Blue pill me on deadlift

What do you mean?

if you're going all out there's no reason not to use a belt other than ego gains. you add an easy 10 kilos to your 1RM and you significantly lower the risk of injury, it's silly not to use one

>im a big macho man who don't need no equipment
silly attitude user, with that logic you shouldn't use chalk or lifting shoes either (and you should use chalk and lifting shoes, too)

What about this: DL is the lift that makes you feel the most powerful when you hit a PR. That bang when you release the last rep is like cumming on a 10/10's face

>pic related, use it to get those PRs rolling

I use a hex bar for my deads mainly because I have herniated disc in my lower back. But after doing it a while I realized that I got the ham string and glute activation I had never got doing normal deads. It might not be the best choice for you but it's certainly helped me.

Alex, pls go

that's a hack squat, not a deadlift. don't call it as such.

Most people are blue pilled af on diddly I've never seen anyone at my gym lift more than my measly 3.75pl8s some big guys struggle with 3pl8s what the fug

No, its a deadlift. Its a pull action. A hack squat is also a deadlift, not a squat.

A dead lift is a specific movement performed with a barbell. You aren't allowed to bring your little frilly hex bar to a meet.

I thought a dead lift was a movement where the bar bar is taken up from the ground to a standing position (but the arms do not bend). So a straight leg dead lift is a dead lift where you don't bend your knees. A hack squat is also a dead lift because the barbell is taken from the ground to a standing position behind the lifter. I've done both and a hex dead lift is not a hack squat lol.
