look it up brah.
I meant that both workouts are mainly in your upper legs and biceps. And dead lifts are easy i want a challenge. They are the most dangerous work out that you can do if you pop your lower back your done. Plus there is way safer ways to work your lower back and more efficient.Deadlifts are pointless do something more important like squats. you lift with your legs anyway!
If people actually did always lift with their legs, why are we always having to be reminded to 'lift with your legs'? Strengthening your lower back is beneficial for a variety of reasons.
Biceps?
Seriously??

I don't HAVE to look it up brah, I've got a screw and button in my radial tuberosity, and a nasty little scar running up the inside of my right arm as a result of engaging my biceps when trying to deadlift something I shouldn't have.
On second thought...I think it's best you DON'T do deadlifts. Because however it is you've learned to do them, you ARE going to seriously injure yourself.0 -

Biceps act as a stabilizing muscle in a deadlift however are not used in an active engagement at all unless done drastically wrong. In a properly done dead lift the arms are completely extended and relaxed. Bicep tendon tears tend to happen on either improper form (actively putting tension into the arms to perform the lift), excessively high weight for the lifter, and many times using thicker than standard olympic bars.
It happens rarely even when using mixed grip, and only if the bicep is actively contracted while the hand is supinated.

I love deadlifts did 305lbs for 3 reps last week. I also love squats, but have knee issues so my limit is 195lbs so far.

Deadlifts are definitely great. I had a messed up hamstring and then suffered a disc protrusion last year which really jacked me up for a while. I've actually come back stronger this time around. I make sure to do a lot of hamstring and lower back work now.0

They. Are. AWESOME. Hack squats are pretty damn awesome, too.

Deadlifts are mainly in your quads, hips, and lower back, supported by like every other muscle group in your body. The bicep is not a MAIN driver of the deadlift.0 -

It's actually not a driver at all. In a properly done deadlift the majority of your major arm muscles are completely relaxed.0 -

Are none of you going to address the assertion that squats are also a bicep exercise? lol.0 -

Well thank you all for playing tonight's round of "Troll, or Just Stupid?". Join us again next time when we discuss the affect that shoe color has on calorie burn during dart playing.0

This made me laugh out loud with a pretty good snort. I visualize a very 1970's game show set for this "Troll, or Just Stupid?" phenomenon that'll be sweeping the nation any day now...and I always burn more calories when I wear my neon shoes.0 -
I'm just waiting for that one kid to come back from his furious Googling to try and prove me wrong.0

I use wrestling shoes. I figure if it works for deadlifts, it should work even better for darts.0 -

Oh...awesome, I always wanted a pair or wrestling shoes, hadn't thought about picking up a pair since I became a grown up.0 -

Hey, I was serious!! I lift in wrestling shoes lol.
Besides, they're oh so stylish...that gives me a 2x burn on my calories out regardless.0 -
I love it, seen this kid in two threads now - one where he idolizes that d-bag Zyzz, now this.

350lbs is awesome!! I'm at a grip limited 275lbs right now. Picking up some chalk before deadlift day (Mondays!) and going to try it that way.
Awesome stuff man, seriously.
What about mixed grip mate? I bet you can pick up 300+ with mixed grip no problem....
I've been a little nervous about the mixed grip lol, only because I just had my right lower biceps tendon repaired in February (I deadlifted a motorcycle with one arm...long story). I've been considering keeping my right hand in a normal grip, and switching my left hand though.
Actually...I'll give it a go Monday
.
I use mix grip as well.. I strained my back a few months ago at work and laid off deadlifts. My 2nd week back to doing them again got up 335 x 40 -

Freakin awesome...I can't wait to try this out lol.0 -
I've never not used mixed grip, considering the arm muscles are not involved at all I found it more stable for grip and pointless to do any other way.0
-
Also love deadlifts. I try to use overhand as much as possible, but have to used mixed to finish my first working set at least. Currently at 8x250 at 139 lbs body weight, which makes me feel like a badass.0

A guy goes to bed early and misses all this fun. Damn.
I have found that deadlifting in my Vibram Five Fingers has improved my dart game dramatically.
After reading "that one dude's" posts I'm going to start doing 5 sets of 30 curls as an assistance exercise for squats.
Now that I know deadlifts are dangerous and can KILL YOU I feel like even more of a bad moderator edit0 -
I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY! When I first did the 45lb plates (total 135 still by no means a heavy weight) I felt as if I had conquered a new land and staked it out as mine alone. LOVE LOVE LOVE Deadlifts and Stronglifts0

Y'all are having a grand old time. They just make me lose my hearing for a short time.
I had to stop at a low weight due to a back injury, but started DL again about a month ago.
Stuck at 240, but I think I've had awful form... going to hit them again tonight.0
