Do you consider deadlifts a back or leg exercise?

It really is kind of both, but I found it to be one of the best upper back developers for me.

After my son was born a year ago, I didn't have time to hit the gym after work. So my buddy and I started going on our lunch break two days a week.

On day 1, I did bench and dumbbell rows.
On day 2, I did deadlifts and shoulder press.

With the exception of bench, I followed a 3X5 routine on all workouts. On bench I did a 7-5-3-1 with 20 pound splits. I actually had some of the best gains in my life. Unfortunately, I moved in June and lost my workout partner. I tried Wendler 5-3-1 because it has you lifting at a lower percentage of your max. My thought is that it would be safer on bench if I couldn't find a spotter.

While I maintained a good level of strength, my overall max lift slowly decreased over time. I was actually doing a more complicated workout, and seeing what I felt to be worse results.

You might not like me agreeing with you but I 100% do right here.
I made great progress by moving deadlift from leg day to back day.

Yes, yes it is. While you clarified it in a response post by adding weight per unit volume, your original statement is false as written. That's why I simply stated that people need to quit saying that. Perhaps I'm trying to debate semantics. However, words have meanings.

As someone who keeps deeming himself as more intelligent than I hopefully you would understand this concept.

If you can't do bench or are afraid of doing too heavy from no spotter, try doing heavy dips and do bench press with a chain (if you have those) or resistance bands. Proper technique and negatives are big helpers with bench press.

Fair enough but I didn't think it was something that needed to be further clarified.

Get in a power rack and put those bars across so the bar will just fall on them.

"A 1000 calorie deficit (or excess) per day will add up to 2 pounds lost (or gained) in a week. However, creating such a large deficit every day may be difficult and counterproductive. Remember that cutting calories too quickly and/or too much will slow your metabolic rate. The American College of Sports Medicine warns that calorie levels should never drop below 1200 calories/day for women or 1800/day for men; even these levels are very low."

Seriously? Some of know that density is not weight or mass. And you actually argued about it?
