    Pairing Back and Legs in one workout

    I'm curious to know that has anyone tried training your Back and Legs on the very same workout and achieve good results through it? I was think of it and came up with a little sample workout, please take a look.

    1) Chin Ups: 3 sets
    2) Rows: 3 Sets
    3) Sumo Deadlifts: 3 Sets
    4) SLDL: 3 Sets
    5) Leg Press: 3 Sets

    There you go, 15 sets in total, and a good selection of exercises that will hit both Back an Legs very nicely, w/o causing too much 'destruction'. What do you think about it?

    BTW, this is especially for someone like me who's gym has no bloody Squat Rack.
    Keep on going...

    I would not just because your back and legs are the two largest muscle groups, and it would be too exhausting.

    Yeah, I don't know how good your workout will be, if your gonna try it, I'd leave the chins and rows till last as they're probably the easiest of all.
    Cool

    Currently, I work back and hammies together and have had some success. Below is my workout


    SLDLs 4 sets
    Lat Pulldowns 4 sets
    Barbell Rows 4 sets
    Seated Leg Curl 4 sets
    Lying leg Curl 4 sets
    Roman Chair 3 sets

    This is alot of sets, but my back only responds to a higher volume. I do this on Monday and don't do quads until Thursday so that my back is ready for squats. I agree that you should put any deads you do at the beginning of the workout so that you are fresh for them.

    If i was to do them together i'd do back first, purely because by the time i'm done with legs i can barely string a sentence together, let alone put intensity into my back.After doing back i'm not as capoot.

    Yeah, thats true to TCD, I don't think I'd have a good workout no matter what order I did them in.

    Well it depends actually. If you were doing an all over body split say once every 5 days then maybe it wouldn;t be so bad -purely because all over splits tend to only use 1 exercise directly per bodypart eg

    Bench
    row
    chin
    OH press
    squat
    deadlift

    (all for 1-2 sets)

    I could manage that, but i'd still be screwed at the end of it.
