When to do Deadlifts

[VooDoo Lady]

I train legs once a week, and my husband insists that I souldn't do deadlifts and squats in the same workout....

Where should I add them?

Current split:
Legs
Arms
off
Back
Chest
Cardio
Off

Thanks

you can do dl+squats as long as you don't also do leg press that day

I agree with your husband. Do deads on back day.

SWEET! You answered my other threadas well Thanks gymtime!

Thanks for that link ddc - very cool site

always on back, Deads work the legs but they work the back far more. Plus you get that nice pump in the back especially the lower lats and traps if you do romanian deads...

Definitely on back day, I would also do them first as if you tire out the stabilizing muscles before you deadlift, then your putting yourself at risk for injury as it's hard to maintain form.

I do mine on leg day right after I get finished with 5 or 6 sets of squats. I think it fits in perfect. I get the most amazing pump when combining them.

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

You can do them either day. I prefer to work deadlifts in with lower body, since it is primarily a lower body exercise. I do low body work twice a week on my current program and do a ton of different froms of pulls. I also, on two separate days per week do upper back and lat exercises. I have no problems with soreness affecting my sessions.

Dead lifts are like chocolate

its good any time

either at the end of a back workout, or at the end of a leg workout
