Any thoughts on submaximal deadlifting with or without a belt?0

Deadlifting has been known to cause farts.0

Would cutting reps be considered a deload or should I run my full workout at about 60% weight?0

When I deload, I usually cut weight...and sometimes sets. But your mileage may vary.0 -

You can really do either. My preference is to leave the weight on the bar but reduce the number of sets.0 -
I have developed tendinitis in both elbows due to too much deadlifting. I fell in love with it in April. And I have just done too much too often. My body has let me know that it needs a break. I plan on taking the next two weeks off which is going to kill me since I'm an addict. I plan on continuing to squat 1 day heavy and 1 day light. Any ideas on other things I could do to not go crazy?0

If it's actually just tendonitis, try just using straps for a bit? It's the gripping part that caused my tendonitis (golfer's elbow). Seems a bit weird to have that happen on deadlifts though, since there is no elbow articulation. Are you sure that's what the problem is?0

I think it's a mixture of a few things but it hurts to do any pulling exercise. I never use straps and it's my under hand (mixed grip). Going back to my straps when I get back into it and probably double over hand grip.0

Thanks ya'll.
Continuing on Wendler 531 and adding couch25K for the last 10 weeks has prompted me to take a break. I am having knee pains like never before and also lower back pain (right side). I feel that I may have over worked having run 5 5k training runs on top of my usual 5/3/1 workouts (no accessories).
I want to continue running but not sure how if the pain continues.0 -

Given that you have joint pain I'd consider deloading harder (lol). In other words, do more than just take some volume away. Let that stuff heal up.
For me anyway, joint pain = take weight off the bar and possibly take a training break. But if I don't actually hurt and I'm in a deload phase I prefer to just reduce volume and leave weight on the bar.0 -

Greg Nuckols has some good articles on belt and belt-less training.

I've been working my way back from my shoulder injury, and my bench presses have not been recovering the way I'd hoped. It's only been five weeks since I resumed lifting, so maybe it'll just take some more time. The good news is the pain in my shoulders has all but disappeared during daily activities, although my left shoulder takes a while to warm up before doing pressing motions with full range of motion. But I was struggling to do sets of five at BW last workout, when I used to be doing sets of five at 1.25x BW.
Not wanting resolution from y'all, just venting a little with peeps who may understand.0 -

Thanks SS, I have 2 days of deload left for this week and I sill have quite a bit of knee pain as well as a slight dull pain in lower back. I was scheduled to do a heavy 5/3/1 workout today (rep count in half) and short slow run tomorrow but I may just head to the gym and stretch and relax.0 -

Yeah, it sucks. I hurt my shoulder in an unrelated incident and it took about 4 months before I was benching similar numbers again.0 -

Thanks...but...yeah, I'd read all that and my take-away was, "it depends". Lots of info on squats and "near maximal" effort. Lately I've been doing DL with and without a belt. I don't think my top, working sets are even 75% of an estimated 1RM. With a belt seems to help me think about and concentrate on increasing IAP, which I try to carry over to beltless.
Thanks again.0 -
I understand and feel similar.I've been working my way back from my shoulder injury, . . .

I had shoulder surgery last Dec and was told to not even try a BW Bench until this Dec. Before surgery my 5 RM was ~1.5X BW.
Patience patience patience.
