Ya compound exercises are (generally) supposed to be done at the beginning of a session afaik. Obv google's my friend here but I wanna give the kid some action.

For people with poor mobility/olds/etc they generally do better with more accessory work in the beginning. You forsake prioritization and some other lolz. But life is all tradeoffs.

If your goal is hypertrophy I see no reason to kill yourself in the beginning of your workout with heavy deadlifts.

Considering that deads hit everything, why would you not want to do the maximum weight you can possibly do on it? Are you trying to tell me that your weight and rep range don't change no matter if you do deads and the start or the end of the workout?

JUST ROFL

If your goal is a better looking body deadlifts are not mandatory I'll even go that way and call it a overrated exercise. Deadlifts mainly target your posterior chain, and sure as hell is a good exercise for your hams, glutes and lower back. However If you are average Joe trying to look better on the beach or in a T shirt there is just no point in exhausting yourself that much for very little effective gain for your actual goals.

5'9 160 is jacked?

I think EV would take OP in a nude-off. Op's abs look a bit soft and possibly cottage cheesy. EV ripped at 160.

I presumed Emoken, but was also throwing bdidy and busto (RIP) into the mix... I even later considered clowntown. He is an even better SAD than busto and his arms are Too Big.

Holy cow, that's more weight than most people warm up with. Maybe you should start a well too.

Pre workout supplements, redbull in powder form? Worth buying or just expensive caffeine with added science?

Pre will give you more then just naked caffeine. On the other hand caffeine pills are way more economical. Especially if you start firing off EC stacks. Do your research before you do that though lol.

What is the average weight you deadlift? Average reps?

Did it take over a year of lifting to be able to do 500lbs for reps? Or did it come easy, say 6 or 7 months?

Many years to reach what you consider average? Damn. That leads me to something I've noticed about my stream of consciousness since I got back into lifting a few months ago, namely, I'm less at ease with myself physically and I think about lifting more than a cool person should (if you buy that the epitome of cool is Clint Eastwood as The Man With No Name.) Blondie wouldn't gaf about hitting his macros and proper rest and nutrition, wtf. I just want to workout and forget about lifting until the next workout. It's monopolizing my thoughts over more important things, like money and organized crime.
