Lower back, glutes, traps, delts, forearms, hamstrings, lats. Ultimate of lifts, no training programme should be without them imo.

My deadlifts usually look something like the below;

8x60kg (warmup)
8x150kg
5x180kg
2x200kg
1x230kg/250kg (max you can lift for 1 rep)
8x100kg (warmdown)

Important to stretch before it imo, loosen the back up then get the movement repeated a few times with light weight to make sure you aint gonna hurt yourself.

I would only deadlift once a week.

Some impresive deadlifting, is it all raw or using straps etc?

All raw except my one heavy rep at max weight usually.

Sometimes use straps at 180/200 depending on how shredded my hands are from previous week!

I love doing dead lifts, can feel it work on all your body, normally rep 100kg for 3 or 4 sets, warm up on 80kg
