Also, I like the flexibility (as you pointed out) - it's possible to do a nice 2-day, 3-day, or 4-day routine per week if you start the week with squat/deadlift. I travel for work and don't always have access to heavy lifting so having a very flexible Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303722195011215428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-72413278274606432522013-08-03T13:49:40.082-07:002013-08-03T13:49:40.082-07:00well done paul,i cannot recover from deadlifts,ore...well done paul,i cannot recover from deadlifts,ore squats quick enough,to do 2 lower body days a week,so i was wondering i could do squats and deads same day,i knew about andys bolton routine,but never thought about trying:)thanks again:DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247941865371139732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-46800707426119621202010-05-09T16:30:48.220-07:002010-05-09T16:30:48.220-07:00Good stuff Daniel.

The difference with cleans and snatches is that there is no negative and thus it doesn't impede recovery as much.Paul Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352715396075897963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-57428212035816557642010-05-09T16:14:19.413-07:002010-05-09T16:14:19.413-07:00I second training both lifts on the same day.

Cleans and snatches are a bit different animal than deads, but not so different. If you are a competitive lifter and choose to squat and dead on separate days, make sure you have meet "practice" sessions where you test both lifts in theDanielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-79886367089119985742010-05-09T14:01:20.609-07:002010-05-09T14:01:20.609-07:00I have been contemplating for a while whether or n...I have been contemplating for a while whether or not I'm going to lift 2X a week or 3X a week in prep for the meet in August. Even if I lift 2X a week squats and deads will stay on the same day.Paul Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352715396075897963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-27265402247336328942010-05-09T13:53:53.667-07:002010-05-09T13:53:53.667-07:00I've actually found that as I've gotten mo...I've actually found that as I've gotten more advanced (i.e. stronger) that I do better doing both on the same day. My lower back gets too beat up training them separately. I also think I actually pull better after squatting than I do when the DL has it's own day (of course I usually don't SQ heavy if I'm planning on heavy DL).

It's kind of like the "what constitutes strong" post. I wouldn't want to hit one at a time. I would want to be as close as possible to everything at once. I suppose if I'm not close to 700 in the next year it might not be a bad idea to focus on the dead only for a while Paul Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352715396075897963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-59893377971655768472010-05-09T12:10:01.342-07:002010-05-09T12:10:01.342-07:00Paul,

For example, to hit your 700 deadlift, would you back off a little on squat intensity/volume to insure you always are at 100%, come deadlift day? That's worded like crap, but hopefully the idea made it through. Also, I'm specifically biglifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144235288757334023noreply@blogger.com
