Say I’m the biggest. The largest. Been stepping up since my mama stayed in them apartments. Regardless, my daddy told me, keep the heat even when I’m in. How is she positioned here? It’s the start of a deadlift. You see, there’s a growing trend of people that say deadlifts aren’t worth it. Here’s my response. First, I would agree if you live with bad technique, because lifting with poor technique increases risk of injury. But that’s why we stress technique over weight. We learn how to brace our core, engage our entire body, and move about our hips when deadlifting. Others will say they’re not optimal for back hypertrophy. I’d agree, but argue that’s not the point. The deadlift is a hinge movement. The prime mover are the hips. The back is working isometrically to limit spine motion. But the go to powerlifting city. He’s never met a strong man with a weak back. So they still work those muscles very well. So if you only train your back like this, you may develop muscles that show, but not movement patterns that help you go. And that’s why everyone should deadlift in some capacity and variation.
