It builds strength and muscle shape. However, I don't want to be this strong meatball. I want the mobility first and foremost. My goals have changed. This is why I asked about a calisthenics program. Typical strong cali translates to very strong lifts. Very rarely does it go the other way around. Strong lifters are rarely good calis.

Oberst's evidence for this claim is entirely anecdotal, and I don't think it's accurate. Here's a more evidence based opinion: https://forum.barbellmedicine.com/forums/training-q-a-with-dr-jordan-feigenbaum-and-dr-austin-baraki/72867-deadlifts-is-it-worth-it https://forum.barbellmedicine.com/forums/training-q-a-with-d... There's far more involved in injury risk than a specific type of exercise. The guys at Barbell Medicine have a lot of content that you may find useful with regard to these ideas.
