Deadlifts

[Chipper Jones78]

Do you guys do them on back day or leg day?

I like them on back day, as far away from leg day as possible

 

[Iceman1800]

I train them on deadlift day I love to deadlift so everything else is secondary

Exactly. I can not imagine going balls to the wall on squats and then have to dead lift afterwards. Some stiff legged dead lifts are fine but I dont go heavy on those.

i deadlift as far away as possible from leg day. sometimes, like someone else said, i do them by themselves. i find it a bit difficult to do heavy deads and heavy bent rows all on back day. depends on my energy levels on back day.

 

[Chipper Jones78]

Thanks for the reply guys.

I do 5 sets of power cleans and 5 sets of dead lifts. Love it. That is my back workout other than 2 sets of chin ups as a warm up before each workout.

But I'm certainly not a power lifter or BB. I just am.

Do you folks think it's enough rest to do:

LEGS ON TUES

WED REST

BACK ON THURS (WHICH INCLUDES DEADLIFTS)

Is one day rest enough?

I'd say it depends how hard you hit them and rep ranges and weights. if you feel you can do it then go for it. If you feel you cant go into back and give it your all, then move it around.

go with what your body tells you bro

I deadlift on back day, and squat on leg day.

But I don't deadlift every back day, and I don't squat every leg day.

I squat one week, deadlift the next, then squat the following week, deadlift the week after, etc.

i.e. squat on week 1,3,5,7......
deadlift on week 2,4,6,8........

Thanks Shelby - this makes sense.

I always try to do "too much" going to give the above a go

Cheers

I have squated and deadlifted on the same day. Go heavy on the deads every other week. On the light days I will do partials or go off of a block. I also bench on the same day. It is usually on saturday. Been doing it for years.

Same here with the rotation.....

I deadlift on back day, and squat on leg day.

But I don't deadlift every back day, and I don't squat every leg day.

deadlift on week 2,4,6,8........

 

[ridge11]

I alternate when I do deads. I do barbell deads with back. Straight leg smith deads with legs. But only do one or the other each week.

 

[fbxdan]

I do them on back day. It's the only exercise that makes my entire back sore.

I pretty much use that same rule, however if i free squat week 1, on week 2 when i do my deads i substitute free squats with either 3 sets on the leverage squat or perhaps 3 sets of reverse hack squats light weight but extremely controlled reps and about a 5 second negative
