Same
This is exactly why I only squat now; rowing is way too much lower back stress, adding deadlifts just once a week is way too taxing on the muscles, not to mention it's incredibly hard for me to have good form with my extra long torso.
Squats hit the entire legs, and also get most of the back, but definitely abs too. Not so much forearms, but I feel like making a "shelf" with your traps for the bar to rest on would add extra size there too. Don't quote me on that.
100% agree500+ Just say rep back

Deadlifts are more CNS exhaustive, and if used correctly can provide alot more mass to the back than squats can, and since i think the back is the holy grail of bodybuilding, i will have to say deadlifts.
However i must say, i love squats and they are my main leg exercise, coupled with SLDL, and some leg extensions
Correct deadlifts will leave your low back pumped, and your hamstrings destroyed. I feel squats are more of a quad dominant movement, because i feel there is no point to a low-bar squat as the movement almost mimics a deadlift. ATG high bar squats imo, are prob the best leg builder.
Moral of the story, do both + 1-2 isolations = big legs and backStaple Supplements:

Might have to do with loads. I switched from high bar 3-4 months ago, 1 session a week. Squat went up more than 30kg in the process and squat more days, more volume etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you did OLy before... wouldn't you have been squating a lot more than when you are doing powerlifting? less volume + a wider squat stance that doesn't put as much emphasis = less development, and perharps even backwards.
I guess what I'm trying to say, I went from high bar 1x a week to low bar 2-3 times a week. Thus for me, my quads are getting hit much more than they once did.
If you went from squatting 5 times a week with a quad dominant high bar to 2-3 times a week lowbar, it does make sense that the quads lost development.
Maybe I am wrong in my assumption, but my quads are as big as they have ever been."Do not subordinate fundamental principles to minor details."

It's a good assumption, and it is true.
What I was saying was that the mid thigh measurement was still insanely large, as where the quads, where I notice the greatest loss was near the knee, the bottom of my sweep and tear drop are not as pronounced as they once were. Those areas take a full movement of the knee to activate best.
My hams and glutes did explode.

Interesting, I have never really put much attention to any measurements closse to knee, just mid thigh, lots of mass have been put there through low bar. probably my lower leg is lacking.
Initially when I decided to switch lowbar, I had the intentions to do Power day, high bar atg, speed day. So my quads would still be hit. As time went on I lost a bit of motivation on high's as I liked putting higher numbers with low bar back squatting. Probably false economics as I have lost considerable power on high bar.
I think it is time to incorporate them again, cheers/"Do not subordinate fundamental principles to minor details."

Hát ja nem gondoltam volna hogy bb.com-on ennyi magyart találok
I never understand how people can squat more or same as their deadlift, I think if squats are done with proper form and full ROM you should be able to deadlift more (unless of course you don't have a strong grip)
My 1RM on deads now is around 290-300lbs if i had to guess and on squats i probably couldn't even hit parallel with the same weight, and lets not even talk about ATG then."You wont find strong men with weak hands"
