how essential are deadlifts? didn't Dexter just start doing them for the first time like 2 years ago?
for back thickness they're superior to any other exercise.
but i dont do them from the floor anymore...uses way too much glutes and hams now that i can pull alot of weight. then on leg day im too sore to go heavy. i just do rack deads, but i still put the bars pretty low
trust me...put any variation of deadlifts in your back routine...and you'll see a difference in a month
