LIFT

Squats are great, but they don't work the posterior chain nor upper back muscles like a deadlift.

2018-02-21 05:10:27 UTC  

Plus there are few things more primal than lifting a lot of weight. Feels good man.

2018-02-21 05:13:43 UTC  

What's the best guide to deadlifting without snapping my spine?

2018-02-21 05:14:13 UTC  

Deadlifts work grip strength. Deadlifts might "work the same muscles" but they work them in a different way. Doing only squats is not a substitute for deadlifts. Barbell rows work your biceps but just because they work the same muscles doesn't mean they're a substitute for specific bicep exercises. Adding another heavy, full body lift to your workout will only make you stronger

As for guides, I would look up anything by Boris Sheiko

2018-02-21 05:23:50 UTC  

With proper form and starting off light, and focusing on getting the form first, you won't hurt your back, and are just as safe as you are doing a squat

I also suggest checking out the YouTube channel untamed strength with Allen Thrall. He has a lot of good, no-bullshit advice for lifters.

deadlift on arm or leg day?

2018-02-22 14:27:11 UTC  

Some people will it on their leg day along with squats. I like to have a separate deadlift and back accessory day

2018-02-22 17:48:59 UTC  

Leg dayyyy

2018-02-22 17:53:13 UTC  

Deadlift day lol

2018-02-22 18:03:04 UTC  

BENCH DAYYY

2018-02-22 18:07:34 UTC  

Everyday is leg day for me, at least today is low bar and cgbp

2018-02-22 18:10:38 UTC  

Push day, pull day and extra day to hit your weak points. For 5 day a week routine, hit push and pull twice.

2018-02-22 18:10:54 UTC  

Push = bench, squat, press, triceps

2018-02-22 18:11:10 UTC  

Pull = deadlift, row, pull-ups, biceps

2018-02-22 20:12:11 UTC  

I have upper body and lower body days

2018-02-22 20:12:15 UTC  

6 days a week

2018-02-23 02:28:33 UTC  

Deadlift day fo sho.

2018-02-23 02:29:11 UTC  

I like to hit deadlift hard on Saturday morning and then eat a big ol lunch.

2018-02-23 11:38:59 UTC  

This is my routine. How to modify to add deadlifts? I have dynamic warm up, then either jump rope/plyo jump circuit, then either of these depending on the day, followed by a run.

You don’t have enough back work

2018-02-23 14:23:07 UTC  

Only two back and no rows
2 pressing and no flyes
Random bicep and shoulder
Mostly front delt

2018-02-23 14:26:26 UTC  

For lower body
Only one compound movement
3 exercise isn’t enough

2018-02-23 14:26:42 UTC  

You write this yourself or did you find it?

2018-02-23 18:04:33 UTC  

I'm not a fan of 'upper body' and 'lower body' arrangement in general

2018-02-23 18:19:38 UTC  

This is my lifting routine for the week

Hey guys, I've received the suggestion from lifters many times now to take a creatine supplement. I'm trying to research it and I find all sorts of positive opinions on it from fitness magazines. I trust the people who have recommended it to me but I want to make sure I have every possible theoretical side of the story. The one concrete skeptical comment I got about it was from an osteopathic doctor I visited (for an unrelated issue) who said he admittedly did not know much about it but didn't see how it would help and said I might be concern about any supplement going through the kidneys. Beyond that I haven't heard any criticism of taking creatine supplements. The article I felt was most scientific on it was this one: http://healthpsych.psy.vanderbilt.edu/Survey_of_Creatine_Literature.htm and they say that all the literature they reviewed did not really find any bad side effects to using a creatine supplement, which was very reassuring to me. But I want to know if anyone knows of ANY criticisms of creatine use, just so I can have all possible sides of this issue. Thanks for your attention.

Mfw forget headphones so i run the half mile from gym to dorm and back. Nothing like a mile run pwo before leg day

2018-02-23 22:10:35 UTC  

Yeah but what was your time?

2018-02-23 22:11:46 UTC  

not fast enough

2018-02-23 22:20:43 UTC  

@peytonT#2360 @Deleted User how would you guys recommend I modify it? It was given to me by a guy I know who is really knowledgeable about fitness

2018-02-23 22:41:16 UTC  

^tbh yeah. 7 minutes easy run. Currently hitting 405 squat dubs

2018-02-23 22:52:33 UTC  

Did someone mention supplements?

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola I would do your own research, bro. Take the fitness redpill. Nearly every 'knowledgeable about fitness' guy will have different opinions
