DLs can be dangerous, sure. So can squats. That being said, the benefits of both exercises are immense. I'll incorporate DLs into whatever workout routine I'm doing for as long as I'm able. I just don't think there's a substitute for them as far as giving a person a strong, yoked look.
I'm pretty much over my injury today. Had a little tweaking last night. My main issue is that I was sick for like 3 weeks, and I haven't worked out hardly at all. Then I go in and jump right back into DLs like I've been steady training. Dumb.
But yeah, DLs, for me, give me the most Return on my Time Investment than any other exercise. I can go in and DL for 10 minutes and feel like I got a workout in. Of course, I do more after that, but since it's a complex, full body exercise, it really does hit on all cylinders.
