Deadlifts, at the beginning or end of your routine ?

Deadlifts, at the beginning or end of your routine ?

 

[Jungnaut]

Right at the very end. I should not be able to do any other exercise once my deadlifts are over.

Big muscles first, small muscles last

 

[Felixflex]

deadlifts first, its the only big lift that I actually look forward to doing.

 

[Bazza20]

Biggest lift first

 

[Camo1902]

First for me

depends, sometimes i do it after my squat, if i haven't done it for a while, it might be the only lift i do.

 

[Neddysmith]

Yeah usually do the biggest lifts first...

 

[Timeah]

Always first. Heaviest most intense first.

Why in hell would you do it last?

What about with full body workouts, where would you fit them in?

 

[Shrek]

Depends on your goals. I don't always do them first. I will overhead press first then deadlift. Bit hard to OHP when your lower back is fried.

Agreed, same with squats

With full body I always did them first.

 

[Jungnaut]

Wow, overall consensus is first aye? I've tried doing DL that once. Then I had a very hard time doing presses and squats afterwards.

 

[Timeah]

Squattng and deadlifting in the same session never goes well lol.

If I was to go back to full body, id run squat on day 1, dl on day 2 and squat on day 3.

Squat/bench/row
Dead/press/chins
Front squat/dips/db row

Or similar. Spread that shit out.

Deadlifting deserves a day on its own

 

[Semillon]

I only ever deadlift on a day I also squat (since I squat every session), so naturally deadlifts are last.

Do you go max effort on both lifts?

Have tried that in the past but the body broke down pretty quickly. Its the sole reason I stopped Starting Strength. When the weights got heavy doing both on the one day totally drilled me.
