Deadlifter's Creed
-
Can't wait to print this out and hang it over my fireplace.
-
How much did Lee Priest pay for that deadlifters manties?
-
good work cropping out the spotters holding the weight for you
-
Why'd they use a midget in that pic? Epic range of motion, fake plates and stupid camera fluffer to hide details.
Outed!
-
Sure a midget and shorter range of motion a filter was used...but 485 at 129 is 485 at 128..

Must be a photo from before 2000s...I don't see a big thick towing chain hanging from this neck. ::)

The 90's called. They want their sweater tied around the waist back.

All these ghey meme's these days about lifting. (Doing battle, going to war) ??? ::)

Why does he have a sweatshirt tied around his waist?
-
It appeals to the meme-generation . another tired cliche for mindless millennials
-
just another validation seeker
sad

"with all your soul"

Shows how the average gym rat is perceived: a 14yo and clearly not the sharpest one in his age class.

The only Creed I need!

129? What the fuck are you like 4'6'' or something. Also fuck you for that stupid verse, deadlift is an excercise you do at the gym, nothing more
-
Like it. Thanks.

...and the 80's are on hold wanting their balloon pants and shoulderless "Gorilla Wear" sweat shirts back

Overrated exercise. Drama queen caption.

I would love to know how the deadlift is overrated.

Outed as having a weak deadlift

Outed as having a weak deadlift
Not weak. 515 doing them inconsistently. Could be a lot bigger if I made it the focus of my routine. High numbers in a deadlift aren't really impressive though. Old women and teenaged girls can move hundreds of pounds on this lift.

Life Fitness machine seated rows FTW

Standard deadlift is a great exercise for a beginning bodybuilder helps you build a strong foundation but once you have been working out for a few years there is no reason to do them anymore, if you want a strong lower back do rack deadlifts, you want to focus on the hamstrings do stiff legged or romanian deadlifts.

If you feel that way, that's great, but what I'm saying is that most other free weight back exercises and leg exercises are superior to deadlifts. Deadlift warriors love them because it is so easy get decent numbers on that lift. You don't see elderly women doing bent over barbell rows with 2+ plates.

Sorry to disappoint you.

deadlifts engage something like 80% of the entire skeletal muscle in your body and are the single best test of overall strength, that's why some pride themselves in the lift.

A strong deadlift is also a requirement for almost every strength activity. You will never see a strength athlete (who isn't a cripple) with a poor deadlift.

al is still butthurt over the response to his last deadlift tirade

Sorry to disappoint you.
How is this disappointing me? She IS old and DEADLIFTING. She is not old and doing bentover rows. You can find many examples of old people deadlifting a lot of weight. You cannot find many examples of old people doing bentover rows or most other free weight exercises with lot of weight.

Bullshit ::)
No, it's completely accurate.

They are a terrible gauge of strength. Having a decent deadlift is not reflective of your strength on any other exercise. As for how much they engage your structure, I posted this a little while ago in a thread about chin ups:
I have a theory about why deadlifting is overrated and it applies to chins to a certain degree, too. You engage so many muscles in deadlifting that you can compensate for a weak point in your lift without really gaining strength like you would on most compound exercises, back or otherwise. Chins are a back and arm exercise, but they also engage abs, legs and chest in a way that seated lat pulls don't. (You're probably saying "if you use legs to do chins, you're doing them wrong", but even doing them strictly, there is a degree of body motion that you use to complete a rep. The more difficult the rep, the more you use. Check out the leg movement on the guys in the video posted upthread.) I think chins can do a lot for your strength and physique, but I think there's a limit to how close it will get you to a bodybuilder-type back, even with added weight.

??? Then where are these vids of old ladies doing bent over rows?
Here's another old post from me in which I posted vids of a bunch of "beasts" deadlifting:
Disagree.
Okay, I get that a powerlifting routine is different from a daily fitness/bodybuilding routine, but you don't typically see guys who look like this putting up impressive numbers on bp or squat.
This guy's physique isn't bad, but there is such a massive disparity between the impressiveness of his bench and deadlift that, IMO, it goes beyond the idea that some people are just stronger on certain lifts.
He can pull 600 lbs but never goes above 2 plates bench press.

The video says the guy is 64 years old. Do you realistically think that guy acquired most of his strength in his 60s? Because the deadlifting grandma you posted a video of said she was nearly an invalid before she started deadlifting 2 years prior. Do you realistically think that the guy in that benchpressing video isn't strong in other pressing movements?
Way to cherry pick an argument and completely miss the point. ::)

Plenty of Deadlifters tearing biceps.

Hard to watch.
