It's arguably the most useless ego lift ever. Very inefficient results for the effort required and how badly it taxes the CNS.

It's worthless as a bodybuilding lift.

There are much better lifts to focus on in terms of gaining strength/power in general outside of deadlifting comps.

So yeah, you're not missing out on much to focus your efforts more on other lifts.

I've been doing romanian deadlifts instead lately. Realized I should stop training like a powerlifter when powerlifting isn't even my goal

Deadlift my favorite lift but long rest times and if form isn’t 100% sometimes get pain in lower back for little bit. But otherwise compound lifts are important to becoming an overall chad.

Would these lifts be enough?
Let's say just to maintain muscle mass

Bench press
Squat
Shoulder press
Row
Pullups

3-4 sets

8-10 reps

Twice a week

Stopped doing them years ago srs

My opinion is that all deadlift roads lead to snap city sooner or later. I have no interest in risking my back health.

Deadlifts are terrific. Guarantee everyone itt that's ****ting on them also have a <3 plate bench.

Zercher squats/DLs are also fantastic.

I haven't done traditional deadlifts in a while. I do RDL's.

I prefer RDLs but I’ve cycled normal deadlifts back in for now. Not going for 1 rep max.

Nope, quit quite a while ago. Also, hurt my back more than once from doing them.

Sometimes do relatively light stiff legged ones for hamstrings, but that's it.

Heavy deads built my back. Nothing will give you a thick dense back than deadlifting or some sort of heavy variation. Lol at people who claim you don't need to deadlift to get big when literally 90%+ of ifbb pro's deadlift. Even Jay Cutler the king of volume did rack pulls.

This deranged mentally ill incel doesn’t deadlift. This should be the only reason you need to start deadlifting

When I used to powerlift, my biggest deadlift gains were when I would only deadlift once a month and just squatted all the time like 4-5x per week.

Deadlifting is really hard on your CNS, you’re right about that.

Yet that vast majority of ifbb pros deadlift... Makes sense. Deadlifts built my physique more than any other lift

Deadlift crew checking in. Probably my fav workout

But I don't go too heavy and I don't max out on deadlifts.
Sit in my car on Friday nights so my cat thinks I have a social life crew

Deadlifts are the key to a thick wide back

If you actually compete though rack pulls are sufficient especially when your getting closer to show time you wanna drop all the heavy impact lifts
