I’m pretty sure the deadlift comment would get you into fights in most gyms with power lifters. I’m curious where you have seen that they aren’t beneficial? Everything I’ve read about them puts them firmly into the “best exercises” category.
- Brentward 4y agoNot sure exactly what they meant, but I assume most arguments in this vein have something to do with form. A well-executed deadlift is a great exercise, but you have to balance the risk of injury, especially for new lifters without a trainer or coach to help with their form.
- tstrimple 4y agoSure. But I wouldn’t put them above squats or bench or overhead presses as far as risk of injury goes. It feels like an arbitrary callout.
