not particularly well educated Member 85, 10988 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260 560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	have recently heard a theory that the less often you train the deadlift the more you can pull .I am quite interested in this as I have a fairly physical job and deadlifting seems to leave me feeling completely knackered. As a fairly inexperienced lifter would this be of benefit to me or would i be better off training it everyweek to perfect my crappy technique,and if i was to try it say you deadlifted every 2 weeks what assistance would you do on the week in between? I like the idea of it but am a bit scared that if I deadlifted only once every 2 weeks i would loose strength. be interested to hear peoples opinions!

memories , like the corners of my mind .... Member 49, 2298 posts SQ 200, BP 132.5, DL 220 552.5 kgs @ 123kgs UnEq	Im not 100% sure but i think most people would say that at our level it would be best to deadlift once a week. I think the reason that some people only deadlift once every 2 weeks or so is because they are very big lifters and deadlifting is very taxing on your CNS(central nervouse system). This is just what i have learnt from reading stuff...

Or wave the intensity of your pulling over a few weeks. The latter is probably the 1st plan of action as it would let you train your pulling technique (i know how that sounds ) with out the constant wear of balls to the wall lifting combined with a tough job. How you do it is probably up to you, but on lighter weeks just use approx 50-70% of max for 1-3 reps x 3-6 sets.

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205 497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator	In your situation I would do one light week (concentrating on speed, at the percentages Iain suggested) and one heavier week and rotate them - you definitely want be deadlifting every week to nail technique. And I guess don't be afraid to change the plan a bit if you have had a particularly hard day or twos lifting at work.

I find there's nothing worse than grinding out reps on the dead that you should be pulling with relative ease. Your just beating yourself up with sub-quality work. If this happens stop! Unfortunatly I don't always listen to my own advice

If you are a relative beginner and you can recover from it (and everybody should be able to) then deadlift every week. Alternate light and heavy, or do three weeks and heavy then a back-off week, or build up from light to heavy - whatever. It may be true that some people find it hard to recover from frequent deadlifting and do well off alternatives - but it doesn't follow from that that people who are able to deadlift more frequently should stop doing so and expect their deadlift to go up without training it.
