Ok guys here we go ....,., I have never done a dead lift in my life am I cheating myself? I have gotten many mixed opinions on this some people tell me I'm crazy for not doing them and others tell me they are not necessary cause u can fuck up your back in the long run. What do u guys think? I'm really interested in all your responses

IMO the deadlift goes hand in hand with squats.... They test and strengthen ur entire body.
As for injury, they [if done with great form] can prevent most back injuries, which are usually causes of day to day activities [lifting, bending, etc]...
I am all for deadlifts, just make sure u get someone knowledgable to spot you and help you with ur form.

YES!
I can't do em cause my back is already effed up. But I wish I could
PAIN DON'T HURT
They are an incredibly efficient way to strengthen the entire body. My philosophy is that if you only did one exercise in the gym, it should be squats or deads.

Thinking about fitting them into my routine eventuallyOriginally Posted by exphys88
Watch some videos online of them. Read about form. Watch ppl at ur gym doing them...they shld be a staple in any routine...seperates the men from the boys.
Deads are a major lift and they go hand in hand with squats and bench for overall strength development. It takes care and proper form to do it right, particularly when you are pulling heavy

I think it depends on what your goals are. If your looking to be fit - then DLs are not a major priority.
But
If your in to BB or PL then they are a huge part of building a powerful core and wide back.
