TweetI deadlift pretty often, but rarely go SUPER heavy. I'll occasionally get in the the 4-5 rep range, but almost never go all the way to a single one rep pull. I'm doing them for the density and thickness and for me I get that best with a little lighter weight and higher volume. I do notice as I've gotten older, the less "sloppy" I can allow myself to be during a lift. Form is paramount with deads.

i have started doing muscle rounds with mine for safety. you take a weight you can do for 15 reps with perfect form. then you do 6 sets of 4 with it. you do a set wait 10 sec and then do another until you have all 6 sets done. great and safe technique
