They're rough lifts, but as long as you aren't overtraining, why wouldn't you?

I've been squatting twice a week and deadlifting once for a few months now, and it's worked very well for me.

Deadlifts take ALOT out of me. I can only do them 2, maybe 3 times a MONTH. If I start doing them heavy every week, my numbers go down after a few weeks. I need about 3 or 4 days of rest after squats before I will dead.

I get raped of all my energy from doing squats and deadlifts. I wont do a squat or a deadlift withing 2 days of one or the other. I like that idea about training them in different weeks. Give it a try. leg presses dont please me though. I think its a cheap way to pussy your way out of a squat. But who am I to say?,.....

I agree. I don't think doing both once a week is a problem. But I do think it's a good idea to separate them as much as possible.

I do squats every week, but I replace deads with rows sometimes. If I dead every week, my progress takes a dive. Like Haz said, they tax the shit out of your body.
