| Good or bad? |

| Good. Helps with core, gluts, quads, shoulders. Just be sure you have good form and warm up to heavy weights so you don’t hurt yourself. |

| Deadlifts are horrible for your body. I wouldn't do them if I were you. |

I can only assume that was a troll. Of course deadlifts are great for your body, assuming you have no preexisting injury. |

| Trainer here - very good for your body IF you are meticulous in using correct form. |

| Deadlifts are my favorite. All kinds. Just learn good form. |

Trainer here. They are both good and bad. Good, in that they build a tremendous amount of strength in a functional way. Bad because there’s a lot of potential for injury if you lift too much weight too quickly, or take a long break and push it too hard when you start lifting again. One of the most common injuries I see is when people stop lifting, and then come back and try to lift the same amount they did 3 months ago. Recipe for disaster.
Do them, but be smart about it. |

+1 Form is so important with deadlifts. If you form is off you can easily pull your back. Work with a *good* trainer to get your form right. Recording yourself is also a great way to check your form. |

Good.
I used to have a full set of weights when I was married to my ex and if I didn’t have time for a full workout, I’d try to just get in my sets of deadlifts. They hit so many major, important muscles. It was really the most bang for my buck in a time crunch. |
