Deadlifts are as functional strength as you can get.

Hello, I am from Reddit, what is going on in this thread?

Can someone properly inform me?

Will reward with an upvote.

>>40573391
Not very much fun with a game. I hope you're okay with this one

>>40573357

Go to the CBT and look at all the skinny manlets with no core, no traps, and barely any body mass.

These are the DYELs telling you that deadlifting is a meme

Look man, straight up, I know you can build a great body without deadlifts, squats, the whole shebang, I know that and I'm not gonna preach the elitist gospel

But heavy fucking deadlifts gave me HUGE fucking shoulders, traps, and upper back and gave me the posture of a Marine meeting a general

he wasn't deadlifting. he was snatching

Daily reminder that OLY LIFTING IS THE FINAL REDPILL

>>40573168

>functional strength

get a load of this fat faggot

>>40573501

Nothing worked my trapezius like deadlifts have, but this is closely tied to the length of your traps, the shape and angle of your clavicles and where the distal portion of the upper fibers of the traps attach.

If you have droopy clavicles and long trapezius like I do, deadlifts will absolutely obliterate them and you will get those Bane traps in a couple months.

>>40573501
What do you think keeps those 450lbs from tearing your humerus right out of its socket?

>>40573522
Yeah but how can you tell they've grown from deadlifts? Haven't you been doing bench, OHP and pull/chinups as well? Surely your middle and rear delt would grow more from those.

>>40573736
I know.

>>40573760
The traps.

>>40573736
yeah deadlifts and cleans made my traps grow real nice

>>40573179
>You don't need a woman to do when she does it all over the place you don't know how about it is you know you are still a single man
hahaha wtf

but seriously though
>muh functional strength
who gives a fuck, is your job picking 400lbs everyday? are you a professional athlete getting paid for doing so?
If working out didn't improve physique 95% of people would stop this shit immediately

>>40573780
Cause Ive been lifting for years and I know my body and I tinker with my routines and evaluate results. Mind you, they have a huge effect on my traps, not necessarily my delts, but they do help out there too.

>>40573780

uh the traps attach to the acromion and the distal portion of the clavicle, not the humerus.

The humerus is held primarily by a network of really tough tendons and tons of -other- muscles, including the deltoids, all of which contribute to a huge upper back when you work out with deadlifts. Teres major and minor, infraspinatus are chief.

This is a troll post, right?

>>40573151
How did the bar fall on his head like that from a deadlift??

>>40574258
One of the many dangers of bad form.

>>40574152

No, those are my actual lifts for doubles. It is what it is. My bf% is around 20

>>40574258
that's what happens when you use a mixed grip

>>40573151
unless you've been taught properly by a competent instructor as well as a program built around them properly and just not your juiced up friend who watched a couple of youtube videos egging you on then yes, they are the biggest meme exercise going
