Deadlifts every second week?

ruggaz · 12-16-2003, 07:28 PM

My Back day is on Tuesday ad my leg day is on saturday. I find that if i do deads (regular deads) my hamstrings are still to sore on saturday to do legs. What can i do? Should i do deads every other week?

Cheers

The Deadlift is a very unforgiving movement, extremly rough on your body, but it's an essential. I'd suggest Deadlift Heavy as hell once every two weeks. Allow yourself to recover. Or possibly try this:

Week 1: Light Deadlift
Week 2: Heavy Deadlift
Week 3: Off

Just sorta pulled that out my ass but I'm guessing it wouldn't be to bad man.

You could do deads and legs on the same day. Unless ofcourse your chicken!

I do heavy deads once every 3 weeks with Gopro's schedule. Works great!

I do my deadilfts on leg day now because I wass having the same problem doing them on back day that you are haivng. I either squat or I do deads. I alterante my weeks between a heavy week and a light week. So my leg workouts look like this:

week 1: heavy squat
week 2: light sqaut
week 3: heavy dead
week 4: light deadlifts (usually trap bar deadlifts when I am going light)

Switch your leg day so it`s done before back day! Never deadlift first and expect to squat hard later.

P, do u then do stiff leg deads on the weeks where you squat and the cut them whe you do regular deads?

I train legs and do deads twice a week. This shocked my muscles at first, but after a while they've gotten used to it, and i've seen some massive results in the size of my hams. I also started taking Glutamine and Vitamin C, this has sped up my muscle's recovery quite a bit. Oh, and i'm not telling you to deadlift twice a week - I have to do that to get ready for competition

but I AM saying that your body can probably get used to doing them once a week if you seperate the days properly.

I do stiff legs when I squat and when I do romanian deadlifts. it doesn't really bother me to do both types of deadlifts in the same workout.

There's been quite the variety of responses, from twice a week to once every three weeks. This is clearly a case of your mileage may vary. Experiment and try different schedules. Personally I deadlift on Sundays and do legs (squat) on Wednesday. Lately I've also been doing low rep box squats on both days.

I took out doing SLDL for my legs on the same week I do Deads for my back. Found that was too much strain on my back for the level I'm at right now.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
