And they'll get big with leg extensions and other seated comfy moves?

they would get big with pull ups, chin ups, rows etc
but you dont see people doing that seriously.

Do deadllift one day, and do a back training the day before, even if you got no muscle soreness from dead, after a few set of chin/row your back will cramp everywhere and you'll realise that the deadlift the day before worked your back on an unexpected way.

Also if you can't squat because of knee injury you'll realise your squat strenght is almost intact when you come back to squat if you do heavy dead during recovery.

Deadlift is just terrific for back and posterior chain.

If you blew out your back that was your fault, there are only 3 reasons why you would get injured doing deadlifts, bad form, lifting a weight that you cant handle or trying for one more rep after your muscle is fatigued, if you avoid these 3 things you will never get injured doing deadlifts.

8 inch biceps great post i see this to, hell there is this one clown in my gym every time he does legs he trains them for about 2hrs will spend a half hr getting ready to do one set of squats

[8 INCH not biceps]

For all of you get biggers who dont deadlift and think that deadlifts will lead to injury you should be ashamed now watch this old 78 year old woman deadlifting 225 pounds for 3 reps.
