    I highly suggest stiff leg deadlifts. They are good for woman and get get you use to a something very similiar to a deadlift.
    Start with stiff legs and then cross over to traditional deadlift. IMO

    Why?

    There better be a good reason why I should train any differently because I lack a penis. I have no problem bucking a 130 pound bale of hay, why should I be modifying my weights?

    I'm glad I wasn't the only one who laughed at this dumb comment

    I thought it was so "bro" that it wasn't even worth a comment. FFS . . .

    F - 5'6" 150lbs - 95 lbs for 3 x10

    Just started NROLW a couple weeks ago, so buidling up. Need to get some chalk because my grip was slipping a bit this morning.

    Look above, try a mixed grip. Make sure that you're gym allows chalk (many don't). I bought those grip flexers (with the springs) to help me work on my grip strength.

    5'8"/female/160# 1RM 320#

    Just keep going and keep working it. Don't be afraid to load up more weight and challenge yourself BUT always keep good form.

    I use a mixed grip, left hand facing out.

    You are my hero.....I'm just saying.....

    Thanks, I'll look into that. I workout at home so don't have to worry about that, just have to worry about my kids getting into it! :laugh:

    Haven't tried in a few weeks, but I am F/28 and I deadlift 115lbs, which is around my body weight, for 3 sets of about 6-8 reps...

    Not sure what my 1RM is. My grip is pretty weak though :(

    Love the deadlift!! :D

    I highly suggest stiff leg deadlifts. They are good for woman and get get you use to a something very similiar to a deadlift.
    Start with stiff legs and then cross over to traditional deadlift. IMO

    Why?

    ETA: I'm 5'6"/137 and my previous 1RM was 175 - but I started SL so I'm back down to 80 (and building)

    Because we are weak little things and we could hurt ourself. Know your place woman!!!!:angry::angry: :angry:

    Sir
    I have a nice, stiff leg I'd like to share with you and your opinion.


    Ladies
    if you want to deadlift, I suggest you deadlift, because deadlifting will get you used to deadlifting.

    My 1 max Deadlift up to date (as of yesterday actually!) is 235lb =) I plan on increasing 10lb in 2-3 weeks!

    When I do reps of 10-15 I usually do 165-175ish.

    Deadlifts are my fave!!

    Agreed about the mixed group! it might make a huge difference. I utilize it!

    I did Romanian Deadlifts this morning. I weigh 135lbs, 5'4", Female. My highest RDL was 115#, 5 reps. Last time I did regular deadlifts, I think it was 135lbs 5 reps. I think I could do more, but even with a mixed grip I can't keep my grip. Have to work on my forearms!:smile:

    well i don't know about you, but sometimes my fallopian tubes get in the way when i bend over.

    seriously... i read somewhere that wearing gloves could also get in the way of a good grip when you're doing deadlifts. i'm doing them again on sunday so i'll try a combo of no gloves, hook grip, mixed grip etc. hopefully this time i wont have as much forearm paim the next day
