Deadlifts...

[Scotsman]

I do deads on their own day. They work just about everything in the body so you can't classify them as a back or leg exercise. I generally also do leg movents along with deads.

SLDLs: mostly ham and glute. i squeeze my hams and glutes when i do these. i try as much as possible not to use my back for pulling the weight up.

Conventional Deads: back, baby. entire back. i also feel these in my legs a bit but omg the pump in the lower and mid back is phenomenal

clarification: I by no means whatsover am stating here that deads are a back only exercise LOL of course deads are a compound movement. of course it takes the ENTIRE BODY to do deads, from your head to your toes.

when I do deads, it burns the F*#$K out of my back. that's all.

I do deadlifts on deadlift day

sorry, but they kinda wipe me out.. tough to throw in any BB rows, chins..etc after DLs.

I do them to start my back workout

Both. Sldl's on leg day, deadlifts on back day.
