>never train your lower back because gymbros tell you you'll snap something >deadlift heavy and let your form slip while tired >undertrained lower back snaps >wtf how could this happen
It's a small dick waving. Deadlifts are useless if you're not competing or LARPing as a powersharter. Also the exercise that causes the most snaps and lifting ending injuries besides Preacher Curls.
You're much better off with Pullups and Rows. But majority of IST and reddishit are too weak or too fat for Pullups. So they cope with Deadshits.
>WAOW deadlift and squat is pointless how do they help me fish on dating apps
OP and everyone like him, 2 months later >why does my back hurt when I try to do *insert literally any fricking lift with marginal levels of spinal loading* ???
backpain immediately went away when I stopped pulling conventional
Idk. I think most people just sheepishly do what's popular rather than focus on proper training. Like honestly some people do endurance or power training when their goal is hypertrophy and so they end up doing all this random shit without a plan
Lmao sumos are fricking worthless. Basically no rom
It's the lowest effort exercise. It's super easy for both fatties and twinks to do, and they're "picking up something heavy" (using the muscles that make it the easiest to do) so it makes them feel like they're "working out".
Deadlifts are without question the exercise of choice for Joe Biden/Kamala Harris voters.
>reading comprehension: negative/100
[...]
pulling sumo is admitting to being ontologically weak
conventional just fricks up my back
I'd rather do sumo to blow up my glutes (and in case I want to compete powerlifting one day)
Thinking about it rationally, deadlifts' main attitude is that they're 'functional' exercise, but lifting conventional just doesn't seem convenient. Gripping the bar outside of your legs makes it more uncomfortable and harder to maintain good form. But sumos are known for having shit as frick ROM. Deadlifts in general seem like a shitty exercise
trap bar deadlift seems like overall the best variation imo
The whole fricking point of deadlifts, besides chasing numbers for the sake of it, is the leverage placed on your erectors. If you can maintain decent form lifting 4pl8++ for reps, no barbell row, OHP or even squats to an extent is going to be limited by your posterior chain. If you pull sumo or use the trap bar, you eliminate this effect and the lift actually becomes pointless aside from chasing numbers.
Same thing can be achieved with RDLs, weighted back extensions etc. so deadlifting isn't a must. But if your program/routine has no components specifically in there to strengthen your posterior chain, you're doing it wrong.
It strengthens your back AND posterior chain you weak-willed beta phaggot. Makes you STRONG. >but but the womens no see mussle getting biggar
Go suck a dick
homie nothing about heavy lifting will make you age healthier or live longer. >bro just tax the frick out of your nervous system and destroy your joints to live healthily!
Calisthenics chads unironically have the most capable bodies into old age
I disagree with a lot of your post but interesting about preacher curls. I did them for a bit but was getting forearm pain and it just felt too unnatural so I stopped. Read a bit about it now and I see it leads to a lot of injuries compared to other exercises, didn’t know this.
So now you're pretty and weak. What a pussy. You can be aesthetics and strong at the and time, you know? Do deads then accessories after to get hypertrophy in each of the muscle groups deads used.
deadlifts are not necessary for strength
everything they do for you, can be replaced more effectively with other lifts
there is literally zero reason to do deadlifts if you don't plan on competing in strongman or powerlifting, or if you just really enjoy the lift
RDLs, shrugs, good mornings, boom, conventional deadlifts are now no longer necessary
sumo deadlifts are great for glutes though, lmao
I do several sets of deadlifts to give some work to quads on my lower body pulling day without taxing them too much. I also tried to completely replace deads with rdls and stiff legged dls and these lifts stalled without dls.
>You can be aesthetics and strong at the and time, you know?
Not unless you're roiding. All powersharter trannies look like fat obese uncles or dads that have given up on life.
Your lifts don't impress anyone, you look like fatfricks.
I mean I still pulled 275kg so idk what you would define strong as then, could have kept working at it for that triple bodyweight brag I guess but I really don't care about deads anymore. Everything a deadlift does I can do a more targeted exercise for a better return and I don't feel c**ted after.
Zyzz did them, cbum does them, arnold did them, David laid, Jeff seid, Connor Murphy etc. Just because there's fat redditors who train them for triples and look like shit doesn't mean it's a useless exercise

I do not image anyone on reddit actually lifts, even more than so here.
But I have no idea actually. The real question is; How the frick do you know what redditors like, homosexual?
Most people also have no idea how to brace properly and never learn bc it only becomes a priority when you lift heavy. Frick up your breathing once and your spine will curve and frick you up
I can’t relate to these threads. I’ve been deadlifting for years without a single injury and zero back pain whatsoever. Don’t ego-lift, make sure to brace well and pick up the fricking bar. It’s not that fricking hard.
Doing it with slow eccentric motion down to the ground absolutely shreds your hamstrings and glutes. I don't go for big numbers but treat it like every other exercise doing it with good form and trying to optimize time under tension.
It's literally the exercise that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. We stand up straight and tall where other primates crawl on the ground. We use our opposable thumbs to grip tools and manipulate the world around us. We train these muscles to their absolute limit to give glory to the supremecy that is the human race.
Deadlifts may not do much for aesthetics, but they have great carryover to general carrying capacity. It's so much easier carrying heavy boxes to help my mother with her groceries (she prefers buying certain things in bulk).
It's so weird. It's ALWAYS the lanky 6'+ guys who can deadlift 400+ lbs for reps without trying. I've never seen a DYEL who can bench 2 plates for reps or overhead press 1 plate for reps.
It's so weird. I see dyels that look like shit benching 2 plates regularly at my gym but I don't see anyone besides myself and another dude deadlifting more than 100kg.
Hey boys, seen a lot of threads today hating on deadlifts. Why does it have to be so hard, it is a good exercise but you don’t have to do it if you don’t like it. I just came home from the gym now, finally pulled 200kg after 4 months of training, my goal was to do it before Christmas but I felt good today. Anyways, stop being salty losers and just do stuff you like at the gym. Also I tried OHP with 65kg as well for the first time and could do three at the first set but had to chipp a little on the last sets. Thanks for reading my blog but I felt good about myself today and wanted to share
I don't hate on deadlifts; they're a great exercise. I just wonder why redditors and certain people love using it as some ultimate measure of full body strength.

, I don't hate on them. They're just not everything.
>he didn't SS+GOMAD
You moronic frick. You don't remember IST from those days do you? People legit were comitting suicides ffs. Turns out squatting 3x a week and not focusing on Upper Body makes you look like shit.
Everyone who fears deadlifts tries to baby their back and never let it bend and never expose it to loads and then acts all surprised pikachu face when they get tired during a deadlift set and let their back bend slightly and they snapmaxx.
Do some Jefferson curls and Zerchers and you'll be just fine. Stop fearing a particular range of motion, your body will thank you a decade or two down the line when all your peers have back pain and you don't. >b-b-but its not optimal for hypertrophy sam sulek doesnt do them chicks wont notice if I have a big deadlift
One huge benefit of lifting for strength and mobility is keeping you healthy and resilient as you get older. At some point you're not gonna be young anymore and having a spine that won't snap when exposed to load will be much more important than how big your quads got when you were 22.
Sure. Just be sure to start very slowly on low back exercises or tell others to do so if you're gonna spread the good word - like I said, most people rarely expose their lower back to loads and so the graded exposure has to be extremely gentle at first to prevent snaps. Non lifters should start with simply doing toe touches and pike poses and then the lightest dumbbells they have access to while experienced lifters can start with an empty barbell.
Listen, this is all I know about deadlift:
No matter how hard I train traps, I cannot get even a little bit sore the next day. I’m talking 20 sets to failure, with drop sets and iso-holds, and I feel nothing the next day.
However- if I do traps and then do deadlift the next day. My traps and nice and sore.
I know that’s anecdotal, but that’s my argument for doing deadlifts.
>everything I don’t like is reddit
ok
Deadlifts and squats give me stronger boners
enjoy your injured spine
bye
>never train your lower back because gymbros tell you you'll snap something
>deadlift heavy and let your form slip while tired
>undertrained lower back snaps
>wtf how could this happen
Yes.
It’s a timeless insult. I was seeing it in 2009, and still seeing it to this day. The meme is immortal.

i just do sumo
backpain immediately went away when I stopped pulling conventional
Idk. I think most people just sheepishly do what's popular rather than focus on proper training. Like honestly some people do endurance or power training when their goal is hypertrophy and so they end up doing all this random shit without a plan
Lmao sumos are fricking worthless. Basically no rom
This too tb'h
everyone shits on sumo, but if they were some cheat code, every powerlifter would just pull sumo and add 10% or whatever to their numbers
Thinking about it rationally, deadlifts' main attitude is that they're 'functional' exercise, but lifting conventional just doesn't seem convenient. Gripping the bar outside of your legs makes it more uncomfortable and harder to maintain good form. But sumos are known for having shit as frick ROM. Deadlifts in general seem like a shitty exercise
trap bar deadlift seems like overall the best variation imo
Isn’t that basically a squat though
The whole fricking point of deadlifts, besides chasing numbers for the sake of it, is the leverage placed on your erectors. If you can maintain decent form lifting 4pl8++ for reps, no barbell row, OHP or even squats to an extent is going to be limited by your posterior chain.

Same thing can be achieved with RDLs, weighted back extensions etc. so deadlifting isn't a must. But if your program/routine has no components specifically in there to strengthen your posterior chain, you're doing it wrong.
I can't get my back into place safely for conventional, period. There's really nothing to be said beyond that.
If I kept doing conventional, I would never rise below 3 plates and constantly have a hurting lower back.
I like dl because it makes my legs look nicer, but then again I only do 150 pounds for like 15 reps so it's not like I'm being a strong boy.
>not like I'm being a strong boy.
we could tell
I know my test levels are lower than a typical black woman, it'll never get better.
dont be like that m8. now i feel bad for cyberbullying you
It's ok I'm also prettier than the average woman too.
Moron
Yes, you are. You DYEL clown. Deadlift is a shit exercise and I hope you get injured, you dumb Black person.
Post body with a timestamp.
It strengthens your back AND posterior chain you weak-willed beta phaggot. Makes you STRONG.
>but but the womens no see mussle getting biggar
Go suck a dick
Sure thing Black person. There is a reason you 5x5 subhumans look like you never lifted anything in your sadshit lives.
>To afraid to post his body
Okay dyelboy
Post yours then since it's so great
Here now post yours
The more muscles hit, the worse it is for hypertrophy as the goal is to max out individual parts. That's why deadlifts are a normie meme
Training only for LE BIG MUSCLES is as normie as you can get
>tweaks his spaghetti-back while picking up a piece of tendie wrapper from the floor
Harvard medicine recommends deadlifts to help people age healthily and live longer
Trust the science.
homie nothing about heavy lifting will make you age healthier or live longer.

>they have the most capable bodies!
>needs a cane to walk
I deadlift 3.4x my bw and can knock out 15+ reps of wide grip pullups, paused with a deadhang. How about you stop b***hing a pu$$y and do both, nibba?
I disagree with a lot of your post but interesting about preacher curls. I did them for a bit but was getting forearm pain and it just felt too unnatural so I stopped. Read a bit about it now and I see it leads to a lot of injuries compared to other exercises, didn’t know this.
If you stretch your arm too much on Preachers(Especially with EZ/Straight bar), you can pretty much say goodbye to your Biceps.
>If you stretch your arm too much on Preachers
Just keep the weight light and nothing will happen
based, dropping deadlifts and moving to a body part split has been the best thing I've ever done for my physique. Fell for the powershitter larp.
had a 275kg deadlift at 97kg bodyweight before I stopped doing them and I have nothing to show for it.
So now you're pretty and weak. What a pussy. You can be aesthetics and strong at the and time, you know? Do deads then accessories after to get hypertrophy in each of the muscle groups deads used.

>or if you just really enjoy the lift
literally me
if you can do 200 kg deads you are already strong enough for all real scenarios
anything morecwill give you back problems down the road
>You can be aesthetics and strong at the and time, you know?

do you have weird leverages?
outside of that it's usually a technique and/or loading problem
idk I have a really long torso and short legs, kind of normal wingspan
So they can feel superior to the aesthetic curl bros who they secretly wish they were like
>you can't do curls and pick up a barbell from the ground at the same time within a 7-day span of time
It's the lowest effort exercise. It's super easy for both fatties and twinks to do, and they're "picking up something heavy" (using the muscles that make it the easiest to do) so it makes them feel like they're "working out".
Deadlifts are without question the exercise of choice for Joe Biden/Kamala Harris voters.
Nassim Taleb disagrees with you.
when did commercials stop being so kino?
Only morons avoid DLs its a great tool for CNS training
>t. noodle-back betas afraid to lift dead
I do not image anyone on reddit actually lifts, even more than so here.
But I have no idea actually. The real question is; How the frick do you know what redditors like, homosexual?
>haven't been to IST in a while, let's see what's-
>"Deadlifts are LE BAD"
Never change.
Relatively easy to hit big numbers compared to basically every other compound lift.
Deadlifts are fine, but you don't have to 1 rep max them every time you do them, 70% - 80% loading is fine and probably optimal for joint health.
it's simple, but for that reason most underestimate the technique involved and get rekt
Most people also have no idea how to brace properly and never learn bc it only becomes a priority when you lift heavy. Frick up your breathing once and your spine will curve and frick you up
Reddit prefers Sumo deadlift
Could I do this to strengthen the posterior chain?
Would it have any carryover to deadlift?
?t=4
I can’t relate to these threads. I’ve been deadlifting for years without a single injury and zero back pain whatsoever. Don’t ego-lift, make sure to brace well and pick up the fricking bar. It’s not that fricking hard.
Same
DLs are the only reason my back pain healed, even, given the fact that I wageslaved myself into back issues
Compound movements are the breasts
Doing it with slow eccentric motion down to the ground absolutely shreds your hamstrings and glutes. I don't go for big numbers but treat it like every other exercise doing it with good form and trying to optimize time under tension.
so can someone not experiencing schizophrenic psychosis tell me if I should deadlift or not

Plus b***hes love a deadlifting dumpy.
Their narwal bacons at midnight, their trans lives matter, they deadlift. Simple as.

Functional strength FTW!!!
But in all seriousness it helps me get nice and strong for the wife and all the adulting i do
The first two sentences were irony as you stated but the last one also seems like it as well.

Deadlifts may not do much for aesthetics, but they have great carryover to general carrying capacity. It's so much easier carrying heavy boxes to help my mother with her groceries (she prefers buying certain things in bulk).
it makes them feel masculine, as in their minds, they imagine themselves as picrel
deadlifts are a cope lift
Deadlifts help me frick harder.
Everyone who angrily opposes deadlift gives off a vibe like they can't deadlift heavy.
it's the no1 dyel lift.
I have several regulars at my gym who spends 30 mins deadlifting each time i see them and they all look like absolute shit
It's so weird. It's ALWAYS the lanky 6'+ guys who can deadlift 400+ lbs for reps without trying. I've never seen a DYEL who can bench 2 plates for reps or overhead press 1 plate for reps.
We need strong backs because the world is built for smaller people, we’re bending down awkwardly all the time.
