I believe deadlifts are one of the best excercises you can do but I find most people either don’t do them right or don’t do them at all. How often do you deadlift and if so do you do them on leg day or back or neither? Also feel free to share your PR.
Currently I am deadlifting on back day once and week and my PR is 500 and done at 190lbs.

My split is upper lower and I do them on lower.2

I do them on back day, then 3 days later do legs. My PR is 585 at 2301
-
I do them on leg day, but I am only a beginner3
-
I put them on lower body days.1
-
I find that deadlifts stimulate & fatigue my hamstrings/glutes way more than my erectors/traps, therefore I do my deadlifting on leg days.4
-
My split is actually legs and back 2x a week; chest, shoulders, and arms 2x a week; and glutes alone 1x a week. I do conventional one day, sumo one day, and RDL one day.0

Just depends. Leg days I do heavy Sumo Deadlifts & mix in hip thrust& RDLs (lighter/High Rep) etc. && Back days, If Im feeling up for it ill do conventionals. I deadlift at most 2-3xx a week. But If Im on prep, I dont deadlift on my back day just on leg days.0

I do an A and B full body workout 3 times a week alternating A and B ... squats are in A and deadlift in B ... I wouldn’t want to squat heavy and deadlift heavy on the same day .. both of them totally wipe my out and stress the muscles hard ... I think I would injur myself trying to push the floor away from the bar after doing 5x5 on squats0

I do an A/B 2x per week full body program. I do deadlifts in workout B.0
-
I do full body workouts 4x a week.
Do DL& SQT 2x's week on alternate days and do 2 other upper body compound lifts/exercises on those days.
My DL 1RM is 400 @ 158# & 67 years of age.7 -
I do two types of deadlift. Basic and sumo deadlift. Basic deadlift on back day and sumo deadlift on leg day.0
-
I do them on deadlift days. Twice per week. Saturday I do them heavy alongside Squat and bench, and then I do them again on Wednesday with bench and either an upper or lower hypertrophy day.
I think my PR is 290 or 295. It better be 315 soon.4 -
I do them on one of my leg days. I do romanian deadlifts pretty much exclusively now and really target my glutes and hams. I would just feel odd doing them for one of my upper body days. I don't want to share my PR because it's embarrassing. lol0

Right now I am doing deadlifts on Back, Biceps, Butt & ABS day. Then I do RDL on Legs, Butt & ABS day.0
