Today a gym bro told me that it's against the rules to deadlift heavy

Did 5 sets of 3 @ 550 pounds this morning. All perfect reps with no breaks in form. Gym brah literally told me that it's against the rules to deadlift that heavy lmao. don't know what was up his ass. Dude is not an employee at the gym. Also, there were 2 trainers in the gym who deadlift heavier than I do. I laughed at him and then proceeded to do curls right next to him. Jokes on him, I might attempt to max out next week... Dude should go to planet fitness if hes that insecure

Idk. I think he was implying that it's bad to lift heavy. Although I think it's safer than deadlifting for high reps

Why do you deadlift at all?

Strength for heavy lifting on hamstrings and lower back important to your overall health?

Yeah. I've talked with multiple doctors who say being strong is a good thing. The majority of people who never lift at all have back issues and degenerative discs in their older age so it's hard to say deadlifting is a main reason for back issues. Sure with bad form it can fuk you up but if you are lifting with good form i think it's a good thing for bone density and soft tissue strength.

I deadlift because I enjoy lifting heavy and setting PRs. It's fun to compete in powerlifting too

I think personal achievements in general that are not material or monetary based are key in life

He was trying to make you feel better about deading only 550 by assuring that no heavy deadlifters would be around




Just lol if you think he was telling you to stop at that light weight
