The Difference between Deadlifts and Lunges 🔁

1️⃣ Deadlifts: posterior-chain emphasis

Deadlifts are primarily a hip-hinge movement, so they place more demand on the muscles along the back side of the body.

2️⃣ Lunges: single-leg knee + hip emphasis

Lunges involve considerably more knee flexion and unilateral stabilization, so the emphasis shifts toward the quads while still involving the glutes and hamstrings.
