fitness Dead lift

[Lord Severus]

Do you do deadlift?

In the right form, taking a reasonable weight and for the accurate amount of reps, the exercise is very good for the back muscles, especially the paraspinal muscle.

However, it has very high propensity to injure your spine and produce a disc bulge leading to back pain.

Presently, I take 20 reps x 3 sets with a total weight of 40 though I have gone up till 80kg.

Do you do deadlift?

Yes, and I much prefer deadlifting over squats, even though I squat too. Strictly speaking between the three great fundamental compound exercises: Bench, deadlift, and squat.

In the right form, taking a reasonable weight and for the accurate amount of reps, the exercise is very good for the back muscles, especially the paraspinal muscle.

It's also good for the legs, core, and even butt if you give it a good quench at the end of a rep, though not the primary focus, like the back and core.

However, it has very high propensity to injure your spine and produce a disc bulge leading to back pain.

It's a movement that you need to take care in doing and learn proper form before going up in weight, and to not ego lift with as you're definitely right there when lifting too much than your body can handle.

Presently, I take 20 reps x 3 sets with a total weight of 40 though I have gone up till 80kg.

As I'm going for fat loss now, I just do four sets of 25~ or until technical failure (until the lift is impossible) with 60kg/135 lbs since I don't want to hassle with loading or reducing weight every set. However, this number of repetitions can give me some major back pumps (pain caused by blood flow to the lower back) that will prevent me from continuing my bicep isolation exercises until the pumps subside.

When I get back into bodybuilding, I'll do 5 sets of 5 (5x5) reps at 140kg/315 lbs ~ or 3x3 at 180kg/405 lbs~. Even though at a point in time I was able to do more reps than 3 at 180kg/405 lbs, I wouldn't go much higher than 5 and wouldn't increase the weight because I do fear a back injury; instead, I'd just do one or two more sets.

I include deadlifts in my workouts yet I am more careful and make sure to perform them correctly to stay safe from damage. During my workouts I use a very slow actions combined with core engagement to help me avoid spinal damage.

I used to do 80KG, but I got injured during deadlift and I stopped. It took around 2 years for complete recovery though I am not sure how much of an anatomical correction has happened.

I have been trying hard to find an exercise that will replace deadlift, but it aint working out much. When the time comes, I plan to use waist-belt to support my spine and get back to my previous good of 80KG from the present 40KG that I take.

The deadlift injury has could be a source of distress. I will recommend using a waist-belt which will serve as a good precaution for spine protection alongside core and back muscle strengthening to protect against injuries.

The deadlifts activate different muscle groups all at once which makes them a very special exercise . It is always good to work with a personal trainer or coach to help rebuild your deadlifting form. They will help you minimize future injuries.

Yes. I agree with this.

Infact, I have noticed that while using the waist belt, I feel more comfortable, especially when lifting more than 50kg and upwards.

When I forget to take my waist belt, I just skip the deadlift and replace it with either superman extension or bench extension for my back.
