Why does every one do Deadlift for back why not do it for hammy day legcurls, deadlifts,rope pull thru's and one leg squats all for Hamstrings

I reckon stiff leg deadlifts for hamstrings and conventional for lower back.

I feel a convention deadlift more in more back rather than hamstrings, also don't like to but much strain on my lower back before/after squats.

nothing quite hits the back like deadlifts, well for me anyway.

as JB said SLD deads and romanian deads are more suitable for hammies, not to say that conventional deads are not.

Im the same though after i do deads my lower back feels pretty vulnerable if i attempt heavy squats etc.

deadlifts are on hammy day warm up doing legcurls then hit low back hammie with deadlifts have done tis type of training before and it hammers you no squats on this day thats another workout day :grin:

Man deadlift is the king of the big back, nothing smashes my back more than reping out the heavy set of deads

I know it hits the back really well but if you train hammies as well as deadlifting you are really hitting your posterior chain by training it like this

IMO, deads is more of a strength base movement, rather than hypertrophy.

You can use it for both; gaining muscle & strength, but almost certain you'll get more out of it as a strength movement.

I like hitting 2-3 reps max on deadlifts (always keeping around 85-92% 1RM), Anything higher is usually when im warming up.

you can change how you do it depending on where you really want to feel it but as it gets heavier it just turns from a 'back' or 'hamstring' thing to almost everything.. well for me anyway

SLD for hammies all the way..........If you concentrate on activating the hammy and the ham glute tie in instead of maxing out on weight you will see (feel :puke:) the best results. In saying that if you can lift heavy and still isolate get into it.
