One reason the OP isn't going after strength: she's a former athlete currently working to cross over into fitness modeling.

Which I find ironic. I've injured myself much more doing sports than lifting weights.

Also, some fitness models squat and deadlift, they shouldn't be afraid of systemic exercises, rather than isolated ones.

With the rest of the issues I kind of agree, still, I think it's a bit of exaggeration of risks.
