High Reps Deadlifts

Bigger Stronger Leaner

Yeah I know, this subject has already been talked…but not the way present it.

As many of you guys know, when you deadlift, usually two thing fail first, in terms of muscle.
Grip(the ability to hold the bar) and erectors(the strength to maintain a flat back).

Now lets talk about straps.
Straps can help decreasing the neural demand on exercises that requiere lots of gripping strength.

Deadlift is known as one of the most if not “the most” fearful lift for fatiguing the SNC.
Ive read lots of guys saying deadlift its not a good mass builder.
One argument is there isnt enough time under tension as in squats(you always have the bar on you) because you usually do low reps and putting the bar on the floor breaks constant tension.

So now high reps deadlifts comes in play.

Try this.
Its hard but give it a try.

Deadlift for 10-20 reps. Im not joking, but do it with straps, to decrease the SNC fatigue.
Im sure, you are likely to gain “some”(if u know what I mean) back size(whole trap, lats, erectors), hamstrings, glutes, bla bla bla…

Give it a try…

I did it last week, and let me tell you this, maybe its not a valid argument for some, but when I woke up the next morning, all the muscles above mentioned were dead “literally”.

Heavy weight = High reps? Sure!

So this way its a manner to deadlift, high reps, decreasing SNC fatigue and increasing TUT…

wtf is SNC?

anyone trying this be careful…when i training with the Big beyond belief program i tried to incorporate deadlifts into the program using the suggest set/rep scheme (working up to a top set of 13-15, 10-12, or 8-10) then reducing the weight and resting 90-120 seconds and try to hit the same rep range with 10-20 percent less weight on the bar. eventually one day after setting the bar down i got a terrible headache that caused me to fall over…for 8 weeks i had terrible headaches and couldnt lift, almost had to drop out of school…man it sucked…

If someone wants to try some high rep deads, i suggest working up to a heavy set of 3 to 6 reps…then do ONE back off set of 10-20 reps. make sure to stop one rep short of failure…

I used to do this after a heavy session of deadlifts. I end with trying to do 20 reps of 315lb deadlifts and usually end up hitting around 12-15. As I reach failure point, the pain coming from glute is insane.

I think he means CNS (Central Nervous System). Using straps and taking the grip out of the equation will not have any impact on how deadlifts burn out the CNS. I know everyone is different, but I have had better luck with lower reps and higher weight. Even when I throw speed reps in at the end of a session, I keep the weight relatively light and the reps in the mid-range (8-15). High rep deadlifts with a substantial weight will greatly increase risk of injury.

sadiv deadlifts

google it

I only train deadlifts as high rep, touch and go, with straps. I think it has great carryover to maximal strength compared to dead stop, low rep work. I’ve also noticed an increase in mass, but I can’t speak about bodybuilding.

No worries…I too will incorporate a day that is high rep once or twice a month. 6 sets of 225 for 15-20 is a completely different kinda sore.
