my opinion, deadlifts at my local community gym. atleast more than half don't do it. probably because a lot of "old" folks and generation Z are more prevalent in my area. on more popular gyms, it's the opposite.

Good stuff. I’ll give it a try and be fully warmed up first. Based on what he talked about I’m thinking they’re pretty damn hard to do the full rom/positive and negative, I know I can’t do full rom nordics. My height makes it tuff but also not strong enough right now

you' re a better man than me, i'd definitely look foolish trying to figure an orientation that works as long as i don't get hurt i'm down to go in...because there are a few machines in gyms where i'm not totally clear how you are supposed to use them

I don’t think I ever shared my home set up. Trap bar is so clutch, my fav piece to mess with by far. Joint feels so good on my legs

I been back lifting now consistently a couple mths after having a minor surgery. Cut down some weight with all the running/boxing. Strength still there, went "heavy" on deadlifts the other day (hadnt gone past 2plates in a long time). 315x10 moved like nothing, was kinda shocked but i guess its like riding a bike lol. I feel like i can still pull 5 but i dunno if thats a good idea 
. Think ima just stick to 3plates, max. Anything more seems like the risk outweighs the reward for me.

why did you have to get surgery? what qualifies as heavy for you if you can pull 5 plates/rep out 315x10 easy?

Finally got the bullet removed from my arm. Was cautious lifting weights after but everything back to normal now. I dunno? 4-5plates is heavy i guess? Once the bar starts to noticeably bend i guess lol

i got more questions…i don’t know what the official line of demarcation for ‘heavy’ is? would it be a certain percentage of your one rep max??
