Is deadlift a push or pull exercise?

Reason?
I'd consider nomal dealifts to be a mix of pull and push

>2017
>not pulling 2610 pounds raw

Was anyone actually impressed by how many plates there are?

Deadlift is a pull exercise for strength training and pretty it's useless for bodybuilding.

>it's pretty useless*

Kek

Technically all muscle contractions are pulls. Bench is a commonly accepted "push," movement. But it is achieved by contraction or pulling of the pectorals, delts, and tricepts.

Semantics aside, deadlift is commonly accepted as a pull movement in the push-pull-legs split because it involves pulling the weight from the floor and the posterior chain is the primary driver of the pull.

you're literally pulling the bar off the fucking ground. how dense can you be

Nigger are you retarded?

all muscle contractions are pulls therefore deadlifting is a pull

...

Does the movement involve flexion or extension of joints? You extend the hip joint and extend the knee joint. There is no dichotomy between squat and dealift, unlike, lets say, bench and overhead presses vs rows and pullups, where the muscles used for one perform the exact opposite function of muscles used for the other. It would be far more logical to just put into legs category and only use push/pull distinction for the upper body movements.

No you are literally pushing the whole earth away from the barbell.

push/pull is a meme.
the one piece of broscience that really cracks me up is the push muscle/pull muscle denomination.
pec is push muscle, so a fly is a push.
traps are pull muscles so an overhead shrug is a pull.
see?

Tough to categorize since push/pull is really a nonsensical distinction, and deadlift involves elements commonly associated with both types of movements.
Pull: bringing weight closer to core, counteracting force (gravity) downward along arms
Push: moving skeleton to 'open' position by standing up from closed fetal position

>stretching legs
>pull movement
you must be retarded to believe that. dealift is clearly push unless we talk stiff legged

...

Wtf are you saying
Do you think pull-ups are push because you're trying to push the bar down?

who the fuck is doing overhead shrugs???

>pull the bar up, push it back down
Obviously it's fucking both

>push = moving weight away from body
>pull = moving weight towards body

push = don't use grip
pull = use grip
very simple

>push = body and limbs extend
>pull = body and limbs contract
deadlift is push and pull-ups pull. so easy but you are too stupid to understand

In the context of a PPL routine, one could debate whether the deadlift belongs on Pull day or Leg day.

But to say it's related to pushing in any way is just fucking retarded.

>not gripping the bar on bench
I shiggy
>deadlift is push
You aren't pushing the bar, you are pulling it off the ground.
>pull up is a pull
No shit, sherlock, it's literally in the name of the exercise.

Pretty much the only good *relevant* post in bread. Push/Pull is just a way of compartmentalizing lifts to fit a structured program, whether or no a movement is "pull" or push often comes down to semantics and isn't fucking important. Just follow a push/pull/whatever program that is already structured by somebody who isn't braindead.

pretty common movement. really good from what I'm told, targets certain parts more effectively.

sounds like some crossfit shit desu

how do you do enoguh weight

...

you are stupid if define push/pull by the place of the weight
hip thrusts target the same muscles as deadlift but it's clearly a push exercise

no grip involved in hip thrust

same as squat
squat is a push, deadlift is a pull

What is squat then?

push

Hip thrusts push the weight away from body, deads pull weight to body
Push, trying to push bar away from body

And yes, I have autism, I know I'm right and I will explain why.

Idk mane, I don't do them personally.
nah it's bodybuilding advice

>pull exercises start where during the primary exertion, the muscles in use is in extension and ends in contraction
>push exercises start where during the primary exertion, the muscles used is in contraction and ends in extension
It's a push, user.

yeah but what most people mean with push pull is how you move the weight away from your center of gravity

hawthorne disagrees

mate you've got piss on your tits

>because you extend your legs to do the set, it's a pull
I get why he says that, but it's not right.

A pull exercise requires elbow flexion. In a deadlift your arms are straight, your hands acts as hooks holding the weight, your legs press/push or otherwise do the lifting. Your back musculature is worked only through the weighted stretch and isometric contraction.

i dont listen to blacks

obv both
>you pull with ur hadns
>you push w/ your legs

>i agree with him but I don't want to admit
maybe you should because there is a 99.9% chance that he is stronger than you

Pull with back, push with legs... its both

>understanding the argument is agreeing with it
How does it feel to be a retard?

you forgot about the admitting part

pushing the Earth away from you!!!

actually took the time to count

fucking retard mate. you fucking push your legs in the ground and the bar goes up.the fucking last part is pullwhen you straighten up.

kek

>vertical push
>vertical pull
>horizontal push
>horizontal pull
>leg press
>hip hinge
These are the main planes of movement we lift in. Can you match the exercise to the plane?
>ohp
>pull up
>bench press
>row
>squat
Aaaaand
>deadlift
Question answered.
Split into Sq/Bch/row & DL/ohp/pull-ups (weighted), sprinkle some assistance after it and alternate 3 days a week, and so long as you vary sets and reps every so often and progress in weight you could do this routine the rest of your life.
