True that, just add muscle as you cut fat. Win/Win

Re: wtf are deadlifts




This is a deadlift. You can see why it would be very easy to hurt your back, because it's easy to use your back to lift the weight instead of your legs.

Start with maybe 95 pounds (a 25lbs plate on each side of a standard 45lbs bar) and just work on lifting it properly. You should feel your lower back stretch but the force should be generated from your legs.

Take it SLOW. Unlike a lot of other lifts your reps for deadlift don't need to be super explosive. Once you get the weight all the way up, don't lean back even though naturally you'll want to. You can roll your shoulders a little bit (kind of shrug the weight) but you mostly want your back straight (like in the photo).

So just do as many as I can with low weight or build up to more weight but fewer lifts

Working out is for people who have no self esteem. Or fat people.

Re: wtf are deadlifts

As far as reps, I'd do 3 sets of 8-10

Like most lifts eventually you'll want your last rep of your last set to be muscle failure. You shouldn't be able to do any more. But that's much further down the road. For now just 8-10 reps, 3 sets, low weight and work on form.

When you lift it up you basically want to roll it along your shins and up your thighs. Not physically (that would hurt going over the knees) but kind of practicing like that or getting it very close will help your form, it'll keep everything tight.

Re: wtf are deadlifts

I do squats every day, probably my favorite lift. Plus there are so many variations that work different parts that you can technically do something new each day of the week.

If you do squats every day youre either over training or not training hard enough
