Oh how I hate them so much!! But there's no other exercise out there that gives me the satisfaction after I've completed the full sets. Horrible nasty painful work out but so rewarding!

    You may be the only person who I've ever heard say they hate deadlifts.


    I love them. I live for deadlift day. I wish every day was deadlift day.

    I love them. I have to talk myself out of doing a set on off days.

    I have a love/hate relationship with them. Some days the weight goes up easy, other days it is bolted to the ground. I have bleed, cried and sweated because of deadlifts.

    With that being said, it is deadlift time now.

    Do you clean and press? For me clean & pressing is the burpee of weight lifting. After 10 or so my heart is about ready to explode through my chest. And after I am done with a set, its nap time.

    If you aren't seeing double at the end, chances are you aren't pulling enough. /meathead

    I'm that way with squats.

    Deadlifts make me feel B.A.

    Something you might want to shoot for...squatting at least 1.5X your body weight and dead-lifting 2x your body weight. If you aren't cross-eyed after a good 1x5 you don't have enough of a load.

    Also, kinda like this on a 1 RM...

    If you don't puke after each rep then you're doing it wrong.

    I love dead lifts! I love that stretching feeling I get while doing them. Plus, they are extremely beneficial.

    fun fact the deadlift exercise came 4m England when in the black plauge the horses died so they had to "lift" them out of the way and stack them b the side of the road

    if there weren't deadlifts I would still have a crappy posture and couldn't stand 10 minutes without my lower back aching
    deadlifts saved my life man

    I feel the same way! Squats have done awesome things for my body even in only 5 weeks but I do not love them. Deadlifts though...love them!

    Much like dead lifts, I also enjoy causing stretching.
