Use it or lose it, why we deadlift
Lower back strength is an undeniable necessity in conditioning. The ability to maintain a rigid lumbar spine under load is not only critical for power output but safety. If you can deadlift 300lbs, getting a 60lb bag of dog food out of the car becomes a walk in the park.
Deadlifting is HARD. Many people do not like to do it or are fearful. These are not adequate reasons not to do it, as back strength is necessary not only for preventing injury but for developing other lifts, sports and life.
