Number of reps for deadlifts?
Posted on 5/28/20 at 1:46 pm
Posted on 5/28/20 at 1:46 pm
I primarily stay with 5 or less on deadlifts because I usually am going heavy and don’t want to hurt myself or pass out. However It occurred to me that maybe I’m missing some hypertrophic opportunities by not adding more reps.
Thoughts?
If you were to stay in the 8-12 rep range would you lower the weight in the eccentric phase or just drop it and then pick up again for next rep?
Thanks for everyone who contributed on this board. Very motivating and informative!!!

I stay below 6 even on the 5/3/1 Max Reps.
It's hard for me to stay tight and keep focus after 6 on deads.

I usually go heavy and lower than 8 but I do mix it up quite often.
Our workout on Tuesday was
16 rounds
20 sec deadlifts 135#
10 sec break
20 sec sit-ups
10 sec break
I ended up doing 203 reps on deadlift total, my back is still feeling it haha

i dont ever think you should just drop the weight, if its not something you can control for the reps you are going for then you shouldnt be lifting it

I’m a 3-5 rep guy on deadlifts. It’s a power lifting exercise. I realized that I was just wearing myself out on the Boring But Big sets of 10 with lighter weight.
If I’m going to hypertrophy for my back, pull ups and rows will do that for me.

There's eccentric and concentric parts to a lift. Carrying your logic to other lifts whats the point of rack pulls or pin squats, which one can typically lift more than the full lift.
Should every Joe Blow be dropping every deadlift at the top, no, but controlling a heavy deadlift down takes a lot of energy. Dropping at the top of the lift on a heavy set of three is completely fine.

I typically go between 6-8 reps. I keep that same range of reps for most of the main lifts: bench, squat, deadlift, shoulder press, pull ups. Normally 5 sets of each. Then for secondary lifts I'll go 8-10 reps for 4 or 5 sets depending on how I'm feeling and how much time I have.

You're going to get a lot of differing opinions on this. For me, I wouldn't use the deadlift for hypertrophy. It's a strength movement, and I treat it as such. Personally I really don't go beyond one set of five reps, especially if I'm going heavy.

i stay within 1 and 12 most of the time.

I’m not sure about reps but I’ve always heard it’s one lift that shouldn’t be done more than once a week especially if going heavy. It becomes counterproductive due to it being so taxing on the CNS.

If you're the type of person that drops heavy deadlifts at the top, then you shouldn't be heavy deadlifting.

Depends on RPE. Also if it’s close to 1RM then should be done last lifting day of week.

Ok, what about this guy? Hint:he has the deadlift world record.

I never go over 5 bc my form breaks from fatigue. I don't see it as necessary for hypertophy, either.
8-12 isn't magic, especially with heavy multi-joint movements.

He clearly lets the bar go when it gets to his shins, and has control of it on the way down. You didn't do a good job of trying to prove your point. You're also not allowed to drop the bar in competition, you have to control of it on the way down.

Great info! Thanks everyone!!!

I only one rep maxed a deadlift two years ago or so and now that I’m older with more aches and pains even at just 30, I’m not a fan of risking that shite anymore. No purpose for me. Low as I go is 5. High as I go is probably 10-12 depending what phase of the program I’m in calls for.

frick no he doesn’t. If Usain Bolt ran the 100m in his backyard would that count as the world record? The answer is no.
Shaw and Oberst both are on the record saying it’s a good demonstration of strength but is in no way the world record.

I stick to 5-8 typically.
If going for hypertrophy then 8-12 is fine.

True deads, never more than 3
RDL’s, plenty
