They're pretty much a good full body exercise. IMO

Right, but would it be a good idea to do them on back day?  I can't believe bodybuilding.com lists it for quads and doesn't even list back as a secondary muscle.

Do Romanian deadlifts instead. Hits back more and limits quads...

Yeah, I think.

I do stiff leg DL on Leg day and Power Lifting style DL on Back Day.

Bb.com says Romanians are for hamstrings and doesn't list back as a secondary.  What kind of operation are they running?

Getbig shows its superiority yet again. Despite the crappy search function.

Exactly. Stiff-legged deadlift for hamstrings and glutes. Normal deadlift for the whole back.

mainly lower back, lower traps, hams, quads, glutes and forearms.
to a smaller degree---the entire back

I've always done them for back. My hamstrings also get quite sore too.

Charles Poliquin says to do them on Leg Day, for your hamstrings. I tried it, but eventually the overload of doing both Squats and Deads, nearly killed me and my CNS.
