Wondering if anyone does deads in a higher rep range? If so do you guys prefer it over the 6-8 mark and not to failure?
I want to reimplement them into my training, but last session I did with them I overtrained and fucked up my gi and it flared up(hence why I know I overtrained). That was with 495x5/failure.
Would higher sets of let's say 10-12, 2-3 sets be worthwhile? This is for upper back thickness. Thanks guys.
 
I personally never did high reps on exercises that required a lot of concentration because when you start to fatigue your form starts to go down, and the likelihood of injury goes up. I think 405 to 455 maybe a good weight for you, or whatever allows you to get no more than 8 reps,
Hopefully more guys will comment
 
Deads take out so much systematic energy, you need to take it easy. If your wanting to do it for overall back thickness, hit a 6-8 rep top set with one in the tank, then a couple backoff sets with a 10-15% load drop. The backoff sets should be submaximal, RPE 7-8. That should get you a couple sets in the 8-10 range.

Do touch and go for hypertrophy.

If your wanting to increase your deadlift….I’d do 2 sets of triples heavy letting the bar die, then one backoff in the 5-8 range.
 
I have done in the 10 or so range and think they can be productive. But i wouldn't call 10 -12 high reps. People often do squats with more then 8 reps and people usually don't say that is wrong. And there is a lot of over lap from squats to DL's as far as muscles worked and i would say squats have at least if not more potential for bad form to slip in and have negative impact.

I hear ya. I always thought overtraining was bs, until I did it from a heavy set of deads and create colitis flare due to physical stress.
I always do touch and go, and controlled throughout, if not I'm paranoid I have more room for error since I'm resetting.
I also deadlift at the end of my workout to somewhat lower the strength availability. Good or bad idea?
 
Ack thickness. My upper back/ trap thickness is dogshit.
Try high pulls Kirk karwoski stlye. Take a snatch grip, start in a rack at just below knee height. Start the movement as a rack dead bud as you get about 3/4 of the way to the top explode up with your traps and pulling your elbows up like a partial rep high pull. This is the top portion of the lift and it packs on beef

Holy shit, this sounds fun as fuck. Giving them a shot tonight. Thanks!

Bro when I hit my all time deadlift PR it felt so stupidly heavy everything hurt. I could feel it pulling the skin on my neck and traps like it would tear, my arm bones felt
Like they were stretching, and I literally hit the upper limits of my cns and began shaking uncontrollably until I locked it out. It was like I could literally feel my nervous system

Bro they really do smash you. And all credit where it’s due I learned this exercise from dante trudel on intensemuscle years ago

I didnt have that issue, I also didn't hit a single. It was my rep pr at my weight. (178lb). I didn't even feel that beat after either, but my gi gave me the response. And also, sleep got even worse, and my resting hr spiked for a few weeks. I wasn't too happy. I really wanted to work up to 585 for 5-6. Now that kind of out of the plans.
I didnt feel like my arms were gonna pop off thoigh. That sounds serious.

Dante and his plethora of free information. Glad people like him exist in the community. That's for sure

It was a 718 pull at 259 pounds. It hurt man but I locked it out. My other lifts aren’t comparable due to my structure, but I’m built to deadlift. If it weren’t for a herniated disk when I was 19 I think I could have broken the 800 lb barrier. It was a crazy feeling. You’re a strong as hell dude by the way.

I do them periodically in certain blocks. I'll do 6-8x10 and start a new set every 90 seconds. Weight will be something close to a 20 rep max though. Still can't keep that up for more than 6 weeks before needing to transition.

Another thing you could try are snatch grip deadlifts or reeves deadlifts if you have a hex bar. I barely even need 3x10 of relatively modest weight on those to fry my upper back and traps.

Edit: Just noticed Kirk rows suggested. Those are outstanding (and humbling) as well.
 
I do Smith rack deadlifts and typically do 10-12 reps. If I go under 10 it's almost always because I'm moving up to a new weight or intentionally testing my strength at low reps. I've found 8-12 reps on rowing and pulling movements to be ideal for adding size to my back.

I recommend you try rack deadlifts. By taking the lower body out of it you can focus more on pulling with the back and get the gains you're looking for.

That's a nutty pull 700us is nutty to me. I really wanted to do 585 for 8 sub 200lbs.
