Deadlifts using a deadlift lever machine

Tregs said:
I don't dead lift or squat at the moment and probably won't for awhile .i like the safe feeling I get on the leg press I have more control over my knee
But if your calling heathy people who GO to the gym dickheads because they don't squat or deadlift is very small minded sort of makes you a dickhead does it not? At least they are at the gym trying and not sitting on their ass at home getting fat

You need to re-read Callans post mate he says it has it's place for those who can't physically do a compound lift. You've just had a knee reco, I think that places you firmly in the not physically able to category.

Nothing wrong with being your own man, Tregs. I totally agree with you btw.

I agree with Bazza, there is no reason to squat or deadlift if strength is not the primary objective. Deadlifts are shit-tier for hypertrophy when you compare them to top down variations of the deadlift, ghd's etc etc
That being said if you don't squat you're a pussy

The deadlift machine looks like it would be good for doing shrugs

This - I used it yesterday, and have at least a three or four times a month since I started going to the gym. It is just about unbeatable for shrugs - but sometimes I want a but of variation and might go with BB or DB shrugs.

I never deadlift with it (except to get the shrug weight up, as I use the lower handles).

Not just that man, there are many negatives to the deathlift and other free weight exercises

Early onset of male pattern baldness
A lowering of IQ
Turning into a douchebag, especially to women
Dick getting smaller due to overcompensation
Protein addiction
AIDS from sharing your whey / creatine needles
