I haven't but I should give it a shot. Way easier to keep your back straight and move the strain out of your spine and in to your pelvis. Even with good form, deadlifts by their very nature are a 'lift with your back' exercise and it's trivial to mess up the form and compromise your spine. I hate it, and most of the guys I know who have been injured in the gym, did it deadlifting. I think most physical therapists have a pretty low opinion of deadlifting for exactly that reason.

This video gave me a great idea on deadlifting form and injury and frankly I just decided anything like that is too much to bother with. "Muh sick gainz bro" ain't worth lifelong back problems. It only takes one accident to ruin your back for months, if not years.

Yeah, it also depends a lot upon your levers, and how you’re built. Some people are just built for certain lifts IMHO, and can get away with murder when moving the weight compared to some other builds.

My friend who was just around 21 at the time fucked up a deadlift at home and was in so much pain he was apparently stuck on the floor for a while. He had back issues for years afterwards. I worry it will come back to bite him hard in the future, but at least he thankfully has a good non-strenuous job. I've never tried a deadlift with real weight because of him, I think the highest I ever tried was just around 50lbs.
