so nasser agreed that maybe rack pulls have some point but deadlifts do not
then it's final, if dorian and nasser agree it means it must be true
they are some of the only pro bber who actually put some thought into what they are doing not just throwing around big weights
THANKS
So nasser who was known for having a lagging back said deadlifts are pointless so that confirms it

Yates said he didn't dead lift off the floor because it blows your waist out. well at what point did he stop pulling off the floor then? because he certainly ended up with a pretty hefty waist....
did anyone bother asking him what then was responsible for blowing his own waist out?
And your hero ronnie dead lifted , and his back didn't look too shabby did it?
i have to admit that there are deffo some better physiques than mine in this thread(yours is not one) agreeing with this theory that deadlifting is pointless etc, but i would be curious to see how many of those have good backs in comparison to the rest of their physique?
IME the vast majority of people that don't deadlift or squat will come out with a million justifications as to why it's pointless or how this or that one doesn't, but when it boils down to it 90% + just don't do it because it is actually physically harder and more demanding than all the other movements.
