deadlifting form
When i deadlift my legs are straight i push the bar up to my shins and with my feet sholder distance apart i pull the weight using my chest back and arms up till the weight is below my stomach.
I was on the abcbodybuilding site and i noticed that when i watched his form his knees were bent. Are you soppose to use your legs at all when you dead?
B/c ive just been archin my back from a 90" to a 0" angle.

Good heaven's YES....you should have your butt down at the start of the pull...the bar should scrap along the shins.

Unless you are doing stiff legged deads, which your back must be straight the entire movement. These work the hams and glutes well.
Careful with deads, get someone in person who knows the mechanics to show you proper lifting form.

You're doing stiff legged deads. With conventional deads, your butt starts down and your knees are bent.

So ive been doing stiff legged dead lifts (i read that article you sent me) and a question goes when doing stiff legged deadlifts as compared to the ones were you use your legs what are the benefits to each of these.
Do straight legged deadlifts work your back more than if you used your legs?

Careful with these. Use light weight and get the form right...

do all you guys use straps when doing this?? I dont like the straps only for 1 reason. I like to have full grip strength w/o help and it seems to build your forearms more when you dont use straps for exercises.

Whenever I do over 350 I cant keep my back straight.
This is not straight leg.
Does anyone else have a problem keepling their back straight when deadlifting heavy or am I doing too much???
I love the rush I get when lifting all that weight but when I get over 400 my spine feels like its gonna bust.

There are different types of deads.. Stiff(hammies,glutes primary), regular.,romanian(lower lumbar,quads primary) and sumo style. Sounds like you are doing stiff.

Re-read my second sentence and reps are determined by amount of weight used. The next rep is after the 45lb touches the floor or untill legs are paralle if standing on a platform/block. And by the way many guys are refering to that abc site and although it is okay for beginning ,there are many flaws in the site so do not take everything for truth without fault.

I like to use chalk.
And I do it for reps,
I do about 3 sets warmup starting with 135 and ending with 225.
Do about 20-10 reps each set. Those I usually do straight leg
Also do good mornings
When I go heavy I do about 5-8 reps simultaneously.
When I am done I am tottaly pumped with adrenaline!
Then I go for really heavy just one at a time.
I LOVE DEADLIFTING

Just out of curiosity,
Do most of yall just let the wieghts drop and bounce all over the floor making all kinds of racket????
I never do that, I always set my weights down, barely dropping them if its really heavy.
I just never figured out why people drop the bar from way up high,
I always felt like that was just bad gym ethics and misuse of equipment, kind of get annoyed by it.
What yall thin about that.
