A place where comrades can
(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,
(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and
(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.
Rule:
Approach every conversation in good faith.
Not who you're asking to, but I would always recommend to use a free weight barbell when deadlifting. The Smith machine is something I always avoid because it takes away the factor of stability, and when you don't train it you will notice if you switch to free weights after training with the Smith machine that you will lift less. As for dumbbells, I honestly do not think there are any of those heavy enough to practice the deadlift with them, and even then I think your form would suffer heavily from it.
If you need some theory on how to perform them with good form, I think this video is ideal for it.
