Bodybuilders HATE The Deadlift (Is It Justified?!) 

Man you can't be cheating on Leon Edwards.

Bro tried sneaking in a woman instead of Leon Edwards 💀💀

As a person who loves deadlifts, I love deadlifts

Gymnasts aren’t jacked because of hypertrophy from stabilization, it’s because of strength skills like let’s say planche, front lever, etc, that recruit fibers in your delts, biceps and lats like crazy. It’s the main muscle groups in the compound movements they do that make them grow, not any stabilizers to the same extent. This is why gymnasts are only well trained in the main upper body muscles.

Leon Actually Taking Rest after Beating Kamaru Usman and Getting Promoted by Mario💀

This man about to make 10 videos about leon beating usman because of his athletic body 😭😭😭

Can’t wait to see the videos on the leon win 😤

Good exercise just not for everyone. I snapped my back doing deadlifts and they never felt the same after I healed

The problem with deadlift and a lot of compound exercises is that you cannot effectively target an individual muscle group and train to failure, so the whole point of it training multiple muscle groups at once isn’t that helpful if you can’t effectively target any of them.

a back that isn’t in constant pain>>

Not worth the risk, unless you know exactly what you're doing at all times.

Stimulus to fatigue left the chat….deadlift is my favourite exercise but as a man with a job, I prefer not being exhausted for 2 days straight, 4days a week

I didn't hear any of them say they suck! They said there the best exercises for size and strength

I never do dead lifts because I'm taller than average, and the risk it proposes to the back far outweigh any bonus it gives

There is a difference between activation and the muscles actually being broken down, for the most part deadlifts just activate and lightly work most of the lower back shown from most study’s

Deadlifting is an extremely good bang for your bulk exercise if performed correctly. However, it doesn't lead to hypertrophy so the tiktok lifters are CORRECT. Most gains are made from the eccentric (descent) part of the lift, but most people do deadlifts only on the concentric side and then drop the weight. Moreover, there's little time under tension since people try to lift it explosively which reduces muscle fibre tears and thus hypertrophy. The deadlift is heavily taxing on your CNS (central nervous system), making it excellent for strength gains but due to the nature of the exercise there is little muscle gain from it. You also cannot train deadlifts to muscular failure, as you will reach CNS failure before then and will feel too fatigued. Most people do multiple sets of 1-3 reps, which as we scientifically have proven to be insufficient for substantial hypertrophy. Exercises done within the 5-30 range produce hypertrophy results, and doing sets of 1 reps isn't going to do that

The only reason people don’t do deadlifts is because they are one of the most dangerous workouts for any age group to do. You can get serious back problems if you use to much weight without proper form

I don't do deads because even a trap bar flares up my back problems, and I play volleyball so I can't be having backpain all the time. That being said, if I could do them I would

Sprinters are super jacked because when you do sprints your hgh levels increase for the next few days. Increasing up to 300% depending on how much your run.

Word. Its about the only movement you can load so much and it trains nervous system power production like nothing else ever. And this carries over to your typical hypertrophic and isolation moves.

If I compare the year I didn’t deadlift with the year I did deadlift it’s crazy how much the deadlift helped my overall profession. Definitely do it once a week and stay in 4-8 range. No need to go above 8 or below 4 unless you want to test your 1RM.

It’s just annoying to recover from. My cns is fried after heavy deads. I had better gains when I didn’t do deads. Also for some reason my legs put on muscle really fast and my upper body doesn’t…

I like how in the beginning when he says body builders say He is showing Robert Who is a power lifter who says That Dead lifts are not with it Because of the risk of injury

Dont tell me you broke up with Leon 🤧

imagine if the woman and mascot were the same person.

He literally said in the interview that the risk to reward was bad when you got into higher and heavier weights. It wasn’t because he was lazy.

Bro is giving Leon a rest following his win on the weekend. Deserved recharge time

the first guy really said his honest reaction

The first guy in the video is Robert Oberst, a strongman not a bodybuilder.

My heart is always racing on my deadlift days

That's Robert oberst a world strongman competitor. He said if your traing for anything other than powerlifting that deadlift has a high risk to reward ratio. Obviously the deadlift will gain you strength an muscle but it's a risky lift considering you can tear arm, leg, or back muscles if your not careful.

Man, Romanian Deadlifts are literally my favorite exercise

That dude is a strong man ex power lifter he said “it has no benefit to someone who’s not a power lifter” which I as a power lifter agree, it’s just our competition based lifts, or you wanna grow to an RDL

Leon Edwards left the chat 😢

He asked for "muscle and STRENGTH", so i think when they said deadlifts they thought about strengty

If someone tells you to not deadlift, don’t talk to that person again.

Personally I can squat wayyy more than I can deadlift. But that is because I lost my deadlift form and injures my back, sadly now I can’t even backswaut because it injures my back wayyy worse

The reason people say to not do them is bc there are better ways to build muscle without deadlifting, the injuries that come from deadlifts aren’t worth it if u pursue bodybuilding

Deadlifts demand the most energy and are also not safe to begin with why would I do an exercise that takes minimum 30 minutes and snatches my soul when I could go target specific parts of the back

Tom platz says I shouldn’t do deadlifts to build muscle I am not going to do that. On the other hand I play football and the strength and stability gains k get from that are very beneficial. So if I was just building muscle I wouldnt do deadlifts, if you are training for a sport or just purely strength I would do deadlifts

True. It's only when you load too much weight, is when you get hurt. That's with almost any lift though. Deadlifts are riskier to do than other lifts in general though.

some college and pro football teams don’t allow deadlifts due to potential injuries

i’ve seen 3 deadlifting videos now. the first was agreeing with someone, then the second was him hating on that same guy. this is the third

Dawg, the deadlift also has a huge injury rate and there are more exercises that help isolate a muscle group. I don’t want to tear my bicep dude

Idk the name of the first guy shown, the very first it's just his pic the one with beard, but I listened to him on Rogan say it's not worth it unless you have to. Never did them until 6 months ago and I'm obsessed. I don't try and max out, but they are an absolute necessity for strength

bro are you trying to tell me i should trust mike o hearn?🤣

Rdls and rows are better for building muscle and less fatiguing so you can fit in more of the other stuff while making the same posterior chain and back gains.

I want a gymnast physique right now

back at it with bro science

I have to disagree, the risk to benefit racial is a joke with dead lifts, you see a lot of big muscular guys that do them, and you’ll also see a lot of muscular guys that don’t. They aren’t necessary. The most injuries come from deadlifts to. If you are a power lifter, then great do them

I skipped deadlifts entirely for my first 10 months of lifting im only starting to do them now

I have herniated discs, can’t do deadlifts anymore 😢

Bro what? Homie was saying how the reward to risk ratio was not good enough for deadlifts to be worth it. And I’m taking his word over yours any day of the week

I've disagreed with you before but I agree with you here. The best reason to not do deadlifts is just to avoid injury. As a muscle building exercise is as good as "good" goes.

Aye bro fuck with anyone but Mike'ohearn

Do you know who the first guy is? He is Robert Oberst, a professional strongman mind you dead lifting is a major part in your training as it trains the most use muscle groups and lift is even used in events and the reason he said don't do deadlifts is he says if you're in a different sport don't do them because of the risk to reward ratio

during the fight i kept thinking 'damn his physique is really aesthetic' cuz of you lmao

Ok man but what if my ball got twisted

How can you not like deadlifts they make you feel insane

Deadlift is also one of the most dangerous lifts in the sense that it has a lot of risk of injury and not that much to gain which is why a lot of sports athletes aka the body type this dude tells us we should try to look like don’t deadlift why risk the injury when you can grow those muscle groups on safer exercises

Davis Diley's form was amazing

Oh lord have mercy,we must stay focus brother

The song is called 'Doja' and it's from A$AP Rocky & $NOT

I like deadlifts but i don’t want to have a f*d up back when i’m like 30

Bro said Kevin LeRvone is a TikTok bodybuilder 😂

We’ll straight dead’s aren’t that good for strengthening the hamstring, trap bar dead’s are or RDL’s, because in straight bar your more compact and it feels like your using other muscles more than the hammy (at least in my case) and also RDL’s you can hit a nice little tempo going up, down, or holding, working you hamstrings more than what’s deadlift would

Leon where did you go :C

even OLD SCHOOL LEGEND Tom Platz says deadlifts aren't worth the risk......

I actually agree. Bad for building size but it's the quintessential exercise for performance. I think if you wrestle or do mma then it's the #1 lift followed by squat

The traditional deadlift is less effective at building muscle than an RDL. The RDL also offers less risk of injury

My friend Said deadlifts were bad for your back because it hurts your backs but now I will do them

I’ve personally never heard a body builder say that dead lifts are bad?

Bruh the clip of a ‘tiktok bodybuilder’ literally had a guy bigger than you 💀

To be fair, the first guy is a power lifter, and he actually compete at Deadlifts, so if my guy is an expert in the field and telling you not do it, its a bit different then any body builder. I think deadlifts are just hard man, the glutes are suppose to be the primary movers, but there is almost no way the low back doesn't kick in, as you fatigue, and pushing towards failure. I'm a physical therapist, and I see it quite often. Also I think some people aren't made for it, I got short arms and I have to get so low to the ground to pick up the standard 45 with barbell. I think rack pulls is safer solely for the fact you can adjust how high the bar is. I just made a video on this talking about how deadlifts are bad xD.

“And this is why Leon edwards has a good back”

No one says they are bad for building muscle , its more about possibilty for injuries (according to rhem not me )

shout out to Tanner ,he’s a G

The thing is deadlift is not à bad exercice is that there is better exercice to target the back

When I hear “risk to reward” I instantly cringe

"bodybuilders" literally first image is a strongman.

It's not that deadlifts are bad for building muscle, it's that there are other exercises with a better ROI. Deadlifts are also very easy to perform incorrectly, so they're a very injury heavy exercise amongst beginners.

High risk low reward

We know it builds muscle, but if you don’t do them perfectly you will destroy your back

Cheating on Leon right after he defends his belt.

My back hurts when I do them, I’ll stick to squats and rows like Tom platz

He had a video a few months ago saying deadlifts were bad.

They never said its bad, just isn’t the most optimal, and most people don’t even do it with proper form. Quite a few elite power lifters have said they wouldn’t recommend it.

Where do you implement deadlifts in PPL

I’m just glad I can roll my ass out of bed to go to the gym

You havn't listened to ryan oberst in that clip, i swear he just mentions that its not worth the risk of injury.

Don’t do this if you have scoliosis (It hurts so much )

The thing is that deadlifts are likely to cause injury. Doing them enough to build significant amounts of muscle means you are likely to get some sort of lower back injury or strain

They are great for your legs and lower back but that’s it I never hope to see someone doing deadlifts for upper back

I don't think people think they don't work, I think they mean the injury risk is greater than other exercises

Tom platz : squat bette lmao

This was a hit chief 🫡

The power of Mario helped Leon outclass Usman

Headshot bang

Like jake dalton bro damn

I can't do deadlifts my back somehow always manage to arch
