A friend and I have a bet going, He says the deadlift is an exercise for the legs, while I say it is for the Back. Please tell him that I am right. Thanks

. Deadlifts are an incredible overall power exercise that involve many muscles in your body. They strengthen your legs and arms, and they also directly strengthen the LOWER BACK muscles Secondary muscles, hamstrings, glutes quads
YOUR BOTH RIGHT
