Are awesome! Even though I'm still at a light weight (175) I feel like an animal when I get done. I started Stronglifts about six weeks ago after having not lifted in almost 20 years. I had never done Deadlifts before because I was scared of hurting my back. I never knew what I was missing.
That is all.

My favorite!!
Did 155 pounds today. Not bad for a 4'11" 120 pounds lady0 -
yay deadlifts! I've only been lifting anything but kids for 4 months, and deadlifts have been really slow because I have a back injury. However, I pr'd at 125 last week, beating my previous max by 30#!0

yeah buddy!0

I also have back issues (herniated a disc lifting a piano about 9 years ago and then reinjured it about two years ago) so I was very tentative starting out. I've been very cognizant of my form and so far haven't had any back issues at all.0

I agree it's an awesome exercise. You guys are giving me so much motivation to get up to your weights! I just recently started incorporating deadlifts into my routine though so am starting off lighter to ease myself into it.0

I don't even care of it has any physical benefits. Just feeling like a bad motherfcker is benefit enough. Anything else is just a bonus.0

I feel the same way. I just make sure my form is good and do a few of the exercises I did for PT when I first hurt it and I'm sure it's a lot healthier than it was two months ago.0 -
:drinker: Love deadlifts!! They make me feel awesome!
Got a PR of 187 the other week0 -
Dead lifts are my favorite exercise, squats is a close second. But dead lifts take the crown because I feel like a primal beast during, and afterwards my whole body has this amazing calmness to it. My PR is 350lbs(160Kg)0

I get the primal beast thing and I'm only halfway to where you are. I'm not getting the calmness though. I get so freakin jacked I can't quit shaking for about 15 minutes. And I talk really fast and annoy the shlt out of my wife.0 -

My muscles are buzzing like a mild electric current is going through them for about 15mis, then 30-45 mins later my body feels relaxed and amazing.0
