Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I hear different things about these. I hear that they must be included in every program but I know very very lean guys who avoid doing this exercise, mainly because they say it is very bad for their back. I currently do them but I dont know where exactly they help me build up. Should I focus on Lunges more than deadlifts? thanks.
Deadlifts-very good or not useful?

Deadlifts don't hurt you. There isn't an exercise in the world that will hurt you. What hurts you is bad technique and bad form.
Deadlift, imo and the opinions of thousands, is the second most important workout. Core/lower back strength is 100% necessary.

Ugh........ You are kidding right? You say that you can't feel what they build up. Post your sets and reps for the DL and the weights you are using. Not mythical Internet numbers, but the REAL weights you are pulling. You should be feeling them in most of your major muscle groups. DLs usually make my hams, low, mid, and upper back, traps, grip, and abds sore. I would keep doing the deads and incorporate lunges and other single leg exercises on another day.

If deadlifts are "bad for your back" how do you pick anything up of the ground? I'm sorry to tell you but everytime you bend down and pick something up (even your dirty socks) you are doing a deadlift.
I could write two pages about why you should deadlift, but I wont. I'll just say it is an essential movment and should be in every workout routine.
I'm sure many pussies out there can come up with great reasons not to deadlift but it's your choice... you can be a pussy and make excuses or you can deadlift like a man.

Deads are one of the king daddies of mass building. If your not doing them your missing out on exceptional muscle growth. I love deads and get a woody every time I get to do them.
People who don't use them are pussies no if ands or buts.

Deadlifts are my favorite exercise. The soreness I feel after is greater than that from squatting or heavy presses. Its a mandatory strength builder.
