squats and deadlifts

[Stangman99]

both, and the great thing for squats is the rack is always available at my gym

Both, but I cycle the lifts. I dont train both at 100% intensisty, only one at a time. Its hard to push your poundages up on both deads and squats at the same time (especially the more advanced you become). Right now Im training for a 600lb Dead, so I am hitting my squats at a lower intensity level- around 70% of max.

GREAT!!! Take the two biggest muscle building exercises known to man and scrap them...throw them out the window!!!! Suck it up and do them man..sure...you will hurt...but you will grow from them. I'm on a personal mission to squat over 6 with no help (spot, wraps, suit, belt, etc...) and to dead in the mid 8's as close to the same way as possible. You know what? If I even come close to these feats...I'll be a much bigger and stronger man than I am now!!!

Squat and deadlift...you will grow from them. Your back hurts? It will grow stronger...it will take time...but it will grow stronger...I promise.

If you don't do squats or deadlifts then you are a pussy and you really don't want to train. You may hate them at first but you will learn to love them. And Im not talking about the half ass pussy squats when guys don't go all the way down. When you squat you go low or don't even bother!!!!!

Make your workouts intense, Do squats, do deadlifts and you WILL grow!!!!!

both (not on the same day of course).

i used to hate them. hate them. but now they'e my favorite lifts. it's good to push around that much weight still keeping in mind that they're both technical lifts. great to have a lift that you really have to think about to get right, but which you still getto move a lot of weight.

I do both and so should you. You're lower back is weak and it you need to bring it's strength up or else you're asking for an injury. Start out light with no belt on both exercises and work your way up. Your lower back strength will shoot up in no time and you won't get those pains there anymore.
