Deadlifting for the first time tomorrow after years of ignoring it and now I realise it's crucial for putting on mass if u don't wanna have 2 cut to skelly.
Any1 got any tips, mistakes u made in progression of the deadlift?
I know every1 says it only takes 9 months to get 4pl8s but it usually takes 2 + years due to the fact ppl don't know what they're doing.
What should I avoid and what should I focus on, plus any mistakes u made.

Watch Rip and TheArtOfManliness' video for the gist.
Only advice I can personally give is not to overdo it on volume/frequency/tonnage. If you already squat thrice a week you probably won't need to pull more than a couple heavy sets. Otherwise, you might put undue stress on your back and get injured.
Should I diddylift twice a week or once
I squat 2x a week atm
>tfw subpar on all muscle groups except one in the shoulder area, which is untrained
>tfw literally training to get to 'untrained' status before I can move onto novice.
JFL at my life.
I'd say twice if that's the case. Currently, I squat and deadlift twice per week on the same day.
First day is a lighter set of deadlift followed by 5 sets of squats. Second day is a heavier set of deadlift followed by 3 sets of squats. I don't the deadlift first so that my back isn't compromised beforehand.
This might not apply to you since you're still a novice. Tbh if I was if your shoes I'd hop on SS or SL 5x5 and run that out. You'll make the most gains in the shortest amount of time.
Read the sticky, of course.
I do the deadlift first*
I'll run ss style deadlifts then.
5x5 is a bit much considering the rest of my routine, will 3x5 be ok?
U have 2 realise that I'm benching over 2pl8s and ohping 1.5 so linear progression is a bit weird 4 me it's been a while.
Weird lol I'm like a novice on some lifts but quite advanced on others
Bump
Neither SS or SL call for 3x5 for 5x5 DL, both say 1x5 on alternate days. SS complicates this further in phase 2 and 3 by introducing back extensions and power cleans.
You doing a ULxULxx split or something? If so, just use something along the lines of the method I spoke about earlier.
Na I do fullbody 3x a week but only squat twice
So I should 1x5 dl?
I'd tell myself not to bulk to fatmode and do SS.
Eat around maintenance and do a memesplit and you'll look way better.
This
I bulked too hard I didn't realise that your body can only really put on 2lbs of muscle max a month and I was literally gaining 5-8lbs a month. 3/4 Of weight gain was fat
Yeah on alternating days i.e. one day on, one day off.
Okey
3x a week or 2?
I think i might 3x a week for a month just to get the lift up a bit quicker, at this stage I reckon I can manage +15lbs a week. It's only 1 set too, literally will take 5mins
.
>your body can only really put on 2lbs of muscle max a month
Sure if you have a vagina
Bro it's science. If you could put on more than 2lbs a month of muscle you'd be able to put on like 40-50lbs of muscle a year. That is just impossible natty
You should do warm up sets to work your way to your working set or you'll snap your shit up
Ofc bro. I'm only gonna be DL like 2 pl8s tho so I won't spend 20min warming up just like 3min
The key to the DL is to squeeze everything. My brotégé has been struggling a bit with tightness in the DL, yesterday I forgot the chalk, so I was just encouraging him to squeeze the fuck out of the bar in his set up, and his deads looked the best they ever have, 2 months in now and yesterday he got a 2pl8 x1 squat and 2.5pl8x2 diddly. Feels good man
I'm hoping to hit that on my first day lol
Good for you man, everyone starts in different places
That was me at the beginning, except my shoulders were untrained too.
In a few months it's done, dont worry, you'll be at untrained .
After years of ohp benching and chins I should have the strength to pull 2pl8s. I mean I used to deadlift the 50kg dumbbells up so
its not a dang darn goal!
its a dang darn NEED
my wake up EACH day EVERY day 24/7 for my NEED and i do it!
whatever are you're need you DO IT!!!
go and DO IT NOW
My goal has to be to make my dad stop spit at me and angry when i go his front door! for 11 years he left me alone and tell me to do that to him, after my incident he throw me out! now i am going back to finish some study and getting out of a bad situation almost there! i plan by christmas go his front door and show him my greatness! my mum passes away in 2007 but they didnt liked each other so i just want one parent again! he will become my dad again like he used to ! my goals will be come reality and next christmas im have a family again :)
