If you can't put the weight down, don't pick it up!

that's a good question, why are you even doing deadlifts in the first place?

What?

Lats for keeping your back straight. Also grip.

>Lats for keeping your back straight

But is that really a good choice? Wouldn't it make more sense to actually focus on my lats by specifically targetting them on pulldowns or rows instead of retardedly increasing my chance of injury?

if you want safety and targeting specific muscles, then just use machines.

No I'm saying why not focus on the actual purpose of the lifts?

Deadlifts for lower back/glutes/hamstrings and then upper back by actually focusing on it instead of autistically "kind of" hitting it by doing the eccentric portion.

Feels like only old fags say "le it's too heavy just place it carefully". Why don't any powerlifters or olympic lifters ever gently place it down, even on warmups?

>Why don't any powerlifters or olympic lifters ever gently place it down, even on warmups?
Because they're training for a competition, making the lift is the objective in and of itself. If you're not lifting competitively one would assume you're lifting for strength or muscular development, in which case the lift is the means, not the end.

this is a picture of me during my runescape true trim hunt stream recently. how do I fix my arms?

be gentle

what the fuck

I lift at an oly gym and weights get slammed on all lifts.

There's a guy who removes the pl8s from the bar after deadlifts by tilting the bar and letting them slide off on the last rep.
The noise scares away the DYELs.

Because if you're doing diddlys and not expecting a fullbody workout, then odds are, you're either a faggot or not trying to increase your deadlift.

Don't worry about the deadlift negative. Control the weight on the way down but don't lower it slowly.

>O SHIT WADDUP

Bullshit. There's only risk of injury - like with everything lifting related - if you're an idiot.

Dropping weights began when bumper plates crept into the weightroom. John Davis, one of many old school weightlifters, clean and jerked 177kg in competition and then carefully lowered the bar safely.

See people not dropping more weight from shoulder height than you can deadlift:youtube.com/watch?v=QNSWOclSI6Q

Just don't fucking throw the weight.
If the plates make noise when you put em down but you are trying to control it down, thats fine.

This guy at my gym drops his deadlift from a standing position, doesn't even try to bring it down.
He's such a douche too fuck I hate him.

1st for Syrian genocide.

As an oly lifter i have to say that its terrible for your shoulders to control the weights down all the time, and you just waste energy. You have to be pretty insecure if you can't tolerate weights being dropped.
