I lift weights at home (husband accumulated a set of bars and plates and dumbbells before we got together), it's not my main workout but deadlifts are the only lift I actually honest to God enjoy. And it helps a lot with yoga.

A lot of people start off with them and go hard but even Arnold threw them in at the end of his workout for 10 reps!

I scale the weight up as I do other things, start with unloaded 30lb bar, adding 10lb for sets of 10 until I can do only 5 reps then stop. Most stuff (curls, etc) I cannot do much weight so each exercise I drop off as I cannot do, towards the end it's literally just deadlifts, add weight, more deadlifts.

I love it. We used to do this in high school but with seated cable pulls. I didn’t understand how to activate certain muscles at that age so I ended up with big arms instead of a big back!

That’s where the deadlifts come in..

Arms are arms, chest is chest, everything else is legs

I use resistance bands and they have pull day and push day, which seems more reasonable

Deadlift is a "deadlift day" exercise
