is this rutine any good for packing up mass

The deadlift is a lower body lift that simply anchors the weight at the upper body.

The prime movers are quads, glutes, and hamstrings.

You get no more upper body benefit from deadlifting than you get from just holding heavy weight 1 inch above the floor.

How is that so? That is certainly not true. My traps and forearms and back get all sore from deadlifting full ROM.

Doing heavy, full deads leads to CNS fatigue when performed every week. Good mornings happen to be my favorite exercise right now. I quit deadlifting for two months, decided to test them out and I set a pr. And I believe incorporating good mornings was the reason.

That was stupid of me... now it opens up this whole deadlift can of worms.

Let's stay on the topic of his routine...

Let me rephrase: I think deadlifts are a very useful movement, especially for people who play sports as it's very functional-strength oriented. I don't think pure deadlifts are much better than some other form of deadlift to the point that they ALSO need to be included.

Anyway, to bulking-up noob: the suggestions seem to be to drop the isolations and do a deadlift motion. I'd suggest you do the deadlifts the furthest away from your squats as possible. If that's not back day then too bad.

how are RDL's a partial movement?

In comparison to a normal deadlift, it is.

The bar is not pulled from the floor each rep. For me, I consider that "partial" if you are going to call it a deadlift.
