Deadlifts: Back day or Leg day?

[gbb_04]

I prefer them on leg day. But I think I'm going to change things up a bit and start incorporating them on back day. What do you all think?

....my preference is leg day.

unless your doing upper lower split or westside doing squats/deads i'd def say do deads for BACK and first!!! Bodybuilding you should def change it up and sometimes do them last or whatever but They will build the sickest back IMO along with hitting almost all muscles in body...

Haven't done this in a good while, but I used to like to get em' both in same workout.

Set-up for both { I know, hogging the Equipment.. shame on me }, but the Majority of the time I'd do this at home.

Start with warm up weight on both, (1 wheel aside 135 lbs.) Get some blood flowing in both Squats , "and" Deads.

Do a set of Squats, 12-15, then like 10- 12 Deads, add wgt.
repeat, add more weight, repeat til working set weight is
Achieved , usually no more than 6 sets of each.

Before unloading the plates , go right to a bench with s decent sized dumbbell, say 50 to start and do cross the Bench semi-stiff pullovers to stretch the ribcage, and ease
Some of the tension from the Brutal work.. ,on the Lowe back & ribcage.

Brutal, but effective.

I used to do workouts like that back when i first started and read a lot of IRONMAN MAGAZINE training programs... That had alot of SQUAT/BENCH/DEADS 2-3x week routines often doing crazy old school stuff like 1x20 death squats pullovers etc.. I was intense and built great foundation though... The routine you posted was alot like super squat routine but they didnt deadlift just a set of 10rm norm but you did "breathing squats" so youd take a weight you could do ten with and basically do 20 by resting at the top till you could get more and they also recc drinking like a gallon of milk and doing pullovers lol

I have always done them on leg day. My back cant handle it if I do them on back day and then squat on a different day.

"This" is a way to train the two parts as a "system" Lower Back/Legs, even tho the Deads will stimulate just about everything . Sort of why I started (did ) them that way, a d because I had a hard time figuring where best to put legs in the routine, When you've already "Thrashed " legs just a day or two ago etc (and vice versa ) , and so I stuck with it for a good spell, that and my newly adopted eating plan/habits took me from just a little over 200, to 241.

Next level..

Now, I'm trying (struggling also) out of nothing more than sheer lack of motivation, mYbe laziness..?

But today, my legs are screaming, tomorrow they'll be worse. Good screaming tho, good pain
They always get sorest about 48 hrs later , I did then not eve. 18 hours ago and they hurt now.

But a gave my single speed bike a food hard ride today too, and went and chowed a HUGE breakfast & back home.e for sleep. { Midnights }

Keep this baby going, C'mon inspire us. Olde guy's whatcha got....? I want to hear what works /had worked from you ( not just you biggc1, anyone who cares to chime in )

Oh, CE.., hey brother ha EA you tried , or considered "Pre~Exhaust" , or Tri, or Giant sets..?

Effective, and don't have to use nearly as much weight, Lot of times it's no about any serious wght, just the "Intensity"
And I'm sure you already know that.
