Goodmornings after squats. Good idea?

[from zero]

As you may or may not know, I'm now training old school style, a la Cornholio. This has me squatting twice per week, Monday and Friday (Mon = 5x3, Fri = 5x5 with Monday's weight). Tonight I performed my squats, and decided to do a little "accessory work" with some light GMs. I had an incredible pump in my lumbars aftrwards. Will this be beneficial in my training?

I also might add that I regularly perform a couple bodyweight sets of reverse hypers before squatting and deadlifting. Ab work will also be done, but I haven't decided which day to throw it in on. Perhaps my off days. Or Wednesday (Deads, bench, rows).

Its a good idea!

Speaking from personal experience, I have had great gains in size and strength performing squats and GMs together.

Always perform squats first.

Excellent, thanks bro.

Do you think I should just put them after Friday's workout (the 5x5), or both?

From Zero,

I know that you are performing old school, so what does your current leg routine consist of?

Man!!

Thats a totally solid routine!

This might give me an idea . . . .

Overall, the plan is strong and I can see why you are putting on the pounds.

How about your strength? Is it increasing?

I do squats first and then gm's, I am much stronger now at all parts of my lower body lifts due to core strength and hammy strength

I do squats then gms quite often.

 

[ffknight84]

every leg day i do it that way, i can really feel it in my hams and glutes after the 3rd set

i think it is fine, i personally would not go too heavy on the gm's after squatting though.

I agree. I'm doing them fairly light.

Swain, I only have just started this week, and am slowly easing my way into it. In a few weeks, I'll let you know how I'm still growing and getting stronger.

For the past few months these two exercises have been the basis of my leg workouts, although not always arranged that way.

At the moment I am doing squats followed by GMs, then lunges. All I need
