Who said it's hardcore? Member 3896, 847 posts SQ 265, BP 150, DL 320 735.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq	I've worked hard on my paused squats (proper 3-4 second pause with exhalation at the bottom) and reached a decent standard. Legs are bigger than ever and I feel I have some crossover strength wise. Does anyone find paused deadlifts have have a similar training effect? I've read a lot about them but whereas some say it helps build confidence at a sticking point other articles have suggested it teaches a slower pull (when the aim is to keep pulling fast). Any thoughts?

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22056 posts	Oxman does them and he's strong at dead lifting. Seems to be quite an uncommon exercise though.

I've actually just started both together this month, albeit paused front squats instead if back. No belts either, not even a soft rehband one. It has broken me!

I always wear a belt from 70% of 1RM upwards or for rep work. Burst two discs and never going through that again if I can use a tool to try and prevent it Paused front squats are a lot of fun... good crossover for stones for me!

Rubish also takes insane amounts of tren, and has orangutan arms.

I've started out doing 5 sets of 5 on my paused work, and the working weight is so light in terms of weight, that it shouldn't be an issue for me... However, it is really kicking my arse!

However, it is really kicking my arse! I'm doing 3x3 and just adding 5kg every week. I'll see how far that gets me. Last night was 145kg deadlift (DOH no straps though). Trying to build a bit of grip strength over time as I am a strap whore.
