    It's good for building back and hip strength. As long as you're not pushing it to the limit then it's a safe lift that you can benefit from. If your goals are just to look good though and not to be as strong as possible you'd be better off doing RDLs and good mornings.

      You are forgetting chin ups, dips and front squats if you want to look good, imo front squats are better hypertrophy wise and posture correction than back squats and allow you to use them for real situations.

        because the deadlift and dips are comparable exercises

          you aren't an athlete and don't do anything athletic, though

          and in fact, even the possibility of doing athletic things is more or less removed from normal people after high school years

          what do you do that's athletic? nothing. unless youre like 16

        The thing was that he was acting tough about a 4.5pl8 deadlift, and sumo at that. I don't think of anything under 300kg as impressive, but at the same time it's fine if people don't go heavy on them. It's cringe if a stick tries to think that having a mid deadlift somehow makes them muscular though, when honestly there's bigger guys at my gym that don't even go over 2pl8 on deadlifts

            I didn't say that. Just that there's decently muscular guys at the gym that don't go heavy. If they tried and were willing to take the risks associated with the lift, they could probably reach 200+ kg pretty quickly. But for people that focus on getting stronger on the lift, I do indeed say that anything sub 300kg is not impressive as I've seen skinny people and women with good levers lift it, especially with sumo. You can go on youtube and find dyel guys with 14" arms pulling 5-6pl8 easily, sometimes even 7pl8 like that dyel Max Chewning

              You have never seen a woman pull 300kg sumo. Also you’ve never seen a woman’s vagina in real life, so you should probably stick to your “big and muscular guys”. I’ll stick to my deadlifts.

      In which areas tho?
      I saw a lot more carryover to other exercises from high bar squats in the 3 - 6 rep range than from deadlifts.
      If you do weighted pull ups/chin ups deadlifts can be a problem to program correctly.

        soreness, I think it might be doms. I've only been doing deadlifts for a few weeks and this is the heaviest I've done, but still within my limits. I looked up deadlift back pain and it said this type of aching can be normal when you're first starting out. guess I'll see if it disappears in the next couple of weeks.
        also getting down into position in the mirror my lower back looks straight and I don't feel any rounding when I do the lift.

    Before atlas stones, sandbags, and other similar implements were more easily available, it was a highly practical way to improve your ability to pick things up from the ground. If you can't understand the utility in that, go back to your desk chair and wait to die.
