How many pounds can ya'll deadlift?

[Manhattan]

I’ve never done a 10 rep max on deadlifts. I pretty much never go above 5-6 reps on DL’s. Used a rep calculator based on my one rep max and it would be 400lbs x 10 reps.

Deadlifts are the most taxing exercise on the body. Deadlifts don’t suit everyone’s leverages. Some are better off sumo deadlifting 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.

Again, mans on point. Rep's of ten for deadlifts is just madness and asking for an injury to occur. May not occur right there and then but it will certainly kick start the process...

5, 6 max of a deadlift rep.

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.

If you’re looking to gain strength...reps in the 2-5 range is the way to go. Look up Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 program or look up 5x5 for strength. The rep ranges you’re doing are too high to maintain progressive overload with your deadlifts. When you use rep ranges in the 8-10 on your DL’s it’s no longer about just strength. Limiting factors become your endurance and grip. Also, your ability to brace your core for that long to protect your lower back is harder to maintain. Stick with the lower rep ranges!

Endurance grips is the focus actly, (i switch between strength heavy and endurance heavy regimes every six months or so) thanks for that man i know i am atleast on the right tracks now.

Also i dnt do ab workouts like crunches etc DLs and side arm lifts is all i do for my core followed by some yoga post workouts.
