I suppose you could do a light day and a heavy day. Would I deadlift twice a week...probably not.

Hell no I would not. Squat two three times a week but deads only once. I guess it ultimatley depends on your goals though if your going light and low intensity I would say go for it.

^^Yeah, i've done deads 3x a week in a fullbody routine. I did vary the form and intensity for each workout.

NO
Overall, it is a bad idea.
Overtraining The Lower Back
The problem is the lower back is quickly and easily overtrained.
Back Involvement Movements
What most individuals don't realize is how much the lower back is involved/worked in other movements. Movement like squats, standing pressing movements, curls, etc involve the lower back.
Squat especially place a high demand on the lower back.
Twice A Week Deadlifts
Exactly, what would be your reasoning for performing deadlifts twice a week?
As some of the other post have noted, if you going to deadlift twice a week, make one a light deadlift session.
Anaboic Stimulus
The purpose of resistant training is to provide an anabolic stimulus.
Too much training negates that anaboic stimulus. Instead you end up placing your muscles in a catabolic enviroment, muscle loss.
"Wound Healing"
Muscle growth occurs with rest.
The greater the trama induced with training, the longer it takes for the muscles to recover.

WHO?
I actually switch it up I do deads one week and rack pull the next. But Sometimes I do squat 3 times a week light medium heavy. I actually got my squat up 80 pounds in three months. I was kinda of improvising my own work out with some of Bill start 5x5. I go ass to grass not parallel or anything. I will post a video next time I squat. One of my biggest pet peeves are guy that claim they have a big squat when all they do is un rack the dam bar and re rack it.

Here are my honest thoughts, based on the assumption that you're young.
Just by what this says
You really should be doing more deadlifts.
So you're a "notbig". How many different types of deadlifts have you even done? When you start a new type of deadlift, how much weight do you start off with? Is it heavy, medium, or light? It should be light. It's unfortunate that light deadlifts don't sound very fun since it's exactly what I think you need. I'm sure you've heard there are many different types of deadlifts besides the standard (Romanian, Trap Bar, Strait-Leg, Stiff-Leg, Suitcase, Sumo, Unilateral, Zercher, ect...). They don't have to be a heavy lift. I like strait-legged deadlifts as a finishing or light weight exercise, and sumo for medium weight, but that's me. You need to experiment and find what works for you. The experience will only help you.
You would have to alter your current routine to accommodate the addition. You're currently training arms twice a week, and that's the last thing you need. Have you even done a routine that included cleans? Anyways, I get easily distracted. Let me know if you wanna switch your routine.

Sure you can! Provided you set up your weekly routine to ensure you don't overtrain as deadlift is a taxing compound lift.
deadlifts 3 times a week and you have the cheek to say i have a shitty training regiment and " hope you hurt yourself" oh the fucking irony u pussy!
People that really 'deadlift' barely can muster the energy to deadlift once a month.
If you think twice a week is possible, you're not putting out. Period.
Even on Gear, once a week wears you down. A good deadlift session fries your nervous system, and shocks you to the point its 5-7 days to recover.
2 times a week? Fucking retarded.
Bump the intensity dog

im no expert, but the strength programs ive been researching do deadlift at most 1x a week, for novices,at most 3x every 2 weeks
you can rotate power cleans instead of deads

IMO you sure could do deadlifts 2x a week but I'd recommend a light day and heavy day as others suggested. I personally hate doing deadlifts so I wouldn't do them more than 1x a week. If I tried to do anything 3x a week it'd be squats or core/abs (which I do 2x a week).

LOL arms.......Arms are my best body part honestly and I barley trains them....NOT genetically speaking either. Once you distinguish the difference between a compound and isolation exercise then you can really start to grow.
