So if deadlifts are supposed to be so great..

[rushx79]

i have been lifting seriously for around 6 years and deadlifts are, easily, the most satisfying weight lifting exercise i do. its so simplistic-just you, the bar, and the weights. nothing else. i just started doing them about a year ago and in that year i have had more lower back development than the previous four years combined. whats even better is that deadlifts have pretty much cured the whole reason i avoided doing deadlifts in the first place-a bad lower back. now i have this fucking steel cage around my spine and i feel more solid than ever.

Ummm......no.

Erectors, dude.

They play a static role, as opposed to being a prime mover. Unless you deadlift with a rounded back.

View - you workout in a foo foo pansy ass gym.

That is all.

Deads rule

I went to buy a weight set at Costco or Sams because I am tired of the gym scene.

They carry that rubber band machine now..........Soloflex.

The only people who deadlift are sissies who are scared to do real back exercises.

Like?

It's very sad to be in a gym where when I'm deadlifting it gathers a crowd and they're asking what I'm doing and why. The trainers still try and convince me I don't have to lift so heavy. Ok, and when I want to look like I don't work out, I'll stop lifting heavy...

Besides, I though the CNS stimulation one got from heavy compound movements was the thing that spurs one's body to grow and adapt...

OK If people don`t deadlift, that`s cool, but WHY THE HELL do they "gather round" and watch while you`re doing them? lol I have`nt been to a commercial gym in many years, so I`m not sure how things work there, but are people that pathetic nowadays?

Yes. People stop and stare when I workout. I always think...crap why don't you guys trying doing the same thing instead of watching...we are here to improve our bodies not get a show.

Well, the only time I've seen anyone heavy deadlift is when my brother and I are doing them. Otherwise, what you see is someone SDL with 135lbs and then grunt and groan as if they had 1350lbs.
