How much are you deadlifting?

Ladies
I highly suggest stiff leg deadlifts. They are good for woman and get get you use to a something very similiar to a deadlift.
Start with stiff legs and then cross over to traditional deadlift. IMO
Why?
There better be a good reason why I should train any differently because I lack a penis. I have no problem bucking a 130 pound bale of hay, why should I be modifying my weights?
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who laughed at this dumb comment
I thought it was so "bro" that it wasn't even worth a comment. FFS . . .0 -
F - 5'6" 150lbs - 95 lbs for 3 x10
Just started NROLW a couple weeks ago, so buidling up. Need to get some chalk because my grip was slipping a bit this morning.
Look above, try a mixed grip. Make sure that you're gym allows chalk (many don't). I bought those grip flexers (with the springs) to help me work on my grip strength.0 -

Just keep going and keep working it. Don't be afraid to load up more weight and challenge yourself BUT always keep good form.
I use a mixed grip, left hand facing out.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I workout at home so don't have to worry about that, just have to worry about my kids getting into it! :laugh:0 -
Haven't tried in a few weeks, but I am F/28 and I deadlift 115lbs, which is around my body weight, for 3 sets of about 6-8 reps...
Not sure what my 1RM is. My grip is pretty weak though
Love the deadlift!!0 -
I'm 5'8/F/172lbs been lifting for about 3 months and my 1RM is 175lbs.0

I have been trying hard to increase but right now I am only 5ft 10.5 inches tall.
I weight 187.25lbs
I just started heavy lifting this year ( <---excuse for being wimpy). My 1RM is 210.
And I am old (another excuse for being wimpy.)0 -

Sir
I have a nice, stiff leg I'd like to share with you and your opinion.
Ladies
if you want to deadlift, I suggest you deadlift, because deadlifting will get you used to deadlifting.

When I do reps of 10-15 I usually do 165-175ish.

Agreed about the mixed group! it might make a huge difference. I utilize it!0 -
I did Romanian Deadlifts this morning. I weigh 135lbs, 5'4", Female. My highest RDL was 115#, 5 reps. Last time I did regular deadlifts, I think it was 135lbs 5 reps. I think I could do more, but even with a mixed grip I can't keep my grip. Have to work on my forearms!0

Working sets with 105lbs, 1RM of 140lbs. I'm 5'5"/132lb/F. I use gloves; need to give the mixed grip thing a try.0

Inspiring reading everyone's postings. I am female, 5'8", 143, and was happy to be up to 95 lbs in my third set today. Slow but steady...0

well i don't know about you, but sometimes my fallopian tubes get in the way when i bend over.
seriously... i read somewhere that wearing gloves could also get in the way of a good grip when you're doing deadlifts. i'm doing them again on sunday so i'll try a combo of no gloves, hook grip, mixed grip etc. hopefully this time i wont have as much forearm paim the next day0
