Shit talk the website and business that is T-Nation all you want. They post some dumb shit.

Experienced, educated strength and conditioning coaches with years of practice under their belt are guna require a bit more qualification from you than your opinion that they’re wrong.

I’m curious if you read the article at all or know who the author is.
Guys I don't want to get into the debate .. but I'm gonna say, I have pretty good deadlift form, have been focusing on good form ever since I hurt my back years ago, to prevent it from happening again... When I hit a deadlift workout hard... Yes I feel it in my legs a ton.. but I feel the most burn in my lower back, then my traps.... Then the rest of my back, then my legs, in that order, based off like what I feel is working and what I feel fatigue in as the workout progresses. Also feel more soreness the days after mostly in that order...
But I will say guys, that does not necessarily mean that I'm not working my legs out more or less... Doesn't that really just speak to what your stronger attributes are??? Like if it's easier on my legs than the other parts that fatigue or work harder, I just think it could mean my legs are stronger than those other muscle groups.

I don't feel it in my legs at all, minus maybe some hamstring/ glute activation. My dead lift is my lift...
 
I have found that Old Navy’s athletic cut jeans are decent. I’m nowhere near Mr. Quadzilla, @Mac11wildcat but for the $40 price, they’re hard to beat. And ON is always having sales on their denim too.
American eagle is where I find mine. I have to get the stretchy kind. No not tapered. Boot cut. I were cowboy boots and a dress shirt for work:-)
 
If you were to pull sumo it would absolutely take the strain off your back and make your glutes the primary with hams and quads assisting pushing your back down the list.

But IMO (and lets be clear, this is a debate like clean eating vs IIFYM or full ROM vs constant tension) the conventional DL is more back than legs.

I’m sure there’s a study measuring activations of groups during these lift forms. I’ll try to find one. I prefer science to opinion.
 
Something I like to do after my heavy dead day is some reverse hypers. No set in stone sets/reps, just go by how I feel...

I built a poverty-looking platform out of some scrap lumber, and made some extra safety's out of 5/8" steel rod to span the width of my rack.
 
I'm to technologically illiterate to edit my identity out of these video's or I would post some dead lifts. Regardless, in a proper conventional DL legs don't do much work. Also, the picture of the posterior chain would be correct but it forgot quite a few muscles used during the DL exercise when performed correctly. It isn't a leg day movement, unless you are pre-fatiguing your lower back before squats, which some programs actually call for...tried that and fuck that. We are all on a different page as far as programming and style of lifting goes, some bb's, some pl's, some in between, so I can't say anyone is wrong, but I would advise training deads with upper back, instead of legs.
