I just finished the last day of ABBH part 1 yesterday. The big lift is 10x5 heavy deads. So today, I am sore, but not where I expect to be. My shoulders, forearms, and lower back are sore, but not my legs. So, I should say its not a bad sore - probably will feel fine tomorrow but its troubling that the main muscle group targeted is not sore.
So, I should probably be using more weight to work the legs better, but do any of you experience similar soreness after deads?

Heavy Deads target the lower back, grip, and shoulders so you are feeling it in the right places. Stiff-legged deads target the hams and glutes more
