They are primarily nothing...what they work depends on how you do them, as there are many different styles of deadlifts. Off the ground in a full squat position is going to have more leg involvement, where as stiff legged with minimal leg bend will target your lower back throughout the range of motion.

Just see what muscles give you DOMS I guess, then you'll know what your deadlifts are "primarily" working lol.

What do you think the lumbar erectors are?

Erector spinae is the blanket term for the muscles that run parrallel to the spine.

There is iliocostalis lumborum, spinalis dorsi and longissimus dorsi all in the lumbar region. Deadlifts will also hit quadratic lumborum, but it's not grouped in with the "erector spinae" term.

It's just habit for me to refer to them as lumbar erectors to be slightly specific without naming them I guess...

brids was right, depending on how you do deads will depend greatly on what muscles are used the most and at what point.

i find normal deadlifts (where you actually hit the ground and reset every rep) to do the entire body, however if i lower the bar to near the ground without actually touching, it hits my back a thousand times more, I also find that I can do more reps this way.

sumo deads will do your arse and back more, stiff I find hits my hammys etc etc

Trying to decide if I should be getting something now to bulk up a little or just stick with it and increase my eating.

I have lost a total of 8kg over the past few months now since starting.

Currently sitting at 69kg 170cm

When you make up your mind let me know, I might be keen on getting some more stuff.

News just in guys.....

The gym and supplement Discussion world came to a screaching hault today when a 69kg man questioned wether he should start bulking up a little.

One witness was quoted as saying "dafuq?"

After some investigation it was found that the 69kg man [man...lol.. yeah right - Editor] was in fact studying to become a Bosu Ball instructor and so the shocking news was not so shocking but still quite queer.

I would just increase your eating like you said. You can make a DIY weight gainer (grinded oats, PB, milk and whey) which is pretty convenient. tastes alright as well.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
