I totally agree that the deadlift sucks if done for the sake of something else. There are better exercises if your goal is muscle mass or athletic performance or general fitness. About the only reason to train it is for it’s own sake, for competition or just because it’s cool to have a big pull. Otherwise it takes much more than it gives.



And I would also add another heresy: incline bench gives me WAY more than any other press (including flat bench and overhead).
"I think we often spend too much time focusing on max fitness
and not nearly enough on maintaining our minimums.
It seems we need to think sustainable rather than obtainable.
Meaning whatever we do today, we can do it again tomorrow.
Never taking so much from ourselves that we can't."
