Adding to that. This is what I fucking hate about everyone dancing around saying "what works for me may not work for you" bullshit. This is mostly an excuse for people to do dumbshit or ridiculous workouts.

There was originaly more back work but I Dont have the equipment for it.

But why do you have to do dead on a leg day? Although legs are the primary movers of deads, they usually ROCK my back wayy more! Squats should definately be on a leg day, but if I do deads on the same day, I'd be killed!!

MY split for the big 3 goes.

Chest/Tri - Bench
Back/Bi - Deads
Legs - Squat

what do u think?

When I think back I think lats/traps/posterior delts/biceps....or muscles that work together in a pulling fashion. The erectors are part of the huge posterior chain IMO which are responsible for different movements. And since they are responsible for different movements, I train them on different days. First day is squats/SLDL's/lunges...Second day is Deads/Front Squats/Good Mornings.

On my leg days (there are two of them for me.) One day I do lots of quads and a little hip/ham..the other I do lots of hip/hamstring work and a little quads...

You said it yourself...the legs are the primary movers in the lift.

Some people do it on back day...I don't and I don't agree with it. I suppose it is still somewhat up to personal preference.
