I guess some guys who can't get big try to impress others with how much they can lift.

I recall all the athletes and weightlifters at UBC who weren't impressed with mere 'mirror athletes'.

Weightlifters don't like bodybuilders because they don't look as strong as the musclemen.

If I can stop even one person from tearing a biceps then that is reward enough. I can't tell you how

upsetting it was to tear my right biceps. Guys like Dorian who did something similar lost more than

just half a biceps.

I guess that some guys that can't lift heavy & be strong Try to Grow Their Muscles Larger
To Try & Impress The Strong / Heavy Lifters -- Hey I Can't Lift Very Much - But I Have Big Muscles.

I think perhaps you are misunderstanding me citing all these twinks I know that are stronger than you.  

It wasn't to belittle you - it was to make it clear that the idea that you can easily correlate "heavy weights" with tearing a bicep on deadlift is wrong.  I know people who are far far less muscled and more capable than you were and their bodies are not failing to handle larger deadlifts.

If you really care about people not tearing biceps doing deadlifts, invest in a texas bar for your gym.  I've no facts to back myself up, here - but I would say the texas bar minimises the danger.  I know it is a very jarring experience to go back to regular bars with no give.

well at least deadlifts are not as dangerous as squats and bench

I've met way more people with shoulder issues from heavy benching than those with back issues from deads.

I've met way more people with shoulder issues from heavy benching than those with back issues from deads.

I'm wondering if that is just because more people try to go hard on the bench.

I personally think the deadlift is wayyy more dangerous for back if you take it to the type of level that people go for bench on.

That's true, the BP is way more popular since most guys are more interested in their show muscles.

I've had serious DOMS from deads in the past as well, but I've learned to master myself the right technique (hips low, straight back, etc) and now I'm able to lift more than ever before without serious DOMS. Just as with the squat it's important to perform them at least once per 1-2 weeks. Every time I perform them after a long time my body says "fuck u".

I'm not a powerlifter, deads are just a part of my back workout

im thinking of incorporating push ups instead of bench for my overall chest development.

They're great and more shoulder friendly. You can always increase the load with 1 or 2 resistance bands, who are dirt cheap.

Deadlifts actually have the opposite effect for myself (and many others) in that they keep the back pain free, after an extended period without them the niggling pains are unbearable and back feels week and easy to pull something.

It's one of the best movements to develop a strong core. Those who never do deads seldom perform alternative such as hyper extensions or glute ham raises. They not only have a weak core, they also lack mid & lower back thickness.

It is always refreshing to hear the opinion of a true expert. Seems that everyone is an expert on Getbig.

My friends say that I'm gay because I don't like football. What a bunch of idiots. I'm gay because I like cock.

I have stated before that one needs to be an expert to detect another expert in a particular field. The problem with bodybuilding is that everyone with a 16 inch arm considers that they are experts.

When you read the concerns of so many who don't know how to get any bigger doesn't this prove that they are hardly experts?

When someone comes up with a new way of approaching a discipline it won't be accepted by the majority. Look at how long it took for humanity to accept that the earth goes around the sun?

So I don't expect bodybuilders to abandon what they believe. This isn't going to happen. Are there  many philosophers of science among bodybuilders? I seem to be the only one.

Mike Mentzer and Arthur Jones were philosophers but they didn't get it right re the theory of hypertrophy. They were only partly right which isn't sufficient. They had a necessary condition

but not all the sufficient conditions. They got the intensity part correct but underestimated the total time under tension that is required. In other words, you need volume as well but still

require exceedingly hard training to make the muscles have to grow.
