I do them on back day. They'll pretty much thicken up your whole back. Traps, lats, rhomboids, lower back, etc. Starting off I'd say go light to make sure your form is down right. Deads are an exercise better in the lower rep range imo. I'd say start off w/ 3 sets of around 4-5 reps.

thanks i am looking forward to trying it on my next back day its funny i never see anyone in my gym doing it but i saw the vidieo on here with a good form

I alternate weeks of doing deadlifts and squats. I do deadlifts on back day one week and only do the leg press for the following leg workout, and the next week I will skip deadlifts on back day and do squats on leg day. My back starts acting up if I do both in the same week.

back day- 5X5's work great for me.

At least 5 sets. If you've never done them start with 135. As far as reps. I'd keep them above 5 for the time being. Also you need to decide wheter you want to pullo traditional like tman or sumo like me.

I've only ever done one work set on deads. That's all I have in me typically.

rocco is right on this. stay light, higher reps (8-10) and get the form right. when you have the form worked out, raise the weight and lower the reps. You will like the results.
