They always make my back hurt like hell the day after, but so worth it. Since I incorporated them, my hamstrings and glutes have popped significantly (although it could be the hip thrusts too, incorporated them around the same time). It's all about the form. Make sure you keep your legs stiff, strong and clench your muscles. Go slow, don't just pop the bar up and down quickly.3

You've heard correct. Deadlifts are fantastico. But please, for the love of glutes, be mindful of form.5

It is the most overall, beneficial lift there is in my opinion. You won't be sorry.4

Oh, you probably wanted to know how they've affected my body....LOL5 -

I had this as I started lifting heavier. I tried a lifting belt for the first time last week, deadlifted 300 lbs, and no sore back! I'm definitely purchasing my own lifting belt as I continue on.0 -

I'm so psyched now0

Think about it...it's a very functional lift. And yes, it works the entire body...just mind your form...bad form is where people end up with hurt backs.
If I was told that I could only do one lift, dead lifts would be on the short list...they wouldn't actually win, but probably number two...I love cleans.1 -

I already feel my butt worked harder, squats are awesome but this might just be a game changer1

It's a good lift. But i would follow a professionally designed program, because self-designed routines are often flawed. Bonus points for having your form checked by a good trainer. At the very least, video your form.

Not puny...I recently started reading up on this stuff and kettleball swinging and I have fell in love. I feel like I will be able to do something significant I never thought possible. It is exciting! I picked up your enthusiasm! I ordered a book and have been surfing bodybuilding.com.2 -

Definitely enthused, every gain, every change just motivates me more I have never made it this far at the gym before quitting, I am cemented in now! This will always be a part of my life

I like deadlifts even more than donuts! I do them twice a week and always look forward to those workouts.3

Are you counting the bar weight? If not you were lifting more than you think.

Sadly that was including the bar lol but .. Onward & upward I work out at home in our little gym with a barbell, it's max is 20K and was too heavy for me to lift onto my shoulders for squats (still managed with help) so decided to try deadlifts, ..seems a great solution1
