I could say the same about squat and bench and short people.

Anyone else here wants to start a flame only confession thread? A place where you can call people out for their stupid shit? Some new member has been posting dumb posts everywhere and it’s annoying as fuck.

Yeah I am at the point that I have too agree…For me anyway, pulling conventional seems to take more than it honestly gives back. Besides Im just mentally burned out on the SOB’s. Been wanting get away from them for awhile to spare my sanity. It wasnt until a article written by Greg Nuckols did I finally decided to re embrace Trap Bar Deads.
Actually it wasnt too long ago on this site … That all anyone cared about was the Deadlift and could give two fucks less how much someone could squat or bench or even OHP .
I feel like if you have a big squat you are going to have big deadlift. Like if you squat 500, you can probably pull 500 (or close to it). So might as well just squat lol. But it does feel good to pick something heavy off the ground once in a while. I’d personally rather squat and flip some heavy tires.
@dt79 I’m the same way with deadlifts though. I rarely do them because I’m too lazy to load and unload lol. I try to find exercises that don’t need a lot of equipment or breakdown/setup. Probably why I love squat stands haha.

I think pulling sumo is the bees tits. All them hip gainzzz!
Lol yeah, I do rack pulls from time to time cos it’s easier to load them. Or stiff leg deads with lower weight as a last exercise.

I could but that doesn’t make it an accurate statement - - just an opinion lol!
In my experience most normal proportion healthy individuals who actually deadlift on somewhat normal bases will either pull as much or normally more than they can squat. Thats why I on occasion will ask most beginners on here about squat depth if their squats are extremely higher than their squats.
I for one love to deadlift. Deadlifts and push presses are my favorite lifts just as far as I enjoy doing them the most.
My question is …are they that truly misinformed (which I can overlook) Or is it nothing more than a poor attempt at Trolling on their part?
I can relate to this wholeheartedly. There’s been a few occasions where I’ve been asked the same thing. Mainly involving the squat rack. If I could frame the faces of the guys, when I calmly state that the working weights they use are also the same working weights I have the strength to use on any given day. Priceless.

I’ve noticed that too. Wish I could say the same for myself. But i think I have semi janky proportions to begin with concerning the lifts (short arms, short femurs). I’m just now creeping up on a 330 deadlift, and a 405 squat is within grasp very soon. Do you think injuries can be a factor too? Or not so much?
This weaponess is deathly afraid of flying insects and spiders. And I mean swerve-in-heavy-traffic-because-a-spider-is-in-my-car type of fear lol.

Having bruised toes is the worst. It seriously screws up damn near every major lift in the gym…
Short arms defiantly… also depends on your torso length also . Yeah if you have a preexisting injury or even a healed injury that has jacked things up your not 100% of what you can be.

Try to do Snatch-grip Deadlifts three times a week and the calluses in your hands will disagree…
