hiya a need help with my dead-lift i can do all back work out and its fine! but when it comes to doing dead-lifts when a get to 100kg my back starts to hurt and its nippy for days after is there somthing a can do? or should a just stop doing them altogether?

don't exactly know wtf you're getting at....

tape yourself and make sure your back is straight is my only advice right now....need more clear info...

thanks mate much appreciate that

what do yas think about this.... a have been working out on a 12,10,8,6 rep's the waight going up by 10kg as the reps come down.

but a was told to start doing 10sets of 6 at the same waight instead to grow bigger whats the best way do ya think?

gotta mix it up....i've never done the 10 sets thing for deadlift...done it for squat...kinda a once a month deal.
personally I pyramid something like
20, 15, 12, 8, 3, 1 with
135, 225, 315, 405, 495, 585

Use a belt, try quarter deads i love them and they get the job done.

Quarter dead are where you place the bar in a rack about knee high. That's as low as you go. Its a bit less traumatic to the back and gets the job done.

i find my back will get a little sore if my feet are too close together (inside shoulder width)
if your new to them just start out really light and focus on technique.

just like squats, make sure your knees don’t go in front of your toes. It should be a sitting motion.

I find when I am doing squats, deads or any back exercise, I keep my head up looking at the ceiling the entire time. It keeps your back straight and should help A LOT

all grate advice gus cheers

Congrats for having the stones to do deadlifts. There is a lot of nancy's out there who don't wanna do deads for a variety of reasons, most often "injury" concerns. Done right, probably the best exercise for building mass, that and squats. Of course, there are large fellers out there who never do deads, but that's just not my style.

like rose rose said.... try rack pulls (or quarter deads as he called them)
most likey why your hurting yourself is bad form. or to much weight plus bad form.
go on youtubee and search rack pull/deadlift videos.
watch their form.
