      The feds groom the shooters to go after easily targeted victims (like children who cannot fight back in public schools) to push gun control. If someone tried to shoot up a gym they'd get tackled almost immediately, or shot by one of the many right-wingers conceal carrying.

    I can respect someone who wants to deadlift heavy but it's laughable some people think it's necessary for bodybuilding

        Also to add on, pro athletes in any sports don't deadlift for the obvious high risks of injury.

          This is one of those lines that IST constantly parrots even though it's objectively untrue. It's fine if you just don't want to deadlift, but don't make up bullshit rationalizations for your lack of testicular fortitude

            Face it, you can snapped up by squatting and benching to
            But the only lift that gets constant hatred is the deadlift
            As long as you don't egolift and try to max with shit technique, you won't snap your shit up
            Do it in a solid rep range and you are golden
            Nothing unsafe about working posterior chain
            Do rdls, trapbar, stuff, block pull, etc

          Completely untrue, for example pro baseballers are all encouraged to go as heavy as possible on DL, 4pl8 for reps minimum. Core and ass strength are endlessly useful in any explosive power based sport

    Autistically focusing on one exercise is based though. I just do heavy bench/power cleans plus a frickton of cardio & calisthenics depending on what my joints are saying that day.

      You’ll make it. Getting to 4pl8 is a solid goal and you’ll get benefits from it. Don’t listen to the bucketcrabs here.

      Best to start at whatever weight you can pull correctly and then build up from there. The only reason deadlift has such a high rate of injury is because people don't realise how shit their posture / core are and they just pull the heaviest weight they can from the start. This means they further ingrain their biomechanical compensation mechanisms, strengthening the parts of themself that are already too overactive and further atrophying the parts that should be contributing more. Most people don't even have the hip mobility for the start position and compensate by rounding the spine and shoulders.
      You're doing the right thing. If you're not competing in powerlifting or weightlifting, all lifts are a means to an end. Just because something is easy to measure doesn't mean it's the right thing to optimise.

        You are right. I don't have the mobility either so I'm raising the bar a little bit by putting plates underneath, working on stretching my hammies meanwhile. Pulling 1pl8 feels very easy but it is still difficult to maintain good form and straight spine on all reps, I feel like it's wise to practice with b***h weight until the form is ingrained into my memory and feels natural. Slightly embarrasing in a crowded gym but it is what it is, won't be like that forever
