    What kind of deadlifts are you hitting on leg day? In conventional (rather than sumo or straight leg) I would consider moving them to back day.

    To be honest I don't think I could even deadlift after an intense session of squats.

    i was thinking the same thing about the deadlifts on leg day but maybe he means stiff deads but if you're doing traditional deadlifts i would move them to back day also. i think your routine looks very good and well planned. good luck.

    one thing i'll throw in there is switch between db's and bb's and use cables some and just change some movements here and there on occasion. i don't know about you but i can't do the exact same thing week after week.

    I like your routine but what about alternating your chest workout with one week of barbell presses and the following week do the same press movements but use dumbbells instead to change the angles you hit your chest and this will encourage more growth.

    Good idea to put the deadlifts in first on back day or do bent over barbell rows for about 8-10 reps x 3 sets instead. Alternate them each week as well. No need to do deadlifts on legs day.

    Do leg press after squats on leg day, one week do heavy weight 3 sets x 8-10 reps till failure for leg press, the following week do 3 sets x 20 reps but perform the movement super slow, if you have never trained legs this way before it is super high intensity and will make you grow. Do them so slow that each set or 15 reps should take around 2 minutes to complete.

    Here is one more thing you could also try Edited
