squat and deads

[mrtraps87]

hey i was taking a look at some of the strongest powerlifters routines and many of them do squats and deads on the same day. brian siders, gary frank, and andy bolton. do any of you do this? ive been doing it for a few months and both lifts are starting to rise. i feel that doing squats first really primes your muscles up for the deadlift. another thing i noticed is they all used very high volume.

I would never do that since I work to failure.
if you have any energy to deads after squats, you did not push your self hard enough with squats.

It takes alot of energy to squat and pull on the same day, not to mention a long workout. Many, myself included have done well, with a setup like this:

day 1,
squat heavy- singles in gear
speed pulls 6-9 singles
rack pulls up to 5 rep max

day 2,
lighter squats for reps
Stiff leg DL
lats
ghr


i have also done well with alternateing heavy squat and dl every week.

week 1 day 1:
heavy squats for reps
speed pulls
sometimes rack pulls up to max 5
always ghr 3-4 sets of 15

week 2 day 1:
heavy DL up to single and back down to 80% for reps for 2-3 sets
Squats; 80% for 6 sets of 2, no belt
ghr 3-4 sets 15


day 2 every week:
Squats at 65% max for 8 sets of 2, or 3 sets of 5
stiff legs 3 sets of 10
leg ext 3 sets of 15
sometime ghr if i have anything left.


first workout i used for squat suit, but can be done without.second, i used for raw, no suit briefs, knee wraps or belt, but will work for both. hope this helps ya.
