Thread: Deadlifts are dangerous!

A bold statement which im sure you'll agree. I always watch videos on youtube of bodybuilding (movtivational purposes) and have come accross these guys a few times. Most of their information makes sense and is very helpful. However I wasnt sure what to think after watching this video. Have a look and see what you think. Basically I have never heard someone completely write off deadlifts. I mean maybe what they're saying is correct, someone enlighten me please.

can agree they are dangerous
messed my lower back up by picking a girl off the sofa..... same principal (no diesel she wasnt fat)

Good mornings are worse.

But, as I'm so extra manly, I do them regardless.

Every exercise can be dangerous.

I liked the the part where they offered some scientific evidence.

Yep they are dangerous if performed incorrectly - but most weight training is dangerous, what about dropping a 40kg dumbbell on your head doing seated shoulder press? That aint going to do you any favours lol

ahaha.. its been proven...science says ......YOU WILL SNAP YOUR MUTHAFUGGIN BACK!

i checked another one of their videos, turns out the quiet one has had several hernia operations and a back operation....shall we call that a bias ? :P

Every exercise can be dangerous if performed with bad tech or to much weight.

i like their interpretation lol

personally i dont do deads anymore, just straight legged ones for my hams (which im thinking of replacing with kneeling squats) and rack pulls for lower back.

Anything is dangerous if done incorrectly.... A deadlift is probably less dangerous than a squat, a bench press, or standing press.... or skullcrushers... see the trend here.

I know someone who slipped a disc deadliftin, nothin bads ever happened to me whilst doing em tho. Funny vid
