every single person who i talk to when they find out the program i am doing involves deadlifts, THEY ALL (like literally over a dozen people) have said to never do deadlifts unless you are an athlete or someone who gets paid to do it. they said all i am going to get out of it is a busted lower back.... thoughts?
