Note: deadlifts do not "annihilate" joints. Resistance training strengthens and improves joints. Repetitive impact behavior like running on concrete does annihilate joints though.

This is from a context of "4 plates used to be pretty easy, then I took several years off lifting". I know no faster way to get injured in the gym than to try to grind a new 1RM after a lengthy break.
Okay great, but that has nothing to do with your joints, unless you meant vertebral joints, but that is not the common parlance. You might injure a muscle belly.
