Is it ok to stop doing deadlift exercise? i get sick everytime i do it. will ili loose muscle if i stop deadlift?

By all means: stop doing it if it makes you ill. Try decreasing the amount of weight significantly and doing more reps. That will maintain tone and strength. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
