We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
I sort of decided you know what maybe the deadlift has reached its point of futility and maybe I've extracted all I'm going to out of that and there's no denying what a wonderful movement it is I'm in terms of being a total hip hinge compound movement but I was like look I could probably get most of the benefits of a deadlift doing things that place me under less load and also again in the spirit of thinking about longevity
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.

Um, I know the difference between discomfort that is worth pushing through and pain that is not. But when I when I think about in particular squats and deadlifts, I I'll tell you where especially around the deadlift, which I is an exercise I really really enjoy, where I feel conflicted.
Up until about 18 months ago, I was still squatting and deadlifting regularly, though with much less weight. I just sort of decided the riskreward trade-off wasn't there for me.
