"Stop doing deadlifts" is the worst possible advice, I guarantee the guy telling you that is a skinnyfat redditor. There is greater risk of injury from NOT doing compound barbell exercises than from properly doing any one of them. Deadlifts are even recommended for seniors and injury rehab.
bodybuilding is a pharmaceutical contest and completely irrelevant to any discussion of physical fitness
It's actually just dangerous listening to non-lifters like turbotabs pretend to be experts. You hurt your back from twisting while moving the entertainment center thing, not from deadlifts.
