Should You Deadlift for Bodybuilding??

[DanielHeredia]

Deadlifts are good for the soul if anything

[JPeakman]

Gotta keep in mind this is for people with a strictly bodybuilding goal. For anyone else who's just looking to feel fit and healthy and strong Deadlifts are fantastic for strengthening your back & legs and have a great crossover to daily life, especially as you get older.

Y’all are so hollow headed. This dude is a bodybuilder, he aims to educate other bodybuilders, he’s not saying they aren’t a good strength exercise. They just do not do a good job of targeting a specific muscle or muscle group in the context of hypertrophy

They’re good for the nervous system. When I’m strong on deadlift I feel strong everywhere else

As someone who primarily works out to be bigger but also wants to be strong, I love deadlifts. I do a modified push, pull, legs, where one of my days is back, hams, forearms and biceps, specifically because I always felt the posterior chain works together on so many exercises.

I used to have back pain when I lifted heavy the

Gonna raise my deadlift by 10 kg tomorrow because of this video

I stopped doing conventional deadlifts for bodybuilding but RDL/SLDL are fantastic for the hamstrings.

There's definitely a thickness of the back, especially in the Erectors that come from heavy deadlifts, which would be hard to match with Isolation work.

RDLs are frickin sweet though, hard to beat

[charlieross]

My traps grew more from deadlifts than it has from anything else, including all types of shrugs. It's so depressing that my lower back is chronically fucked up meaning I can't go as hard or heavy as I would so love.

Those who can deadlift with serious intensity, count your blessings...

Deadlifts are fun for pushing yourself and doing something that’s fucking hard. Teaching your whole body to exert that much force is awesome. For hypertrophic purposes, yeah not the greatest but for a functional lower back or if you have a job where you have to pick shit up all the time or if you ever have to move move furniture, it’s good to have done this movement. It’s a great lift, just gotta make sure it’s pros are aligned with your goals

I'm a basketball player. I periodically go through a hypertrophy phase where I don't deadlift and I'm not playing much bball. When I'm back "in season" (playing several times per week) I deadlift with high load and low volume to maintain. Very efficient.

[HagakureJunkie]

I agree that deadlifts can trash your whole CNS but for overall “Whole body working together” compound lifts are just fantastic

[sorkeror]

Deadlift is one of the most useful lifts in real life.

[devincapela]

As a physical therapist, I love the floor press. I give it to my patients who need to lift heavy, but can’t yet tolerate end range load intensity. I don’t do the floor press myself, because I can get a better load through full ROM with other pressing forms.

[puissance]

I busted my lower back doing deadlifts. I haven't recovered from my previous workout and kept going... I very much regret it because I'm still having issues with my back now. If doing deadlifts, need to do them right and not overdo it.

[drmatt]

Thank you for this. From someone who’s been training almost 5 decades and a practicing DC for 4, I’ll tell you deadlifts train the shitte out of the 5th lumbar disc to the point it explodes!😮

[alexm.s]

My deadlift is my strongest lift.
Its ego. I feel good lifting my heaviest, and why shouldnt i?
My goal is to eventually join the 1k club so i need it for that...
Also i feel my lower back, but in a good way. My hamstrings have also developed nicely because of it.
