How much deadlift is too much deadlift?

However much you hurt yourself on would be too much. If your form is correct and you are gradually increasing this shouldn't be an issue.

ETA: If you're asking about doing too MANY deadlifts in a short amount of time, I have no idea but I wouldn't think so since you're jumping down to bodyweight deadlifts.

There are a lot of variables that come into play here. I'm not a pt or professional, but when I was into the heavy lifting the rule used to be, if you went to failure, you went two to three days between "parts" with no more than two failure sets a week, for lighter and not failure, 1 to 2 days with no more than three per week

So, something along these lines - if you hit failure on lower body on Monday, you would not do lower body again until Thursday or Friday

This is completely a recipe for disaster. This is exactly why crossfit gets so much hate. The chance you are really going to F yourself up vs any small benefit of why te har you doing this is INSANE. Not in the "OMG you guys are working so hard its insane" way, the "A you Fin stupid" insane way.

FIRST. Timed or any mitigated time for deadlifts is completely stupid. This is one of the one things in the gym you never NEVER want to rush. The consequences for rushed bad form for this lift are huge. Does a skipped disk sound like fun? Does chronic pain in your lower back for the rest of your life sound hardcore? All because you get rushed and have xrappy form once is all it takes and it doesn't even have to be at a high weight. Even when you are not timed everyone has an inclination to slip to bad form as their CNS is maxed out, doing this lift at a time interval is just irresponsible at best.

Now, hitting it again the very next day? What the hell are you smoking. The lower back takes a good deal longer to recover than most anything in your body. During this lift you are basically using your spine for leverage while curling up, if you hit something like this again when you are fatigued its basically the perfect disaster for torquing you lower back pretty bad. Almost everyone's form begins to degrade as they fatigue unless you really are an elite few.

The risk to benefit of this setup is insanely lopsided and not in your favor. Cancel your membership to that crap because if they are screwing up the most obvious things like this who knows what other crap they are doing that is not so obvious. If you are deadest in crossfit than find another "box"

This is good information. I should have been a little more specific in my reply earlier. I said that I didn't see it as a problem but I wasn't thinking of it in terms of being timed and all of that. I was just thinking of the weight and number of reps

So I went to crossfit on Sunday and the strength workout was:

16 Minute EMOM(Every minute on the minute - this means you do your reps, then rest for the remainder of the minute. Deadlift generally took 15 sec for 3 reps so I got a 45 sec break.)

Odd: 3 Deadlifts (Choose a weight that’s heavy enough but can touch-n-go)
Even: 7-3 Strict Pullups (scale a rep count if you fail)

I used 315lbs for deadlifts, so I did a total of 3 x 8 = 24 reps that day. My max is around 430.

=====

Now for tomorrow's workout, it is:

- Conditioning -

“Stanely-CrossFit 626 Hero WOD”

50 Deadlifts (BW-bodyweight)
50 Incline Pushups (24/20 “)
50 Box Jumps (24/20 “)
1.6 km (1 mile) Run

My bodyweight is 115kgish.

Normally I can take breaks and finish the 50, but I've never done deadlifts(with this much volume) more than once a week before.

Bad idea?

When I read bodyweight I understand doing just the motion without an added weight. If this is lifting the equivalent of your bodyweight on the bar, that is the different story. That would be way too much deadlifts in two days.

^^this is how I read it too. But regardless, the whole thing makes no sense. There is no goal in cross fit except to do the exercises, so I suppose that's why there is no rhyme or reason as to what is Rxed.

Yeah man, I agree. I mean, I like CrossFit actually, but when you're doing heavy, techical lifts for reps within time, that's just rediculous.

Man most people have to reset so they maintain form, and you're repping like crazy to get in under time. No doubt you can do it, and props man 3 plates is a goal for me still, but you have GOT to use your head even if CrossFit allows for it.

However much you hurt yourself on would be too much.

but it's crossfit, so i think the saying is

"however much you hurt yourself on would be the right amount"

What the #-%($&?!?!

Why would you do this? What's the point? Is it just cool, or something? Faster is better? More is better? More and faster is best?

This is only a good idea if your goal is to look awesome to the bignorant bros at the gym (and an idiot to the people who know what they're doing).


(Bignorant was a typo, but I kinda like it so I'll leave it.)
