Another personal anecdote - if I do deadlifts on any given day, I need an hour extra sleep that night (or more accurately, I suffer in the morning from not having had it). Maybe that need fades with experience but its a major reason deadlifts don't feature prominently in my routine
- pwthornton 5y agoI think this is why a lot of routines tapper down how much deadlifting you do as you get stronger, sometimes to once a week or once a month. Professional football players don't deadlift, for instance. They do a lot power cleans and variations. Deadlifting can be very taxing (although it is one of my favorite exercises).
