Dead lifts are the most taxing exercise on the body. Dead lifts don’t suit everyone’s leverages. Some are better off sumo dead lifting or even using a trap bar. Learning the sumo deadlift if you’re constantly injuring your lower back with regular dl’s is the way to go. Puts you in more of an upright position which takes tension off the lower back and makes it more quad dominant.

i have been doing ten reps with it for 7 years one of the many ol school exercises i have always loved but i keep the weight at 50% of what i can max out for 2 reps so if i can max at lets say 50 i did do 25.

so my question is lately i have trying to increase that 25 to like 35 gradually and so on till i feel maxed out coz something in my head tells me that it could push my endurance or something? I dunno this is the first time i have come across these facts abt 10 reps being harmful in the long run. So lemme know if i am wrong about this experiment i have been at before i fuck myself up LOL

Also i never had any gym injuries or used and sort of staps etc. ever in my life. andt sumo dead lifts are exactly what i do apparently. which i was not aware of until now coz thats how i started it in my teens and stuck with it.
