I know they work a lot of different muscles, but I mostly feel them in my lower back and my hamstrings.

Which days do most of you do deadlifts on? Your leg day or your back day? I just started doing them yesterday (thursday is leg day) and it seemed fine, but I wasn't sure if it might be better to use it on back day instead?

I do deadlifts on back day and stiff legged deadlifts on leg day.

Back day.
Squats AND deadlifts would be way too much in one day, one of them would not be getting your 100% b/c you'd already be pretty worn out.

If you want to take the legs out of deadlifts you can do partial deadlifts from the knee up, your back will receive the same results

I definately do them on back day. i never really felt much in the legs, which has a lot to do with how i do them. i cant imagine doing squats then deadlifts. it can be done, but i prefer splitting them up.
