130kg deadlift. I weight at least 50 kg less than that. Very happy.

do u regard deadlifts as a back or legs exercise primarily and how do u incorporate them into ur routine? i'm thinking about starting them as i've kinda plateau'd recently but i wanna know when i should do them.

Back imo.Do them on Bicep/Back day before I do anything else as they tire me a bit and my grip isn't usually strong enough after I've done all the other exercises to hold the barbell long enough. It gives out before my back does which is a PITA.

[djbmc]

cool, cheers mate.

Last night I put my back out.....whilst bending over to plug in the Playstation.... I need to renew my gym membership and get my body into shape again.

Dont think ive ever done squats lol. I usually put in a few reps on a leg press. Deads my leg's for a day or two.

my full leg day last week fully killed me, doing calf raises for the first time in a year left me unable to stand up quickly and going down stairs was a serious effort, ive never felt pain like it from the gym,

LOOOL trusthad never done them before was hurting for f*ckin AGES

[King Jammy]

defo back, but they work your glutes massively too. i find that when i do leg press if u put the seat as close as u can get to the board and putting your legs as high as possible, u work the glutes really well, and this will help your deadlift and squats a lot
