    Can u Squat and Bench in the same day?

    Is it possible to do my leg workwout in the early morn., say 6 am, and do my push workout in the late afternoon, say 6 pm? i would only do this for this one day because i missed a workout day and i am trying to catch up by doing both on the same day.

    If you won't take that advice and you're completely opposed to missing a workout, then do an abbreviated combined workout.

    If your not depleted from squats than your not going heavy enough.

    To me it's squats and little else.

    I squat and bench in the same workout with no problems, but I will do one high intensity and one low intensity.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    I read an article on mindandmuscle.net today that says this kind of set-up can actually be beneficial because then you can have a full day off between workouts for complete rest and to let your CNS recover. What are your thoughts on this? (rather than say doing legs one day, then chest the next).
