    Super Set Deadlifts with Squats

    I'm thinking of super setting bent leg deadlifts with squats. Has anyone tried this? What do you think?

    Yeah it's normal dead lifts. I said bent leg dead lifts so people would not confused them with stiff leg dead lifts for hamstrings.

    Well, I did it. I super set squats with deadlifts. Starting with a set of squats first then immediately doing deads. It was awesome, felt more like endurance than pure strength. I was growling like a mofo and thought I would pass out after my second set. But I actually went 50 pounds pass my max on deadlifts. I was so pumped. I had half of the people in my gym looking at me like an idiot. Heh But it felt great, and I survived. After that I superset hack squat and leg press. I can't wait till next week to try this again to see what my max weight is.

    I do stiff deads for hamstrings and I do front squats periodically. I was told that front squats are more for shaping than building mass.

    Yeah man i know, i was thinking of trying to hit the legs like you do with biceps/triceps.
    And from my experiance front squats do build mass. Itīs the only squat i do.
