Well I think it depends on your build and stance. For some of the short leg, long arm guys it is definitely a leg exercise. For a leggy MFer like myself, my back takes a lot of the brunt since I have to bend over so far to keep balance. Or, if you're a wide sumo guy, then you can utilize legs much more without bending over much at all.
But yeah, I do them on back day (only rack deads and only relatively light since I tore my lat)
