re: Welp. Deadlifts got my back. Now what?

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.

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.

Would you recommend a person who can't run an 10 min mile to run some 200's for cardio?

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

quote:

Now compare injuries stats of 30 year olds who keep DL vs those who don't

---

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.

Just because it's a good lift doesn't mean it's for everyone

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