do you guys do dead lifts on back days or leg days?
back day, unless your doing dead lfits for your legs lol. i dont feel it in my legs at all just purely lower back and traps.
First thing on back day. My legs get fried real good when I switch to sumo style.
back day...stiff deads on Ham day
I prefer to do deads on back day as well. I really don't see why people would do them on leg day. Unlike beta I do mine at the end of a back workout. If I start out and do deads, then hit up bentover bar rows or something similar my lower back is fried! lol

I do deadlift on back day, and then i do roman dead lifts on leg day were you put about 135ish to start off with and just keep it next to you legs it rips you legs like you wouldn't belive, careful the first time cause you be hurting the next day
First exersice at the back day
That's the way it's supposed to be. I thought I'd get all tore up the last Monday, I did deads. Wasn't really hurting. :eek:Quote:

I did three sets of warm up deads. Then three working sets.
Right after, I did bent over rows on a platform so I could get the barbell to hit my toes before I come up to my stomach for three sets at 165lbs.
I do em on back day, sometimes I do lat pull downs first to get the blood flowin, deads second, bent over rows, then shrugs. Git r done.
I may try that 63190. All I know is that if I start out doing deads my lower back is so pumped and tight that it ruins the rest of my workout.

Ditto! Deads are dead last in my back routine.Quote:

If you are bb'ing then what SC and others said is worth trying but if you care more about non lift-specific max strength (ie cross training for another sport, not powerlifting) then IMO you need to deadlift first and deadlift heavy. I give deadlift it's own day and then I train the rest of my back aroud it.

You aren't going to win any powerlifting contests or make the starting lineup on a ball team becasue you did a lot of cable crossovers in your program. Does that make sense?
