Deadlifts every week?

[PurplePatriot]

My dead lifts look something like this:

warmups:
205x10
225x10

working sets:
295x8
315x6
325x4

is this something i should do week after week? thats what i am doing now and i get pretty worn out. Should I try going every other week?

Rather than lift the way you are doing now, perhaps you could try deadlifting two or three times a week but with lower weights and higher volume. My personal opinion is that deads should be at least once a week, deep squats too but if you're getting worn out, try perhaps eight sets of five reps with 225 twice a week and gradually move the weight up. Every once in a while I'll go heavy (for me into the 400s but I typically don't deadlift more than around 250lbs; but, I deadlift two to three times a week. Good luck.

Deadlifts are a taxing exercise, nothing is going to change that...They are supposed to "take it out of you" in some senses...Once a week, heavy (445, uh um, lol), for reps between 4-8 is enough for me...

The thing I would ask here is what are you training for Strength Muscle mass or what.

Deadlifts are great, there is not doubt about that but if you are looking for something to hit your lower back and pretty much all around back density. Look at doing Rack Deadlifts too.

Now, if you are a Powerlifter. Stick with straight Deadlifts. there is nothing else like them.

yeah bro keep adding weight to your sets. it always takes a lot out of me too. but no pain no gain.

once a week IMO

[-DedicateD-]

im debating whether to do them once a week or once every other week as well...

i want to get the benefits of deadlifting often, but i dont want to break my body down into a position were as i get vulnerable for injury

im going to prob go 2 weeks then 1 week off

I don't think you will be breaking your body down as long as you stay in control on ur deads....I find them taxing on my body, but not painfully taxing as long as I keep the reps above 4, and no more than 8....Anything under or above this rep range seems to be overkill, leads to poor form, and generally makes you more vulnerable to injury....

i agree with the rep scheme and train of thought ...i used to train deads every week for some time

i took a day off today and worked in some bb rows and tbar rows indirectly hitting the lower back....these are 2 exercises that i could not include after deadlifts at the beggning of a workout

although i love deadlifts, i havnt made up my mind yet on how im going to continue

I have T-bar rows in mine and deads, but never bent rows t-bars and deads all in the same...

My Back routine looks like this...

Closegrip Underhand Chins:

3 sets, 12-8 reps...

Superset with Widegrip Lat pulldowns:

3 sets 12-10 reps

Deadlift:
135,225,315--->warm ups

405-->6 425-->6 445--->5-7

T-Bar Rows:

3 sets, 12-8 reps, dropset on last set for 15-20 reps...

superset w/
weighted close neutral grip chins 45-10,55-8, 65-6

bb row 205-8 205-6 225-4

wide grip pulldowns - 200-8, 220-6

cgpd - 210-10, 220-8

db rows 120-10, 120-8
superset w/
wide grip cable rows 200-10, 220-8

then bicep work

[Undecided09]

You and me are on the same page with those supersets...I love to superset the Lats, hitting either the upper lats and the lower lats, or vice versa.....I think its a great way to flame them and get those isolations out of the way so you can get to the heavy compound moves...

for me, I do every other week. the week I dead, I wont squat. On the week I squat I wont dead. Both of those movements in one week is a lil much for me. I cant give 100% on squats if Ive pulled deads or the other way around.
