How much do you guys deadlift?

I never go over 315 for 8-10 reps, hurt my lower back doin heavy deads once, ill never make that mistake again. As long as you focus on the contraction, that is enough weight to make you grow. Well me anyway :p
 
I deadlift every other back workout. Usually go for 415 or so for 8. Double overhand with straps and no belt.

M18
 
dead 4 times a month with 1 session being the max effort, usually fall between 405 and 455 for 3. depends on how the hips feel after warm up. other sessions vary from 5 to 15 rep sets.
 
last w/o was 315 for 5 as my working set
never use gloves/belts/straps for anything.
my grip failed so I believe my forearms had not recovered from my last w/o.
next w/o I stay with 315 then next one I'll do 320 I will only add 5 pounds each DL till I get to 405.

For me, this is a good way to grow and never plateau.

I only weigh 172

edit- I do them off the floor and I move slower than most guys at my gym.
also I only DL every 2 weeks because I go to failure (dizzzy/ heart rate screaming type failure)

deadlift speaking of which i was pretty happy with myself; the other day i got 585 first time of breaking the 550 mark
 
I deadlift about every 3rd back workout. I typically go up to about 285 to 315 (rarely ever above 315) for 4 -7 reps depending how strong I feel that night. No consistent sets, again depends on feel for that night.
 
last night...450 6-10 times depending. Been doing them for 2 months now after stopping for a long time, and cant believe I ever did. Nothing makes my back and traps thicken up and grow.
 
I do 3/4 deadlifts in the squat rack, usually get around 585 for 4-7reps with straps. i don't like deading off the floor, to easy to pull or hurt something.











TRAIN, EAT, LIVE LIKE A ANIMAL!! :evil: :evil:

I agree. I got away from them for years and just went back about 6 months ago. While I rarely get sore from doing them (I am learing slowly that soreness is not a sign of growth, but for me a sign of over training that body part) they make me grow like crazy - true physique changing exercise. If I could only do 2 exercises it would be deads and back squats.

oh fuck yes...

at 5'4 mid 140's my max is 405... can get 6-7 with 315... 225 for 20 after doing the heavier 5 or more sets...
 
My last set of five I did was at 350. I also do several sets with 225 after my heavy sets. I think I am around the 405 mark for my max and growing. I just started deadlifting again after a year off. I am 6'2'' 210.
 
Most I have tried was 425. I use double over hand with straps but when I do them again I will not be using straps. I do good morning now instead and maybe some rack pulls.
 
have done 500 conventional, no belt no wraps no shoes...however due to a forearm injury while doing heavy rack deads i now have to use wraps and double over whichcaused me to start back from square one or 225 lol but am now back to mid fours for 2 sets of 5 reps.....

i will never give up deads........ :)

I do deads twice a week, 5-7 reps unless I'm on a 5x5 then it is...well, 5 reps! - full DL's on back day and stiff legged on leg day

thats tth way to do it:)

twice a week is the way to go

I never go past 315 either and often just stick to 225 for reps and reps
its almost like cardio for me
 
depressingly little these days :( last session was 525 for 11. Injuries have made me an honorary member of the tbol & primo popped-collar A&F juicer society.
 
Okay because of this post,

I am going to do dead lifts this morning, 8/10/06 and see what I can max out at

If I don’t post my results this evening, its because I pulled something and I am in the hospital
 
I do them every other workout sometimes every 3rd week depending on how i feel. My heaviest is 725lbs but i usually stick to 585lbs for reps of 6-7. There are times when i just put 405 and go balls to the wall and do reps to failure. Take into consideration that i weigh 240. So it might not be super impressive....

edit: nevermind... i read your post wrong... lol
i thought you put 'dealift season' instead of session... :mix:
yea.. good lifting bro
 
My prievious best was 300kg, (661.5lbs), but I hope to better that by the end of the year, a knee injury kept me from pulling for nearly two years, so I have had to work back up, did 280x3 (617lbs) (singles in a row, no bounce between reps) yesterday, and it felt quite easy.

That is totally raw, no belt, straps or anything.

I weigh about 240lb.
 
i tried dead lifts for the first time in 4 months the other day and ruined my lower back. I will start doing dead lifts more often now cuz the next day my back hurt but felt swole at the same time. I need to correct that problem.

If you're new to deadlifts, start with a lower weight and make sure you get the correct form first before upping the resistance.

For a standing deadlift form is as follows:
Feet shoulder width apart, gripping bar with arms just outside legs. Bar as close to your shins as possible.

Use and overhand or underhand grip or alternate - whichever is most comfortable.

Keep back in neutral alignment, head looking forward. Flex legs as in squat position. Pull in lower abs to stabilise core. Push chest out and shoulders back keeping them over the bar. Do not round your shoulders or back.

Lift the weight using your legs as the main driving force. Keep shoulders back, neutral spine position and looking straight forward throughout the motion keeping the bar in contact with the body all the way up.

The finishing point of the lift is standing up with the bar held in front of the body touching the front of the upper thighs.

Reverse the process to lower the bar to the floor in a controlled manner. You should breathe out when you lift the weight and breathe in when lowering.

Hope that helps - there's more info on how to deadlift correctly here.
