I was curious if most of you bros use deadlifts regularly in your routines. I see so many guys at my gym- guys who are not bodybuilders and who are quite small and probably have not been lifting for very long- doing endless sets of EZ-curls, forearm curls, tricep extensions, machine flys, and so forth, and I want to scream at them to stop wasting their time, and hit the compound movements! It drives me crazy. I rarely see people doing deads at Ballys, or cleans, or heavy squats, or any other compound exercise that takes maximum effort. Ok. I feel better now.

Deadlifts are one of, if not the, my favorite exercises.

I was going to post a thread on this tonight but I'll just vent in this one. I do deads every back workout just about. As some of you may know, I slipped a disk (I think it was just bulged, but that was the diagnosis) about 6 or so months ago. Damn the pain. Anyway, I have been trying to slowly get up in the weight. I hit 135 x 10 to warm up, then 225 x 10 for a second set. I then moved to 315 x 6 and was feeling in it today. So I moved on to 405 x 2 and said I'm gonna hit 455 x 1 today. After about 1/2 way I wasn't going anywhere so I dropped it. I decided to try again, about 15 min later, and had the same results. Damn damn damn. So I went back to 405 x 2 and 315 x 6. I was so dissapointed because I have gotten 455 before, but I have that back injury in the back of my head. Sorry to vent and yes I do deads. People who don't....NEED TO! Sorry I had to vent.

Deads are a great full body worker....you can look at most people who dead and those who dont and you can really tell especially w/lower back thickness and shape...

Never used to dead much... I did stiffies for hams... but never regular deads... I did lots of research a couple years ago to improve my workouts and everyone everywhere suggested squats, deads, and bench for size and strength.
I concentrated on those for the last couple years... but I had to drop deads a few months ago... my lower back just can't handle them. I can barely walk for weeks after doing a heavy dead.
I don'T know how you guys do it. Props to ya.
