Deadlift

[jockhead]

Well after years of neglecting the deadlift I've finally gave it a chance and have been training for the last 3 months with deadlifts on back day.
I cant believe the changes that have taken place, more thickness, all other lifts getting stronger every week.

Is weird, I don't look forward to deadlifting but man it pays off.

I've been told not to deadlift every week, any views on this?
Maybe swap them out every other week with rack dead's?

My favorite ass kicking exercise...it and squats cant be beaten.

My deadlift quickly shot up toward 600 by deadlifting 1-2x a week. Most people can only do 1x a week because they plummet tons of volume and separate legs (squats) and deadlift day.

It all depends on your programming. Nobody can give you a definitive answer.

If you program things accordingly,you can deadlift every 5 days or so and see PRS on a consistent basis. If your main goal is strength, there are SEVERAL ways to achieve deadlift strength development. Some people deadlift once every 1 to 3 months or more and become significantly stronger because they're increasing their Squat/Barbell Rows .

Let us know your programming then we can tell you more information.

Same benefits minus increase squats

I'll try not to go into too much unneeded detail.

Sunday: Rest
Monday: Light bench(speed)/ Arms
Tuesday: Squats, Quads, Hamstrings
Wednesday: Delts/ Calves
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Chest/ Calves (optional)
Saturday: Back (including deadlifts and rows)

Squat, Bench and Deadlift consist of 12 week programs which based off 1rm go from 70% for 12+ reps to 103% for 3 reps. Being recalculated every 12 weeks.

All accessory lifts are done with quick tempo and heavy as possible while keeping reps around 8-10.

Goal would be a power building concept, a mix of power and body.
Trying to look the part and lift it.

On this routine,1x a week should be fine.
if you combine deadlift with lower body day (since it's a lower body exercise), you can hit more frequently but you'll still get good results this way obviously

Thank you Trin.
