How often do you deadlift?

[tfuray]

Ive been doin it every week lately, but last week had me so tight it lasted pretty much the rest of the week. Now its time again and I'm hurting a little, so I was just wondering if anyone does it maybee eow and still feels they make good progress. THANKS.

I like to DL once per week - sometimes 2x at the most. WHen my back is having issue w/ it I switch to Rack Pulls for a few weeks.

Yes, people can and do make progress with less frequent deadlifting.

so tight - where exactly?

1/2 the time 1x a week, 1/2 the time 2x a week.

lower back is tight as hell several days after. I think it might have to do with the var.

what's your stretching routine like?

recommended focus of stretching a tight back:

Lots of hamstring stretching, which will also stretch the lower back.

Pulling knees to chest to further stretch lower back.

stretching hip flexors in front to balance out the stretching of around the hips.

there's more you can do i'm sure but that's what came to mind right away.
