    Deadlifts,deadlifts,deadlifts,deadlifts,deadlifts,

    WOW!!

    About 3 years ago I satrted doing Dead Lifts, for about 6 months straight I went from 225x4 reps to 380x4.. never have I gained so damn much just from one excercise.. Sadly when I stopped working out for some personal stuff I went right back into and hurt myself.. so its been about 2 1/2 years or close to it since I dead lifted.. I did them yesterday for the first time..

    135x8
    135x8
    1358x
    225x6
    225x4


    I am going nuts on how good I feel right now..

    Anyway I guess this is just a plug for this awesome excerise..

    I never do.. ( but I know that's NOT why I hurt myself )

    From what I remember reading, NOT wearing a belt could actually be safer for you, and increases strength..

    When people wear a belt they usually try to go heavier and "FEEL" like they can do more than they really can.. Plus not wearing a belt is supposed to increase you're ________ Muscles ( I forget what they are, maybe you're balancing muscles ) some thing like that..

    No belt, straps or gloves. Just pure intensity.

    Meaning, both of my hands are overhand, not one over/one under... just my preference...

    I usually have to use straps on anything over 405. I only go overhand grip 405 and up because I know how easy it can be to tear a bicep with the over/under grip w/ heavy deads. If some of you guys can deadlift in a rep scheme of 6-8 w/ 4 and 500 lbs then you have awesome grip strength and I'm jealous.

    Im guessing straps here? My eyes are pretty wide reading this because I assumed all along no straps...I dont know how 405 overhand w/o straps is possible..why im wondering

    I strap my deads because I get in MUCH better reps when I strap up. I usually throw on the straps starting around 315. I know this minimizes my forearm development that I would get from deads, but it IMPROVES the back workout I get. FYI, I train my forearms twice a week, so I'm not really losing anything.

    Deadlifts are awesome.... I definately feel like they take the most out of me after a set. I usually see stars after doing a good set. It's also the exercise that I can progress the fastest in; when I started I was pulling 115x8.... a couple of months later 315x8. No wraps, just gloves. My grip starts slipping at that weight though.

    Too bad I have something wrong with the discs in my back; it's kept me from progressing much further with deads.

    Depends on your rep scheme. If you can pull 475 for more than 3 or 4 reps w/o straps your doing good. I tend to use them because I'm doing the exercise to build my back up, forearms get worked w/ arms anyways.

    i see stars also. kinda dizzy feeling. i just started deads 3 weeks ago and was surprised to pull 225x9, but then again my back also develops quickly with minimal work. after 275 i strap up. deads are by far my favorite exercise at the moment. i knew i should have started those years ago.
