The deadlift produces very high levels of erector spinae muscle activity, especially in the upper erector spinae.

When comparing the bent over row to the inverted row they reported superior muscle activity in the lower erector spinae in the bent over row but no differences between exercises in the upper erector spinae.

Therefore, it appears that the erector spinae displays greater muscle activity in the upper region in the deadlift compared to the back squat, but it is unclear whether a difference in muscle activity exists between the deadlift and the back squat in the lower erector spinae.

In contrast, in the descending phase, both upper and lower erector spinae muscle activity grew higher as the knee angle increased from the top portion of the lift (0 — 30 degrees knee flexion) to the bottom portion (61 — 90 degrees knee flexion).
