So left or right Jow Forums??

Pendly row is superior

Deadlifts are a back exercise. Who told you otherwise?

I thought this was for rows until I read the filename

as user said, the longer the femour, the closer the back will be to staying parallel with the floor.

Not even memeing like you, deadlifts are a forearm exercise first and foremost. Everyone just goes straight to mixed grip or straps for their lmao2plate diddy

Deadlifts work your legs, back, and grip. Whichever one it feels like it works most for you is where you are the weakest.

>right just seems more natural

Deadlift is a hip hinge, not a squat.

If you do right enjoy having your hips shoot up and then finishing the lift with your back with 0 tightness.

It’s a hip extension you catback-pulling doublenigger, the glutes are the prime movers

lol ok

T. Hack squatter who can’t even do the exercise right

I'm a resident of snap city, herniated disc that has not recovered in 4 years, because I was a moron who did the left.

Your legs, forearms, lower back, and traps should all be sore from a proper deadlift.

>pulling a deadlift with your back
>doing it right
Pick one and only one

What the fuck kind of retard starts a pull with their back parallel to the floor

The things you mentioned DO need to be activated and are under load but the concept I'm expressing is that DL are primarily a leg exercise.

An analogy to this is benching. You can feel soreness in front delts when benching even with good scapula retraction.Still it's primarily works chest then tri.

Someone with long femurs and short arms

Your starting postion for deadlift depends entirely on limb lengths.

Memeing aside, I deadlift like in the middle pic because its what starting strength taught me, although I see strongmen and powerlifters deadlifting like they’re squatting. Is it like doing a wide stance low bar squat where it allows you to move more weight?

You don't move the angle of your back until somewhat past your knees, yeah? 100% all legs with back stabilizer.
In the process past your knees your back does do some work but it doesn't 100% take over. It's still mostly your legs. Overall it hits your back and it gets under load but it's primarily a leg exercise.

I always initiate with my legs and then fully extend my back at the same time I extend my knees. I feel it primarily in my lower back and hamstrings, but in a non-taxing way.

Between the two but closer to the right

>In a non-taxing way.
...
Right, because of what I'm saying.Think about it.
When you lift do you feel taxed in the targeted muscle group(s) or in stabilizers/tertiary muscles?

Again, you ARE using your back. It IS under load. You will feel it being used and can even get sore from it. I'm using the word primarily to mean substantially focused on/the majority of.
Legs is #1 focus of a good form d lift.

it depends. your body automatically assumes the strongest position.

>not a back exercise
>back is a stabilizer

hmmmm

again, it depends. some people pull with stiff legs (most striking example that comes to mind is Janashia, but probably a lot of tallfags), some people squat the weight up (Eddie Hall, Jesse Norris for instance)

>not and ab exercise
>core is a stabilizer

hmmmm

>shins not touching the bar

Left will fuck your spine

My legs are the only thing not tired after diddlys.

>the deadlift works the back as much as the bench press works the core

try again buddy

Literally has no clue what he's talking about: the post.

>forgetting the ass

he's mostly right, mate

so many retards in this thread.
the real answer is that it depends on your morphology.
typically guys with long legs/short torso will pull more like left, while guys with long torso/short legs will pull more like right.
sumo also allows you to pull more upright.
