Reply With QuoteAlternate the squats and deads each workout. Or, do deads on pull day. Just maintain 3 days between squats and deads and your numbers shouldn't be effected.Originally Posted by JonnyStead

Squats/Deadlifts vs Max weight
Hey all - I know there are stickies about the construction of routines etc but I wanted to ask a particular question.
I've just switched from doing the same routine twice a week to splitting the routine over Mon and Fri. At the same time I have incorporated Deadlifts for the first time (I know, I should have been doing them from the start but I was scared of doing my back in!).
So I put the deads in on the same day as the squats and having done the deads first I found I was way to tired to squat at my normal weight (about 116kgs) - so my question is, Do I....
Keep the deadlifts on the same day as the other leg work I do (squats, calf raises etc) but drop the weight down on the squats
Move the deadlifts to the other session in the week - thereby enabling me to continue with the same weight on squats etc but clearly impacting on recovery.
Would love to hear all your thoughts on this... thanks all!I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?

maybe instead of regular deads do it with less bend at the knee so it's more posterior chain less quad.
