Late to the party, but deadlifts should not be listed as push or pull. It’s a level action of the back and hips. If you are pulling or pushing with your arms, you are not deadlifting with proper form.

Hi Nick. Thanks for writing. The key for me lies in the short intervals between sets (10-15 seconds). I also move from one exercise to the next very quickly. Since I’ve gotten a lot of response on this posting, I will be writing a follow up piece with more details as well. So be sure to check back in over the next few days.

Excellent post, one of the best I have seen on weights workouts in a while. Very clearly laid out information on Devany’s workout philosophy.

Deadlifts should be listed as pull, not push movements.
It’s a great approach and I have used it with nice success in my past.

Dr. DeVany’s writings are great. Just FYI, he generally recommends one upper body day, one lower body day, and one completely different day working out per week. After you complete one 3 set round of an exercise, make sure to go to something completely different, so overhead press is followed by pull ups is followed by dumbbell bench, followed by chest supported rows etc. Same thing with lower body day.. just think quads, hamstrings, quads, hamstrings. On completely different day is where I put deadlifts, as they don’t neatly fall into either category. There’s really no point in doing multiple reps of deadlifts, so I do singles up to a heavy single with minimum rest.
