If you look like you lift.
People will think you are strong.
But then who cares what others think.

I know. Deadlifts are a fukkin waste to time. High risk of fukkin your chit up just so other deadlift *******s can mire at the gym.

Would be worse to be DYEL and have a chit deadlift. Better to be ugly and stronk than ugly and weak.

It's a cope to live with the fact that if you're lifting for aesthetics only, i.e. a "bodybuilder", you've been wasting time and energy doing deadlifts.

Now, you say you like having large spinal erectors? Well that's okay but don't expect a bb judge or most other people to appreciate them.

Most bodybuilders train back for lat width and thickness.

I personally train deadlifts AND squats. But only for core strength, not aesthetics.

But it's not really a cope, i do deadlifts because i enjoy them - i think thick spinal erectors is an aesthetic and alpha trait, i'm not trying to win bodybuilding shows. I'm not lifting for pure aesthetics only either, i lift for aesthetics and performance, so it's not really a cope.

I think for some people they will carry little value, it depends on the individual i guess, but guys like arnold and franco did them and rated them highly for bodybuilding.

It's all about leverages and specificity. Try a strength routine and you will be surprised at how strong will you get without adding any body weight at all. When I first did Madcows 5x5 I was progressing every single workout for 2 months, didn't gain 1 gram of bodyweight. Low reps are hard on your joints though...

I actually compete to improve myself not to please some panel of judges.
It's too difficult to please 7 people.

If the judges like my physique I will place and take home some hardware.
If they don't I won't, no big deal.
It's a lot less stressful that way.

Probably the lift with the highest correlation of DYEL and fat fukk:to high numbers ratio, that's for sure.

Can't recall the number of times I've seen some ******* in spandex pants, carrying a notebook and deadlifting huge numbers. Often Sumo as well, which makes it even worse/looks even more ridicolous. brb 2 inch ROM for 2-3 reps, barely any time under tension, hardly a mystery why they look DYEL.

Misc standards are getting higher. First we have the daily if you don't make 200k/yr you're poor threads and now 500lbs on deads are twink mode.

In 5 years time 700lbs will be the new 500 and 400k the new 100k.

Justifying a weak deadlift with 'not being a powerlifter' is pure cope

Dyel can pull heavy and look bad because they do 5 reps for a workout. Its all cns training. Plus sumo, and 6" rom...

My 61 year old father can pull 5 plates, it's not impressive. I maxed out last year 545x15. No cell-tech now so I sit around 6 plates for a triple but maybe once a month. High rep deadlift recover is not worth the minimal hypertrophy. Get better results with rack pulls and rdl and don't feel beat up all the time.

I have given up on rack pulls. I have long arms and I think that might mess it up for me a little bit. Same thing with face pulls. Try to do both occasionally but just don't get it.

Maybe I overdue deadlifts but I can tell you that I mix low and high reps. Start w/ warmup, followed by heavy low reps and then follow with 315 for 5x10. I wouldn't call that useless by any means. If you do them right you're working much more than just your lower back, lol.

The key to success in life (not only strength training) is learning how to deadlift, and deadlifting as heavy as you possibly can.
