Deadlifting
@ Askari @ Jason, any other gym heads
Seeing as this forum turned into a bodybuilding conference a few weeks back, I may as well ask your opinions on deadlifting. It's a debate I've had literally everywhere. I personally think it's essential, some people even say it's all you need. Some people say it'll fuck up your back and legs beyond repair later in life.
For that reason I don't creep past 100kg too often. For deadlifting alone can bulk more muscles than any other exercise, this is somewhat a disappointment. I just don't want to be in immense pain everyday when I'm in my 60s.

If your looking to bulk up, stick to protein and dumbbells. Most people don't know that the quickest and easiest way to bulk are simple push-ups, they are a COMPLETE upper body work out and can damn well bulk up on simply just those alone. There's no need to get all crazy with deadlifts and other non-sense.
Final thought: Bench and curls (various types) with MASS amounts of protein (Do the odd Leg day to strengthen your inner core from time to time as well)
I'm preaching lol

I'm all for the holistic approach. For chest, I simply bench straight, incline and decline and alternate with flies.
Push-ups do your chest and triceps, they don't really touch on anything else at all.
I'm talking about deadlifting as a holistic exercise, in the sense that it exercises more muscles in a set than any other exercise which is true, but there are a lot of health risks that go into it. I was wondering if anyone has had any other experiences, particularly people older than me.
And yes, obviously my daily protein is epic. I just had a 50g protein bag of prawns and 300g of rice motherfucker.

I don't do dead lifts because my back is all fucked up and has been since before I started lifting but as far as I've heard they're great for strength and a really good compound exercise.
Keep your weight lower and you shouldn't have any injury issues as long as your form is correct. Improper form is how you get fucked up by these things.

My friends that deadlift and deadlift alone are pretty fucking insane tbf. Methinks they on that anabolic tip.
I'm still going to hit up a 60-80kg deadlift now and then, just to round off, but as I said and as you guys have said, I don't think getting into the hardcore deadlifting shit is worth it really.
