That means your ass got most of the work. You might want to try a slightly wider stance and make sure you keep the bar close to you so that it rubs on your legs all the way up.

So I should do more of a sumo type deadlift?

Ok thanks.

My butt has never gotten sore after deadlifts...lower back, sometimes traps, sometimes foreams yes but butt no.

Sumo type deadlifts may work better for you. It may just be a matter of the mechanics of the movement. Because you're fairly tall and your range of motion is longer and the time under tension your glutes work is longer.

any chance you're doing stiff-leg deads?

alexxx · « **Reply #7 on:** April 18, 2007, 12:35:25 PM »

haha no I do normal deadlifts but my legs are over 26 inches lean so they tend to overpower my other parts.

Just thought i'd ask. I'm a little taller than you and have crazy long legs too.

Yeah I might just have to do that. We are bodybuilders anyways.

When you bend over to pick up the bar...lose the dildo

(kidding) Seriously, I have that same problem when I do stiff leg deadlifts, squats, and leg presses in high reps. I saw a product by GNC thats good for D.O.M.S. (delayed onset muscle soreness). I take that for 2-3 days afterwards, soak in some Epson salt and usually the soreness doesn't last more than a day.

Matt, are you saying that Alexxx is the reigning king of gay bbing?

jrod · « **Reply #19 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:43:51 PM »

It might be due to what a couple of people have already mentioned: you're height makes it so that you have to squat lower. Combine that with staying pretty upright during the motion and you probably recruit your glutes a lot. Or it could be that your glutes are the limiting factor in the lift; in other words, your back/lower back is stronger (proportionately for the lift) than your glutes so your glutes give out first.

Maybe, as its been mentioned, try rack deadlifts, or even try doing them without going all the way down.

Couldn't you have cropped out the closeup of your butt??

Hedgehog · « **Reply #21 on:** April 18, 2007, 03:30:36 PM »

I don't see the problem.

You work your hams. Great.

As a side note, you have good quads, but not so great hams. So keep doing full deadlifts, also add in stiff deadlifts to target the hams, balancing the legs.

Yea tell your training partner not to spot you so close and pull up his pants. Hope this helps
