Eddie Hall would disagree with Oberst.
From my understanding, he is not saying you can't do deadlifts, just that it is high risk.
Yes everyone can master or learn the form well. But 1 bad day is all it takes
ok got to bust the misconceptions, dead lifting and squats are good for the back. 90% of lifters don't get hurt by the weight but by bad form if the lift is good the benefits are good train at light weight until the form is good then gradually move up the weight if you jump in weight the form will be off take its stead and always under control.
now before anyone tells me i'm wrong hear me out, at the age of 17 i broke my back just above the tail bone at L4/L5 the fall i had also twisted my spine giving me an un-natural bend this in turn caused an issue in my thoracic spine and left me in great pain. At 28 following a slip at work i cracked the same vertebra i don't know the lingo but what i understand is the fracture wasn't healing it was like a open wound the crack was just there and not healing right, this left me in so much pain i could barley walk and at 30 i was in a wheelchair having a caudal epidural every four months just to help manage the pain and prescribed a high dose of gabapentin to help i was like a cabbage just dosed up and watching the world go by at 33 my wife gave be a verbal lashing and told me i had to do something so first thing i did was decide to stop listening to the consultants to respect what they were saying then respectfully disagree and started to move around drag myself out of the chair and move keep in mind in the three years in this chair i went up to 21 stone and was told id be permanently bed bound.
now just before i turned 38 i went back to the gym the previous 5 years i spent shedding some weight and getting on my feet walking with canes, stretching and just moving a very slow laborious process but you got to start somewhere right. After twelve months at the gym i got talking to a guy that was a physiotherapist and he asked what my issue was so i told him and right away he said dead lifts and squats will strengthen the lower back and good stretching hanging of the pull up bars stretching that spine out will help the thoracic area, i was skeptical and apprehensive as i was afraid to aggravate the spine and go backwards in recovery i was around 18 stone at the time i'm a broad shouldered stocky well set guy always have been but i thought what do i have to lose so i gave it a try i go everyday to the gym and every ten days i do heavy sets on dead lift and squats i currently hit around the 210 kg on dead lift, 180 kg on the squat but to stay safe i go no bigger than 160 kg on the squat and 180 kg on the dead lift to keep my form good and i'm fitter than ever i now weigh 97 kg around 15 st 7 lbs and while i still get pain and still have treatment to this day, i manage that pain better, overall the pain levels have dropped, mobility is better and i'm back to work at the age 41 something 10 years ago i was told id never do and the process got faster after i started doing heavier squats and dead lifts its all about form and do exceed what your capable of doing comfortably.
nothing in life is unobtainable know your limits and start your journey with one step than be brave enough to take a second slowly that walk becomes jog then a sprint and the only person that will stop you running…… is you.
much love from the UK.
Eddie hall loves deadlifting and even he says its not worth it, and he has the world record of deadlift
That’s why you get smoked by other strongmen that do such a the mountain or Eddie Hall or Shaw
