Deadlifting after squats.

[British Bulldog]

Guys, I have started a new power lifting routine that involves performing the big 3 lifts 3 x per week (mon, wed, and fri) in a 3x3 rep/set scheme. The order is bench press, squats and then deadlifts. It was my first day today & I have dropped 10kg on my max deadlift; this I would expect since I am having to perform them after a squat session.

My question is: will deadlifting less weight because of this routine sacrifice making better progress on the deadlift?

How long have you been doing that? I am not familiar with your routine, so I don't really feel like I can answer the question. I would be interested in updates on how well this program works for you, though.

Can you tell me more about it?

It involves training on monday, wednesday & friday. Here is the link to this routine:

no. The reason why you can't dead as much is because your legs are already tired from squats. The end result is that your legs get just as much if not more work and therefore grow more.

you have to remember that your muscles don't know the diffrence between the weight you are using they only undertand that they were punished over and over during the workout.

after a few weeks you will find that if you do deads first you will be able to pull allot more, you just could not tell that it was going up while you did squats first

I went through somthing simular to this when i did OHPes after bench.

Thank you, thats what I was asking. Im only doing it for 3 weeks while on a 3 week cycle. If it does not work then on my next 3-weeker I shall try out a different routine.

Did you test your 1RM Deadlift? you are meant to test it prior to starting the program or take a recent max done in the previous month or so.

The program calls for training at a fixed percentage of your projected max in the first week (58%).Its a volume accumalation phase.

Only after you have completed the programm and taken a deload week to recover can you then test to see where you are at.

just confused about how you know your max has dropped on day one..unless you tested as part of the session which you should not do.

Normally I deadlift 190kg x 4 reps, but when I did it yesterday as part of the new routine I only managed 190kg x 1 rep. This I was expecting, but my question is:

Will deadlifting less weight due to this routine lead to less overall gains as oppose to deadlifting when fresh? Because I squat first my legs are weaker and giving up b4 the back during a deadlift. Does this mean that my back will be getting less training from the deadlifts?
