I remember reading before on here, that you don't need a ton of weight as you do for other exercises to get a solid workout doing Deadlifts....
Why is that?
I'm doing the 5x5, and although you start out slowly, the goal is progression.
However, when doing stuff like deadlifts I've always been a bit afraid to go for too much and toss out my back.
I recently just started doing them, and although compared to many on here my DL weight is tiny, i can feel it in my lower back!!
REMEBER I ONLY STARTED DOING DL's!! and didn't want to go too heavy too fast and toss my back.
But last time i did em I did 4 sets or 12 reps. Weight was 70/80/80/90lbs
What do you guys think? I know it's nothing, and I can likely add some weight and drop some reps.
Given i'm doing 5x5 what do you think I should start with. (first bit is easy in the 5x5 remember)
Also, can someone quickly validate my DL form. I found it hard to get a detailed view on exrx.net of it, and i don't want to take a chance with these and throw out my back.
-Start as if you were squatting. Overhand grip.
-Pressing up with your legs until straight. While going up, also straightening your back.
- At the top roll your shoulders back.
Do the opposite to lower.
Thanks again guys.
Cheers.
