Can we have a serious thread about deadlifts? I always see >deadlifts bait threads, but how about a real one for once? Is it necessary? Is it inherently better than other more isolated lifts? What would be comparable/are there any substitutes? Is the snap city express train a myth? What exactly does it work out (either strengthen or make more aesthetic)?
If you take your form seriously, snap city is a myth
Tyler Bennett
You'd have to be an oblivious idiot to go snap city -- it's true.
If you're going to sit around and do only one exercise -- do dead lifts.
Or, dead lift into OHP if you count that
Thomas Gonzalez
I can practically hear gandalf saying you shall not pass
Landon Brooks

Michael Bell
Oh, and it's about as close to a full body workout as you can get with one exercise -- even your biceps get some love, and you legs get the attention they deserve

Luis Green
Is it weird to see pictures of yourself slapped all over this hell hole?
Jeremiah Jones
You simply can't compete with test release from high dls. Also Muscles >Target Erector Spinae >Synergists Gluteus Maximus Adductor Magnus Quadriceps Hamstrings (top half) Soleus >Dynamic Stabilizers Hamstrings (bottom half) Gastrocnemius >Stabilizers Trapezius, Middle Trapezius, Upper Levator Scapulae Rhomboids >Antagonist Stabilizers Rectus Abdominis Obliques
Ryan Young
ye, but it's kinda my own fault.
Not accurate. See instead.
Lincoln Davis
So what do you think about DLs? Objectively, as obviously powerlifting basically requires it. Do you think it's necessary for all kinds of lifters, with any goal in mind, should deadlift? If not, is it recommended even so? Any substitutes?
Eli Ortiz
hi sweetie ;)
Carson Mitchell
trappy is this old news? Is there anything i should add? like, are my rear delts getting touched with this? d-do i add facepulls pls trappy i need you
Since you are a mentally ill man who ruses other men into dating him and thinking hes actually a she, how do you sleep at night knowing the only way to find affection is through deception?
Matthew Bennett
that pull-up thread is gr8, but unless I missed it it doesn't say which one you should do If I'm not mistaken, wide-grip pullups are hardest, close grip chin-ups are easiest (most bicep activation), but lat activation is about the same, right? To me, that means there's no reason to do pull-ups.. am I wrong? Do you have a preference? pls help my little piggy nosed qt
Hudson Clark
If there was only one lift it would be the diddly.
Joshua Cox
Is it ok to "drop" the bar during DL? I mean, I lift it off the floor slowly, but return it to the floor much faster, without actually letting go. Am I missing out on gains or does everyone do this?
Connor James
Don't bother asking it. It will kill itself soon
Isaac Ward
Gotta do deads, kid
Evan Gomez
trappy, what qualifies you to be such a self proclaimed expert on lifting?
Henry Lopez
this is 4 months off one of trappys shitty routines
Jason Cox
Control it but it doesn't matter too much. It's rude to straight drop it.
Jordan Jenkins
Apparently nuetral or "hammer" grip pullups put the biceps and lats in the strongest mechanical position to do the most weight. Depends on proportions but this os generally true for most
Kevin Hall
Perfect
Julian Cox
you look like trap
Carter Edwards
trappy, what do you think about the Fierce 5 novice routine
Angel Powell
>trolls derailing a good thread
Good job summer/fit/
Gabriel Gomez
Lowering the bar is the eccentric part of the lift and you're cheating yourself by skipping it. It's like doing hill sprints where you only run down and never up.
Blake Walker
>trappy thread >good
Gabriel Kelly
You should only drop the bar if you're lifting some serious weight where easing it down would be impossible/dangerous. If you're doing 315-405lbs, there's no reason you should be dropping it after your sets.
Samuel Wilson
this was never a thread about deadlifts. it's one of those "let me post something that looks like it's Veeky Forums related but the thread will actually be about the op image"
Gabriel Lopez
please explain why someone would need the eccentric part of the deadlift :)
Sebastian Brown
It was entirely about deadlifts until you arrived.
Carter Smith
Thanks bros. I'm lifting 377lbs for 5 sets of up to 7 reps, with bumper plates in my own garage gym so I don't have to worry about being loud or hurting anyone except myself.
I might have to lower the weight then, sigh
Josiah Smith
post more pics
James Powell
The gym I go to only has those one machines for bench, squad, and deadlift
Do you change your form and method on those?
Wyatt Martin
Throw traps into any good thing and it is no longer a good thing.
Daniel Barnes
you mean smith machine?
Gabriel Gomez
Gotta do deads faggots
Angel Carter
Is it bad to round your back? I've been doing it thinking it was the natural consequence of lifting heavy.
Angel Bell
it looks like this
Camden Murphy
>holdy spikes
Jace Ross
Are you George Costanza?
Mason Perez
Ok so I'm very tall and I have so-so mobility. I've been doing my deadlifts a little lifted off the ground, around 30cm i think. A dude at my gym recommended it to me, he does the same thing he's tall and huge. I'd like to know what Veeky Forums thinks about it. I tried to draw what it looks like kinda.
Jeremiah Thompson
Well I slept with your wife
Parker Rivera
You can also try sumo style if you have problems keeping your back straight
Juan Martin
Jamal?
Ryder Cox
It's the one lift that truly drains me completely. Squats are tough but deadlift leaves me fucking knackered. Although it may be cause I usually do then after squats...
Anyway, it's a great lift. I've always done then belt less, cause standard belts don't fit me in a deadlift starting position, and if your form is sound your back will be OK. It's retards who either don't know how to do the lift or rush to put too much weight on the bar than they can handle that snap their shit up.
Cameron Collins
jerk store was better
Camden Wood
I don't know enough to recommend much, but definitely do more mobility work.
Also, I'm hoping your pic is just shit, because that looks nothing like a deadlift. In a deadlift, save for the brief moment where it goes past your knees, the middle of your foot, bar and shoulder should always be in line. Your pic looks like the bar is somewhere out in front of your head, and your body way behind it.
Brandon Young
yeah the pic is just shit i did it in 30sec.
and for mobility work idk man nothing seems to work. if i go low my butt winks no matter how much i stretch etc. on a side note because it's kinda relevant I'm not a beginner i pull 470lbs
Alexander White
Trappy, how did you come to be so knowledgable? Did you go to school for this kind of stuff?
Sebastian Phillips
Whose that dick dehydrator?
Jacob Perry
Her
Sebastian Parker
>her
Evan Flores
what a qt, now i know why people around here like her so much
Colton Rogers
deadlifts blow dick man i hate doing them why can't trappy blow my dick instead
Ayden Green
desu i don't know if i like trappy's nose, probably the least flattering picture he/she released
Isaac Rodriguez
prob have to see full face first though, she's a real qt in literally every other pic
Brandon Hall
Christ what a monster
Juan Howard

Josiah Price
>tfw I find this one the most attractive
uhh
Landon Morris
The more I see Trappy, the more I think he looks like Sasha Grey.
Michael Green
Or Quiet
Evan Moore
>Those man hands
Ew
Thomas Cook
Those are a woman's hands tho.
Connor Edwards
Yes you can, they're called squats.
Brayden Sanchez
Looks like Sasha grey mixed with Maggie gyllenhaal
Dominic Carter
If you're also having trouble building bicep, diddy is your friend! You'll get big arms from it
Aiden Davis

Zachary Cook
The OP isn't a picture of boardshorts though. ...
William Sullivan

Jack Anderson
op here >literally somewhat self conscious because i feel like my biceps are lagging way behind my tris t-thanks SS is this true tho do diddlies really help biceps?
Aaron Gutierrez
the most balanced beginner routine, strength and aesthetics, perfect volume
Carson Scott
They do, But you should just curl as well if your biceps are lagging.
Adam Evans
Seriously why do these idiots take advice from a dyel tranny with no education or experience? Its the same type of cuck that asks Jason Blaha for advice on weight loss.
Easton Carter
Guys, my shoulderblades get tight and hurt a bit after deadlifting, is this normal or my for is shit?
Dominic Edwards
Yeah lmao. All he does is regurgitate shit from a few books. Most of the information is pointless, inconsistent or lacking anyway. So sad this attentionhunry cockwhore gets so much attention from all these beta DYELs
Jordan Lewis
Vince G?
Wyatt Stewart
probably tight lats and traps for sitting so much in front of your pc
