so I did my first deadlifts yesterday, and I do feel that it worked my lower back (muscle sore, not spinal pain) but in addition, my hamstrings got fucking KILLED. Like, I can hardly even stand up they are so sore. They feel like fucking jello.I was under the impression that this was an exercise that was for BACK days, not LEG days. And it certainly did a lot more for my legs than it did my back.
are you sure you didn't do straight leg deadlifts
the prime movers in the deadlift are the hamstrings and glutes, with some assistance from the quads at the bottom part
>>441811WTF how can they be for back only? HURRRRR MY QUADS KNOW ITS BACK DAY SO THEY WONT DO ANYTHING TODAY.
l2posterior chainIf your glutes and hams got hammered, GOOD
This is why deadlifts are better than shitz
true pimps in the gym deadlift. pulled a 415 2 weeks ago, left eye went bloodshot
>>441879that doesn't sound very healthy
>>441856shitz=squatz ?lolwat
>>441879Sounds fucking awesome.The best thing is when you get ridiculous tunnel vision halfway through the lift.
