Are Deadlifts Beneficial?

[@barrydeiter1192]

100% agree. Thicker lats thicker back they work for me tho.

[@user-cl7fm1uc4r]

Your lats don't get thicker they get wider only. Your thickness is Teres Rhomboids infraspinatus and of course Traps. You find ways to grow them and you will be thicker no matter what exercise you do.

[@clinteastwood7780]

Extremely small amount on the lats.

[@NoTo_Shido]

@@user-cl7fm1uc4r Not at all. Gaining muscle tissue is making your muscle thicker, no matter which one it is. It's as simple as this. Do you think the new fibers on the lats only grow on the side of them? How absurd is this..

[@mostofrich]

When you do unilateral exercises, perform your weak arm first. However many reps you did with that arm, do it with your stronger arm. That way your weak arm can catch up in strength to your strong arm but your strong arm doesn’t keep gaining strength too quickly

[@sng3939]

Deadlifts mainly work the spinal erectors and hamstrings. This makes it a great movement for making a string lower back to reduce injury risk (if done with no ego lifting). The traps get a weighted stretch and so are also activated as stabilisers., so help with upper back thickness.

I start my full body training off with deadlifts. Nothing wildly heavy but 3 sets 10 reps with 2 minutes rest. Your traps will grow like crazy and the details start to come in the entire back. Trigger is to push your heel through the ground and let your arms just be hooks🪝

For some reason I'm terrified of deadlifts. Ive done them before seldomly, may e like 2 or 3 times in my life lol, never injured, i think I had good form (not scared cat lifting or the shrimp lift or anything lol). I think it comes from the fact that its the heaviest amount a person can lift of any type of exercise. I'm so worried im gonna over do it and snap my spine. Which is weird because i have no hangups about squats, which seems to at least be a very similar risk factor. All the big guys like deadlifts, i might have to just incorporate it and start small and safely work my way up.

They just fck up your lower back. Nothing else. Use a hex if you want to deadlift.

Franco is proof that deads are great. Arnold and Franco would actually stand on wooden boxes to make it harder. Arnold's book says only to do deadlifts once every two weeks though. You can't do them often or else you miss workouts.
