Deadlifts are back day exercises and I will not budge off this hill
Every exercise is a back day exercise if you do it wrong enough.
I see you've read my workout books and watched the videos.
Don't have to do leg day if you break your back haha
That’s just your upper upper legs
This is the spirit
I’ve been lifting for 25 years now and have concluded that deadlifts can fit on any day.
I lift weights at home (husband accumulated a set of bars and plates and dumbbells before we got together), it's not my main workout but deadlifts are the only lift I actually honest to God enjoy. And it helps a lot with yoga.
A lot of people start off with them and go hard but even Arnold threw them in at the end of his workout for 10 reps!
I scale the weight up as I do other things, start with unloaded 30lb bar, adding 10lb for sets of 10 until I can do only 5 reps then stop. Most stuff (curls, etc) I cannot do much weight so each exercise I drop off as I cannot do, towards the end it's literally just deadlifts, add weight, more deadlifts.
I love it. We used to do this in high school but with seated cable pulls. I didn’t understand how to activate certain muscles at that age so I ended up with big arms instead of a big back!
That’s where the deadlifts come in..
Arms are arms, chest is chest, everything else is legs
I use resistance bands and they have pull day and push day, which seems more reasonable
Deadlift is a "deadlift day" exercise
