Deadlifts are exhausting but I hardly ever do them. They're more taxing on the cns than they are beneficial for your muscles. With that said, it's a good idea to do them on occasion. I mean lifting heavy things and putting them down is the foundation of weight lifting... obviously.

I am an athlete and body builder and I've had zero problems getting good pumps at planet fitness. They have multiple squat racks and a leg press I can put a dozen plus 45s on. Only thing is they're smith machines so you gotta find other ways to target those stabilizing muscles. For legs I do weighted box steps and one leg deadlifts.

I just feel like my planet Fatness didnt have all that great equipment. Theres only so much a smith machine, leg press, and hamstring curls can do. Or maybe I used that as an excuse and didnt push very hard

Deadlifts are an awesome exercise. I deadlift every time I train now (3-4 times per week).

Hint: mix it up with trap bar deadlifts, rack pulls, Romanians, pause deadlifts, dumbbell deadlifts, etc so you're not just doing the same movement every day. Maybe pick 2-3 of them per training cycle to focus on.

The good thing is that now I have a real gym to go to, so I can finally do all that. Went and got a notebook for tracking my lifts too.

Have you still been doing legs in general?

Like I said above, mostly just the smith machine shit, and whatever other leg machines PF had. Leg press was good, but I always feel like it spoils you a little
