will doing deadlifts make a chick more or less likely to look at me during a party and be like "yeah, i want his dick in my ass"?

Should I deadlift and do low bar squats even though they are a similar movement?

No homo but I would creampie your tight ass

Probably more likely to get some guy to say:

>>36586388
Deadlifting is a movement about strength, it has nearly 0 affect on aesthetics aside from making half your jeans not fit.

I can't stop fucking doing them though because it's the closest thing to jerking off that I can do in the gym.

>>36586433
I'd creampie my ass too if I could anon, no homo though.

They won't worsen your aesthetics but the positive/noticeable effects it will have in your physique is extremely negligible

what ass excercise should you do instead if you want a big booty (I'm a guy btw)

crunched over + he's getting older and probably not cruising to maintain his test levels. Terry has always had it bad on chest aesthetics when he's not in top form

I have found stiff legged deadlifts with DBs so you can get a full ROM as well as smith machine lunges to give a good gloot pump.

Try using it unilaterally, so do 10 reps with 1 leg then 10 with the other, keeping the leg/gloom under constant tension

GOAT for back aesthetics but will make you look like a fridge. If you care about having a taper don't do them or at least not heavy
>>
>>36586524
Squats, romanian deadlifts, lunges, and hip thrusts. Get good at those, and you'll have a nice ass, along with hammies and quads.
>>
>>36586785
even one legged bodyweight hip thrusts will activate the glutes pretty hard, trust me.

Bulgarian Split Squats.

>>36586422

maybe, maybe not, but the fact that you're asking the "fitness" board on a sri lankan diaper fetish website means they weren't gonna fuck you anyway

might as well have some fun lifting heavy things and putting them back down again bro
>>
I once had a girl touch my lower back and she was dumbfounded when she felt two large bulges instead of a flat lower back.

>"anon, I f-felt your back muscles"

And no I am not pulling a 4chan on you guys. This really happened and and afterwards she mentioned it to a couple other female coworkers.
>>
>>36586388
Good for strength but shit for bodybuilding

I do them anyways because I enjoy them but if you just want a defined back then heavy rows , pull downs etc are better suited.
>>
Don't you want juicy glutes?
>>
My lower back absolutely kills when I try to do one, what the hell am I doing wrong?

I've had fellow gym friends tell me my back isn't developed enough or some broscience.

same here senpai. i can lift much heavier but instead i choose to do 1 pl8 and just make sure my form is perfect

They will build your back, legs, and glutes. And forearms to some extent.

And they will make you really really strong.

>>36586426

They are completely different exercises.
Yes, do both.
>>
>>36586426
why not both

do dl on back day and squats on some other day
>>
>>36589935

trappy, what are your opinions on snatch grip DLs? are they worthwhile, and am i doing them right - i assume they're a "wide grip" DL with double overhand.

thx for any help you can give me. you advice is always worthwhile :-)
>>
>>36589965
>snatch grip
I gripped your mums snatch
>>
>>36589965

If you can do them with good form, they're really good for building the back overall.

Most people can't do them with good form. Snatch-grip RDLs or rack pulls tend to be better. In any case you'll want straps.

The only reason to not do deadlifts for aesthetics is if you are a professional bodybuilder and on enough Tren to kill a racehorse. In that case bodybuilders will often program less deadlifts because it can cause some of them to lose their V taper.

You don't have this problem so you can deadlift.
>>
>>36589935
>They are completely different exercises.
>Yes, do both.
But if I do one then the other is always shit if I do it after
>>
>>36590062

Then don't do them on the same day.
>>
>deads thicken your waist

Every golden era bodybuilder did them heavy except (he says) Serge Nubret

Stop being pussies
>>
>>36589504
>>36589538
I used to have this problem and I managed to solve it by taking a break from DL and doing weighted back extensions for high reps. So yes, in a sense your LOWER back isn't developed enough.
>>
>>36590074
But SL says to do it
>>
Every time I try to do deadlifts my lower back hurts the next day. Anyone have good tips for form? Or should I just drop the weight super low until I get it down? I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos but can't seem to make improvements.

They're great as accessory.

While the range of motion for the hip extensors is increased, the lift is limited by your back strength (and grip if you're not hooking or using straps). Thus, they're great for your (entire) back, but not as good as the regular deadlift for developing strength on the primary movers.

When programming, I usually have Snatch DLs added as volume floor pull when the trainee doesn't have much back work outside of deadlifts, or when the trainee's spinal erectors are lagging behind his legs and hips.

There are many other deadlift variations you can use, some of which may be more beneficial to you than the Snatch DL. It's all about context, and customising the program so that it fits the (intermediate+) lifters, not the other way around.

You're not gonna handle heavy deadlifts after 5 sets of squats. Stick to 3x5.

Rest longer between the sets.

If energy still is a big issue, and you're eating well enough, you can switch to GSPL. Pic related is the one I recommend.

It's easier to get big once you get strong.
And deadlifts will get you strong as fuck FAST

Good when used in a balanced routine

Stopped doing deadlifts forever when I visited snap city a few months ago. I've been fine without them
>>
>>36586388
How the fuck would they be bad for aesthetics? If you wanted no obliques for that siqqq V taper because you have narrow manlet shoulders then maybe but I don't see how working most of the muscles in your body in one lift will make you look worse
>>
>>36589504
You are not keeping it straight at the bottom.
>>
>>36591129
Keep telling yourself that Anon.
>>
>>36589504
Combination of not developing your lower back enough, and messy form most likely. Keep your back straight, shoulders back, eyes forward.

I found tossing Good Mornings into my leg routine removed any sort of lower back pain I was experiencing from DLs.
>>
Meh, last 3 months Ive switched over to calisthenics

Been considering to go to the gym once a week for deads and squats, I have everything I need to work upper body

Should I? Or does doing bodyweight work the core enough already
>>
>>36591255
No, do squats and deads you faggot.
>>
>>36586388

Bad. They give you a weightlifters gut and don't work out any meaningful aesthetic muscles.
>>
>>36589935
trappy do i need to do lunges if i do squats? Are lunges a meme?

I'm not a homosexual man but I want an ass like one.

No.

Kinda.

>I want an ass

Hip thrusts are the most effective exercise to build the glutes.

>>
>>36589504
I had this problem and then I learned that the prime movers in the deadlift are the glutes and hamstrings, and once I started making sure I was loading them at the start of the exercise and activating them to drive my hip forward with the lower back as more of an accessory or stabiliser the lower back pain vanished and hasn't returned.

I know that feel, except it was bittersweet. I was getting a penicillin shot because of my ex and the nurse told me to relax my butt. I told her I was, but she didn't believe me and she started touching it and moving it. She seemed dumbfounded, but it was a mire I guess

You're probably not engaging your hamstrings and your form is bad. Straight back and engage the hamstrings man
