Squats, Deads??

["Lil boy"]

ok currently i'm doing Squats and Dead on an every other week program. weeks that i'm on deads i don't have squats and visa versa. any comments on this ? .. i NEED my legs to grow,,, and i like how Deads just make everything grow,,, should they both be hit EVERY week???? or leave it as it is? post opinion pls.

what does the rest of your routine look like?
I dont do both in the same week but different variations of each. for instance. if i squat monday, ill sub. rack pulls for DL's. wed.
or if I DL from the floor ill use good mornings or hack squat on leg day.

 

[pullinbig]

i squat and pull every week. just rotate my pulls with rack work.

 

[Behemoth]

I do squats and deads in the same week too. I don't see any problem with it.

 

[blackbeard]

it depends on what your suat routine looks like
i pull after doing dynamic effort squats
sometime i pull a little heavier sometime i do speed pulls

dont see anything wrong with having a separate squat and a separate dead workout

 

[joshbeam1]

I also do squats and deads every wk. Will be alternating pulling deads and dimel deads every other wk or some kind of rack work on deads...still doing dls weekly though as well as squats. I'm making GREAT gains. Gotta keep your diet in check 2. Pork out.

you dont have to have a power rack to do rack pulls. heres what we pull off of.

there are several variations of dead exercises that you can rotate weekly.

i also noticed you only doing one posterior core movement per week. whats up with that? you wana bigger dead you gotta work that posterior core.

reverse hypers
glute ham raise
GMs
pull thrus
hyper extensions with weight/bands
45° hypers with weight/bands
dimel deads
sldl
etc...............

add some type of row in as well for upper back other than pull down/up

pullbig ,, sorry ,,, my close grips ARE rows ,, forgot to write that part of it! do i need to add more rows than that in my back day?

 

[pullinbig]

one is fine, less you lacking upper back strength and getting rounded off on your deads.

 

[pretty ricky]

i squat and pull sldl all the time.that will put you in pain!!if i pull from the floor which i dont do very often i will not squat and vice versa.if i squat then pull it wont be from the floor.full out deads and squats take major effort!doing em same day back2back WOW thats a days work fo sure!

don't understand this reply pullbig?

 

[pullinbig]

one upper back movement is enough. (rows, face pulls, etc....) but if you lack upper back strength and are getting rounded over on your deads then add another upper back movement to help strengthen upper back.
