Most useless lift for aesthetics? Pic related by far
Purely for ego lifters who think they're strong for pulling 3 plates and banging it in the gym. Meanwhile they are DYEL. Nothing more cringeworthy
The only thing it works out well is the erector spinae and hamstrings and hyperextensions and legs curls are superior exercises for both
Coming from a guy who got 4 plates less than 1 year deadlifting weighing 160 lbs. Worst body of my lifting life by far. Complete waste of time on deadmeme, not to mention injury risk
This is me, 5pl8 deadlift. Obviously im fat as fuck, but if a leaner man were to reach a 5pl8 deadlift, im sure he would be yoked AF

Best joke. Want to hear another? Your 1RM.

Zachary Allen
The most useless lift for aesthetics are wrist curls.
Levi Collins
>160 lbs
why dont you try to get to actual big deadlift numbers then see how you feel about it
Eli Jackson
Thank you. I have been told i look like a giant baby by many people. 26 y.o. Sometimes I also get 'fat retard'
Jonathan Watson
The greatest bodybuilder of all time deadlifted 800 lbs
Hunter Butler
Can you read? He said 4 plates and he weighed 160
Camden Murphy
>I want best lift for aesthetics >hurr deadlift iz 4 ego lul Do you even understand what the word ego means?
user I legitimately think you are retarded. Most of the time calling someone a retard is a joke but your case is an exception.
John Williams
He most certainly did not. >pic related

Lifting to look good and be healthy is a practical and natural aspiration. Strength comes with it, great, but you don't lift so you can DL 5 plates, because that's a meaningless number in reality. It's for your ego only. It doesn't translate to anything, unless you are training as a powerlifter/strongman, or a professional athlete. It wastes your time and energy and leaves you prone to injury
Joseph Wilson
>Deadlifting is only to fuel your ego >I'm bodybuilding so someone will finally love me Really makes you think
Ryder Myers
Lot of soy boys in this thread that don't deadlift, back to planet fitness you go
Wyatt Moore
Google "Oscar Gamble". >pay me
Josiah Kelly
Try to be a little less egotistical yourself and look from another person's point of view. For many, lifting purely for vague long term ideas such as health and such isn't rewarding enough to keep dragging yourself to the gym years on end. But having objectice and measurable goals like hitting certain numbers can keep them motivated to continue while still getting said health benefits.

>tfw last week 2 manlets, Chang and Pedro, were deadlifting for 1 hour, literally the entire duration of my workout. Decked out with belts and lifting shoes and everything. Real serious shit here guys. They maxed out at 2.5 plates and were ugly and DYEL as fuck
Cameron Jackson
If you are shitting on DLs, you aren’t truly big lol
Joshua Ross

Nathan Roberts
>implying big lats have anything whatsoever to do with DL
Yeah what the fuck, contrary to popular opinion girls care a lot about back and legs(specially glutes)
William Harris

>a backpack of pure muscle this must feel amazing
Andrew Phillips
I think everyone knows that, user. People deadlift for strength, not for aesthetics.
Chase King
> not doing deadlifts to get an aesthetic back
I agree deadlifting heavy is pointless but you should still do some every other week.
Robert Sanders
yeah if you wanna be a weak faggot ignore your deadlifts pussy. cringeworthy post OP.
Christopher Brown
Very true. Be careful with lateral raises though bros or anything shoulder relared because that shit is delicate like glass
Evan Davis
But skip legs if your goal is strictly beach muscles

Do you even work delts?

If you think lats have nothing to do with deadlifting you're clearly only pulling 2pl8s

>no weighted dips, pull ups and chin ups People call lats a meme when they aren't. Also dips is great for chest aesthetics

THE DEADLIFT
Pros:
1. It lends itself very well to performing low reps, which makes it useful for developing maximal strength and power. Qualities that are needed in many sports.
2. Because it involves so much total muscle and good leverage one can work up to handling some extremely heavy poundages. This means that it's much easier to make continued progress on the deadlift compared to smaller exercises. A lying leg curl for example is great for training the hamstrings if viewed in a vacuum. But training doesn't happen in a vacuum. The princple of Progressive Overload cannot be violated if you want to see gains. Adding 10 kgs to your 40 kg leg curl, is way harder than adding 10 kgs to your 120 kg deadlift. And while the isolation exercise quickly stalls, the deadlift can be progressed for literally years. And with progress comes gains.
Cons:
1. It is not the #1 exercise for any individual muscle group involved. You will always be able to find a smaller exercise that hits a certain muscle harder/better.
2. Anecdotally as you become stronger, the deadlift has a tendency to take more out of you than it gives back. Whether this is because of the deadstop concentric, due to extreme grip challenge or maybe because it's the ultimate grind lift is unknown.
Dominic Lewis
Building muscle with the deadlift:
If you do 3 reps of deadlifting once a week while pretty much only performing the concentric, is it realistic to expect much growth? Would you expect that from any exercise done this way? The same rules apply as for everything else. If you want to grow, do more reps, more sets and control the eccentric (there's literally no good reason why it shouldn't be possible to control the eccentric btw)
Regarding injury risk:
You are no more likely to get injured deadlifting than doing any other exercise. No single exercise is inherently dangerous. It's how YOU approach the exercise that increases or decreases risk. Factors such as recovery & work capacity, technique, mobility, arousal, proximity to failure etc. are what determine whether you get hurt or not. However, it is true that low back injuries are often particularly painful and debilitating.
Jaxon Peterson
Just hit every muscle group as best you can.

Nathan Brooks
I am scoliotic and before I started deadlifting heavy I used to wake up with immense back pain. Now my posture is better, and I no longer look as crooked.
Brody Mitchell
>I do legcurls instead of deadlift
oh wow, step back we got a real man here boyos
Mason Morales
whoa wojack what happened to you my dude
Carter Perry
then be conservative with your weight and don't push your body when it's already tired. I think people generally get injured when they're ego lifting
