Do you deadlift on back day or leg day?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Curious to know. I've recently discovered that its much better do DL on back day since its an exercise that puts weight on your spinal discs and when you do other exercised back after it helps de-compress the spine; like pull ups, etc. I used to do them on leg day this way I would do all the heavy lifting in one day but I was experimenting some back pinching, so I stopped DL for a couple months and now I'm back at it again for back days. Feels good. 

 

What about you? When do you deadlift?

There are actually two versions of DL, one that works more your back and another one that works more your femoral.

I stopped using heavy weights, the right way is EMS, it grew my muscle in 25 minutes with 4 sessions only and without risking my back bone.

This.

 

Doing heavy deads and heavy squats on the same day is insane to me but some people do it

cool yeah! I wasn't actually thinking about Romanian Deadlifts when making the thread, but yes, I've seen people use regular DL on leg day as well, it also kicks your hamstrings

I can't imagine doing barbell squats and deadlifts in the same session :rip:

I don't do deadlifts at all anymore. A friend snapped his back doing them at university. Idk, don't think its worth the risk. 

 

When we did it, it was on leg day tho

I did this once and I felt the results. But I still believe in natural working out. I think any form of cheating has its negative sìde to it.

Not an ounce of side effects. 
 

ben doing since 2019 on and off, and a lot of gyms are starting to adapt to it. 
 

Try it for 2 months and judge it.

These. 

 

After I became a Yoga teacher I realised the potential risks of doing dead lifts.  It's really not worth it. 

 

Your backbone, especially your lower back, is fragile so ...
