What did your first deadlift feel like?
felt like light weight, baby
>>41057185
Pretty unimpressive, I was new to lifting so i just did 135 while trying to get the form right. Didn't feel special. I capped out around 200 when i quit being able to hold onto the bar. My deadlift was lagging like 45lbs behind my squat.
Should i have started using straps or something? I was barely 2pl8, people deadlift much more with no straps
>>41057203
Should have trained grip as well as switched to mixed or hook
I was scared of blowing out my back as a skelly so I did 50kg, recorded myself doing it to check form, felt like a king afterward though.
>>41057185
like nothing. did it with empty bar
Did 3 pl8 for 5. Felt like a beast but I didn't engage my hams as much as I should have thinking back so it was a nice learning experience.
I just did 40kg for reps because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing, so I just wanted to get my form right. Felt pretty good though
Pulled 100kg with perfect form the next workout and felt like a beast.
Now I'm struggling to get past 3pl8 and I feel like a weak little baby faggot
Started with bar, then 95, 115, lmao1pl8. Grip failed shortly after. Form was kinda iffy.
>tfw you can't believe your grip was so shit back then
>>41057185
Really easy.
First ever pull was @ 1pl8 and finished the set at 10 reps, I think.
Keep in mind that I was probably 225 lbs at the time.
I was very autistically watching a shitton of youtube videos so I knew how the form should look. I was bracing like crazy got my whole body tight and was surprised at how light 135 felt.

>with perfect form
kek k senpai
>>41057185
Right.
>>41057429
Probably a fatty. In the timeframe of a month or so, I got my deadlift to 200lbs without any stalling, then I injured my hip flexor while squatting and didn't do any lower body movements.
>>41057429
Do you think that's hard?
>>41057439
Rackpull above the knee?
>>41057387
Same here, i was ready to lift the Earth up.
Also the form was 95% right.
To this day I can't teach people how to deadlift properly since everyone seems to be so inflexible that their shins and knees get in the way of the deadlift, but i never had that problem myself
>>41057460
why the fuck would he be wearing long socks if he didnt need to protect his shins think before you post next time
>>41057455
nope but i think your definition of perfect form might be flawed
you dont achive dl perfect form within a week
>>41057185
like i was lifting dead weight
I came and cried simultaneously
>>41057185
Conventional: like shit. Very awkward movement and lower back hurt the next day.
Sumo: felt good. Didn't even have to think much about form, just picked it up like nothing.
Weak ass femanon here. It felt like shit but I remembered the grandma I saw deadlifting more than I'll probably ever deadlift and it helped me get through it
>Tfw just the bar is too much
Everyone has to start somewhere I guess
>>41057429
I had alreadly been working out for a year prior to that and I had a pretty strong back.
It honestly wasn't difficult to keep good form, I know I could have ripped probably 120kg off the ground, but pulling a 100kg with a really strict form felt like a great achievement.
>>41057185
did 135x5 as a 170lb 6'3" skeleton my first time
but it felt great and very natural right away
compared to squat, which felt like shit the first time, and feels like shit 6 years later
at least my bench feels comfy finally
>>41057465
Look at the cart wheels, and how high off of the ground they are. Look before you post.
>>41057185
my head was blowed fuck out after testosterone dose i get after deadlift. Now its my favorite exercise. Feel so confident after doing that.
