Deadlifts

sxt

What would happen if the only excercise i did was deadlifts for 3 months twice a day? 3* 5 heavy , 1*20 light


Is this the correct form,I have picked these out as working for me,( all from reading different guidelines online ) is the in bold the most important to prevent injury?

shouders back +chest out +head facing straight ahead at all times
bend down with shins almost touching bar, knees over bar
keep bar close to body
push feet into the ground when pulling
clench buttocks when rising
when lowering , keep hips back

I did a heavy lift in my my bed room the two weeks ago, and became over concious of not letting it down with a heavy bang that I lost all form , bent my back, was looking down at the ground, and felt a sudden sharp stinging pain in my lower back as a result. Bad mistake I know, No injury luckily.

I tried the same weight again two weeks later using above form guidelines and felt perfect.


Does anyone have any form guides that they stick to religiously?

Brian?

I'd imagine your lower back would be fubared after a few weeks if not sooner.

Even if it wasn't I don't see the point.

heavy deadlifting twice a DAY? jesus christ, you're supposed to go heavy twice a week at most. i don't see why you'd want to do that. your back will be destroyed and highly susceptible to injury as the days roll by.

you may also literally fry your CNS.

You'd be in a wheel chair after like two weeks. :pac:

Don't listen to these softies. If you do that for 3 months you'll be deadlifting micras over walls. God speed

hello everyone, I am a firm believer in holistic medicine and the power of yoga and it is my personal belief that one can attain strength and health through these two things

my son, however, does not think similarly. he is on a work-out program called "starting lifts" that is extremely dangerous: they use a barbell with very heavy weights and then do excercises that can destroy the back and knees (for example, one he calls the deathlift)

well, I am unable to convince him to stop this crazy program. my problem is I caught him taking the steroid "creatine" yesterday after his work-out. I snatched the container away from him and told his father later that evening, who agreed with me that we had to stage an intervention. I honestly do not know what I should do next. does he have to be sent to a rehabilitation center? I am not familiar with steroids and how abusers make recovery.

thank you very much,

In all seriousness though OP you won't actually be able to train like that for a full 3 months. You will get run down and skip a workout or get so run down that you actually become ill. I don't know if there's any science to back it up but if I used to train the whole time and didn't take many rest days because I didn't feel I was overtraining as I was making good progress. After like ~3 weeks I'd become ill with some crap without fail and repeat this process until I started incorporating rest days. I know training is actually meant to help your immune system but I genuinely believe that if you overtrain you will compromise your immune system. Someone link me to something scientific to back up my point so I look like I am smart. If there's no science to back it up then shut up you're wrong because it's true.
