Are deadlifts necessary to gain mass? srs

[tekno17]

I was going to follow Coolcicadas wellknown Push/pull/legs/repeat routine. He has no deadlifts, has BB rows instead because DL will apparently fatigue you to much before next legs day.
And I just wanted to know whether deadlifts are actually necessary?

[QuadDamIt]

[doughnutking]

Why do you keep posting all your workout questions in the misc?

Feck off to the exercise section and ask them there.

Why the phuck wouldn't you want to deadlift

[AlphaMan69]

No I've been lifting for 2 years without doing deadlifts, I recently started doing deadlifts 3 months ago and nothing in my physique has changed

[Downunder Gaz]

I do deadlifts on tuesdays and then my second leg session is on wednesdays, 1st on sundays, so don't be a pussy and do them!

There is no single exercise that is necessary to put on mass. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do them.

Noticed much more mass in my traps and back due to them. srs

[Lee72]

I do deadlifts a day before leg day and I'm fine

[ezjax]

No.. food is

Alright. I will do them once a week, rotating them with BB rows.

[Anomynous]

V bar rows are much better for overall back development.

[shellski]

Necessary? No.

[Duckyy]

Man. I don't even know. I do compound lifts while my buddy does machine exercises only, unless it's something like dumbell curls (no barbell/dumbbell exercises). And I can guarantee I lift more than him, but he can easily post me up in basketball. Maybe cuz he's got like 20+lbs on me. but still..

[JMAG90]

I prefer pendlay rows over deadlifts by far. I don't see deadlifts as necessary at all. If you want to do them, do them. If not don't.

I deadlift around 455 for reps when I do feel like doing them. Not a staple in my workout though

[Gaedj]

Honestly seems like squat has a higher correlation with the amount of muscle someone carries. Almost noone at my gym who squats 500lb+ is small. However, there are some guys who move quite a bit of weight on dead but don't look very impressive.

[thatGuyyy]

Deadlifts are overrated as hell

Rows are way better for back development, and they are less risky

[ProPhaze777]

I do Romanian dead lifts on leg day to target my hamstrings and lower back... They are a staple in my specific routine but it depends on a few things as far as your goals and full regimine.

[Malnourishment]

Double overhand deadlifts are the best lift IMO, none of that dangerous mixed chit.
They give you godly grip strength and you have a very low chance of injuring yourself while reaping all of the benefits of mixed grip deads.

That being said, of course no single lift is necessary.

[retiredrunner]

Where's that cute little Mexican girl who says "why not both" when you need her

Though I personally prefer ghetto T-Bar rows

[solidrex]

If you wanna lift like a man then definitely do deadlifts. My lower back is huge only because I've been doing deadlifst. Only exercise that can develop lower to mid longitudinal muscles of back is deadlifts not rows. As a part of back development, deadlifts, yes.Of course you have to do rows and other stuff to make a good back though.

[evanray]

Deadlift is one of the kings of exercise.

Allow me to pick this apart real quick.

Premise: Lifting for two years

Premise: Recently started doing deadlifts

Premise: Nothing has changed

Conclusion: Deadlifts are not effective


What are potential flaws?

a)You could have a general lack of nutrition leading to to a plateau.
b) You could have bad form when exercising leading to ineffective compound lifts
c) You could use too little or too much weight/repetitions

Which one is it?
