    DL Q,singles or trips ?

    It6s been a little while since I've posted since my injury.I've been back in the grove for 2 wks now and starting to feel solid once again.
    Well I'm going too continue my wsbb splits,
    DAY 1
    bench me

    DAY 2
    upper back

    DAY 3 off (on duty)

    DAY 4
    Squat ME

    DAY 5
    bench de

    DAY 6 off (on duty)

    DAY 7 off

    DAY 8
    Dead lift ME / squat de

    DAY 9 off (on duty)

    DAY 10 same as day 1 and so on.

    As some of you know I work shift work 24/48 so that limits me to the splits that I've chosen,I've tried training sq's and dl's with 3 days between and found that it did nothing but over train me,the way the splits are set up now I have 4-5 days between muscle groups.
    enough about my routine,on my dl days do you think working up 20lb. singles would be better than working up in 20lb. 3rm's ? I like working up 20lb. 3rm's with the squat but found that doing the same for dl's seems to exhaust me before I start hitting the bigger numbers.I also follow my dl movements with the box squat,heres an example of my primary and secondary squat and dl days.

    SQUAT
    PRIMARY=full rom squats,I work up in 3 rm's untill I'm unable to do 3 rm's,then I wrap up
    SECONDARY=leg press,6 sets of progressive 10 rm's
    and third (just thaught I should mention),GHR and abs

    DL days
    PRIMARY=I change up evey 3 wks,rotating Rack pulls(3'' below the knees),and sumo dl(from the floor),both for singles
    SECONDARY=box squats 5 x 5

    I'm really going to focus on getting my dl up this go around,I'm shooting for a 75-100lb. increase on the dl ,and a 50llb for my raw squat by the 1st of the year,if any of you have any suggestions or comments please feel free,they will be appreciated.
    and 3rd some ham work

    i switch it up a bit i like to do 3- 5's for volume(that is when i am trainf for volume and work with singles when i am peaking or when i use anything over 80%. , i am starting to really only do 1 top set and i actualy like triples alot more than sets of 5's in the volume microcycles.
