I visited a powerlifting gym and there was a guy there who was almost 70 and still deadlifting.
If only you knew how bad things really are.

Think again, I got a jolt of pain on the fourth rep of the 4th set and quit immediately. Fuck deadlifts, never ever again. Not even once bro.

At 38 I'm almost one of the oldest serious "body builders" at my gym. And like I said before, its no Planet pussy gym.
Come to think about it, I'm probably the oldest who'se that serious about nutrition and his physique.
What happened to all those young guys who worked out when I was young? (Rhetorical, i changed gyms a couple of times)

My only problem with deadlift is there are too many form rules. Stand straight, don't arch your back, knees forward, halfway under the bar, dick facing Mecca etc etc. I understand it's all for safety reasons but goddamn I just wanna start lifting man! Squats are more straightforward, as are pullups, bench presses, dips etc. If you're just looking to build a good body, which I've done, you can skip the deadlifts.

Spike,
Somehow your overall tone matches the tone of a whiny SJW at least in my ears.

I meant to say that good or bad form isn't relevant anymore for me since I'm not gonna do this exercise again. I did use good form when I hurt my back.
But somehow I think you knew all that already.

I have to laugh at some of the comments here, apparently there are a lot of butthurt guys because someone is not doing their favorite exercise.

Is there a good solid alternative to deadlifts?

ask yourself, do you need to deadlift to achieve your physique goals? the question isn't whether deadlifts are part of an optimal time efficient back routine, but whether you NEED to include them to achieve the back development you are after
