Leg day?

I would say either Leg day, or back day.. Any day that you would incorporate your back, legs, or a pulling motion..
I train deads on leg day, cause i switch off from squatting to deading to keep shocking my quads every couple of months.. I usually start off with them because i go heavy, and no i don't use wraps for deadlifts.. Every few months i'll switch back to Squats cause they are nearly identical in movements..
I have nothing left after doing my leg routine so I do them on the day I work back. Generally it's the first exercise I start out with just so as not to do them in a weakened state. I've serious lower back issues so I have to watch my step with deads.
Whatcha thinking bout? Thinking of moving them to leg or back day?
Sorry to hear about your back bro... gettin olds a bitch aye?! ;)Quote:

thanks,

Monster... just like you to NOT pick the one day I do them on!! you're such an antagonist! (but I love ya anyway!) ;)
Bro Bro Bro... Where you been all my life..lol..If it makes you feel better sometimes when i am feeling stronger then normal, I will train them on back day at the end of my workout to really exhaust my entire body.. Followed up by an off day to recover.. lol
Make sure you give yourself some rest time between Back day and Leg day....I try to keep three days between them but I'm an old dude so you young bucks might get by with only a day or two. :)Quote:

I don't think I qualify as a "young buck" seeing as how you're only 2yrs older than me... but thanks anyway! :lol:Quote:

Waste of time on Leg day if you ask me. Yeah, you can work your hams with it, but you'd have to go lighter then what you could do. On back day, you could blow the **** out of your back with heavy weight on Deads. Do it on Back day.

On average i just go with what is working, If i don't see any strength gains I switch it up when i need to.. I did squats for 3 years straight until i got so wide and my ass got so big i gave them up all together for a while.. I always done deadlifts, but i just incorporate them on my leg day instead of not doing squats..Quote:

back day :D I love them too, hehehe
My philosophy is pretty much the opposite of yours Juggernaut. I like to do deadlifts last on back day so I don't use up my energy before I do my row exercises.Quote:

I always do them on leg day right after squats then finish the rest of my workout. I'm warmed up good and used to heavy weight so I usally just do 2 sets with 4 plates then on to the next leg exercise.
I do them on back day, switching them from first to middle and last exercise. I tend to pull alot better when there second or last cause everything is loose and stretched.
