I think deadlifts are extremely overrated in this aspect . Made much better progress after I stopped deadlifting in regards to my back


Seeing as the primary function of the lats is to pull the arms into the body, you're correct. I think heavy rows (usually a main accessory for deads) is the main lat builder here.

Deads are a decent trap exercise tho. Plus, doing deads actually gets me to work my traps as I hate doing shrugs.

Yup I've been doing lots of rows since I stopped deadlifting and man my back has gotten big. Rows have always helped my forearms too

if you aren't doing a ton of accessory volume / it isn't very taxing on your CNS, and you are eating and sleeping enough, you can definitely push back your deload times

Thats what I figured. I'm eating right, still a novice by far, usually getting adequate rest.
