00:00:00.000 Yeah.
00:00:30.000 Greetings, my esteemed Laddingtons.
00:00:47.580 This is a quick video regarding deadlifts.
00:00:50.460 Now, before I begin to elaborate on the topic at hand,
00:00:53.360 I have a glorious announcement.
00:00:55.300 We have on the Legio Gloria page now, lifting belts.
00:01:00.000 Powerlifting belts, so absolutely clean, the best in the world.
00:01:06.760 Now, this is the model I have had since 2014.
00:01:10.080 My belt is still good as new, and that is the belt you've seen in basically all of my training videos
00:01:15.980 where I have done powerlifting.
00:01:17.640 So if you want a lifetime investment, if you do powerlifting, then definitely get one of those.
00:01:24.080 If you don't do powerlifting, then you don't really need a belt,
00:01:27.860 but it's for the heavy squats and deadlifts.
00:01:31.040 Now, if you don't do those exercises, you don't need a belt,
00:01:34.220 but if you do lift heavy, it can be good.
00:01:37.260 So you can watch my training videos to see which exercises do I use the belt in,
00:01:43.180 and that's, yeah, how you can use them as well.
00:01:46.140 Now, anyway, on to the topic at hand.
00:01:49.500 Why only deadlift once a week?
00:01:51.640 Now, of course, you can deadlift more often if you want,
00:01:54.260 but in a recent schedule I wrote the Hero Titan class hypertrophy plan,
00:01:58.820 I only had it once a week, even though I say that as a natural,
00:02:03.660 meaning that you don't take steroids, you should train each muscle group twice a week.
00:02:08.520 But there's a difference between doing deadlifts and hitting those particular muscles.
00:02:14.120 Now, if you do squats often, that will have a great carryover effect on the deadlifts.
00:02:20.040 So I have gone in periods where I have only done squats, no deadlifts,
00:02:24.240 and yet my deadlift has increased.
00:02:27.380 I did this going up to my first powerlifting meet that I partook in in 2014.
00:02:35.220 The video is still up, you can search for it,
00:02:36.960 the golden one, powerlifting, and then you will get to it.
00:02:40.260 So I got a PR in the deadlift there,
00:02:44.120 and, yeah, before that I only did squats, basically.
00:02:47.700 So what you do is when you train a lot of squats
00:02:49.900 and you do train rows and complementary exercises several times a week,
00:02:54.960 you will also strengthen your deadlift.
00:02:57.280 And then only doing deadlifts once a week,
00:03:00.440 it will still stimulate the movement pattern without overly taxing your body.
00:03:06.500 Then, of course, if you eat well and you rest well
00:03:09.400 and you want to focus on the deadlift,
00:03:12.600 yeah, you can do it more often,
00:03:14.280 but you can still make great gains specifically on the deadlift,
00:03:18.480 even only doing it once a week.
00:03:21.360 But there is a danger in doing it too often
00:03:23.640 because it's so taxing on the body,
00:03:25.440 especially if you do a lot of other things.
00:03:28.040 So anyway, long story short,
00:03:29.680 all of us, of course, we want a big deadlift.
00:03:32.180 I suppose all men want a big deadlift, 1.00
00:03:35.940 come a little natural, normal.
00:03:37.600 Now, you can also get it via training other things.
00:03:42.440 So just as perhaps you want big arms,
00:03:45.100 you don't only need to do biceps curls to get big arms. 0.92
00:03:48.760 You can also do chins and rows and everything that hits the arms.
00:03:54.680 You know, doing a lot of triceps work will also increase the size of your arms.
00:03:59.060 So that is at least my point here.
00:04:03.040 So if you follow such a schedule
00:04:04.520 or if you go on Russian squat routine,
00:04:07.940 which I did a lot of back in the day,
00:04:09.800 if you're an OG subscriber, you'll know this,
00:04:12.780 then, yeah, it will have a good carryover effect to the deadlift as well.
00:04:18.520 So anyway, that was my wisdom for the day.
00:04:21.640 I hope everyone's training is going well.
00:04:24.120 I hope everyone will get into a great shape for summer
00:04:29.280 so we can all post physique.
00:04:31.320 And thank you to everyone who has committed to the Hero Titan class hypertrophy plan.
00:04:38.660 No, thank you for watching.
00:04:39.940 XXO, boom!
00:04:54.120 Thank you.
00:04:55.760 Thank you.
