FT Questions....

[Altamir]

He has certainly mentioned it somewhere that he does not recommend deads/rack deads as an MR. I did them a few times. The only thing that felt more "unsafe" to me was the one stupid time I did BB squats as a MR. To me its a cost versus reward ratio. And if you want to be lifting with any amount of intensity with any amount of decent weight, it's going to get ugly quick. To each their own, but there is for sure a place for them in FT, for me it's not MRs. I like all my disks in my spine where they currently are.

For whatever reason, SLDL seem so much "safer" for a MR (even though they are friggen brutal) I'm guessing the motion and the load make them significantly safer.
