>>436880 Most experience I had previously was doing mindless bicep curls with 30 lb dumbbells, and I don't know, maybe being a marathon runner in the past solidified my core--deadlifting really is all about core. I can lift with my arms more than I can deadlift, and I know this because if I go down on my knees, grab the weights, and straighten out from there, it's no problem at all for my arms. In the summer, I cleaned up my diet to the gram, and every time I hit a new deadlift max, I felt sore to at least some extent and pretty much disabled. I guess I was wreckless because one day I threw every plate I had onto my barbell (at home), and attempted a jump from 240 to 315 lb. I couldn't do it the first time, but a few more attempts and wreckless tests of will eventually helped me get that shit up there. It's all legs, and legs grow fast as hell if you supply them well. Now I have that 315 lb barbell sitting on my dorm room floor and I deadlift it pretty much every day to keep my musculature. I hit the gym the other day and 340 wasn't crazy.
It's call determination and the willingness to break some bones, brah. If it hurts, GOOD, shit will repair itself.
