I have a simple rule with leg lifts - never lift over your own weight, and in high leverage lifts like RDL, never lift over half of your own weight.

I don't care. Just do more reps if it is too easy. You literally don't need that much strength in your legs. Legs are for walking and fucking, and both are cardio.

squats are much harder to do with consistently good form without lots of coaching, and it's bad form that fucks up your back. you also squat much heavier, so there's more weight to fuck up your back. squat popularity is from the bigger numbers even though it's a worse exercise.

I feel like deadlifts enable maximum strength expression in other lifts. I had no data or sources to back it up... But I feel the deadlift when done heavy teaches your CNS to be able to let your muscles provide the most amount of force possible.

Actually, legs are also for jumping, backflips, lifting another human from ground.
But I agree with you that there are no reasons to squat/deadlift more than body weight on barbell.

So his program is just
deadlifts 2x5
press 2x5

I am interested, despite all the comrade stuff, although it is kinda cool. I guess is just a real basic program to get strong? Seems like its missing some key movements and stuff

if you do deadlifts and back extensions (like in starting strength if you read the book he says alternate between deadlifts and powercleans on day A and do back extensions+pullups on day B) you're good to go
back extensions are your safety policy, they protect you and allow you to go heavy AF on deadlift
there's a reason all olympic weightlifters do heavy af back extensions
so the routine is like
A - Deadlift
B - Back Extensions
A - Power Clean
B - Back Extensions
A - Deadlift

good frequency
>>
>>76644710
nta yah, basically. That workout 5 days a week. Should only take about 15 minutes, and you move on with your life. And short workout like that just seem to give you energy. You get strong, feel strong, and have tons of energy for everything else. Not to sound like a square, but it is a really good strength program for your everyday person.

>>76643140
If you do them mimicking the first pull in the clean (like they were originally for) then they work you lower back way more. The people who fuck their back doing so base their training numbers off of the conventional deadlift so they do it with way more weight than they should for the lower-back-focused RDL.
>>
>>76643126
I think I stressed something internal in my gut area doing these. I think everything will be alright, but that shit hurt for a while hours later. Felt like a stomach ache. I had decent form, made sure to drop the bar, lift with my ass. Maybe just because I haven't deadlifted in ages.

I think i failed a deadlift once in my life and i was on several days of shit sleep and if its leg day its typically later in the lifting week anyways. You can get the cns training of 1rms pre fatigued with way less risk, and use an oly stand for light deep work as imbalances are what build up to a worse injury especially once the weight is higher.

Anyone do this? or read this? is it grifter kino?
>>
>>76643126
if you fuck your back up any type of RDL/goodmorning/hyperextension you have an actual glass back and should probably do some deadlifts instead
>>
>>76644549
my reasoning is what I said there, from Pavel's book.
but after digging a little more, it seems like squats are more injurious but the injuries are relatively mild, whereas you get instant acute injuries from deadlifts, due to how the lifts start: with a deadlift there's sudden maximum force and if you got something wrong you don't have any time to cope with it before it hurts you.
>the tolerance window is narrow. A back squat can be ugly and still safe. A deadlift pulled 2-3 inches forward, or with a small lumbar rounding, multiplies spinal load by hundreds of pounds instantly.
so, yeah, I'm going to stop defending this lift. Not a fan of getting sniped in the spine without any warning.
>>
>>76648843
nta but that makes sense. Am I wrong that everyone used to love squats, but now they love deadlifts or am I retarded?
>>
My gait and posture feel great after doing deadlifts (and squats). I feel like I'm just standing and moving better all the time and that has got to be good for my long term health of my body. I haven't found an exercise that feels better frankly. I'm pretty new and I am not pushing really high weight so I'm less worried about serious injury.
>>
>>76649327
I agree. I find deadlifts to be the most beneficial exercise in terms of body movements. Its like, when a person has a 2xbw deadlift, everything becomes easier. The key, in training, is to use moderate effort. Live in the 70-80% range. No maxing out, and no training to failure.

This fucking board
>>
>>76643164
There are numerous other lifts you can do that increases your DL without actually doing DLs. DLs are more for testing your overall power rather than a good strenght building workout. It’s overly fatiguing and makes you lose other gains
Just do squats + RDLs + dead hangs + weighted back extensions + vertical pulls and you’re progressing your DL without doing them.

Same.
>>
>>76650571
You are lucky. But other people doing deadlifts, they destroyed their back and spine.
>>
>>76650571
The main cause of back injuries is holding a weight too far from center of mass or at odd angles. This is exacerbated by having a weak back, core, and legs.

lifting a 20lb case of water bottles out of a pickup truck without lowering the tailgate? Putting a baby in a crib? Moving bulky 50lb outdoor furniture? High shearing force.
It’s the delaminating effects of lifting relatively tiny weights improperly that add up over time.
For lifters, often the thing that really snaps them up is not only unloading a deadlift but then also having to put 45 lb plates onto the lowest rung of a weight rack. All when their back is maximally exhausted. They do this for weeks and then mistake the pain they get from a barbell lift as the cause of their back pain when it’s often the repeated shearing forces from improper lifting of tiny loads.

>>76650724
There is truth in this. A lesson I learned from the guy who ran our high school gym is this: after your last set, rest as long as you would between sets before unloading the bar.

Your back has more muscles than the erectors supporting it. There's tons of little muscles surrounding and running in between each vertebra and running from the spine to the hips, etc. In most people, even physically active people, these are atrophied from disuse. You can condition and strengthen them.

If you're doing RDLs you shouldn't be doing that much weight really, just trying to get a good stretch going. If you're trolling deadlifts in general then wrong picture.
>>
>>76644753
It's really not the lift itself. It's because it's the lift you can typically load the most. That equals a higher propensity to ego lift as well. I think also because there is low relative fear of failure because hey you can just drop it. Fear of failing something like a bench or a squat are higher because just dropping something is easier to get over than having a weight coming back in your direction.

Also you're statistically more likely to get injured on bench. There are other arguments to not do them that are more compelling
