deadlifts reps and sets

[paddy155]

How many sets and and how many reps should you do of deadlifts on back day ? At the moment I have been doing 3 set's for my lower back. Reps are 6-10,3-5 and finished off with 11-15 of the lightest weight of the 3 sets. I am not sure if this is maybe to much. Any advice guy's. Was thinking of droping the rep's ?

personally i dont like doing multiple sets with deads,especially when going heavy as form can suffer so i do 3 warmup sets then 1 effective set,3x per week.it works perfectly.

I like to do a warmup set of 15 (very clean and light, say 135 or so), then
225 for 10
285 for 8-10
315 for 5-6
385 for 1-2

I like deadlifts and think they are the most important exercise one can do. JMHO

are you getting bigger? if the answer is no, and you have given your current schedule enough time to properly answer it, then change the rep range,change the number of sets, increase your weights etc.

I hit about 4 sets. I really like doing deads with a lower rep range..sumtihn like this

315x8
365x8
455x5
525x2

I hit both rep ranges and the third and fourth set really test you

Damn bro. Those are some good numbers. I hit 410 for a PR the other day and was happy. I also like to keep my reps relatively low, especially once I get really heavy. Lots of triples, doubles, and a single or two.

I like Chest's way of doing it the best of those suggested....I wouldn't recommend doing doubles though on ur heaviest weight, chest has obviously seen results so I'm not gonna tell him to change, but for me I don't like singles, doubles, or even triples. IMO the muslce that your working needs to be under stress for a minimum amount of time for significant, deep, and effective muscle tear to occur...that doesn't happen in under 4 reps, IMO, or from my experience, that is....

i like doing 2 or 3 sets of 4 reps. i agree with grappler deadlifts should be a staple of everyones routine
