Squat or Deadlift?

[Mike_Rojas]

Which exercise do you think builds more muscle? I always thought squats were king, but now that I do deadlifts I find I'm growing all over like crazy.

Do both and don't worry about it!

I think deadlifts are the #1 exercise for total body mass myself, I just love checking my calendar and seeing that its deadlift day

Word is bond.

 

[Devastation]

they both have their benefits but i personally prefer deads if I must be doing them

I do them sumo and they are so similar in movement (my dead is basically a squat with my arms as hooks) that I get good results from both. Of course, anytime you introduce something new and compound like deads the new growth will be awesome
