"Deadlifts are pretty much a pointless exercise "
« on: March 16, 2009, 04:22:04 PM »
I went to the gym on Saturday and it was practically empty. I was on the exercise bike making phone calls, then this guy who works at the gym (counter person) taps me on the back and tells me that there are no phones allowed. I looked around and was like "dude, I am the only one here other than that old dude with headphones on?" He walks away. I did notice that this guy was 'training' to become a trainer. He was shadowing other trainers and i bet he was doing his hardest to kiss up to management so he can get a position. Thus, telling member to follow rules that no one abide by and racking up weights was his ticket to personal trainer paradise. ::) So I get to work today to relay the message to my broskies who work out there too, then one of them said that on Sunday he was doing deads when the 'guy' walked up to him. He asked "what are you training for?" then my boy was like "what do you mean? Im training for myself? " then the trainer wanna be as like ... "Yea, deadlifts are a pretty much useless exercise" then he walked away. I went to the gym just now and asked the trainers "hey what do you think about this statement 'deadlifts are pretty much a pointless exercise'..." they all looked at me and chuckled. The one big trainer bro was like "thats the best exercise period", another was like "its good for sports but you can use other machines if you cant deadlift but its not pointless" then in snitch fashion they asked who said that and I was like  "that fat fuck who is trying to take your jobs" hahahha
As I left I saw that he was brought into an office and got yelled at for such buffoonery.  I was told not to tell anyone that he said that, i told them no problem.  ;) ;) ;) ;)   oh yeah did i mention that this guy is fat. hahahaah

If your goal is to look good for the ladies, deadlifts are pretty much a pointless exercise.

Deadlifts are useless for Bodybuilders.

For Powerlifters of course they are a necessity.

Deadlifts build big hamstrings/glutes.

Disagree. I only lift for ladies and I love deadlifts. They destroy my entire back and especially my traps giving me the wide thick upperback/traps area batista look.

I have pretty much ONLY done deadlifts, plus one or two other exercises every now or then, for the past 2 years. What's my point? Don't know other than I love doing them.  :D

JaeJonna, I agree with you that the guy who said deads are useless is an idiot.  But I have to disagree with you about the phone stuff.  I hate how people have to always be on the phone everywhere.  I don't think my gym has an anti cell phone rule but now I think I might suggest it.

Dude you aren't fat, but if you aren't super skinny than basically any other pose than the vacuum will make you look a lot better.
