Lifts which don’t really make sense?

For example, dead lift, to dead lift something off the floor… Doesn’t really make sense?

1. Problem one: your legs your knees your shins getting in the way: the optimal way to do a dead lift is getting rid of your legs, shins, ankles etc. Solution: open hex bar deadlift
2. Problem 2: It makes sense to carry a 2 ton ox on your shoulders and walk around. What doesn’t really make sense is having a 2 ton ox on your shoulders, somehow squatting down and then standing up again.
