So "you need deadlift to get big back" was meme after all.

Rows are literally all you need.

>>40650469
Deadlifts make sure you don't have incompetent muscles in your body.

>>40650469
Ronnie Coleman has more titles than him and deadlifted a lot.

I think dead lift does have a place in bodybuilding, not necessarily for mass or a good back, but for being a huge impact on the CNS, which can help condition you for heavier lifts in general.

I may be wrong in that regard.

>he thinks the deadlift is a back exercise

"Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder but don't nobody want to lift these heavy-ass weights"

>>40650469
heavy rack pulls
heavy rows
db rows
etc.

>>40650747
this

I think diddies are actually more useful for beginners/intermediates than advanced lifters

Obviously if you're lifting for strength, this doesn't apply. But a begginner is going to have a weak core and be generally weak all around and nothing builds up core strength and a solid basic than squats and deadlifts. Once you get into intermediate level, you should still keep them.

An advanced body builder however, if they don't care much about strength, is going to be isolating so much that doing heavy deadlifts probably won't acheive much for the physique. Still probably a good idea to drop in a set now and then, but no need to bust your balls on heavy deadlifts if it's just aesthetics you're after.

Agree on both, especially the second post.
People calling for Ronnie Coleman, he did a lot of heavy lifting or even weightlifting, sure he got huge as hell, but now his body is rip

don't deadlifts build muscles that fuck up the "V-taper" that is so prevalent in bodybuilding and such

>>40651148

>>40652213

When you're on as many... flu shots as the Ron, all you need to do to get a big back is pick up the latest issue of Men's Health from the coffee table

>>40652213
Arnold deadlifted over 700. His V taper was alright.

>>40650476
Does he take bcaas?

>>40650901
>but now his body is rip
I can GUARANTEE YOU you'll never hit the weights coleman did, your body won't be destroyed from fucking 6pl8 DL get the fuck out

>>40652911
I heard he even takes creatine.

>>40650901
I'm pretty sure Ronnie's shit hips is partly a family thing

>>40652911
No he's natty.

Can anybody tell me, my goal is aesthetics rather than raw strength, but I want to incorporate deadlifts for the overall health and strength benefits (plus good trap, hamstring, and grip training), so should I be deadlifting once or twice a week? Zyzz said even once a week is enough to transform your body.

If you deadlift just once a week, what's a good pace for progressive overload?

>>40652911
No he wouldnt touch the stuff, all he does are oatz

>>40652976
add 10lbs each workout until you fail to hit all your reps

deload 10% and repeat

>>40652976
Use a hex bar. Still engages your erectors to a lesser extent, and it's easier to not fuck up.

If it's not a main goal to get better at deadlift, you're probably fine with once a week.

>>40652976
Jefferson Deadlifts my man

Snatch grip dl > conventional dl

>>40650776

>>40655648

isnt that even worse than alternating grip regarding muscle imbalances?

>>40650469

When you're on as much gear and HGH as him, a fucking towel row will make your back big.

>>40652980
>oatz

I bet you also think a gallon of milk a day is natty.

>>40652911
Given that he's almost certainly using and abusing insulin unironically yes.
