2 questions- Deadlifts rep range

mike456 · 05-24-2006, 08:49 AM

Ill be doing 4 sets of Deadlifts on leg day, my only goal is strength I do not care about size- how many reps should I be doing for deads??

What main muscles would be used, if you are doing a stiff-arm pull down to your sides- kind of the opposite of a lateral raise, are the lats hit hard in this movement?

Well, assuming that you have been lifting long enough, you have accumulated a decent amount of muscle mass, your connective tissue strength is up to par (Related to training age and proper acclimation), and you are confident on your form, 1-5 repetitions is primarily for strength gains.

Also, lateral lat pulldowns are a great way to hit the lats.
