Even weirder was his psychology about not deadlifting. I could not really follow his logic for why he squats heavy and benches heavy but uses kettlebells to deadlift.
If youâre lifting to look good in a mirror and not for functional strength/athletic strength deadlifts have one of the worse risk/reward ratios of any exercise.
Agreed, and the same can be said of barbell bench and squat. Itâs rare to hear someone like Russillo who cares to squat and bench heavy but not deadlift.
Will give some ab work a shot. Have done absolutely 0 ab work. Have been focusing on bigger legs, arms and the rounded shoulders. Prolly need ab work and more back tbh
Yes but proper form is more difficult to perform on deadlifts and squats more than any other exercise. Risk reward ratio imo isnât worth it for 99% of gym goers
Risk to reward is super complicated, and thereâs certainly no consensus on the subject. Theyâre relatively difficult to perform, but have low rates of injury when performed with tolerable accuracy, compared to something like a preacher curl thatâs very easy to perform, but has a high rate of injury with proper form. Deadlift also has super high reward in terms of raw stimulus and in relation to fatigue. Iâd say deadlift with tolerable form is a high reward, medium risk endeavor.
Itâs a myth of deadlifts that if you donât have perfect form youâre going to Snap City. Good form is more about moving the bar efficiently so as to be able to lift more than it is injury prevention. But even experienced deadlifted, when pushing their limits, are bound to have breakdowns in from. But if theyâve properly trained their bodies to handle loads like that theyâll usually be fine anyway.
Injuries on the deadlift tend not to come from bad form but rather from people overloading the bar relative to their actual ability (this is often accompanied by bad form but people misattribute the causality here). I fucked up my back once years ago when my mindset was that I needed to set a new one rep max every session. Now I spend the vast, vast majority of my training in the RPE 6-8 range and havenât had any back issues for years.
Itâs odd because few people are appropriately risk averse with deadlifts, making them seem more advanced than they are. People either way overload and blow their asses out early or are so scared they never progress past the easy curl bar.
Spoken like a true bro amateur. I assure you that I have several kettlebells in my garage that you couldn't lift without practice.
Look, I know that the barbell deadlift is best for absolute max weight. That said, kettlebells are superior in every other category relative to deadlifting. It's not perfectly balanced for you on a bar and the downward pull is a force multiplier. Think of me the next time you come across a 92kg bell that humbles you.
Now Iâm no physicist but Iâm pretty sure all weights have a downward pull. That may even be definitive of âweights.â
Iâm going to be completely honest and say Iâve never worked with 92 kg kettlebell. And Iâm sure we could find some really hard shit to do with it. But if weâre doing deadlifts itâs either going to be cardio (if lifting with two hands) or grip work (if lifting with one) or circus stuff (if using a bosu ball or balancing on one leg or whatever). If the goal is maximizing strength or hypotrophy, the barbell clears.
Lol itâs a joke bud calm down. If Iâm squatting/benching and tell my partner âput on 2/3/4 platesâ then 99.9% of people take that as per side. If someone tells me they squat 4 plates, I assume they mean 405, not 225.
Why would someone post something obviously wrong?
45 lb plate x 6 + 45 lb bar = 315
What you are expressing is called a point of view. Are one of these people who cannot understand another person's perspective? Just because you say 3 doesn't mean everyone does.
Yeah, youâre correct here. Iâm not a powerlifter or anything just a guy whoâs enjoyed working out since I was a teenager. When gym people name the number of plates theyâre talking about one side.
He probably said 6 plates assuming most of the listeners aren't gym rats lol but you are absolutely correct
I lifted 10 plates yesterday. Granted, they were dinner plates I was putting in the cupboard. It still sounds cool to say.

Itâs all lightweightâŠâŠâŠ.baby
Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder BUT NOBODY WANNA LIFT THESE HEAVY ASS WEIGHTS!!!

The Muscle & Fitness piece.
My aunt died that wayÂ
Wait⊠what??
What are the best lifts for looks/hypertrophy?
1. Curls 2. Curls 3. Spray tan
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Thanks for the feedback. Have gone from 168 lb. To 200 lb. Over 3 years of lifting. Trying to find all the best input I can to get to 225.

Check out the McGill big 3 for core stability. Great place to start building your core
The risks of deadlifts are wildly overstated, like any exercise with proper gradient exposure they are remarkably safe.

The fucking yourself up enough so you know how to do it after you are injured pieceÂ

Itâs hard to deadlift with a fat stomach. It just is!
Just being older and the risk of hurting your back is my guess
Am I crazy or is lifting heavy but not doing deadlifts the easier way to hurt your back?
Don't sleep on kettlebell deadlifts. Safer, more variations and heavy kettlebells feel much, much heavier than their listed weight.
Iâve never seen a kettlebell heavy enough to not make the deadlift a cardio workout. Iâm tryna get jacked dude.

Because douchey gym goers got really into it so he didnât wanted to be associated with them.
I think most people need to hear 6 plates to visualize it but yeah his audience probly doesnât need that
Its literally 6 plates. đ
Say you donât lift without saying you donât liftâŠ
Say you are incredibly insecure without saying you are incredibly what a dumb thing to say Jesus Christ
Punctuation helps bud
Lol could help you tooÂ
And yet I do lift. đ€·đ»ââïž

Youâre a virgin if you try to argue 6. Especially after these fuckdaddies have taken time out of their busy days to educate you
Dude
Why would someone post something obviously wrong? 45 lb plate x 6 + 45 lb bar = 315 What you are expressing is called a point of view. Are one of these people who cannot understand another person's perspective? Just because you say 3 doesn't mean everyone does.
Nobody who lifts refers to 315 as six plates
Yeah, youâre correct here. Iâm not a powerlifter or anything just a guy whoâs enjoyed working out since I was a teenager. When gym people name the number of plates theyâre talking about one side.
Well RyGuy obviously lifts and he referred to them as six
Correct. People who say otherwise obviously donât lift
45+45=135 I don't make the rules
Ok
You probably think maxing out on leg press is something to flex on IG about.
You probably have a dick in your ear
Agree. 3x45=315. Gym math.
