Well people argue that they even out, but I've checked it out and the majority say it's a better back exercise. Although, there is still a large amount that say its a good leg also.

well its like basically a squat with the weight below your hips, still using your legs, but it makes you lift with the back too. but ya i do agree it does break your back muscles pretty good.

I'd recommend a trainer of some sort or an activity. That's what really got me pumped

Muy Thai FTW

My back would be insanely sore from a heavy lift of deadlift, would barely get out of bed. Lol.
Especially hate it when you get light headed when you deadlift haha.

V-Opolis

well i deadlift more than i squat, so my legs would get most of the brunt. light headed? never had that, need to drink them electrolytes/water maybe?

I'd like to gain weight too but my family's methabolism makes it not that easy to gain weight. My mom was skinny before she had kidney surgery, my sister can eat whatever she wants that she never gets fat (Like me)

I heard that if you swallow big chunks of food you get fatter. That's what i'm doing - Lots of proteins and big chunks.

Well I usually get light headed when I maxed out on deadlift.
Haha I squat more then I deadlift too.

I used to be really skinny, I ate whatever I wanted and still kept my skinny frame.Now I started weight lifting and got much bigger. If you want to just get fatter, than maybe research on how to slow down your metabolism.

nah, i DEADLIFT MORE than i squat...did i word that bad?

never get lightheaded or anything til i max leg press, cuz thats the most weight i ever can do, and it makes my heart feel like its gonna blow up.

think about it first...big chunks are the same calorie intake as taking it in smaller chunks... now if you eat faster you can usually stuff more food in ya, but that increases your calorie intake. gaining weight is all in the calorie intake, not how you eat your food, when you eat it, or from what hole you eat it.

weight gain = calories > body functions(living) +calories burned in exercise/movement(use of muscles past just living)

so if you burn 1000 calories for your body functions and 500 in exercise(running/walking) you would need to eat 1600 calories to store that as fat. i think its 2k calories is 1 lb of fat? so eat 2k calories more then you expend and you gain weight. for you, you probably have a high amount of calories burned in body functions(high metabolism)

now muscle wise, you just work out, and gain muscle mass and you gain weight as long as you have enough protein to repair and live.

I think this is all correct, im a bit tired cant think right now.

Erm... metabolism just means you won't put on body weight in fat easily because you're burning calories faster.
Even if you are trying to bulk up and gain weight, shouldn't you be trying to gain muscle?
