With all due respect, you didn't post it as an opinion, but as a fact. At least, that was how I read it. Also, I didn't mean to be disrespectful, sorry about that.
@Uplift Regarding failure, I could also tell Jack Reape (spelling?). Both sides have two champions to back them up. I'm going with the not-to-failure side.
Super tendon en ligament strength ain't needed. They are already around 2-3x as strong as the muscle, i.e. the muscle will give out before the tendons and ligaments. The only tendons and ligaments you really would want to strengthen are the wrists and ankles, because they are the most vulnerable.
Why deadlifts aren't meant to be performed for over 5 reps? Because then it turns into a cardio workout, not a muscle-building one.
But then again, just do what works for you.
