any bodyweight exercises that mimic those? Squats I get, but is there anything you can do to match the others?

They're called "beach muscles".

Nordic hamstring curls will help. Not much bodyweight wise than give the benefits and overload of the deadlifts and cleans. But some kettlebells will help add to the resistance. AthleanX has a complete bodyweight program

Good call on the Nordic ham curls.

 

I think people see deadlifts as an only heavy move that is possibly going to cause injury.

 

But, as you said, even a kettle ball or a couple of dumbbells is good to start. I was shocked at how weak my hamstrings were and just did dumbbell Romanians for 2 months until I got my form down and moved to plates. But I still just do the Romanians. They hit everything hard but quads and I do squats anyway.

It's a shame a lot of people don't approach weight lifting with the intention of always working on and continuing the understanding and execution of proper form. Dead's, squats, and really most of the compound lifts are a lot like the golf swing, you have to continue to stretch, improve your range of motion and perfect your form. One should never stop trying to improve.

 

Most of the people I observe at the gym who are brave enough to do them seem to accept their bad form and do nothing to improve it. Then they slap on the training wheels with a lifting belt and do entirely too much weight. That's how you get hurt.

 

Dead's get a bad rap, but if you can learn the right form (personally I think that is sumo stance), they are incredibly beneficial. If I could give any advice (and I'm no expert by any means) it would be ditch the weight belt, get a trainer, and learn the right form.

To my lifting friends on here, if you really want a one stop exercise, try a Kolkav. Start with the long bar on the ground...Do a dead lift, then get the bar into hang clean position at your knees, then do a clean, once you have the bar racked on your chest, then do a front squat, then come back up, with the weight on your chest still, throw up a press, back down, then send the bar back up and end it with a jerk. lower bar back to hang clean position at knees, then back to the ground, then repeat process. If you can get to 5 reps of the entire process in one set at or above 135lbs (including the bar), you are on your way to being a golden god! I'm sure I'll die of a heart attack at some point in my life, and it will probably be while doing those SOB's

Sounds like what I used to do while training for boxing (minus the front squat). I'd usually get 95 pounds and do 3 or 4 sets of 12 (sometimes up to 16). I'd take a minute rest only between sets - because that's your rest in boxing. Insane. I'd also jump rope for 30 minutes and to 30 burpees just to get warmed up. I was doing that through my 40s, mind you. Funny to think about. I've focused a lot more on curling 16 ounces of very high-grade IPA the last 2 years and, frankly, I think that's pretty healthy too...

I hear ya brother. I tried my hand at boxing for about 3 years. I have nothing but respect for anyone who trains or has trained to fight in any discipline... a fighter is probably the finest conditioned athlete you can find in any sport. If you could get to 16 reps in anything resembling that exercise, then its going to take a lot of beer to significantly change the body you've built for yourself.

I’ve read some blogs and articles where lifters haven’t done a conventional deadlift in years. They use db or bb Romanian, straight leg or other forms of deads. The starting with Romanian before proceeding to a conventional to get form down is something I’ve seen Alan Thrall talk about for those looking to start deadlifting.

 

Yeah unfortunately like a lot of things deadlifts and strength training get bad reps and mis information spread that scare people away from doing them. Same with diets so much bad info out there about foods ant types of foods people are confused on how weight loss actually works.

Yes, all about total balance in the routine.

 

I got my workout down. Start on Wed with leg day. Because... you don’t skip leg day ; ) 6 sets squats(including warmup) and 4 sets of RDL. Tues, back day, 5 sets rows, 5 sets pull downs, Friday, 6 sets bench or incline bench, 4 sets side raises. Only takes about 30 minutes/day. Then, 1 to 1.5 hours cycling Sat, Sun, Tues.

 

I call it bulk and burn. Lift and eat big then, then cycling burns like 7/800 calories on those days.

 

The one thing I do need to do more is stretching for sure.

Cleans and snatches are great for lifters with the experience and wrist/shoulder mobility to perform then safely under load. It will take a beginner months(minimum) just to get proficient to perform the move safely. Deadlifts are literally the most basic dynamic motion that works the entire posterior chain with a natural movement. Literally bending down at the knee and hip to a stable position and then bracing the body and standing up.

 

A beginning lifters strength/power/speed(in all athletic movements, including golf) with increase substantially in the first few months simply from learning the movement under a moderate load from the increased neuromuscular efficiency. For example, someone starting off maybe can barely deadlift 135 the first time and it a matter of a few months can pull 200-250. They certainly didn’t gain it from increased muscle tissue.

If you have a lot of muscle and want to lose most of it and your strength but lose lbs on the scale, stop lifting heavy weights.

 

Want you get a lot stronger and lose FAT? Lift heavy weights.

But as you know....You can lift a lot of weight and still carry a lot of fat. You see guys like that, they are big and sometimes strong but high body fat. They eat too much for what they lift and just think it’s good to look big even with a gut.

 

I spent almost 2 years lifting but in a slight calorie deficit. Lost about 1 pound a month but gained very significant strength and some muscle. Then, I went to a slight calorie surplus (yes!) and slowly gained back about 10-15 pounds of muscle over 2 years. The cycling has made it tough to gain but that’s fine, I’m not looking to get a bouncer job ; ) and I feel good where I’m at.

Heavy deadlifts wouldn’t be necessary for performance, he could go light, but if mass and strength are the goals, heavy deadlifts will not only focus on the hamstrings, glutes, lower back, but also the quads, upper back and forearms. They’re contribution transfers to Maximizing pretty much every other excercise.

No doubt. Just wanted to respond with generalization without changing other variables like getting into caloric surplus and deficits and what not. Directly in response to Moses’ statement.

 

If you have a lot of muscle and stop lifting weights you’re going to lose weight, muscle. (i.e. Gronk)

 

The vast majority of golfers and guys here don’t have that body composition. If they don’t lift weights their body weight will stay the same but will over time will start accumulating more and more body fat and gain weight as they get older(if they keep at the same caloric intake). However if they keep that intake the same and start lifting “heavy weight” consistently they will, over time, change their body composition. They may stay around the same total body weight but, for example, instead of being 200lbs and 25% body fat when they started, they may be 200lbs and 15% body fat by this time next year.

You guys are weird. It’s called biceps curls in the squat rack. That’s where gains are found.

Maybe try low dose naltrexone if you haven't already. Inexpensive, safe and generally effective at cutting cravings for carbs, etc.

Deadlifts are incredible for all over strength and get a bad rap. Exactly right learn proper form and see the results. Squats as well. Do them both right and you’re back gets super strong

I agree with learning right form and continually getting better but to say there is no risk with proper form just isn’t true. Obviously, the more weight the higher the risk as well but the benefits can outweigh the risk for most people. I’ll also say this, dead’s and squats aren’t mandatory by any means, in fact I’ve seen more impressive physiques of guys who don’t do either than the guys busting their balls doing deadlifts.

Exactly the point. Those bicep curls make muscles look strong but the Real strath is in those compound lifts. And of course if you try and lift too much too soon your form suffers and injury can occur. basically what I found is do has heave as you can do 6 reps correctly for 3 sets then go up in weight 10 lbs. until you can do that 6 reps 3 sets. You get strong pretty fast

Exactly. Squats and deadlifts are as mandatory of lifts there are for building functional strength and power of the entire posterior chain that translates across a broad athletic spectrum. Golf, long drive, football, basketball, baseball etc. There is a reason you see all athletes performing deadlifts, usually trap bar, less form restrictions.

I learned to hit it hard growing up and then learned to control it, plus I played all sports. However in my athletic prime years in my early-mid 20’s i was 119-120 consistent club speed. I’m 37 now and I’m easily 10mph faster. Also, about 5 years ago just before I really started focusing on heavy squats and deadlifts I was about 122- 124.

 

FWIW I fluctuated 180-190lbs through my 20’s. Now during the winter months when I really focus on powerlifting I fill out to about 200-204lbs. Golf season i trim down to 190ish.

I was shocked at how weak my hamstrings were and just did dumbbell Romanians for 2 months until I got my form down and moved to plates. But I still just do the Romanians. They hit everything hard but quads and I do squats anyway.

Dead's, squats, and really most of the compound lifts are a lot like the golf swing, you have to continue to stretch, improve your range of motion and perfect your form. One should never stop trying to improve.

Obviously, the more weight the higher the risk as well but the benefits can outweigh the risk for most people. I’ll also say this, dead’s and squats aren’t mandatory by any means, in fact I’ve seen more impressive physiques of guys who don’t do either than the guys busting their balls doing deadlifts.

Golf, long drive, football, basketball, baseball etc. There is a reason you see all athletes performing deadlifts, usually trap bar, less form restrictions.

I’m 37 now and I’m easily 10mph faster. Also, about 5 years ago just before I really started focusing on heavy squats and deadlifts I was about 122- 124.

Nice. Well done, I also find when I’m stronger I have way more control of my own body and therefore, my swing so I can swing faster with better balance
