I'm getting to where I dread squats. It's partly because I do them every freakin time and partly because I'm also running three times a week so my legs aren't getting much recovery time. I'm still upping them five pounds each workout so I'm not going to change anything yet.0

I am in love with deadlifts!!! But for some reason I cant keep my right leg from wanting to shake out from underneath me when I am fully extended.
Deadlifts, squats, and lunges....recipe for total badassery!0 -
Love them! I have back problems too, but so far, so good.0

Agree with the calm after the lift comment. Just finished my workout which included DL. Set a new PR which always feels nice.0

Deadlifts are pointless do something more important like squats. you lift with your legs anyway!0

I also love deadlifts!0

Nothing like them to leave you dizy and the gym spinning! I am working my way back up since surgery, hit 3 sets of 12 @ 185 2 hours ago, long way from the 305 I used to DL! Through patience and consistency we will both get there0

Squats focus on your quads, while deadlifts focus on the hamstrings. Squats works a lot on your core stability and balance where deadlifts work on low back strength as well as explosiveness. They combined are a fantastic leg/core workout! Don't neglect either!0 -
Absolutely!! just got to 215# with strong lifts, can't wait to see where Ill go before I have to deload0

Dead lifts are my favorite exercise, squats is a close second. But dead lifts take the crown because I feel like a primal beast during, and afterwards my whole body has this amazing calmness to it. My PR is 350lbs(160Kg)
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.0 -

What about mixed grip mate? I bet you can pick up 300+ with mixed grip no problem....0 -

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.0 -

lol why squat when you can just tense up your legs and shake the shake weight0 -
My favorite 5x5 day is dead day, I get to squat like a beast and deadlift like an animal, makes me feel very grrr-ific.0

I wish that I could do deadlifts
I have scoliosis and I just can't, the pain gets too much. Plus I legit can't make my back straight because of it.
I also can't do normal barbell squats but now do them with the barbell over my chest0 -
<<<<<<<<<<<LOVE me some deadlifts!!! I lifted my personal best today, a little over my own body weight.0

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 .0
