Need help bros - dl's!

[BOOEY]

I can't do Deadlifts on back day anymore. When I do them first, my upper back routine suffers. When I do them last, I'm usually too wiped to make a strong effort. SO here's my weekly schedule, where can I fit them in?:

1-Back, Abs
2-Chest
3-Off
4-Shoulders, Abs
5-Bis Tris
6-Legs
7-Off

What do you think about doing them right after squats? Too much? I'm not sure if I want to devote an entire day to DL's ... maybe as a last resort. Thanks bros!

After squats is an option..or do them after delts then hit some abs...

Think about splitin your back into two workouts one for thickness and one for width.
1-Back width, Abs
2-Chest
3-Off
4-Shoulders back thickness (deads), Abs
5-Bis Tris
6-Legs
7-Off

What exercises for width and thickness?

 

[Scotsman]

I would alternate deads and squats do one one week then the other the next in that program.

i would go with what the Scotsman said...squats and deads works the same muscles. i would alternate them every week or so. or do deads every 3 work outs (2 weeks with squats, then deads one week.)

When I was doing deadlifts Id often mix them into my upper back routine to help solve that problem somewhat. For example Id hit 7 sets of upper back work first, then go into deadlifts. Then after deadlifts were complete Id do the last 8 or so sets of upper back work. The first sets would usually be T-bar rows, Lat pulldowns, with some chin-ups mixed in too. But chins are mixed in throughout the entire routine, as are dumbell rows, between sets of deadlifts. I wont be deadlifting consistently or much for a while though, so youll have to back track in my journal to see the old routines, or I can just post an example up. Hope that helps
