what's the point of deadlifts?

to lift something of the ground

>>42484150
you look at that and tell me it's not the most intensive core exercise ever

>>42484186

this one looked more like oly lift with all that changing position he did

What the fuck was that guy thinking?

>his spine's face when

kinda off topic but i'm trying to get into oly lifts like power cleans and snatches should i be doing these lifts on the same days i'm deadlifting? I'm pretty good at deadlifting and i think i def have the strength to do those other lifts pretty well i'm just sure how to time them in my routine

>>42484150
that question alone tells me that you are a noob at lifting and should go fuck yourself.

>>42484150
what a retard

i mean, shit form of course and all but he almost had that back-snappening 300 kg deadlift achievement

>>42484222
you should do a real program. instead of asking clueless mongs on /fit/ how to fuck up your own programming

>>42484150
It's called the deadlift, because the weights start and you end in a "dead" position.

>>42484150
fun

Destroying the back of thousands of young men thanks to ego lifting

No other exercise works your glutes and hamstrings like the deadlift.

Moot point though because 95% of retards just lift with their back anyway.

>>42484150

to snap your spine

To jerk off with other cavemen about muh pull

>>42484150
there is no reason to be alive if you cannot do deadlifts

To develope strength would be the most obvious point. You will never be strong unless you work up serious numbers in some form of squat and deadlift.

It also builds mass, though not very well since it´s eccentric portion is generally hard to control and fast as fuck for most. Stiff-legged deads or deficit deads with focus on the eccentric portion would be a better choice for mass.

However, building your strength also allows you to use heavier weights and cause greater hyperthrophy. Since the deadlift developes strength in your entire posterior chain, core, forearms, traps and even delts, just increasing your deadlift will allow you to go heavier on a lot of excercises.

If you can't deadlift at least 3plaet then you have no business even going for hyperthrophy yet. No amount of 1plaet rows or unweighted pullups will ever make you big. If you´re happy being a 160 lbs twink with abs and a vein or two on your 14 inch arms then you might not need them tho.

Aiming for anything else then do your strengthwork.

>>42484150
its a powerlifting movement, that being said if you're not a powerlifter and you care about not having an arthritic lower back a few years down the line, dont do them its not worth it even with perfect form

>>42484584
I have never deadlifted more than 3pl8 in my life (see no reason to), can BB row 2.5pl8 for reps and have 17.5" arms

wanna fight, little faggot?

>>42484150

to feel manly because you are emasculated by your shitty life

for lanklets to feel like they're strong because they have ridiculously disproportionate spinal erectors while being DYEL in all other aspects

>>42484584
oh fuck off lmao

you don't need to ever do a conventional deadlift in your fucking life if your only goal is aesthethics, fucking geeks and their dogmatic attachment to muh functional strength muh big compounds

i probably outdeadlifted you in hs

>>42484636
You probably can deadlift that though.

>>42484150
To have a good wide stance

>>42484584
why do people throw around magic numbers? you know that 3pl8 for someone 150 lbs is different than for someone who is 200?

>>42484636
>2.5 plaet rows for reps
>3 plaet deadlift

If you´re gonna make shit up then at least put some effort in it?

>>42484689
I can yeah, but I currently see not much reason to do it. I mostly do rows and power cleans, and RDL/leg curls for hams, conventional deads are a bit too taxing for my current programming.

I think they should be reserved for powerlifters that do them with proper form/warmup

>>42484661
I already said to ignore it if you were happy being a twink so fuck off?

>>42484703
i didn't say it was my max, just that I never deadlifted with more than 3 pl8 because I personally see no reason to do so according to my current goals

>>42484150
what the fuck
how do you fall backwards doing deadlifts

>>42484740
use proper form and you will be fine

Hello brother!

I just do them because they're fun. Just got up to 3plt recently. They're really no good for strength and muscle building of the hams and glutes? I find that hard to believe.

>>42484222
>I'm pretty good at deadlifting and i think i def have the strength to do those other lifts pretty well
stop

you should not deadlift at all if you want to train snatch and cleans. read up.

Shit feels good man. Idk what's up with this whole deadliftng is a meme meme

that's normal for behind the back. your back isn't stressed because the weight is behind it

To fuck your shit up. How new are you here?

>>42485422
maan, watching this webms make me feel so tense. i'm just waiting one of these guys to snap in half. holy fuck.

>>42484314
I have a friend who constantly tells me he does deadlifts on back day, as it works your lower back. I politely tell him I do deadlifts on leg days because it works mostly your hamstrings and glutes. He doesn't get the hint. Oh well, I guess I'll bring him flowers when he goes to snap city.

>>42485447
Who told you that?

>>42485899

All these faggots in this thread keep implying that. Unless they're just ironic memeposting, which gets fucking old.

>>42485876
You have no idea what you are talking about. Just stop. It works the entire posterior chain. By lower back, he means spinal erectors, and he is correct.

>>42485798

> 365
> looking like that

That's it. I'm off SS.

>>42484186
show me a picture of your "core"
>nb4 a picture of your flexed back
no, the other side, tubby

>>42485726
Where the fuck do you think the force travels if not through his back? The only difference is that the force is at roughly 20 degree angle, which means over 90% of the weight is still pulling his shoulders vertically.

The lever arm, however, is greatly shortened and allows for more weight. Basically, this excercise allows you to fuck up your shit even more than a regular deadlift ever could.

>>42485937
Looking like what? Some twink dyel that doesn't lift? It's not only not heavy, but he also looks like shit.

Stick with the program, cut down the road. He has probably been lifting for 2 years with minimal gains while you can lift the same in 6 months by sticking to the fucking program.

The mixture of real science and broscience in this post is fucking mindboggling.

why deadlift?

to build your entire back from neck to heel, as well as your quads, hams, abs, and forearms.

It feels good
Real good

>>42485422
w-why is he doing this

It feels incredible. Just did 375x5 (170 bw) and I'm high as fuck at the gym reading /fit/.

Welcome to /fit/ guys. Read the sticky before you start asking dumb questions.

>>42485924
No, no. He means it's working exclusively his lower back. Deadlifts should be primarily be driven by your legs. If you think otherwise, you are doing the lift incorrectly.

>>42484728
plenty of guys who are much bigger than you don't deadlift

deadlifting works all the way up to your traps buddy

>>42487242
I get that, but I wouldn't call deadlifts a lower back exercise. It is, if you are bending over and have poor form. Deadlifts are something like 70% leg driven, and if you can't distinguish that, your form sucks.

>>42484740
you're a common gymcel, you have no goals
also 120kg rows big fucking deal

>>42487420
I'm just an late intermediate /early advanced lifter buddy. My current goals are the 2 plate press (tm) and a 3.5 pl8 bench (current is 3pl8)

>>42485798
>lifting in socks
>being my negro
pick both

>>42487399
You are 100 percent correct. The reason that retard thinks he's getting a back workout is because he has no idea how to use his hamstrings and keep his back flat.

>>42487482
also, it's safe to say my rows are equivalent to something along a 5pl8 pull, which i guess is atleast something
