20 years ago you did not see girls and 40 year old men doing DL's in public gyms. You can see it everyday now. Why? It got popular with xfit.
Sprint intervals are the best thing for fat burning, leg building and cardio. Would you recommend a person who can't run an 10 min mile to run some 200's for cardio?
No S$$$. Now compare injuries stats of 30 year olds who keep DL vs those who don't. Better yet ask an Ortho what he suggests. I knew the exact responses I would get before I posted. Tough guys and the DL for life crowd. It's a high risk movement and that's a fact especially the older you get because you naturally lose flexibility with age which eventually catches up to your form.
Just because it's a good lift doesn't mean it's for everyone. I run sprint intervals for cardio but if I took Lester Earl and Hu Flung Pu with me today both would vomit and one would end up with some kind of leg injury.

Why is back pain probably the #1 orthopedic issue for most of the population? It's not because of crossfitters and weightlifters. It's desk sitters and fatasses.

What do you mean by money? Obesity is one of the biggest health problems this country faces and that leads directly to back and joint problems. Do you think more people have joint issues because of deadlifts rather than just being overweight? Deadlifts are a high risk lift but it should be a calculated risk.

That has much more to do with the internet in general than xfit IMO. You see Alot of shite in the gym today you prob wouldn't see as often 20 years ago. shite, women in the gym lifting weights in general is kind of a new phenomenon. That's because the info is more readily available for everyone, as are the benefits of DL's.

Strawman argument. There's ways to have beginners do DL's safely. Sprinting is whole different animal.

Show me those stats. You're the one who's claiming DL's are dangerous.
I'm willing to bet those stats are similar to 30 year olds who weight train in general versus those who don't.

That's a whole different argument than telling Salmon (a very athletic 30 something year old) to stop deadlifting.
