Thread: When do you guys and girls deadlift and ....

*cough* If only we had that choice in my gym ...

I usually have to pinch an olympic bar from the bench press when I want to deadlift ...

Lucky b* ...

I just use a straight bar.

Same here preacher, I'd like to try that shrug bar but looks like I'll have to stick with my staight bar for now.

using an olympic bar is the only way to get "all" the benefits out of dead lifting...

Straight bar. They have a set with several different weights...starting with 20 pounds going up to about 100 or so.

I usually deadlift when I am at the gym, and the type of bar I like is one with a lot of hot women in it.

That picture looks like w8s sex implements.

I don't have a set day for deadlifts, I do stiff leg for hams, and plain for back. I only have a straight bar to use also.

I do deadlifts as my first exercise on back day and I use an Olympic bar. It seems as if using bar B in the photo would make the lift easier to do.

I agree with LAM....straight bar is the king.

Yes, it does. Standing in the center of that bar gives you a more natural lift. But if you're used to using a straight bar, you're trained in that movement, I wouldn't recommend using the shrug bar with heavy weight right off the bat.

I only do the stiffies and so they are on leg day.

Just use a regular old straight bar for them. Never even considered on of the others. Guess I need to experiment more.

Actually....D is a good sex implement

DB deads can be subbed for shrug bar deads.

They make you use more quads than conventional OL bar deads though.

I'm doing regular Deadlifts at the moment every back day, trying to keep the weight increasing every week or failing that a rep or two increase.

Only got an Olympic Bar, what I call a stubby and an EZ at my gym so Olympic it is
