looking at it from martial arts perspective, deadlift is the best exercise one can do for their lower back and lower back strength is extremely important in fighting as it involves lots of twisting movement

I met Tom in 1984 when he guest posed at the Mr St Louis contest at the Fox Theatre. Super nice guy. I always hoped he'd eventually get a Sandow.

it depends on your body which exercises suits u most. that's it do that

same thing with squats

I do dead lift to strengthen my lower back, not to develop my hams

There is no reason to be alive if you can't do Deadlift .....

Tell that to Rick Boogs!

No. After MANY back problems.

Total legend....

Real men do squats and dead lifts the same day 💪

I alternate with the deadlift bar...works great.

I wonder what Mr Squat Guy over here has to say about Ronni Coleman being on a wheelchair cos of squats

Tom at restaurant:

Waitress: "what will you have sir?"

Tom: "you know, it's strange-I don't see squats anywhere on the menu..."

Yeah there isnt much of reward with deadlifts except getting stronger at it. Everything the deadlift does you can train better with less risk (barbell rows, rdl, hamstring curls etc.) Fyi i am sayong this as a guy who loves to deadlift.

I dont deadlift, below the knee rack pull. Leg curl is a terrible exercise for me

It's the Idiots who can't control their weights and reps only fuck up ......
As long as you listen to your body... Not your brain out of ego.... You're safe....
.
Even i wanna do it daily... It's tempting...
.
But yup.... That feeling after you get off the weights.... No need to control it... Need to accept it first and maintain your pace

Deadlifts are great for athletic training

Deadlift when done right is king.

Deadlifts are extremely risky! My max deadlift was close to 800 lbs at my peak but no way would i even try that in my older age! I stopped deadlifting in my late 30's bcuz of back problems!

Disagree wirh you man. Deadlift improved my back strength along with persons i have trained who had back problems. Its benedits are too numerous to mention here .

If deadlifting is giving you severe back pain….you were doing them wrong

Say no more

Too much risk when you're on too much gear and don't know what you're doing

Nothing wrong with deadlifting on a regular as long as your technique doesn't show up on OE Fitness. I prefer using the trap bar. Solid lift.

Tom platz opinions on any muscles besides legs is meaningless. He couldn’t develop anything else to a level similar to his legs so he became a bottom heavy sideshow.

Is no one talking about the intro??☠️

I did deadlifts with my brother 6 months ago, he didnt tell me about bracing my core, i fucked my back up and its hurt ever since. Fuck deadlifts

Nope. I'm 53 & still dealing strong!

I rarely ever physically cringe during these videos, but this one got me 💀

I like light rdl, best results! Other than that ham curls and Nordic curls feel better for my hamstrings than deadlifts

Why is lee priest calling me a wanker in the beginning lol💀💀

Lee Priest cameo at the start

No.

I'm 16 and I'm not gonna stop deadlifting because I just hit a new pr of 425 and I wanna get 500 by the end of the year lol

Roids are riskier 😂

I could say the same for the squat and bench press.

I don’t care

I do DLs three times a week. Favorite exercise After Squats. Absolutely love the strength you feel after three four sets of DL

I think he does not like powerlifting he is is just squatting and with that legs he has he scared of doing deadlift 😅

I will never stop

Ronnie Coleman agrees

Really honest, always tells the shortest and the safest way to do everything.

THERE IS NO REASON TO BE ALIVE IF YOU CAN NOT DO DEADLIFT

This is taken out of context. He was talking specifically about SLDLs for hamstrings. Literally in the same conversation he talks about how he still did standard deadlifts for back development. Tom just felt that using deadlifts as a hamstring builder put too much strain on his back, and it felt unsafe; but he says they're a great back builder.

That’s why Ronnie is crippled now

Not gonna stop deadlifting till I’m too old to do it😂

Picking shit off the ground and putting it back down.. totally useless

Weighted back extensions for me, the pad keeps your hips straight, sends blood into the targeted area better, and has much less margin for error.

Problem with dead lift is that its easy to slip into ego lifting with bad form
