    number of sets for dead lifts and squats

    my goal for doing dead lifts and squats is to increase to net strength throughout my body

    (getting the growth effect they have on other body parts)

    I normally go with at least 5 sets of deads on back day and usually at least 5 squats on leg day, occasionally with a few sets of front squats on top of that.

    I usually go with something like 8 sets of 3, 10 sets of 2, 7 sets of 4. Usually high sets low reps for me.

    After performing warm-up sets, 1 set of 5 reps. Squat is done on quad dominant day and deadlift is done on hip dominant day.

    I do six sets of squats on legs day, but was thinking of also doing squats on back day. How's it treating you? Good? I am looking for more mass in my program. Did it help you? I don't know anyone else who has done it.
    I think it would be killer.

    It depends. I do 3 reps of increasing weight until I can no longer do 3 reps with the same weight. Then I drop to singles.
