Second week of deads....

[beastboy]

and I can't wait to get in the gym and do it. Just wanted to say thanks to all that helped me, and got me addicted to this so damn quick. I just wish I started them a year ago...and think of where I could be....

Yup, once a dude says what beastboy did, it translates to "okay, I'm done doing mediocre lifts and I'm going to start growing like a motherfucker now."

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Did somebody say deadlifts??

 

[beastboy]

Still used light weight to get my form down, but they felt great.....!

How quickly can I expect to increase the weight.....and should I just stick to them once a week?

Be patient bro. I wouldn't go more than 10lbs per week. Deads are highly compound, highly beneficial, and probably the most risk-prone excercise you can do. If you get carried away and do too much too soon, your back will bring you back to reality right quick, even with perfect form. And yes, once a week is fine.
