How many Deadlifts per week for you?

[pitbullrocco]

despite the programs and how they are written up, do you do more or less deadlifts than "normal".

what is normal.

None right now, because I'm not pushing that lift (and my back issue).

On a good day, untrained I can go pull 405 for 1 or 2 (x2 is my PR).... so disproportional it's not even funny, so that's why. I need to train my bench and bring that up to par.

1 time a week is enough for me. Deadlift leaves me with DOMS for days!

None at the moment, I'm on the 5x5, but I'm swithing the olympic lifts in for now instead of deads.

twice for this newbie

i'm thinking i want to go twice a week myself......even if on saturday.....i know about DOMS, but your body adapts to it if stressed just enough (but not too much).

Nope. Stopped doing them so I could put in another arm day.

DOMS is completely irrelevant in determining how often to deadlift. You can train through a bit of soreness with no problem, but blowing out your CNS two weeks into a program will stop your progress dead (no pun intended) in its tracks. And a lot of near-maximal pulling is a great way to do that if, as with most people who've been training the lift for a decent amount of time, your deadlift is your heaviest lift.

Once a week for 3 weeks then off for 1 usually.
