How much can DL help?

[anthrax]

In my gym a lot of guys (should I say freaks) do heavy squats

but almost nobody is doing deadlifts !

I am doing this great exercice and IMO it is one of the best exercice with squat and bench press

i love deadlifts as well but feel somewhat awkward when i do them because i've never actually seen someone in person do one. I love the workout it gives my back though...never giving up my deads.

Alright, so what is your question? Why are they so big despite their routines lacking deadlifts? You don't need them to grow. All the bodyparts it targets, you can hit in other ways. I don't see them as necessary, at all.

IMO, deadlifts are essential for back "thickness."

Deads are by far the best lift for Back, Trap, and Hamstring thickness in my opinion. I shrugged my ass off for years, while achieving minimal results in my back & traps, until I started to do Deads. They seemed to litterally pop out overnight after I started to do them, as if my bodty were waiting for me to discover them. That's a little cheesy, but you see the point.

Deadlifts unnecessary, hehe. That's a good joke.
