I have a question Steve. You say don't do deadlifts and squats in the same week. What about doing heavy rack pulls on back day then doing squats on leg day
i said i don't do deadlifts and squats in the same session.. if you are working out almost every day you would actually end up doing both every 4 days or so
you could do both in the same session, there are no rules.. but i prefer to be fresh for both and hard and heavy... then increase the reps and drop the weight as the session continues.

Re: push, pull, legs routine outline
I actually like that idea a lot..
just crush your legs w/ squats.. rest 3-4 days and do deads.. rest 3-4 days and do squats again...
cant wait to start this on monday!!!
Thanks again for all the info Steve.

excellent.. except put the deadlifts in with your leg days.
try to hit 15-18 sets per day and mix things up here and there and you will be golden on that.
I especially like the inclusion of weighted pullups and dips.. those are what separate the men from the boys. if you can hit the gym atleast 5X per week you will be dangerous with that workout.

Thanks Steve. I feel like this is going to be a nice break from the 5x5.
What are your thoughts of adding in power cleans somewhere in here?

Re: push, pull, legs routine outline
i know i am not steve, but i'd throw that in on the leg day. i would rotate squats, deads, and power cleans on leg day.
