    I have flat feet that over pronates and is known to cause problems when running (sore knees), that is why I have custom insoles for shoes designed to correct this problem.

    Can deadlifts with mixed grip cause shoulder/bicep problems?

    I've been pondering if deadlifts were the cause of my shoulder problems, I've been doing trap bar deadlifts lately and switched back to normal deadlifts and noticed my right shoulder (i used a mix grip, right had supinated) was really sore. Would it be better to use a double overhand grip and...

    Trap bar for deadlifts

    I'm thinking of starting trap bar deadlifts in place of regular dl. I've been told that my poor flexibility inhibits me on regular dl. I started reading something about how the trap bar is better for people in that situation, so I thought it may be better to use that than stuff around for...

    Why do you think the Starting Strength program only does 1x working set of deadlifts?

    Is it because they are so bad ass? I really have no idea. Does anyone know?

    Deadlifts in the gym

    I am going to my mates gym tomorrow night and its the day I do deadlifts. The problem is there is no real space for it and nights are really busy. The only free area is really in the walkway between the barbell racks. But I don't want to be that guy who blocks peoples path. At the same time, I...

    improving deadlifts

    Sumo vs Conventional Deadlifts

    I'm in a discussion regarding these two styles of deadlifting on another forum. The other guy says that since the ROM in Sumo is less than in Conventional, you can't compare the two. Recently, I switched from conventional to sumo. It didn't really increase my DL (170kg conv, 172.5kg sumo -...
