I want to get the most out of each lift. I have to seperate my 2 days. When I first began training I would be able to knock everything out in one day. I'd do squats and deads the same day, or 2 types of deads the same day. Now? Well with that workload its tough to do with proper form. I see people day in and day out telling me about their routine that they do this and they do that. Then watch them do it, and wala...their form is aweful because of improper planning. Not that you fellas dont plan correctly, I am just stating this from my experience. Same thing with deads, I couldnt imagine doing a different varation of deads at the same intensity after the first exercise of deads. Just my opinion.
