Training Legs and Back same day?

[-SD-]

I need an effective routine for training legs and back on the same day. I was thinking back first then legs afterwards, since my legs will be jelly and I need some leg strength when working back with deads, rows, etc. My concern is that its a bitch of a workout and whatever bodypart is trained second might suffer because I am fatigued. Hows this for basic mass and strength since I had two shoulder surgeries last year:
Deads-5 sets total, 2 total failure sets
Barbell rows- 4 sets total, 2 total failure sets
Cable rows, or Lat pulldowns- 3 sets total, 2 total failure sets
Squats-5 sets total, 2 total failure sets
Leg press- 3 sets total, 2 total failure sets
Leg curl- 4 sets total, 2 total failure sets

know wveryones different but squats and deads on the same day...........I could never

why cant you split back and legs up ? ?

I d do squats OR deads, mabey switch em up from week... Just me though

I do legs & bis on the same day, but, thats about all I could handle. Personal perference, I wouldn't do legs & back on the same day. Both are too important & demanding of body parts...

If you can do anything after a good leg or back workout you're not training hard enough

Better then I was going to say it.

I will confess however I squat and deadlift on the same day. The deads are Sumo however and primarily a leg movement. It's a tough workout, but I'm digging it right now. But my main back workout is on another day.

Its no wonder people have small legs!
Im fucked and i mean FUCKED after 6 sets on quads. Thats it for my day, home to bed. Cant even train hams or calves with quads.
6 sets and im nearly sick, cant breathe and never want to see the gym again

Agreed. I also couldn't see doing a full leg workout after heavy deads and rows. It's cheating yourself IMO.

I just did the same routine I posted above and I am going to have to split my back and legs up. I wasnt even trying that hard and it drained me pretty bad. I will probably hit legs sunday night after my girlfriend leaves since she spends the whole weekend with me and drives an hour to do so.

Have you considered dropping the volume?

A solid workout would be...

3 sets of Deads
2 sets of bent-over
2 sets of pull-down
3 sets of squats supersetted w/ 3 sets of leg curl
(skip leg press cause you already did squats)

I wouldn't even bother trying to do back and legs in one day. if your girl comes over on the weekends the squat on fri and do back on monday. never sacrifice one bodypart for another

Legs separate - back and bis together - you should concentrate on just legs for the workout. If you still feel like you need to do more, increase the weights on your legs.

I do chest and legs sometimes in a high/low superset fashion,if ta can do anything at all after you must go harder,I can barely stand ,but its a great change

Agree...

Deads should be the core of a solid back workout and squats the core of a solid leg workout. Personally, I'm usually pretty spent after deads/squats and have to fight just to finish back/legs...I couldn't imaging doing both in one workout...or even within a couple days of each other. Unless your looking for more of a circuit type overall body workout...in which case you'd be using lighter weights and I could see getting them in the same day...but that's not what you're interested in...right?
