deadlifts and squatts on consecutive days

guys i wanted to know peoples thoughts on doing squatts on a monday and deadlifts on a tuesday?????

would you advise moving it to weds as that is the latest i can do them in the week as need to be fresh for rugby on a sat or is it ok to do them on consecutive days withought 48 hours for my cns to recouperate?

also doing squatts today and i was going fully deep on 140kg's but my mate was doing partial reps on 160kg's prob a 1/3 of the way down - now is it benefical to go as heavy as poss on a couple of sets and then drop the weight and do full sets or should i just stick with 4 full sets of 6?

cheers

There are of course always many different perspectives and good opinions.

I would seperate at least a day. I do legs on Tuesday and deads/back on Thursday.

On squats, I would say to mix things up and maybe try both methods. The heavier you go the more cautious you need to be with running them deep. Doing 1/3 is not good all the time... Here is a leg work that hits mine pretty hard with some variations in depth. Did this morning for squat exercise.

135 (warmup) 10 reps
225 (warmup) 10 reps
315 ass to ground 10 reps
405 parralel or close to it 6-8 reps
405 parralel or close to it 6-8 reps
315 parralel 8 reps
225 legs close together ass to ground 10 reps

then on to leg press, etc...

mix it up some and see how it goes.

I wouldn't do it!

i agree with RON

should you do your squats all together? or is it okay to walk around from machine to machine and do 1 x squat 1 x leg press 1 x leg extension and do that over 4 times?

Could you do it? Yes
Would I? No

After leg day, my lower body is done for a few days
I usually do back on a Tuesday or Wednesday and legs Friday
