Just wondering which day would be ideal for deadlifts. I know they target both the legs as well as lower back. When do most of you guys deadlift?
And I am talking just regular deadlift here, not straight leg or anything.

well i dont do deads from the floor, i do quarter deadlifts in a power rack and i always do them on back day because thats what they work. you should give them a try, you start from about halfway up the shin from a dead stop each time and perform it like a regular deadlift. trust me, you'll notice a huge difference in your back man. and also, do different rep ranges when doing them. i go as low as 8 and as high as 15. good luck

well i used to do them on leg day but found that my legs were far more advanced than my back so i didnt feel it in the legs so i swaped it to back day and replaced it with squats
The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.

either works. i do straight leg deadlifts and i like working them on leg day - personally, i hate squats but love deadlifts, so DL is my prize after squatting. also, since leg day is also my core day, the lower back from DL fits in perfectly.
although, as i said before, i love deadlifts. sometimes i do them on back day (in addition to leg day), partly for fun, partly to give a little extra kick to my back day.

I do deadlift on my back days as my starting core lift. I am doing 5/3/1 and going pretty heavy on squats and deadlifts so it would be hard to get as much as I can out of both in one day. My final set of deadlift leaves me really exhausted. There is also a 3 day rest between my back and leg days just hitting the legs again for the second time in the week during deadlift is also beneficial in my mind.
