Have fun snapping your back before you hit 40

Deadlifts are also massively overrated for hypertrophy

They are too physically taxing and you are better off using your energy for other exercises

I completely agree. At first glance they appear to be the ultimate lift. Low reps, high weight and uses tons of muscles. But the problem is I could hit those same muscles deadlift uses more frequently while still recovering from deadlift. Then there's the fact that due to the larger amount of weight being used, little mistakes can be less forgiving injury wise. Some people seem to recover faster from deadlift than others and never get hurt doing it but that's atypical. If you can deadlift twice a week and never make mistakes and not have the recovery be a detriment to any of your lifts then more power to you. I'd rather do other lifts than don't leave me feeling wasted for a week at a time.

Deadlifts and Squats are literally the only way to get BIG and STRONG.

Enjoy bench press then? Because you will stay small forever doing chest and shoulders.

>Deadlifts and Squats are literally the only way to get BIG

This is what SS fags actually believe

Deadlifts are not necessary to be big at all.

>there are literally only 3 exercises

Hows your second week of SS/SL going?

I cut out deads and squats and just do trap bar DLs in a kind of squat form for lots of volume and pretty much everything is growing better, now.

I have more energy for upper body focused workouts due to the easier recovery, and my low back never gets in the way of my back work now.

When I didn't have money for weights.

Doing them light might be good tho.

Id never go under 15 reps comfortably per set. 60% max or less. Just for that GH gains.
