Question on deads?

[Uk Boy]

Where do people put deads in a routine? With back or legs? Do you do them first second or last? Do you do stiff leg only,bent leg only or both types?

I do them with back. Just do them at least 3 days apart though.

This belongs in the traing forum bro.

yep...If you can do squats and deads in the same workout...you aint doing something right!

Personally, i do deads with back...

I do them with legs and try to keep my legs as stiff as I can without making myself uncomfortable.

Ive tried all the combos bro. I just wondered which was the best and I would agree with you that on back day would be best. I actually stopped doing them because I injured my lower back but will be starting them again soon.

I do them with back always as the first exercise. And only bent leg deads. I did them on Saturday afternoon and my traps and hamstrings are still sore as hell...

depends on your plit. if you doin a two split many do squats and stiff legs on leg day. (once per week) then do upper on the second day. i seen some splits where the only leg movment was trap bar deads. I squat on mondays, sometimes sundays and pull deads on thursday. i alternate deads every week as well. one week full pulls, the next stiff legs, the next rack pulls. keeps me fresh so i dont overtrain. good luck UK. there is a routine in the sticky "do deads thicken waste" read the entire thread as there is some great stuff, a routine and some work outs posted. good question.

I do them on back day. I have to do them last b/c they take all my energy. If I did them first I wouldn't be worth a shit on anything else. I do do traps after them though but thats it. Then I hit legs 3 days later.

End of day on back day for me as well. After my working set, I'm dizzy, disoriented, and 100% DONE with the gym for the day.

I do a deadlift variation every 3 weeks on Max Effort Squat/Deadlift day.

Sometimes I do sumo's as hip accessory work. I'm going to start adding Dimel Deads for lockout power once or twice a week. And since my pec seems to be better, I'll probably start doing speed deads on Dynamic Squat/DL day.

That's one big piece of cloth.

I do the conventional deads on back day. I put them first and go heavy for about 5 reps per set for 2-5 sets. No more than once per week and take a break from them as needed.

Stiff-leg deads should be on leg day. Probably the best hamstring excersise. If you choose to do SL right after squats, leg day will be very short.

 

[Golden_Muscle]

Hahaha, you guys do dead lifts at the end of your workout!?

Heavy duty exercises shoulde be done first.
