Let's talk about deadlifts

I enjoy deadlifts but progress is slow - haven't even hit 100kg yet. Still a bigger fan of bench press.1

Hex/trap bar dl's for me. Conventional and sumo leaves my body saying "Stop that!"0

Maybe tmi but I fart a lot when I deadlift. So I have to go right in the corner away from the bros. Plus I grunt realllly loudly. And I’m mostly the only woman in the gym.3

If you haven't pooped your pants a little, have you even deadlifted?
(I'm kidding, of course, but I am careful to go to the bathroom before heavy deadlifts because the valsalva maneuver under the stress of a heavy pull can squeeze out whatever is in you)2 -

Could just be how you handle it.
Shouting "Yeah! This is MY platform!!!"
...and mark your territory.5 -

Grunting really does help if you're at 9.5+ RPE, IDC what anyone says.0 -

I grunt when I get out of a chair. I ain't about to apologize for grunting when deadlifting 2.5x bodyweight.1 -

Well I’m rubbish at estimating RPE then cos I’m supposed to deadlift sets of 3 to 5 at RPE 8. If farting is an RPE 9 I’m training too hard then!!0 -

Rule number one of deadlifts...go to the bathroom first, just in case...even if you don't think you have to.4 -

I've preached this for years.1 -
BIG fan of dead lift. My PB is 100 kg. Not much but when you consider that I have problems with my back, then it's okay. YES I am VERY aware of doing them right. Therefore, I dare well, with bad back.0

When I was 16 I crushed my L4 and L5 with improper form. For many years after that I avoided all back lifting. I was as lazy as possible avoiding any and all non-essential physical labor. My back never really got better, I was just putting off the next spasm or attack. After a long while I visited a specialist who told me its time to start lifting again, time to get off my tuccus. I started training with deadlifts. I haven't had a spasm or attack since. Of course I balance with proper core exercises. Bottom line: For me, deadlifts saved my back in the long run and saved me from a life of back problems. Your results may vary.0

My best is 630 at somewhere around 250 lbs fueled by caffeine, nose tork, and swedish fish. My legs were not happy with me that evening nor the next day.0

High rep deadlifts anyone?0

How about multiple sets of high (5+) reps?0

My deadlift programming is actually stupid simple, I do a warm up set of 5 at 315, 1 rep at 405, and then a PR attempt (either 1RM or 3RM). 4th set is usually just a 500 pull and hold.
On leg day I do farmers carrys with handles so those are basically trap bar rack pulls. I do a deadlift and hold for 15 seconds at the end. If I'm deloading the carrys are 450 (total, 225 per hand) otherwise I usually just try to add 1lb per hand, currently that is 258lbs per handle. I do the walks in sets of 4.0
