difference between deadlift - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

hey gents.. just curious as to your views on a regular deadlift and using a machine like this..

got one at the gym and im able to keep my hips tilted better... psychological thing?

as explained i have a pelvic tilt due to tight hammies.. so deadlifts and squats can be a hassle for me if i don't really watch my technique..

views on pro's and cons of the machine as opposed to barbell deads?

I'd deal with your pelvic tilt first mark rather than looking to avoid it...

i am working on it buddy.. its a matter of lots of stretching and ab work.. and thats what im doing currently.

so you reckon avoid deads and squats entirely?

Nope.

Just don't switch to a different machine. You been to see a Chiro/Physio?

not as of yet.. but i am planning on it within the next month or so..

so you recommend stick to barbell? even though i find it more difficult to hold my hips in the right place?

dumbell deads are even better than barbell to me.. but not heavy enough.

Big_Dan · 25-02-2008, 03:49 PM

i did a 8 week routine on them , because i got the 220kg mark n couldnt get past it, so switched to dumbells , n found them good , balanced me out aswell ,

i think i did -
week1-2 - 3x6
week3-4 - 6x3
week5-6 - 3x6
week7-8 - 6x3

kept alternating the reps

how did you find the weight though? 220kg barbell deads is a lot heavier then 2x50kg dumbell deads surely?

our DB only go upto 50's :(

Big_Dan · 25-02-2008, 03:56 PM

Ummm i think i started off with the 40`s first week and then ended up with 65kgs mate !!

nothing special , but i found they worked as im up to 240kg now for reps

good lift buddy! well done.. maybe i will change to dumbells at some stage if this hip thing doesnt get sorted.

like the look of it-id use it

**Nytol** · 25-02-2008, 08:03 PM

I would stick to the bar, I do not like the look of the machine TBH, anything that locks you into a fixed range of motion is not good in my book.

SCJP · 25-02-2008, 08:08 PM

What about using a trap bar?
