@Gore4ever FulciLives Having 500kg on your back requires amazing mental fortitude. I can drop a heavy deadlift and walk away, not to mention that if there is technical failure you still have a chance of brute forcing it up at lower weights. It is a different story with a squat. Just getting under that weight and walking it out would psych most people out and technical failure means that you are probably getting folded. It is all just opinions really but the squat will always be the king for me.

[@nowthatsurban]

@Gore4ever FulciLives exactly. With a squat or bench press, you can feel the weight on your back and in your hands - you have time to mentally prepare for the it. A deadlift is just raw, explosive power; your body doesn't get to prime itself for the weight you're about to lift.

[@barrykennedy9947]

Deadlifts are tough but backing out of the rack with 1080, holding it to get set and completing the squat is a whole different ballgame. I'd say its tougher.

If you judge strictly - the athlete's fans will be offended, if you are loyal - people will accuse you of judging of the local athlete very kindly, taking into account all his titles.
