Spending years sitting on your a$$ and getting weak AF is dangerous. Squats are deadlifts are necessary. And we all know it.

This was great. I have duck feet, have my whole life where my toes point out when I walk. I have weird elbow joints too. When I squat the most comfortable position for my knees is almost like a plie .

The answer to all "training" questions and hot topics like are deadlifts bad for your back is - "it depends"

Excellent point from the doctor that squats and deadlifts are infinitely safe with perfect mechanical alignment. The pressure spots on the cartilage from imperfect alignment cause back pain that lasts for a few days to a week.

They are absolutely beneficial and necessary.

Deadlifts never hurt my back when actually doing them. They hurt after working 12 hours on my feet after.

The most dangerous exercise is couch sitting.

They are bad for your back IF you do them incorrectly. The risk is that you might do them incorrectly. So don’t do that.

Still- you can’t fix stupid. There was that news article a few months ago about the bodybuilder who was ego squatting, and neither he nor his spotter knew what to do when he got stuck. The bar ended up rolling forward over his neck and head; sadly he died. If only he had known about safety rails and the like. Sad but Darwinian.

Innately dangerous? No. Dangerous for people with certain ailments? Sure. Dangerous because most people do them so badly they're basically begging for a back injury? Definitely
