Dan John's a funny man. If you're in any doubt, the following from his latest T-Nation piece should clear things up:
The young people reading this should know that all the following are bad for you: squats, bench presses, deadlifts, snatches, cleans, lat pulldowns, curls, leg extensions, and basically anything that Arnold did while he trained.
The article, once you manage to stop laughing, is on the most effective exercises to use when training a large group of people. And despite the preceding quote, deadlifts are top of the list.
Can't get enough of Dan's words of wisdom? If you missed it the first time, grab his recent interview on the FitCast. The video version is also well worth watching - especially if you're about to squat.
