Why not? It is perfect. It puts 1 of the big 3 lifts on each day. Deads on pull, squat on leg, and bench on push.

Thats a good balance. And I can see the action as a "pull," but its like putting a squat on a push day.

Then again I am not totally against putting them on a pull day, judging by my previous post.

good point.

i guess i didn't think of it that way, but it would have all 3 in a balanced routine.

Sure it is stabilizing...but say you are deadlifting 400 lbs...that's 400 lbs your erectors(among others) are stabilizing your spine from staying in an extremely limited range of motion. That's alot of work!

Now I'm on the deadlift should be done during lower side...but I think it can train the back to a pretty high degree.

you are right. My lower back is sore right now from heavy deads.

But ur lower back contracts isometrically (or should) under any and just about all circumstances. A wise trainer once told me..."everything is back work"
