When do you do dead lifts?

[bishonen]

Sofa,
Seriously bro, if you can do squats after deadlifts you aren't deadlifting right. I usually have to lay on the floor for a while before I can even scratch my ass. You plan on doing a productive bunch of squats afterwards??? imo, a very bad idea

I get the strangest looks when I finish a set of deads, set the bar down, and just fall backwards. It's usually a good half-a-minute before there's any movement out of me.

Do squats on leg day, do bench on chest day, and do deadlifts on back day. Build on these exercises and you will grow. Skip them cause they hurt and leave you feeling dumb and dizzy, and you will look like a person who cannot handle the pain of these incredible mass building exercises.

well i've only done them 2 times so far, but i do them on back day. (which seems to work well, so....)

all,

if one were to get sore from dl'ing what area of the back would it be?

I maxed out this weekend and my lower back was sore...is this normal or an indication of bad form?

Also, how often do you test your max?

peace

Your lower back will suffer most, but as you get better and stronger, you'll find your whole back will feel sore, even your lats, and in ways you never thought you could be sore!!!

Good luck bro

I recently started too, and I find that back day is the day to do them.
I feel it in my hams a bit, but by far most of it is in my back.

i think it's important to vary it. try a split where you do them on back day. try a split where you do them with quads. try a split where hams are separate from quads and back.

most of the time i've done deads, i've done them on their own hamstring day. i think doing them after squats can be good too. after squats, your lower back and hams will be warmed up, stretched and tight. my pr dead was done after doing squats.
