One quick tip to build a brutal back (The fitness industry hates me).

[Meta-physical]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been asked by one of my graduate students (who also happens to be an IFBB pro) if I would be willing to take some time out of my schedule to set up an account here and pass on some of the pearls of wisdom that made me a force to be reckoned with in the bodybuilding industry for over two decades. It is my privilege to oblige.

I intend to set up and AMA thread in future, as well as share some amusing anecdotes I have from my time as a bodyguard to the stars, but for now I will begin by stating that the path to becoming a successful bodybuilding champion begins by accepting this basic fundamental: STOP DOING DEADLIFTS. I repeat: STOP DOING DEADLIFTS.

What’s that you say? ‘Blasphemy! Stone him!’ Well, first off all, I’d fucking like to see you try. Secondly, I didn’t become murderously huge by ignoring my own advice. The only reason one has for doing the deadlift is if they intend to compete as a strength athlete (feel free to lol at this ambition). Any excuse I hear outside of that will be dismissed with a contemptuous wave of the hand and an order to get out of my face. I have no time for fat men masquerading as athletes by performing a dangerous and ineffective manoeuvre in order justify their mental fragility and inability to successfully implement a diet. Nobody is impressed with the poverty-cam footage you upload onto social media where you attempt to hoist some ridiculous poundage off the ground as your face turns purple and your belly spills out over the top of your lifting belt. Give it up, re-evaluate your life, and get ‘back’ to the basics: High-rep, high-tempo work twice a week (minimum). Weighted pull-ups and dumbbell rows are the key to being able to flare those lats like a cobra to ward off the malevolent masses in the nightclubs, and good-mornings performed on a back extension bench are all that’s needed to work the erector spinae and created that grainy Christmas tree-look without becoming a paraplegic in later life.  

I will elaborate on other muscle groups as well as give out some invaluable diet tips in later posts, but for now - class dismissed.

I never do deadlifts due to a mid-back issue. Pulling stuff up while standing really aggravates it.

Anyway my back is a strong point. I do lots of heavy rows and pullups/chins.

[Never1AShow]

This is true though, deadlifts are a waste of time and energy if you are interested in your physique instead of permabulker powerlifting.  Spend that energy doing rows.

This is a man who understands the profundity of my message: heavy rows and pull-ups will turn you into superman; Deadlifts will turn you into Christopher Reeve.

All in good time, young man. For now, let me just leave you with the teaser that I am a vociferous opponent of Cartesian dualism.

Fixed your post, and refrained from the addition of any gratutious vocabulary.

Total crap.  Deadlifts should be incorporated into all lifting programs.  Deadlifts, reverse hypers, rows, chins, etc.  should all be included.  Complete nonsense that only powerlifters deadlift.  The only ones that don't deadlift are simply too lazy to do so because they require more effort than anything else.  I suppose nobody should squat as well.  This is just what lazy people want to hear though.  Now, tout the benefits of not squatting.

OP you are an idiot who dont know shit, two of the greatest backs of all time dorian yates and ronnie coleman both deadlifted on a regular basis when training for the olympia.

sure, squats don't exhaust the legs, 100% of your time it's your lungs or core that quit first.

In all seriousness, i was a very proponent of deads, did them quite often.
After 20 years got 2 cervical herniated discs from them. Would not recomend them to anyone.

+ 90% of gym population lacks proper mobility in their joints to perform deadlifts with perfect form

That is not true unless you have poor cardio and try to do high rep squats, when you  do heavy squats and you take a narrow stance the quads do most of the work and you take the glutes out of it, if you want to emphasize the quads even more than do front squats, you should always warm up with core work on your abs and lower back everytime you go to the gym, I dont even use a belt when I squat because my core is strong.
