seriously wtf do deadlifts work
>herniating discs for "biceps femorus" and "erectus spinae" "hypertrophy"
speak fucking english
legs
>>36015547
Go do some and find out.
Biceps and pecs
>>36015547
JESSE WE HAVE TO LIFT
i just did 2 pl8 deadlifts n me bak urt bad mon
I agree, I don't think they are worth the back problems which inevitably arise. Stick to squats.
>>36015605
this, no one is ever going to admire how big your fucking spinal erectors are

How about you go and do some research and learn something, you ignorant fuck.
>>36015547
Upper back. You need them because if you don't, all the pushing motion will cause a forward strength imbalance, which will pull your shoulders forward and cause problems in your arms/upper back. Also, your hamstrings and glutes will become somewhat underdeveloped because squats tend to hit quads a little bit more, which will result in problems with your knees and groin. Your posture without deadlifts will be shit.

They work your hammies and back hippers, prime uggozones for lowtests like myself. I do them to sculpt my lovehandles
Im at 365 1rm now

> deadlift
> back problems
Back problems are the least of your worries when doing the deadlift you'll likely injure something else like your hamstring if you're doing them frequently.
Besides that I know nobody who injured themselves on deadlifts. I do know some people who injured their wrists and shoulders benching and I also know people who had knee injuries such as meniscus tears, acl & lcl tears.
You can do some prevention on the above mentioned but most of the time you're just unlucky.
>>36015663
>your posture without deadlifts will be shit
That's only if u already have shitty posture dumbass.
>Deadlifts
>upper back development
You're just pretending to be retarded right?
>>36015605
>back problems which will inevitably arise
Oh yeah because all those powerlifters who specialise in the deadlift are afflicted with bad backs...
Fuck off and fix your form.
What could possibly replace deadlift? It just feels like irreplaceable
hamstring curl + back extensions ??
>>36015663
I am a firm believer that every person on this planet should train deadlifts, so don't call me a pussy who is afraid to deadlift when I say this. You are fucking retarded and need to do some research before you even consider giving any advice to anybody ever again.
>>36015547
engage those fucking chicken legs!
>>36015616
>tfw bros at my gym mire my spinae erectors all the fucking time
>>36015547
traps, lats, lower back, glutes, hams, calves.
Deadlifts has worked wonders for my back. I'm too tall for my own good and have had back problems since puberty. Always done floor back exercises to control the pain. Since I started deadlifting 10x3 twice a week, I have absolutely no back pain. I don't try to lift heavy though, I stick to 50kg+bar and it works great for me.

I fucking love my spinal erectors. Of all the muscke i have, i find them most impressive.

low quality bait
>>36017195
I dont know why people think that strengthening your back will somehow damage it. The human back has an incredibly high shear force. If your back is held straight then it should never get injured. You fuck up your back by bending it. Deadlifts are the perfect back injury prevention exercise. I dare anybody to show me one cawe of somekne hurting their back with deadlifts and proper form.
>>36015547
Ask yourself this: 1) what joints are changing in angle and 2) what joints aren't moving but there's something holding them so they don't rip apart?
For 1), in the deadlift, there's angle change at the knee joint and the hip joint, primarily. The knees and the hip have been flexed. We want to unflex them. That's where the extensors come in. What muscles work on the knee joint to extend it, as to increase its angle? The quadriceps. What muscles work on the hip joint to extend it, as to increase its angle? The hamstrings. (the hamstrings also attach to the knee joint, so it also helps to extend the knee, but the primary mover is still the quadriceps). For 2), almost everything: forearms, biceps, back extensors, glutes, and many others. They help stabilize your body so your body doesn't rip apart. They also get some work to a lesser extent.
it feels good on my abs and forearms
>>36015968
This. People freak out about dl's, but I've never known anyone who injured themselves while doing them. I've injured my shoulder benching though and that's super common.
Asically just don't try deadlifting 700 lbs right away and they're fine.
>>36016005
a combination of heavy zercher squats and good mornings would do it, if you had to
a lot of things
>>36018448
All these muscle plus more
>>36015547
I asked the trainer at my gym how to do deadlifts and he told me one hand should face forward and the other inwards.
That doesn't sound right
>>36016005
Romanian deadlifts. They have more posterior chain activation and are far safer than memelifts. The fact that anybody who isn't a powershitter still does deadlifts boggles my mind.
>>36018796
>bouncing the bar on your back is far safer than memelifts
>>36018757
I do this. Find my form and grip is better.
I do a lot of rock climbing on the side as a hobby and a lot of my climbing buddies ask me what the one excercise other than just climbing more they should be doing. I tell them to do some fucking deadlifts.
Works your legs, back, and builds a shit ton of grip strength.
>>36015547
>seriously wtf do deadlifts work
Your ability to use your fucking body to pick something up.
If you can't figure out how to deadlift, or you refuse to do it, then you're a pathetic pouf.
>>36018853
Romanian deadlifts don't do that you dumb fuck. Jesus Christ, people on /fit/ know so little about lifting, it's kinda frightening sometimes.
>>36018925
doesnt that create some sort of imbalance? do you switch them?
lower abs, lower back, and legs
>>36015616
Idk breh my gf loves my thick back and weirdly my relatively unimpressive arms
She says I look like I'm actually strong and not someone who tries to look strong by doing chest and bi's
>>36019174
You're supposed to switch hand position every set you use it on. You're also only supposed to use mixed grip when normal overhand grip fails, so at most you should only do it once or twice per workout.
>>36019174
>doesnt that create some sort of imbalance?
Yeah, you'll be so lopsided that your purse will fall off.
>>36019239
kek
>>36017643
>we want to unflex them
>unflex
Are you trying to say extend
>>36019174
mixed grip ensures that the bar doesn't move throughout the lift. You can also drop weight and do double overhand grip.
>>36019158
Are you doing paused RDL? How do you RDL without a bounce at the bottom?
For the record i did nothing but deads (no accessories, no lat pulldown, nothing) for the first year of my training, and ended up with two (mediocre) strips of erectors down my back, with pretty much nothing else around it. (See pic)
I could do sets of 5 deadlifts at 350lb, but yeah. As you can see, pure deads only = not ideal
>>36019371
kek
>>36015605
>>36015616
Actually I have girls mire my spinal erectors all the time. They love em.
Deadlifts like anything else will injure you if you're a dumb faggot with shit form.
>>36015605
You right, you right. As a matter of fact, lets just quit life all together. Its not worth the physical health, financial, and emotional problems which inevitably arise.
>>36015616

>deads don't work traps and lats
You know how I know your deadlift sucks?
>>36019371
>>36019584
See they don't you fucktard.
>>36018757
If your grip is weak you do that. It's called mix grip. On warm up sets or lighter working weight you should always grip the bar double overhand to improve grip strength
>>36019602
Blow me you dumb faggot.
Deadlifts work traps and some upper back, maybe not quite as much as lower/ erectors but they are still worked
>>36019602
then what makes it possible to deadlift with shoulders in front of the bar?
GUYS I FUCKING DID IT I DEADLIFTED 300 LBS (felt like using the 2.5 lbers to get it at 300 I know it looks a bit silly)
I know its nothing special but ive always had kinda weak lower body and im 6'7 but its the heaviest shit I can lift
>>36019627
nice childbirth hips faggot
>>36018448
No bicep or triceps work?
Thank you, but no. I prefer curling for the chickz. Good luck not getting laid, virgin.
>>36019661
>I have no argument against the muscles worked by deads despite calling the poster a fucktard and claiming otherwise
>better just comment on his hip size, that'll show em
Clever anon, why don't you go back to struggling with 2pl8 twink
im considering just ditching deadlifts as a whole. i cant keep my god damn mother fucking back straight while pulling conventional.
>>36015605
>I agree, I don't think they are worth the back problems which inevitably arise. Stick to squats.
He doesn't know that feel when the entire gym stops to watch him deadlift because he lifts heavy ass weights
>>36019627
Mirin muscle imbalances senpai
>>36019644
his shoulder joint is over the bar, but he has big delts
also exacerbated by the pic being at an angle
>>36019757
Where? Tricep?
Yea it looks bigger than the other but they are practically the same strength on dips, skullcrushers and bench
>>36019644
bet you he leans back into the lift, putting his shoulders above bar
>>36019660
Congrats, Anon. Here's a (You).
When you hit 3pl8 it will feel amazing. And you're within a month of doing that.
You're gonna make it.
>>36019660
Congrats man! It's a great feel pulling 3pl8. You're almost there. Also pretty amazing given that you have the dimensions of a tree
>>36019824
how much is a pl8?
I do deadlifts to hit my lower back, and, to a lesser extent, my hamstrings
It also hits quads (depending on how much you bend your knees during), traps, core (in a roundabout sort of way), and even lats.
>>36019738
is this what making it is like?
>>36020331
it depends on many factors, but approximately 48.666...kg plus the bar
>>36018757
You only need an alternating grip if you are doing powerlifting. Otherwise, keep a hand-facing-inward grip to avoid bicep tears.
>>36020331
1 pl8 = 45 pounds
lifting "1pl8" means one 45-pound plate on each side, plus the bar (which should weigh 45 pounds)
1pl8 = 135 lbs
2pl8 = 225
3pl8 = 315
>>36020398
>>36020394
>>36020385
ok, now I got it, it's one of those big 20kg plates.
Do you guys know how much the bar from the squat rack weighs? the trainer told me it's between 15 and 18kg, 20 to be safe
>>36020428
> one of those big 20kg plates.
How big? Does it have holes in it? (this is important)
>>36020452
Idk how big, it has the hole in the middle and it's got 20kg written on it
>>36020428
1pl8 = the bar + 90punds = 61,235 kg
>>36020483
so...20 kg
>>36020464
then it probably is 20kg, some plates have little holes around them so they weight less than what's written on them, you'd still be safer weighting them if you have access to a scale
This is the back of someone who deadlifts 375x1.
None of that powerlifting bullshit either
>>36020506
20,4117, that's one microplate more, per pl8
>>36020514
>375x1
>none of that powerlifting bullshit
m8 with stats like that you're nowhere close to being able to say you powerlift, so don't worry about people mistaking you for one.
>>36020560
I found the name, it's the Smith machine, and the bar is 45lbs, like you said. cool
>>36020514
I literally deadlifted more than that at 16
>>36019706
>I spend hours per week to get bigger arms so that girls will notice me :^)
Back to high school m8
>>36020514
>This is the back of someone who deadlifts 375x1.
You should try for double that, might get you some back development.
>>36020615
The smith machine bar definitely doesn't weigh 45lbs, and how the fuck do you even deadlift in a smith machine.
>>36017195
Same. I'm short but have Scheuermann's disease (a form of painful kyphosis) and I'd dealt with constant back pain my entire life until I started deadlifting.
It pretty much fixed me. Deadlifts for fucking life.
>>36020800
your barpath should be straight enough to notice no difference when deadlifting in the smith machine
>>36020791
>>36020605

embarrassing tyrone
>>36020995
>>36020800
I was talking about the smith machine calling it squat rack because I'm a dummy.
idk man, I looked it up online, how much is it in your opinion then?
>>36018757
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZgxkE-2QAw
>>36021554
why
>>36020896
smith machines don't have a bar path perpendicular to gravity.
>>36022221
wut
>>36022329
He's right. Unless you're standing directly over the equator gravity is going to be more slanted than a perfect 90 degrees.
>>36022221
>perpendicular to gravity.
That's not what perpendicular means.
>>36022368
can't say nothing to that, thought he meant it in another way
>>36020514
>trap bar stating
christ, i bet you use mix grip as well and think it is an impressive list.
>>36021554
jesus 3:10 at least make it half-way.
>>36022490
kek imagine mix grip on a trap bar deadlift.

>>36015547
>seriously wtf do deadlifts work
They work every muscle you need in order to lift heavy things up off the ground. Do them because you want to lift heavy things off the ground and not be a baby bitch.
