deadlifts

[minion]

It takes "heart" to do the dead and the squat.

I've been doing them since freshman year of highschool, I'm going to be 28 tomorrow. I had a minor back injury, but I don't think it was because of heavy lifting.

I think it was work related.

I want to start incorporating DLs into my routine, but don't know whether to do them on leg day or back day? My concern is that I don't want my legs to be sore (on leg day) from the DLs I do on back day. I have thought about switching legs and back to the same day to remedy this but I prefer to train legs by themselves. I noticed one reply about doing hams and back on the same day which might work for me. I currently do SLDLs on leg day for hams and butt.

Currently, I'm doing three days on, one off.

day 1: chest / triceps / delts
day 2: back / biceps
day 3: legs
day 4: off

Maybe I should go:

day 1: hams / back
day 2: quads / shoulders
day 3: chest / arms
day 4: off

I've been training for years, but have hit a major bodyweight plateau (200 - 205 lbs) for the past year at least. I feel like my training routine is totally FBR right now. I know I've got to lift heavy on compound excercises to get through this. What works best for y'all?

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Did someone say DEADLIFTS?????



I am actually only using sldl in my current routine on the same day as squats. This is allowing better recovery then when I was squatting and doing conventional deads on different days.


My next routine, however, will be primarily focused on increasing my deadlift!

I think that guy has got it out for deadlifts! Personally, I love the simple mass builders (deads, squats, chins, etc...)
