Me and my buddy, got into a little disagreement the other day. He claims that Dead LIfts only target your lower back, I argued with him for 2 hours on the issue and he still can't undestand. Can someone try to help me convince him. If you're using your lower back you're probably doing them wrong.. ------------------     | ||

Your Buddy is wrong.....has he even ever done dead-lifts???? Try your legs, arms, shoulders, back....every part of your body gets a great workout!!!! great for building strength and mass...maybe he should try them one day!! ------------------ | ||

Deadlifting hit all your back side. I got a killer back/traps/hams workout doing them. My upper back has definetly grown because of the deadlift. You have to consider that deadlifting is and compound movment, so there is a greater anabolic response of the body. That means that even if you wouldn�t hit your upper back doing it, it would grow anyway. Same as squat. ------------------ | ||

If you're doing them right, you should definately be sore in your lower back as well as your trapezius. You will be working your lats as well, although I find that my lats don't get sore from deadlifting. I sometimes feel soreness in my neck as well. I can even feel my arms and pecs tighten up when I do deads. This movement should work more muscles in your body than any other exercise. | ||

They work the whole back. Especially your traps. | ||

Deads stimulate and require more muscle groups than any other lift. This includes everything in the legs and BACK. | ||

Deadlifts seem to be the only exercise to target my back really well, i mean the whole back, other back exercises seem to just target my forearms. |
