Are deadlifts useful if you don't care about strenght? Or should I just do rows instead
You don't need to do them, most bodybuilders don't
I don't see why you wouldn't do at least 1 variation of a deadlift.
Deadlifting is a main lift for hamstrings and glutes, like your Benching is a main lift for chest. You might do Incline Bench as your main primary chest exercise, your hamstrings/glutes should also have a primary exercise, which can be conventional deadlifts, sumo deadlifts, deficit deadlifts, romanian deadlifts, whatever you want.
You should be doing some variant of a deadlift, as you should be doing some variant of a bench press.
All of this information I posted is purely for gaining muscle goals.
So basically yes, you should deadlift. Would you really be happy with not having a major primary lift for your hamstrings/glutes? I wouldn't be. Regardless of the reasons.
they can be useful, sure, but if the goal is aesthetics/hypertrophy there is not a single lift that is absolutely essential to do and deadlifts are no difference
do heavy rackpulls for the upper back training effect, RDLs for the hamstrings/glutes, and maybe some hypers if you still want strong erectors
So I'm 6'1 and 135, looking to tone up my body, but I was born without a right pectoralis major muscle. The doc told me it's called Poland Syndrome, so 4chan might not be the best place to ask for advice.
In your fit opinion, what would be the best exercises to develop my arms and chest area considering I'm a one tit wonder?

Find someone without his left pec and bench together.
im a retard who just started anon but dumbells might be the way to go
>>42422708
any two handed pressing movements that aren't directly overhead are out for obvious reasons, you should still be able to do most exercises other than bench semi normally
hit just your triceps with a shit ton of isolation volume, hit your pec with some pec deck flyes, and do some one armed DB benching too (maybe hold a rack with one arm for stability so you don't flip over)
Have some vitamin deficiencies and going to buy some online soon.
Thought it might be fun to also buy some stupid supplements, do any of them actually do anything?
>>42422584
99% of them are about as useful as those stupid fads that normies on facebook do. The only ones that really do anything are creatine and protein powder. Creatine helps with recovery, although not in a game changing way. Protein powder is good if you're deficient in protein from your diet.
>>42422631
thanks anon
i use protein powder probably like a retard, 4-5 scoops a day when i lift

W-what sort of rabbit hole did you lead me through /fit/?
You memed me into buying black compression tights a few weeks ago and they felt good as fuck on my legs and looked really good. Now I'm considering buying fucking knee high socks and shit like that. W-what's wrong with me?
Talk me out of this please.
>>42422324
And if that wasn't enough, I bought a fucking trimmer and am sitting on the side of my bed debating whether or not to shave my fucking legs and chest.
>>42422330
>Compression pants are fine if you're wearing shorts over
>Knee highs are for bikers and lmaocrossfit
>Shaving upper legs is aesthetic as fuck if you have muscle, dont bother shaving lower legs unless you want to broadcast you're gay
>Shaving chest ? lol fucking monkey chest hair is for cavemen and Mohammed

Turns out squats make you shorter...
Been lifting for about 3 months. Is it too late for me? Did I lose height already?
>>42422264
Why do we even keep paying attention to this bullshit?
>>42422264
Yes, it is too late. For every pl8 you add to your bench, you are losing at least an inch of height. That's why all of those power weighlifting bodybuilder guys are short
Oly squats fixed my posture and made me 2cm taller.
I left 4chan for a year and a half, I come back because I just found this shit out.

Currently still trying to steadily gain weight on SS. Sucking down shake after shake and hating food. Can do 10 bodyweight pull ups but am squatting my bodyweight for reps. Skeleton life.
Still chewing through Infinite Jest. Have kept a log of all the words I'm learning and will commit them to memory after finishing the book. My favorite word I've learned so far is "mucronate" meaning terminating in an abrupt point, as a leaf.
