Why do so many big fuckers deadlift massive weights then?

>>76553977
Jeets and zoomers will never admit it, but literally nothing will give you massive back like deadlifts. If I couldn't do anything else, I'd do deads, squats, chins and dips.

Dyel "Fuck Your Shit Up In 2 Sets" McDonald on his way to make another thread while also grasping at sour grapes.

>>76553977
Counterpoint, how is it that deadlifts have some of the most DYEL skellies pulling big numbers compared to other lifts? Lyle is ultimately correct that they’re a poor hypertrophy movement and RDLs are objectively better.

>>76553977
ronnie can deadlift big weight because he is big

he did not solely get to deadlifting big weight because he deadlifted more and more weight up to that point, he did all other kinds of bodybuilding exercises for his legs that made them that large

Rack pulls are honestly a better version of dls for mid/upper back

>>76554008
I've never seen these people with good leverages pull more than 5-6 plates.

>>76554074
1170 lbs?

>>76553994
Any other dedicated back exercise like rows, shrugs, or rack pulls will give you a bigger back than diddlies.
Just say you like deadlifting and continue to do it. Your preference for deadlifts however does not bend reality and suddenly make it good for back hypertrophy.

Do people think otherwise? I thought it was common knowledge deadlits are better for strength expression and general conditioning.

okay, not 800 lbs specifically but this is jonnie candito (a powerlifter) deadlifting 500 pounds for 9 reps

does this look like an impressive physique to you? from the waist up he looks like he barely trains

>>76554211
First of all, his quads are massive, and from whatever we can tell through that shirt his arms look decent size. Not only that, I just looked him up on YouTube and he looks good when he's lean/flexing AND he has been deadlifting for the past 14 years. Also 500 vs 800, lmao.

>>76554008
>they’re a poor hypertrophy movement and RDLs are objectively better.
I think dls with a long hold are good for traps and forearms, including appearance.

>>76554211
>from the waist up he looks like he barely trains
You clearly see forearm muscle, biceps and triceps despite him being high in BF. What would he look like if he slimmed down?

But yeah he made a video on how he looked better back when he did bodybuilding training and how despite him being the strongest he ever has he look worse then what he did.

>>76553962
garbage? no
suboptimal? i guess? but the hyperoptimization mindset for exercise is stupid, there's a general range of effectiveness for movements and programming and anything that falls within it can work for some better than others, if you enjoy deadlifting its a movement where you get to move big weights, which helps build mental and physical endurance, which in turn allows you to push yourself harder in other sets now that you know what an actual hard rep feels life
on the other hand if they hurt or you simply dont like them there's plenty to replace them with, but you are not gonna stay small or blow up just because of 1 exercise

>>76554211
>from the waist up he looks like he barely trains
he doesnt look bodybuilder big and delts could certainly use work but you are crazy if you think he looks small

>>76554211
He looks solid, you can't get substantially larger than your frame without gear

>>76553977
Genetic outliers. The top 1% of humans are very strong and you can't ever become them.
Furthermore people who deadlift are relatively rare in the sphere of fitness and I'd guess 90% of thosexor more have been training for many years using many different techniques and only a tiny part of that was deadlifts. Not many jacked dudes have deadlifts as their main lift if at all.
You see Eddie Hall or Thor and think it's the cheat code to unlock a big build but it's not. It's just another lift. Far more men have gotten big without deadlift

Deadlifts are an exercise for the glutes, spinal erectors, adductors and hamstrings.

He literally competed in powerlifting and has coached powerlifters

Jo Palacios has one of the best backs in bodybuilding right now and never deadlifts. Fun fact: He does not barbell row either.

>>76553977
Most bodybuilders will tell you the only reason they deadlift is because moving big weights is fucking fun, not because it does much for their physique. Plenty of them also don't deadlift at all or stopped deadlifting at some point, because it grows their waist too much and is too much risk for too little reward. They all do RDLs or stiff legged deadlifts though.

>>76555565
> too much risk for too little reward. They all do RDLs or stiff legged deadlifts though
This is the correct answer.

>person with body A has great leverages and swears deadlifts are a gift from God

Same shit for every exercise. Same shit in every thread.

>>76555555

>>76555565
>Deadlifts are garbage for hypertrophy
>Deadlifts grow the waist
Which one is it?
Also, variations of deadlifts are deadlifts.

>>76554008
>DYEL skellies pulling big numbers
>RDLs are objectively better

yeah no shit, because maxing out isn't optimal for hypertrophy compared to just lower weight volume. The actual deadlift exercise is good though

>>76555565
>Plenty of them also don't deadlift at all or stopped deadlifting at some point, because it grows their waist too much
Deadlifts don't grow your waist, but taking androgenic anabolic steroids and anabolic peptides that make all of your soft tissues grow while overeating and training your obliques and rectus abdominis will.
> They all do RDLs or stiff legged deadlifts though.
There is little difference between deadlifts, RDLs and SLDLs since they all load the spine along with its extensors, glutes, hams and a bunch of other muscles on your thighs.

The difference is people go full retard with normal deadlifts instead of doing sets of >5, deadlifting heavy is cool but going for higher reps is arguably more useful (RDLs are goated anyway)

>doing deadlifts for hypertrophy

>itt: dyels defending dl because that's one of the very few exercises they think they're good at because the actually yoked guys at their gyms don't do them so they don't have a point of reference
it's not a great exercise if safety and hypertrophy are your priorities
honestly the main selling point is that you can load a lot of weight which looks good on paper
I can't even blame you kids for buying into this shit because I spent years deadlifting heavy (because this is what the internet told nerds to do at that time) and didn't really benefit from it in any meaningful way expect for contributing to my spinal injuries
but seriously though, don't overdo this stuff, there's little to gain, obsessing about lower body exercises is nerdy af and your spine is at stake
spend more time training your forearms and calves so you actually look like an athlete and not a t-rex bitch nerd

>>76554211
Big boy

>>76554211
If this looks like a DYEL to you then you have retarded standards. Aside from his legs since you said waist up, his forearms are 1.5x that of a normal guy and his arms and pecs are like 2x normie non-lifters

>>76554211

yes. 5plate dadlift with no wristwraps is strong asf.

>>76554211
Careful with your non deadlifting back moving those goalposts
>skellie
>good physique
He is thick as fuck, yes, doesn't look like he has boulder shoulders or mad traps, but also doesn't look like he has ever raided. You are weak.

>>76556744
A more accurate description would be his physique is easily attainable witout ever deadlifting. He doesn't look particularly better from deadlifting. The whole argument is that deadlift is some big guy hack. It's the opposite really. Practically any routine will net similar results or better. Also I'm sure Candito does a whole plethora of lifts

>muh looks

the glassback DYELs are endless yet they critique powerchads as if they are on the same level.

>>76556936
I can max out a back extension machine I don't think my back is ever going to be weak from not deadlifting. I could have a 500lb human on my back while laying face down and easily yeet them off me.

>>76556925
>The whole argument is that deadlift is some big guy hack. It's the opposite really. Practically any routine will net similar results or better.

Exactly correct

The only downside I can see to not deadlifting is spinal erectors

Everything else you get from a deadlift you can target more directly with other lifts

pretty much never because I'm not a manual laborer. The dozen days of the year I need to it's with a modified squat because of how much safer of a movement it is

prove wrong, you can't

no deadlifts or squats = no gains
i've never seen someone that's big that is not able to lift really heavy

basement bodybuilding doesn't do squats or conventional deadlifts

he does variations like stiff legged deadlifts and hack squats, but not conventional barbell squats and no conventional/sumo deadlifts

>>76558281
>he doesn't squat, but does squat and deadlift variations more suited for hypertrophy
I don't view him but I can guarantee at some point in the past he did the full retard bulk powerfat thing
most big people did, then either went on to lift stupid weights as a bloatlord or slimmed down and became more fizeek oriented
is it "optimal"? not at all, but I fail to see how you learn this game and stay with it without that initiation

>605lb deadlift

yeah man he only built his entire physique on the big 3 then transitioned into doing bodybuilding-style training. quitting them in his 7th year of lifting doesn't negate the impact it would have on his physique.
how much would he be able to deadlift if he trained it again? this is what i'm saying. not necessarily that he doesn't deadlift right now but IF he tested his deadlift max today, it would be very high because of carryover from other lifts, like the sldl which is just a fucking deadlift with less knee bend.

>>76558320

Well the back extension machine was like 300 lbs or so I did 10 reps of that fully untrained and was not even remotely fatigued. I might need a few weeks to acclimate to 500lbs on my back but I've had over 600lbs on my back so I know what weight feels like.

I can extend my back with over 300lbs on it 10 times bare minimum. 500lbs once shouldn't be hard. I know what 600lbs+ feels like so I have no clue what point you're trying to make.

Deadlift surely hits more body parts than any other exercise, but the thing is, it doesn't excel the other focused ones except the glutes and hamstrings, which are the main targets of deadlift not back, and you can do that without any risks that deadlift has with leg curls and squats. It is truly a mishmash exercise for good or bad with considerable injury risk, so it's your choice. Dorian Yates always carefully avoided any risks but he did DL, but not squats. Besides Tom Platz was the opposite.

>>76554008
Because the barbell is in a fixed position. Therefore some bodies have an extremely good leverage over it. Manlets with longer legs and even freakishly longer arms will have a deadlift that's 200-300lb higher than their squat.

>>76554902
Top 1% isn't that difficult. If you lift 225 on the bench you're already within the global top 1% of strength.

Top 1% of serious lifters (3-4x / week with focus on strength) in the 18-45 age category? Yeah that's a lot more difficult.

>>76553962
