Can the fitness community STOP encouraging deadlifts/compounds?

[SkinnyKappa]

How many more people need to get injured until the fitness community stops encouraging people to do deadlifts, OHP, squats, or any other compounds?

Srs. I have not seen a SINGLE person in my gym deadlifting right. Every single one of them has an arched back of peace even when they don't even realize it.

Look, the deadlift is a great exercise when done CORRECTLY. If you have a legit personal trainer, or learn how to deadlift at an olympic or powerlifting gym then it's probably awesome to you because you're doing it correctly. But chances are you don't watch furcking YouTube fitness videos or whatever. Reality is that 99% of lifters who do compounds do them really furcking wrong, and only set themselves up for injuries.

Same applies to OHP and other compounds... Your goal at the gym shouldn't be to get a herniated disc, it should be to get stronger or build muscles.

Broscience and fitness culture tells people to do "alpha" compounds, but seriously phuck that. Your health is more important than everything else. Don't worry, you can still get big legs from leg press.

Discuss.

Nice avi

[StandUpAndSlay]

You are a complete idiot

[Power_Strike92]

Stopped deadlifting and now I only front squat. Compounds might be great for overall strength, but **** it I just want aesthetics.

[NoDestroyingMe]

Come at me brah!

[N0F4tCh1cks]

what's wrong with OHP? I know deads done wrong can be a ticket to snapcity

[cloudstrife1218]

sigh.

compound exercises should be the core of any persons routine bro. If you see someone about to hurt themselves, intervene. IF they take the advice, great, if not, well its their loss.

It's not the exercise that needs to go, it's idiots who don't know how to lift, or are too hard headed to seek help that need to go.

You're probably a liberal too, huh?

[Murph0408]

it's the responsibility of the gym goer to learn the moves he's performing. it's not the fitness community's problem or responsibility when someone doesn't bother to learn the move properly before maxing out. you say it yourself; these lifts done correctly are terrific. so take the time to learn them.

[SkinnyKappa]

You are a complete idiot

I'm gonna put you in the red in 5 minutes if you don't explain yourself.

[Girther]

This must be fake bait

[MrGreenTea]

No, compounds should be done. It is ego lifting that is causing everyone to go snap city.

[ImJJames]

lol @ compound movements in 2017.

[IronKrazy]

230lbs 6x5 on dat dare deadlift OP. And plan to continue adding weight until I decide to reset.

Stay weak ****git.

All of those compound lifts are fantastic for both building strength and size. Just because some people do them wrong doesn't mean that they shouldn't be encouraged. They should just be encouraged to be done correctly, rather than not done at all. It's really not a hard concept to grasp. Good luck building up a comparable posterior chain without squat/deadlift variations. Neglecting the compound lifts will only hinder the speed at which you progress in almost all cases.

Compounds are very good for aesthetics. I don't agree with you.

I did 13 sets of heavy deadlifts today, tempted to put you in the red for this thread title jackass

Here's what I see at my gym:

[IronKrazy]

Lol weak as ****.

Just started doing high volume with deadlifts. Do not want to go to snap city bruh.

[yabbayabba]

Funny thing is I tore my bicep doing preacher curls. Should just ban the gym entirely.

Unless you're a girl then I don't know why you're bragging. No hate, but those numbers aren't something to brag about.

[MrAWatts]

Negged.

Are you going to personally fix all of their forms? If not, then encouraging them to be done correctly is encouraging them to do compounds incorrectly which is encouraging them to injure themselves.

Disagreed entirely.

[TheJediBrah]

You should be able to work this out for yourself by the time you're out of your teens tbh

anyone dumb enough to fall for the old "squats and oats, gotta do dead lifts etc" rhetoric deserves what they get

[Bando]

Training for a comp and grumpy AF, no one should feel as sore and torn as I feel right now lol

OP just struck a chord at the wrong time

[IronKrazy]

Not bragging. Just stating I'm doing high volume with the deadlift. As I replied earlier, just started doing high volume with the deadlift and didn't know my limit for 6x5. I'm thinking my true 1RM is somewhere near 375lbs. Maybe 405lbs if I risk it all lol.

Disagreed entirely.

"Then encouraging them to be done correctly is encouraging them to do compounds incorrectly"

Lol horrible bait. $100 Paypal says your physique looks like chit and you're weak as piss.

[Ripper908]

Compounds are good

I think compounds in the low rep range with crap form (aka lifting too heavy) is the real problem

[Friendly300]

lol I know that feel

I got heavy squats with high volume (and high volume assistance work) programmed every day until next saturday

You mad brah?

4 rm or less with **** form, or high reps and losing form on final rep. Most likely recipes for disaster. Even more so if no proper warm up

[DeadlyStriker]

How about you stop encouraging people to be pussies OP.

Because that is exactly what this thread is doing.
