Hello everybody.
Yesterday I did 4 sets of deadlifts.
I was thinking, as everybody told me on the internet, that deadlift were the best exercise for building a massive back.
However, today, instead of feeling soreness in any part of my back, I just feeling some fatigue in my hamstrings. No feeling at all in the back.
So, how could a back exercise target principally a leg muscle ?

Hamstrings are a big mover in the deadlift. The entire posterior chain is.
Your individual form can help sway which muscles are emphasized more. If you post a video it might make things more clear.
It could also be that your legs are less trained/weaker than your low back so it is feeling it more.-

The deadlift works primarily the lower back, but hams and glutes are both hit very hard as well, what you are experiencing is quite normal.My Journal (RIP 05/11 - 09/13):

Although it's a big part of the lift, your hamstrings would not suffer such a serious extent of DOMS. However... I'm not even sure 'how' sore his hams are.

This is sort of a good thing if he isn't getting any lower back pain. It means he performed an SLDL/RDL depending on knee bend very well.Originally Posted by PeterGibbons316
I get hamstring/glute DOMS as well more often than back on deadlifts and honestly I wouldn't trade it for the reverse.Misc Strength Crew

I usually get sore in my hams, glutes and lower back when I do deadlifts
