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.

If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

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.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
