Deadlifts do not lead to a better defined body, and MAYBE pull-ups? Pull-ups are the number one exercise. Obviously you don't know what you are talking about.

In what way does the deadlift, the compoundiest compound movement that crosses almost every joint of your body not good for total development.

Pull-ups are more “iso” than any other lift on that list?

Deadlifts have been proven not to add definition to the body. Just because something is heavy doesn't mean it'll lead to more muscle. There is a difference between strongmen and bodybuilders.

No lift “adds definition” eating and dryness does that. The deadlift provides almost total body stimulus and can be very easily progressively loaded. “Just because something is heavy doesn’t mean it’ll lead to more muscle” - correct, but more stimuli is the definition of leading to more muscle.

You go ahead and do deadlifts then and ignore the study that just came out about it not leading to greater muscle hypertrophy compared to other exercises

In specific muscle groups yea, but total body strength and development is different from muscle hypertrophy of specific groups

The post was about more muscle/sculpting, not total body strength

“Sculpting” isn’t done with lifting. “Sculpting” is just body fat/water content.
