Hey guys I do 5 sets of dead lifts on my back day and I have been doing them every other week because I have heard it will lead to over training if done every week. I am on cycle now so can I do them every week?

Hey guys I do 5 sets of dead lifts on my back day and I have been doing them every other week because I have heard it will lead to over training if done every week. I am on cycle now so can I do them every week?
i do 5x5 on deadlift every week and i dont use steroids
love dead lifts i reckon they are great i normally 3x8 every week
I don't think your at risk of over training if you do them once a week
Not that Im a workout guru, but my workout is three days on one day.
Day 1 chest, tri's, shoulders,
Day 2 squats legs and calves
Day3 dead lifts, back and bi's
Day 4 either rest or cardio (depending on how wrecked I am.
And a little bit of stomach throughout everydays workout.
I haven't done any cycle yet and i love my dead lift days. I look forward to them. I don't feel I'm over training doing them about twice a week.
And when I do them it's 5 sets, 15-12-10-8-8
I would hope you are resting in between deads and squats. In fact it would be better to put the chest, shoulder, tri day in- between.
No worries on over training with 5 sets of deads once a week. With proper rest and nutrition you'll be good to go.
agreed^^^^
According to power lifter dec11 heavy reads should be every.other week. Again that was.heavy deads
What rep range would be considered heavy?Quote:

I do them twice a week. romanians for hams and regular deads for back. I keep it light though and concentrate on form
twice a week i read in an article that Deadlifts skyrocket the production of testosterone and GH (like squats)
Dude Once a week... Its why I split up my legs...
Leg day 1 = Heavy squats/press/extensions and bla bla bal plus light hamstring work..
Leg day 2 = Heavy deadlifts/curls and i throw in some light quad work...
That is how it should be done... about 3 days apart... cripple/rest/repeat :lol:
i do the same, it takes me 2-3 days to be able to use lower body again so i can only do squat and deadlift once a week each, but i do light squats for deadlift warmupQuote:

personally i do 2-3 sets of heavy deads every pull day, and 3 sets squats every legs day, and my split has me repeating each workout every 4th day, so deads and squats both get hit twice in 8 days
You squats and deads are to close , Mon , wed , fri would be a better if your going to do heavy deads after squats, give the legs a rest before your deadsQuote:
