Everyone would benefit from learning the deadlift. As you've mentioned, office workers, but also more physical trades -- it's a great way to improve posture and build strength, especially for younger workers.
Plus, once you really get into it, diet improves. When one can feel the effects of the terrible food they ate, people tend to naturally gravitate towards a high protein diet with enough carbs to support their growth. Also helps improve sleep patterns in my experience.
- glangdale 7y agoI've met enough powerlifters to know this isn't remotely true. A lot of people stagger out of heavy PL sessions in search of cheeseburgers. Lots of cheeseburgers. Hard powerlifting sessions can awaken a hunger that is grossly out of proportion to calories burned, which may or may not explain why many powerlifters can't see their feet. With a big enough back arch, you can bounce your bench off your giant belly! I'm being flip - and I've also felt the same effect - i.e. "with all this effort in the gym, let's not act like a f*wit in the kitchen". But it's not guaranteed.
