I tried using it for a cycle, both regular and on a deficit, and really enjoyed it; it felt like a very athletic and natural movement, especially done dynamic against bands.
After a few workouts my back was completely screwed up and I was out for a couple weeks.
Dunno.
If I could use it, I'd use it not for lifting heavy (like a regular DL), but for athletic training, like I mentioned. It's a squat more than a pull and it resembles jumping more closely than most things you can load.
