :(
 
Train lats separately and train midback(traps) and shoulders together.
 
Just want to give a

HELL YEAH

for deadlifts.

I went heavy for the first time in ages on Monday and my back hurts in places I didn't even know I had muscles today.

WOO-HOO!
