Do you deadlift?

[osiris]

I do rack dreads most times but every 4th workout I like from the floor

Dead lifts are normally my strongest lift nut have gone to shit recently. I'm giving consideration to following this approach my self. How high do you pull from?

for some reason I hurt my self on squats but not on deads.

Me too.

Do you have long femurs?

I dunno, I have kinda short limbs maybe I am 5'7 but have like the Irish midgety look. Lol
I am squatting low bar, starting over after tweaking my back. Unless I am in extreme extension at all possible moments on the squat I tweak my back.
When I dead lift I am very horizontal and fine. Maybe I will post some videos in another thread.
I was doing hack squats on the machine today with adoring lumbar extension and it felt good. If my back goes slightly neutral, I will hurt it.
I was taught to go knees out to help fr a hurting your back.

On another note my gym has those octagon plates which really sucks for Deadlifting. So I end up doing singles back to back.

Honestly no great back comes without deadlifts just impossible.

Why do chains make them better? I never see the chains having much contact with the floor.

For me I actually put the chains on the outer edge of the bar, beyond the weight... I don't wrap it around the middle. So when I pull from the ground it's helped develop that explosion to push my hips through. So I pretty much get full weight coming off the ground. 50 lbs on each side. It's not the best for quick reps but I like the quality.

Bands are good too for helping pull through the heels and pull up against the shins/legs.

Hope that explains it alright.

deadlift is a king

I like doing deadlift even i cant do with heavy weight. i do not prefer using belt since your abdomen have transverse muscle which is a natural belt for you, it get more stronger when their is no belt. stiff leg dead lift is good for hamstring..

Its hard to be legit and not do them.
Nmw what your style of lifting they can help big time.

No point in living if you cannot do the deadlift?
