Back day followed by legs day?
I'm reworking my schedule and I was wondering what the general consensus is on working these two muscle groups on consecutive days.

Sure, but I think legs then back is better...
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless those who bless me as I gladly accept their blessings, and curse those who curse me all the while protecting me for any evils. In Christ name, amen...

Ummmm I do not work back or legs without at least one day between them. It just takes too much out of me with deads and squats on back to back days (no pun intended). They are large muscles and I am usually toast after back or leg day. It is just my opinion that it would be best to have a day of rest between them. It may work for you though. So give it a try and see how it works for you.

No, Squats/Deads wich I am assuming you do on leg day work the lower back, and traps, wich are used during a back day in rows/pull-ups, etc. doing leg day after back day will not give these muscles proper recovery time. Originally Posted by -vulcano-

I would separate them if at all possible, but it isn't going to make your resistance training program ineffective or anything. Why can't they be spaced out further?
