Got drafted out of high school to play pro baseball...then after 6 years of that...played college football....lifted consistently for 20 years now...6'5 275lbs ...bench 400 squat 500... deadlift is asking for back problems. Especially for tall guys
I envy you guys who got started early. Ive only been at it a few years.
Im real short and deadlift kills my lower back. SI joint.

I am not a huge proponent of deadlifts even though I know it's all the craze these days....I think squats are a much better more natural exercise....I trained with very strong in amazing shape guys 20 years ago when I started and none did them....I have been doing this for a long time and had some of the best trainers and coaches....my knowledge comes from real life experience not like these internet experts....to start getting in great shape I wouldn't recommend deadlifts

That's a great lift! Is he in great shape? I just don't see the muscle benefit ...though they give you a good base and are great for burning fat
