Thanks for the replies guys. I cant deadlift because I train at home and have no access to a barbell and weights. I train with gymnastic rings and Kettlebells. Apart from doing swings for conditioning, I have no other way of training a hip hinge movement and was thinking about buying a hyperextension bench to do so. I dont want to buy a barbell and plates just for deadlifts as I have no where to store them.
Sandbags and macesI never deadlift. It’s not that great a back builder, and it’s not that great a hamstring builder. And it’s very taxing/recovery intensive.
It’s a great strength builder though, and it’s something I’d tend to include for most.
But it’s certainly not a requirement unless you powerlift/strongman.

as an aside this fella did a 700lb trapbar deadlift after several months off from deadlifts and credits his pull-up, lunge routine.

Need to get my ass back in gear.
I was making good progress strength training at home, then split a bone in my finger playing rugby that needed screwing back together.
7 weeks on I feel like I could finally lift something again, though not much.
I'm getting fat too, lack of rugby training has seen to that. No excuse for not going for a run though. Xmas laziness that one

Are you on reddit BWF?There is a guy on there who has been putting a lot of effort into figuring out body weight leg training, his name escapes me right now - Raider something I think.
edit: I am off skiing tomorrow for a few days and then back into the gym next week, possibly Tuesday (the day I land) or perhaps Wednesday if I have too much to sort out on Tuesday. At the moment I feel pretty gross after a week of Christmas excess, I am looking forward to getting back into the gym.

Watched the wsm heat last night, it had a fella who had entered a local tourny, won his place in this qualifier and then won that!
I do love the clips of the old guys from the 70s/80s when it was a big sport.
Today was a parkrun, after gymming it everyday since my last parkrun, felt good, though legs are beat up with all the squats/running/lunges

Fantastic core strength and overall strong 'feel' exercise, very functional exercise also, great for grappling, lifting ANYTHING. I have always said if you can only do one exercise, deadlift. I disagree about it not being a good 'building' exercise, builds a deep, strong back front to back...this may depend on existing genetics though, and to be fair, you are in far better Nick than I ever was!!It’s a great strength builder though, and it’s something I’d tend to include for most.

Last time I deadlifted? About 6 months ago!!

For anyone who has lower back issues and may also be working in a fairly sedentary job e.g: desk based what type of exercises/training you have done that helps to remediate the pain? I need to start squatting again (stopped many years back) but my hip flexibility is v.poor so will take some time to get there.

Straight Leg Deadlifts are a godsend for me, feel the pain/tightness vanish they are that good. Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
