Deadlifts. I fucking hate them. I love squatting heavy, I love

Imagine you're lifting the car your waifu is trapped under

>>What can I do to begin enjoying my deadlift sessions?
Just don't do them, they aren't needed for anything

>>41239982
Wait are you not supposed to do multiple sets of deadlifting...?
>>41239991
I like being strong though

>>41239982
Yeah, sets. I do 8 sets in a workout, typically, but only 1 set at 90% and the rest lower.

>>41239982
>Novices assuming other people are novices
I dont know why this annoys me so much, but it does

>>41239927
Lift less weight. Reduce the weight until you can play with it a bit and have fun. If your weights are causing you stress, it's too much wait. It should be releasing endorphins.

>novice doing a low volume routine accusing other people of being novices
what

>>41240200
he was confused why someone would be doing multiple sets of DLs which means he has no experience with programs beyond novice programs that usually only have 1x5

if he thinks op shouldnt do more than 1 set, hes assuming op is a novice just like him

>>41239927
I have this but with squats

I fucking hate them and my legs look good anyway

>>41240284
I am not the novice you were talking too, but I've reached 2pl8 diddly on reg parks beginner routine

should I add more sets?

>>41240320
no, at that weight you should be able to progress on the program as its written. if your not its because of something else youre doing wrong. probably one of the following
>shit form
>not eating enough
>not sleeping enough
>not doing recovery shit
>not trying hard enough
if you get to a point where you cant progress and none of those are limiting factors they you should move on to a different program. dont try and edit the program as you dont know how

>>41240445
>if you get to a point where you cant progress and none of those are limiting factors they you should move on to a different program.
groovy, thanks.

>>41240473
if youre taking that to mean should move on to a different program now and that none of those are limiting factors for you, then you need to be honest with yourself about whether they are or not. unless you are a 50kg woman with the worst genetics in the world, a 2pl8 DL is well below what you should stop at

>>41240522
>if youre taking that to mean should move on
I haven't stopped progressing, I just don't know what rookie numbers are or where they end.

>>41239927
I can relate to that. I know of its importance and I always feel them the next day, but I hate doing them. I love squats and OHP, front squats. Even rowing I enjoy more

>>41240048

to be fair, looks like he was right >>41239996

>>41240723
Not either of those guys, but I usually do 2-3 sets of DLs on Deadlift day, because if I didn't then I'd feel like I'm wasting my time.

>>41240042
nSuns?

>>41240534
depending on your height, and goals it should be anywhere from
>OHP:1-1.5 pl8
>bench: 1.75-2 pl8
>squat: 3-4 pl8
>DL: 3.5-5 pl8

>>41239927
I hate conventional, switched to sumo and now I love it. Also I switch between regular deadlifts and rack pulls every other back day.

>I hate doing the full lift so I limit the ROM to make it more enjoyable

Yep!

your story is all over the place lad. are you squatting or deadlifting? what does it have to do with the thread?

I stopped making gainz on my deadlift and switched to less volume which helped a lot. I do a 3x3 deadlift with the last set being heavier than the first two. Now I compete in some beginner strongman competitions.

>>41240958
Sigh... I can pull over 200 kg conventional but I just don't like that stance. Conventional is by no means better than sumo you dyel.

>>41239927

This guy's form is atrocious.

>>41239982
You dont do sets? Why not?

>warm up diddy 185x10
>225 x10
>275 x 10
>315 x 5 for 2
>365 x 3 for 2
>385 x 1 for 1 when maxing
>drop to 315 x amrap

Been doing this routine and have significantly increased my diddy. Earlier this year i was struggling with 275. Anything below 315 are just warm up sets for me as i slowly add more weight. Working on 385 so i can get to 405 by end of month

>>41241345
tbf with that low deadlift you can do whatever and make gains.

Does anyone else have a long back and find it impossible to keep it straight during deadlifts even with low weight? No matter what it fucks up my lower back
