Write something...im a begginer we have to do the set 2 times a day ?for how many weeks ?
The squat and the deadlift are actually very fundamentally different. Prime movers for the squat include the quads and the glutes, while the deadlift focuses much more on the hamstring and stabilization capacity of the core. Of course, the muscle groups that are worked all depend on how you're performing the movement. I personally preach the Romanian Deadlift (not quite a straight-leg deadlift, but close) in order to maximize hamstring involvement and ensure a balance in strength between quads and hammys, although I change my tune if somebody is using the deadlift as a skill-transfer exercise to improve a different movement.
But isnt the squat basically the same thing as a deadlift without a barbell?
