At 53 I do the trap Bar deadlift now. The bottom line is to pull something heavy for 1 set of 5-8 reps!

After 37 years, this week I started the deadlift again. Only 40kg on Olympic bar, but still a star. <br><br>One of my favourite exercises.

Love the deadlift. Hit 494 as a 181 pounder in my youth but at 68 still doing BW for 30 slow, controlled reps and 15 reps with BW + 50 pounds. Hope I can always do them. Only do them once every 3 or 4 weeks

I'm not as young anymore but I have started deadlifting again over the last week. 135 is where I start and finish. I think that's enough for me.
