Deadlifts. Anything else isn't functional.

For you? Primarily forearms and the internal/external shoulder rotation muscles I would think.

Wait, people deadlift at your gyms?

Urine and WD-40

You do know that Rippetoe's program is for beginners right? If you are really deadlifting 325x5 then maybe you should be looking at doing something like 5x5 which is more for intermediate lifters.
