squats and deadlifts on the same day?

[tgc4]

what do people think? should squats and deadlifts be done on the same day or are you better served doing them on seperate days so you can hit them both with maximum energy. I've been doing deads on my back day and squats with legs.

It entirely depends on your programming. I do heavy deads and squats on the same day because I cycle light medium and heavy days. I sometimes do find if I do deads first my squats can suffer from lower back tightness. I would think separate days is best for maximum performance and effort, so there's nothing wrong with deadlifts on back day and squats on legs day.

I use to squats and deadlits on the same day but now I do squats when I train quads and for back I do top deadlifts.

You can do Heavy squat/light dead Heavy dead/ LIght squat, probablly get better results long term splitting them up but if your strapped for time no harm done.

i think you need to be putting 100% into the 3 compounds cant possibly train them on the same day at the intensity youd be able to on separate days. Sheiko would say otherwise tho ahaa

imo deads/bench/squats command their own day.

as tom said in his journal i also did deads first the other day and i was fucked and had to cut my workout short... How you would do squats or deads after each other is beyond me

I you train squats on a monday and you got a free workout on say friday do some extra squats if you wanted to, two sessions of squats wouldnt hurt maybe main quad day do em max effort and on other day do em lighter controlled technically sound working on depth etc
