Conventional dead’s that is.
I still use trap bar, and perform sldl’s. Sometimes I do rack pulls.
No male who lifts consistently deadlifts less than 150kg.
Prove me wrong.

Haha yeah fair point. Can almost lift it one handed hahaive had guys come through me shanty gym who cant lol. 150 kgs might be nothing to you but thats cos ur quite a big unit and have trained for over a decade. Point taken on the words"lifts consistently" but some guys kinda do but just spin their wheels. The net has helped me a lot over the years research and experiment with different methods,most peeps apart from the srs ones dont bother. Just go in and lift.
More important than Squats?Nothing wrong with deadlifts of any kind. Used appropriately. I would argue that for longevity, potentially more important than squats.
You are covered with those variations though.

Yeah if it works for you that's all that matters. I actually used to work in a Gym and most young guys did leg press, some did squat in the smith machine.Depends how you deadlift too doesn't it. Haha.
My dead's are very leg dominant. Lots of knee bend for me. And easier for me to recover from. But that's probably not a Norm I know.
Yeah squats are probably no. 1
And of course I know John Grimek, absolute legend. Probably not a single significant old school physical culturist I don't know about.
Most young lifters would do well to listen to his advice over any of the juicey pros of today's era.

Haha gotta love those old commercial gym stories. I'm sure we've all got em.Yeah if it works for you that's all that matters. I actually used to work in a Gym and most young guys did leg press, some did squat in the smith machine.
There were a few who did deadlifts but it was not a hard core gym.
One of the young guys who was also a Trainer screamed like ronnie coleman. Honestly was a fucking idiot.
Some women complained so He was warned but still carried on. Did not brother me personaly but was a prick anyway. Lazy ****.
So I'm rambling on here.. Haha
Agree.Not sure I'd call SLDs a more complicated movement. More of a BB movement - they require more feel and mind muscle connection to load up the Hamstrings. When you do a lot of Deadlifting it can become harder to get that feel for SLDs.
My deadlift finally became of real use the other day. 2 blokes took their sail boat out and they came back in, put it on their trolley and were trying to get it through this small gap where the gate was. It was too wide and they were stuck so I offered some help, they both went one end of the boat and I just lifted the other end over the obstacles. Not the heaviest thing in the world but needed someone with some strength to get it where they wanted it.
Yeah it really is a 1 in a million lifters milestone aye.
But I wanna know his stats.
Bodyweight
Age
Height
Time lifting

So i am 189cm, 108kg around 16-19% body fat. im 19
My current prs for deadlift is 195 for 2, pr for bench is 130 for 5. i dont squat very often but my best squad ever was 160 for 2. I have been training for about 18 months
This is wise young man. You're growing. So keep growing. Like you need progress, but you don't need to measure that progress with a gut wrenching 1RM. If your work sets are getting heavier, you good.i havent actually ever maxed out any of my lifts. I just dont see the point maxing out
That's it man. It's all about learning. And being patient.
