Totally disagree with both posts
It's a low back strengthening exercise not the best but the best you'll ever do with a barbell
 
It's a posterior chain exercise. Predominantly glutes/hams. YMMV.

You are right, done they way you described but does it really, effectively work the glutes and ham's in a meaningful manner?

load the bar up and the glutes does the majority of the work load.

lessen the load considerably, lock the knee flex the spine and you've got a perfect low back strengthening exercise for which it was intended.

a perfect accompaniment to the squat.

Agreed, it is an excellent 'accessory' to both the squat and DL.
