"2014 - Kunce of the year"
Wasn't sure if I should put this in the body building or power lifting section, so I just put it here.
Not sure if such a program exists, but I was thinking the other day while driving to work for an hour, I might give Squats and Deadlifts daily a run for a little while and see.
My thoughts were, light day alternating with heavy day, plus one other exercise.
So it might look like this:
Heavy Squats (1-6 reps) / Heavy Deadlift (1-6reps) additional exercise eg Bench
Light Squats (8-20 reps) / Light Deadlift (8-20 reps) additional exercise eg Press
Etc Etc
Or would I be better off:
Heavy Squat (1-6 reps) / Light Deadlift (8-20 reps) plus additional exercise
Light Squat (8-20 reps) / Heavy Deadlift (1-6 reps) plus additional exercise
Which one would be better, and what rep range for the additional exercise?? I was thinking 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps?
Would I be better off doing Deadlifts first or Squats first?? Or alternate?? Would it matter??
I want to start this after I get back from my holiday which starts on Saturday and only goes for a week.
I have been doing Squats and Deadlifts every second day (Alternating) for the last few weeks but mainly been doing them fairly light 8-15 reps, no heavy work. Done with additional lifts in the same rep range, just to grease the groove or condition the body, not really for gains as such.
Any SENSIBLE feed back from those that actually lift rather than just troll Body Building Forums or pointer towards an existing similar routine that may already exist would be appreciated.
