Are speed deadlifts a meme? How do I program them?

If you do them properly, they can have some good benefits. Here's a decent link showing some of the benefits of using them in your workout routine: https://ericcressey.com/5-how-to-deadlift-technique-strength-training-programs

I think generally you won't want to have them as a regular part of your routine to replace deadlift - rather something that you do for a several-month stint to help improve your deadlift as a whole before you switch back to standard. You're definitely going to want to be extra-careful about your form, because even at a lighter weight, doing deadlifts with bad form at high speed is a great way to fuck yourself up

>do it "speed" way

what could go wrong

Normal deadlifts are a meme, so this is a super meme.

lmaoing @ people doing heavy deadlifts when they never pick heavy shit up irl or powerlift

I prefer to do my deadlift reps over a longer period of time. 2 minutes going up, 2 minutes going down.

I stronger than any person you've met

I'm pretty sure this is bait, but fuck it.

Even if you're just lifting for aesthetics, Deadlift is one of the best all-rounder and back exercises you can get. You're right in that it's not as useful for people who aren't lifting for functional strength or competition lifting, but it's still a great lift and has a place in any workout routine.

>tfw just got pulled over by gym staff for doing speed deadlifts
thanks faggot

>Great lift
>Until you inevitably snap your shit up

Way too much bodily stress and risk for any of the benefits. If you are not powerlifting they should never be done with any significant weight.

Well yeah, I mean if you're doing with bad enough form that you're risking seriously injuring yourself every time you do it, then it's bad. When I'm talking about the lift itself objectively, I'm doing it under the assumption that the person doing the lift has good form and isn't about to fuck their shit up. I don't argue that you don't need to push it too hard though. The back gains are great but there's probably a point where you don't really need to put yourself at a greater risk if you've achieved your goal aesthetically.

You can have pin point perfect form and still snap from not working your abs or glutes enough.

maybe if you were an autist (you probably are)

That's your problem, bro.

It's objectively the most common exercise where people injure themselves you stupid faggot. You need great form just to not snap yourself or badly strain a muscle from moderate weight.

It's undeniably a risky lift.
