Please take me from point A ("deadlift') to point B ("tearing apart everybody in a street fight"). Are there magic Miyagi moves to be found in the ritualistic lift-up! put-down! movement?

I am pretty sure that being good at the DL translates into exactly one thing: being good at the DL.

Sometimes I do them, sometimes I don't. They hold no magic pull on me (see what I did there?)

He only fights dead drunk bums lying on the pavement. He then proceeds to lift them and toss them around.

I believe that's the "clean and press" training, not the DL.

The DL allows him to lift them to his knees and then drop them. Devastating.

I stand corrected.

I loved the deadlift.

I had triple hernia surgery 6 months ago so I guess I'll never deadlift again.

I am fine with it.

Did you love it because it gave you great results or was it just gratifying to see how much weight you could lift. It is an ego booster for me. Once you get to four plates and beyond, people start to take notice of how much you are pulling. Still doubtful about its benefits.

Hope you continue to heal, bro.

The deadlift is about as good as it gets, not to mention variations like stiff legs and snatch grips. If you cant transition the strengthening of your entire posterior chain, not to mention your core and grip strength into other aspects or exercises that says more about your inefficiency as lifter more so than anything.

Does it? Why would I need lifting "efficiency" to notice a positive effect? If anyone does bicep curls every day, they are gonna get bigger, stronger arms. There's no way they will not notice strength and musculature gains. Why are deadlift gains a secret?

I had double hernia surgery and do not deadlift any more. Oh well.

Yeah, it's GetBig and all good and fun but is that all you got FFS?

Sometime i'm perplex with yankee. Maybe it's because of chem in the food, or too much tv, or the difficulty to find cultural stuff in usa.

I think everyone should know how to properly pick something heavy off the ground
Kids should know how to deadlift



If we're gonna get paleo about it, that heavy something would probably be a rock. A deep squat would be the more appropriate movement for this task.

I like deadlifts but at 40 I do much lighter weight for higher reps.  It's a good full body exercise.

SLDL is one of the very best exercises imho.

Not a fan of the regular DL.

Vince, why will you not answer my PM's? You know, the PM I sent you where I described wanting to gently caress and kiss your hairy belly. Get back to me with an answer.
