Deadlifts are probably the most overrated exercise natty bbers are doin, its all ego.

[Phesper]

Lets look at the facts:

-most injury producing movement, rip your discs

-main muscle group used is hips which are already the strongest muscle you have

-people boast their dl like it measures true strength, lmao its actually physics to make lift easier

-some of the best dead lifters are dyel (maxx, not hating srs)

-rack pulls are better for back and i still wouldnt do this

Had to make this post after seeing a 400lb dude rep 315s the most obnoxious way ive ever seen, i wish this trend dies. You need to stay away from dls if you want a proportionate physique

[berserkbladex]

Your body will respond harshly to using very heavy weights later in life. DL leads to back injuries especially to people that don't work on form first. Most of those injuries are permanent.

Deadlift 1x8 once a week crew

[eatyourspinach]

It's actually one of the most practical things you can do, what is one of the things you do on a daily basis? You lift things up off the floor, it should be a natural movement.

[Payrab]

I go to the same gym as Maxx and he's actually not that DYEL IRL.

[WhiteKnightBoss]

Says the guy with no back...

I do slightly agree with OP, but it's certainly not an unnecesary exercise when pretty much EVERYONE who's big does them.

This. DL are safe if you don't ego lift with too much weight. Also most people neglect mobility work which will tighten up your form.

Who is Maxx?

congrats on your no eat/no lift goals of 2016 so far op, looks like they're working

Deadlifts are for total *******s tbh

[aspirex]

bulging l5s1 here, anyone recovered fully from it? been 3 years and it doesn't really go away, affecting my legs too

[gooberkient]

i've noticed less people deadlifting in my gym, it was fairly common maybe 1-2 years ago, now everyone squats.

i stopped deadlifting because i have a degenerative disc condition and whenever i bend over to pick something heavy up my lower back flares up.

[LifeChoices]

how do you guys develop your spinal erectors then?

ITT: pussies who dont want to DL or cant DL a lot and are embarrassed.


DL is a god tier exercise. Just dont be a ****ing knob about it and check your ego.

[GreenWave1]

Yay! A thread bashing dead lifts! This is new!

Next to squats, best fuking exercise for the entire body.

best exercise for building posterior chain and lower back strength IMO. but yes, hands-down the easiest exercise to injure yourself on

[Payrab]

People are really off put by him. He's loud and and he's always filming himself. Pretty cringey tbh. Impressive deadlift though.

[Tbone991]

i think we can all agree that there is a good and bad side to doing anything

lmao at people trying to cope by bashing deads

sure, but it makes absolutely zero since to say that something as ancient and proven as deadlifts are the worst exercise to do, period of whatever your goals are. you literally just pick up the weight and put it down in a controlled manner. which is why it makes me think this is some kind of roll bread.

Yes,you lift 170lbs off the ground on a daily right? just a natural thing

Not necessarily but the gross motor skills your body uses to perform the movement of lifting an object off the floor is common, just like squatting is done by sitting and standing.

[cojones539]

100% agreed

I know I'm going to upset a lot of people with this, but deadlifts are not a good tool for mass. They don't involve dynamic contractions, which is a huge downside. Deadlifts also put the legs through a limited range of motion which is arbitrarily determined by the radius of the standard 45-pound plate.

These issues can be partially resolved by not resetting between reps, using a very wide grip, or using an extended range of motion (from a deficit or with smaller plates), but even then, the exercise doesn't satisfy the limit factor principle. With those changes, the grip or erector spinae are most likely to give out first.

Still, deadlifts aren't even ideal for these muscle groups because they're both slow-twitch dominant and require relatively-high volume for optimal growth, but working deadlifts with such a high volume will leave your nervous system fried and extra crispy, like everyone's favorite breakfast side dish.

However, this isn't to say that all deadlift variations are bad for bodybuilders. Romanian deadlifts, for example, remain a good exercise.

u need to lift more then what you usual do in order for your body to be strong enough... thats just logic


Ive heard it from countless physios, chiros and osteopaths that my spinal erectors are huge (to them) and its very unlikely ill have disc issues, another reason to build your spinal erectors up as they keep your spine together


Been deading for over 10years and NEVER had an issue with them

[ballzofpeaze]

Couldn't disagree with your more op.

Yep,

We all know these idiots injure themselves by lifting with their egos instead of their muscles.
