There is no doubt that people get hurt by improperly executing these lifts. People need to educate themselves before getting into them. But imo you are probably more likely to develop chronic overuse injuries from a high volume isolationist routine. Also, many people come from this sort of isolation background and develop muscle imbalances. Then when they switch to the the compound movements and maybe use too much weight, they are prone to injury because of this.

Here is a for instance (I'll be the overhead press defender). How many people when they first start go crazy trying to develop their chest? They do beau coup bench, flyes, etc. so on, with many sets and reps and hardly touch their back and don't develop the scapular muscles and they have uneven shoulder development. Then they get wise one day and start doing overhead presses and boom, they get a rotator cuff injury. So, OHP's are bad! No, doing stupid ass shitty routines that try to focus on one muscle group without a balanced attack are bad.

BTW, deads involve quads as well so between the two it's pretty solid. BUT, as you advance there comes a time when you can't do just do squats and deads till you're blue in the face and have to round it out with other variations.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
