Deadlift Routine - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

NumeroUno · 17-09-2006, 06:48 PM

Decided to add deadlifts to my back workout. Whats the best rep/set range to go with. Looking to use it as a power compound move to add lower back/leg mass. Know one rep max is pop in prisons. Any advice welcome!

5x5 is a favourite.

If you're new at deadlifts, keep them light and get your form 100% before you start adding weight to the bar.

I dont like to drop below 10 myself.

I like to do 3 x 10 towards the end of my workout when i'm warmed up.
If i do them at the start i'm week for the rest of the workout.

I couldnt imagine doing 10 reps of deads.

I like to go heavy max is 6, at a push 8 very rarely !!

I do a workset to failure doing anywhere from 8-13 reps.
Grip tends to be gone at the end but thats ok with me.

If its for power then high reps should be avoided.

5 x 5 like Big suggested is good... Also

4 x 6
3 x 7
2 x 8

Lift as heavy as possible for the rep /set range you pick.
