wow back+triceps combination is killer mate. i do deadlift as my final exercise because its impossible to train any muscles after deadlift
I'm at 1,7 x bw deadlift working weight and deadlift is of course the first exercise?! And I do like at least 5-6 other exercises (including overheadpress, chin-ups with additional weight and some other heavy shit) after that.
You mirin brah??
Welp, didn't know that. Guess I'm doing romanians then. My program originally says that I should be doing stiff-legged but I'm having a hard time stretching all the way down with arms + since it's also a grip exercise, I prefer romanians.
That being said, I also loved doing normal deadlifts, but with weight increases it plateaued (what a word) because of my shit grip.
Yeah, I really didn't know the exact difference between the deadlift variations until I spent like 4 hours ONLY on reading about the deadlift and watching british, american and german powerlifting and bodybuilding videos haha.
There even is a minority that believes stiff legged deadlift and romanian is the same exercise and some that even believe you never set the weight down on the floor after each rep on every deadlift exercise. But those people are simply wrong. The consensus is what I said.
For grip strenght: Try the mixed grip, it works! I never dared to try it for a long time because of stories about a torn bicep on the supinated hand/arm. But that's bullshit. Only with heavy ass weights (like from 200 kg +,) not enough flexibility and not warming up enough.
I used straps from like 130 kg, because I couldn't handle them with normal double overhand grip, but my back was WAY stronger (you feel and know that with some experience). So I used straps until 160 kg. And then some guy said: Use the mixed grip bro. I thought: Oh god, you will fail so hard to move the weight any cm up without straps now. And then, it felt like nothing using the mixed grip. 160 kg felt like about 100 kg with the mixed grip.
I was doing normal deadlifts for a pretty long time now, and I start to do another bodybuilding bulking routine again from this week on, so I will do heavy ass powerlifitng style squats (low bar) but stiff legged deadlift (which comes with alot less weight naturally then normal deadlift) to give my tormented lower back some rest.
Conventional deadlift is one of my favorite exercises, but if you don't need strenght that goes beyond a very good basic strenght, so to say, if you are a bodybuilder or just want to build muscle, there is no need to always do conventional deadlifts. It's THE exercise for strenght, but for sure not THE exercise for building (alot of) muscle mass.
