I think these movements got a bad rep because for the longest time, they have been associating with powerlifting and thus people do them with strength-based styles, which means low reps and high amounts of weight (for them)
which means many people don't get the required time to properly practice their forms and get it down right using a healthy amount of weight, ego lifting is a big part of it, too
if I was just starting deads, I would do 8-12 reps and do stiff leg deadlift because it necessitates a lower weight than other versions
faggots doing autistic sumo weight belt and weightmaxxing are twats who ruined the deadlift's rep
