What do you think its the best day for deadlifts? Some websites classify it as a quadriceps exercise, some as a erector spinae exercise. From what I know its an all round body exercise. So I am a little confused on what day I should be doing it.
This is my legs day:
Barbbell Squats
Dumbbell Lunges
Barbell Stiff Leg Deadlifts (for hamstrings)
Dumbbell Single Leg Calft Raises
This is my Back Day:
Barbell Pullovers
Barbell Shrugs
Pullups
Single Arm Dumbbell Rows
Should I just replace the Stiff Leg Deadlifts with Normal Deadlifts? Or should I move them on my Back Day?

ive seen this argument a lot of times and it seems almost 50/50 split legs and back. generally people training for strength have it more often on legs day and bodybuilders almost always perform them on back day. the argument for legs day is that the muscles of the leg go through a larger ROM in a deadlift, but i feel my back muscles working much harder and i like it on back day. biomechanics play a big part in how every1 deadlifts tho. and also i think nothing really replaces the feel of deadlifts for back, but there are good ways to replace them for leg workouts.

This. A few sets of squats is generally enough for me to have to sit down for about five minutes recovering my breath and composure. I do some body weight squats afterwards to cool down a bit, and then move on to lunges. I might do some calf work too, and I finally finish off with the leg press machine.
At eighteen years old, I can fairly certainly say that squats and deadlifts done on the same day with the intensity that they deserve would put me into cardiac arrest.Training, philosophy, nutrition and biomedical discussion (2.0): http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=146797403

back day, but i always do back mon or tues and do legs on fri so i have plenty of space in between them, for me they are by far the two hardest days. gotta love cleans, hang cleans, hang clean and presses, deadlifts, straight leg deadlifts, OUCH!!! NOT all on the same workout btw ;0
I've got a very unique style
