    That's what I was thinking.

    Then why would you want to deadlift in that?

    1) The gym I went to did not have pre loaded weights
    2) The dumbbells did not go up that high
    3) It was my only option and, well, I don't see why you can't do DL's in it.

    ETA: I also didn't leave the bar on the rack. I loaded it on the ground and did my dead lifts from the ground like you're supposed to. Again, no pre loaded bars and dumbbells that weren't that heavy

    I do RDL's in that rack so I don't have to put the weight on the ground.

    You're probably lifting in a gym where there are no bars for floor lifts and you have to take them from racks.
    Translation: A crappy gym.

    The safety bars are removable. You take those silly things out so you can put the bar on the floor. In the only place available in the gym for heavy squats. While your PT counts your reps.

    Cages are more flexible, and are used for more exercises to save you spotters/where the right racks aren't available.
    I've still seen a PTI doing deadlifts in the cage, which was the only place in that gym to use as a squat rack. I'd also like to point out that the cage was next to £4000 worth olympic lifting platform, Eleiko bar, collars and bumper plates.

    i use the squat rack for squats, deadlift, military press just cause i don't feel like searching out equipment all over the place. having said that, i do have to step out of it to do the deadlifts obviously.

    How would you use a power cage for a bench press? You have to lie down for those. People get really creative when they want to use something the wrong way...

    Of course, I used a full tool box for squats at home the other day, we don't have free weights and can't get a gym membership right now, so I McGyvered my squats.

    You slide the bench in. I do this often, when I don't have a spotter.

    I do deadlifts in one of the squat racks because loading the barbell on the floor is a *****.

    <IMG snipped> seems to be made for deadlifts as well, imo.

    Um...how?

    Well if it's the only gym you have available to me, as I did at the company I used to work for, then you deal with the "crappiness' of it. Oh, for the record it was a very good gym. I don't judge my gyms by whether or not it has pre loaded bars.

    I do squats, good mornings, and deadlifts in order in that. If you aren't supposed to have something supporting the bar while you load the weights and then move it back to the ground for deadlifts, someone please tell me how you are loading the bar on the ground? It seems inefficient.

    If you are a gym that only has a power rack or bench presses, where are you *supposed* to deadlift? I usually take the supports out of the power rack and do them there. If there is no where else to do deadlifts, yes, people who want to squat have to wait their turn.

    Well, I tilt the end up a little I want to put a plate on...

    Dumbell presses work well when you don't have a spotter. If it gets too heavy just drop the weight. Make sure to yell too. If not nobody will believe you were struggling.

    If you are a gym that only has a power rack or bench presses, where are you *supposed* to deadlift? I usually take the supports out of the power rack and do them there. If there is no where else to do deadlifts, yes, people who want to squat have to wait their turn.

    On the floor maybe?

    I can do a deadlift anywhere..... I don't need a rack.

    In any case, if you workout at a gym where these racks are available all of the time and there is never any wait (because there are so many), why shouldn't one use it? I don't understand why one might be doing it wrong if they are doing multiple muscle groups at one rack.

    And when your gym's dumbbells don't go up that high? Am I supposed to try and handle two dumbbells in one hand?

    With what? Are we supposed to steal a bar from the bench press? Then I piss off people who want to bench.

    I do squats, good mornings, and deadlifts in order in that. If you aren't supposed to have something supporting the bar while you load the weights and then move it back to the ground for deadlifts, someone please tell me how you are loading the bar on the ground? It seems inefficient.
    Well, I tilt the end up a little I want to put a plate on...

    WOW!!!! I never thought of doing that!!! :tongue:
    You're so logical!
