Deadlifts are worthless compared to squats. Its pathetic really. >I can lift some shit up wow vs >I can carry a tree drunk on my back while crouching up and down
face it, deadlifts are for people who either dont know how or are scared of doing squats because it looks silly
How are you going to get that tree trunk on your back if you can't deadlift it properly? Ya dumb faggot
Brody Nguyen
if you can squat good numbers you can deadlift good numbers. OP, you must suck at both and don't do both.
Nathan Murphy
I've noticed that strongman competitors still squat to build lower body strength as an accessory for events like deadlift, similar to how they still bench to build upper body strength as an accessory to overhead events
Jose Phillips
>I can lift some shit up wow Literally the thing that you're most likely to need strength for outside of the gym.
Can’t tell if that’s a typo or not, cause either way it works.

The caber toss mostly resembles the deadlift tho since the pick up and the throw have is mostly a hip hinge though.
Luke Walker
OP absolutely shit on
Mason Hughes
occasionally but very rarely comes up as opposed to some form of deadlift, carry and press which is in just about every single comp
Alexander Collins
So in the gym you do diddlysquat?
Brandon Allen
What kind of retard only does one or the other? They work opposing muscle groups, fuckwad. That’s like saying “why do dips when you can do pull-ups :^DDDD”
Deadlift will help you pick up heavy shit. Lots of practicality there, loads of applications Squats will let you effectively take a shit even if one or two people are trying to tackle you. Very specialized lift
Aiden Reed
Football players deadlift for the sport dumbass
Gavin Hill
Yep. Bet Eddie Hall or some other strongman or powershitter is gonna beat a dyel in a 100m Sprint BTW, sprints are not the only athletic endeavour retard
James Cruz
It was a for example, Eddie Hall is going to be an out-lier in any context, one out-lier doesn't disprove a statistical association, and "retard" is a hate word.
Tyler Johnson
t. fat manlet faggot who thinks he's hot shit because he can bounce his stump legs off his fat bitch gut for a 205 pound squat while being totally unable to deadlift 135 pounds.
Blake Brown
>le ebin centrist go kys!
Blake Kelly
If you deadlift and squat you'll be able to deadlift, or squat, more than if you had just done one.
Mason Gomez
Sure thing retard, you didn't refute my argument. Most people who deadlift a lot are gonna be fat powershitters, so your correlation between high deadlift and fast sprints is literal garbage
Caleb Roberts
squatting does infinitely more for my deadlift than deadlifting does for either.
Grayson Rogers
>Being able to pick heavy stuff up is useless.
Hahaha the cope from this deadliftlet
Robert Taylor
Squats do fuck all for your forarm strength.
But I kinda get your point. Deadlifts aren't really necessary, you can get similar results with squats and rows, but you would get even bigger and stronger if you do squats, rows AND deadlifts or at least rack pulls.
Christian Morales
it's deadlift to bodyweight ratio, not absolute deadlift
Lucas Scott
Based highland games, wish I had something like that here.
Cameron Hernandez
Read the sentence in very carefully, brainlet user.
Joseph Brown
>I can carry a tree drunk on my back while crouching up and down
How are you going to put it on your back if you don't have the strength to pick it up, retard?
Makes sense. Deadlifting for quads is like doing quartersquatting and it works your hamstrings the most, sadly hamstring usage in squats is minimal. So squatting increases your deadlift but not vice versa.
Camden Allen
This. Front squat is the best DL accessory for me.
Juan Myers
Not true. Deadlifts build posterior chain strength and you need a strong posterior chain to squat heavy.
Isaiah Kelly
All throwing and swinging sports start from the ground up. From your toes to your hands. The deadlift is a better movement to improve this power than ANY other exercise. In short, fuck off, you little bitch.
Jonathan Gray
nice chalk pl8s
