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.

    • R31 boot how I received the sub, cleaned and today new carpet installed. Thank you Solder!!!!
    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself
